Intermatic IOS-CMP-DT-LV Low Voltage Ceiling Mount Dual Tech Sensor Instruction Manual
Model: IOS-CMP-DT-LV
1. Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Intermatic IOS-CMP-DT-LV Low Voltage Ceiling Mount Dual Tech Sensor. This device is designed to detect occupancy using both Passive Infrared (PIR) and Ultrasonic technologies, providing reliable control for lighting and other systems.
2. Product Features
- Ultrasonic and Passive Infrared (PIR) sensing for presence detection, effective even in areas with partitions or small movements.
- Low-voltage operation (24 VDC), designed for ceiling mounting.
- Wide coverage: 360-degree, 1600 square feet for PIR, and 1000 square feet for ultrasonic detection when mounted on an 8 to 11 foot ceiling.
- Adjustable time delay from 5 seconds to 30 minutes.
- Requires an IOS-PP24 power pack (sold separately) for operation.
3. Safety Instructions
- WARNING: Disconnect power at the circuit breaker or fuse box before installing or servicing the sensor. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
- Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
- Do not install in locations where the ambient temperature exceeds the sensor's operating range.
- Ensure the sensor is powered by a compatible low-voltage power pack (e.g., Intermatic IOS-PP24).
- This device is intended for indoor use only.
4. Product Overview
The Intermatic IOS-CMP-DT-LV sensor combines two detection technologies to ensure accurate occupancy sensing. The circular design is intended for discreet ceiling mounting.

5. Installation and Wiring
The IOS-CMP-DT-LV sensor is designed for ceiling mount applications and requires a separate low-voltage power pack (IOS-PP24) for operation.
5.1 Mounting
- Select a suitable ceiling location that provides optimal coverage for the desired area, avoiding obstructions.
- Ensure the mounting surface is stable and can support the sensor.
- Follow the specific mounting instructions provided with the sensor, typically involving securing the sensor to a junction box or directly to the ceiling with appropriate hardware.
5.2 Wiring
The sensor operates on 24 VDC and connects to a compatible power pack. Refer to the wiring diagrams below for proper connection. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.

- Connect the sensor's low-voltage wires to the corresponding terminals on the IOS-PP24 power pack.
- The power pack will handle the line voltage connections to the electrical system and the controlled load.
- Always verify wiring against the power pack's instructions and local electrical codes.
6. Configuration and Operation
The IOS-CMP-DT-LV sensor offers adjustable settings to optimize performance for various environments.
6.1 Time Delay Adjustment
The sensor features an adjustable time delay, determining how long the controlled load remains ON after the last detected motion. This can typically be set from 5 seconds to 30 minutes using a dial or dip switches on the sensor.
6.2 Sensitivity Adjustment
Both PIR and Ultrasonic sensing technologies have adjustable sensitivity settings. These adjustments allow you to fine-tune the detection range and prevent false triggers. Refer to the sensor's specific markings or internal controls for these adjustments.
6.3 Operating Modes (Occupancy/Vacancy)
Depending on the power pack and system configuration, the sensor can operate in:
- Occupancy Mode: Lights automatically turn ON when motion is detected and turn OFF after the adjustable time delay when no motion is detected.
- Vacancy Mode: Lights must be manually turned ON, but will automatically turn OFF after the adjustable time delay when no motion is detected.
The selection of operating mode is typically configured at the power pack or associated control unit.
7. Maintenance
The Intermatic IOS-CMP-DT-LV sensor requires minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the sensor lens with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or debris that may obstruct detection. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- No User-Serviceable Parts: The sensor contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to open or repair the unit.
8. Troubleshooting
If the sensor is not functioning as expected, review the following common issues and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights do not turn ON when entering the room. |
|
|
| Lights remain ON or turn OFF too quickly. |
|
|
| Sensor appears unresponsive. |
