Product Description
Lutron's ceiling-mounted occupancy sensors are wireless, battery-powered, passive infrared (PIR) devices that automatically control lights via RF communication with a compatible dimming or switching device.
Important Notes
- This sensor requires a compatible dimming or switching device to control a load. Refer to the receiving device's instruction sheets for installation information.
- Use only high-quality lithium batteries, size CR123, 3 V. Do not use rechargeable batteries, as this could damage the sensor.
- NOTICE: Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, or incinerate batteries. Dispose of batteries responsibly according to local regulations.
- CAUTION: Risk of Fire, Explosion, and Burns. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 200 °F (100 °C), or incinerate. Contains a lithium battery with Perchlorate Material; special handling may apply. Visit www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate for more information.
- WARNING: Entrapment hazard. Do not use to control equipment not visible from the control location or that could create hazardous situations if operated accidentally (e.g., motorized gates, garage doors). The installer is responsible for ensuring controlled equipment is visible and suitable. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.
Sensor Operation
The sensor automatically turns lights on when a space is occupied and off after the space is vacated.

Instructions
A. Pre-Installation
- Before setting up the sensor, the corresponding dimming or switching device(s) must be installed.
- Twist and remove the mounting bracket to insert the battery into the battery cavity.
B. Set-Up
To ensure proper operation, the sensor must be set up with a corresponding dimming or switching device/system. Consult www.lutron.com/occsensors and click on "Coordinating products" to find your system.
C. Sensor Detection Range
The sensor detects motion within a specific range. The diagram illustrates the detection cone from a ceiling-mounted sensor.
Ceiling Height and Floor Coverage:
- At an 8 ft (2.4 m) ceiling height, the sensor covers a radius of 15 ft (4.6 m) at the floor.
- The maximum room dimensions for complete floor coverage from an 8 ft (2.4 m) ceiling are 18 ft x 18 ft (5.5 m x 5.5 m), totaling 324 sq ft (30.2 m²).
Sensor Coverage Chart (for sensor mounted in center of room):
| Ceiling height | Maximum room dimensions for complete floor coverage* |
|---|---|
| 8 ft (2.4 m) | 18 ft x 18 ft (5.5 m x 5.5 m) 324 ft² (30.2 m²) |
| 9 ft (2.7 m) | 20 ft x 20 ft (6.1 m x 6.1 m) 400 ft² (37.2 m²) |
| 10 ft (3.0 m) | 22 ft x 22 ft (6.7 m x 6.7 m) 484 ft² (44.9 m²) |
| 12 ft (3.7 m) | 26 ft x 26 ft (7.9 m x 7.9 m) 676 ft² (62.4 m²) |
* 12 ft (3.7 m) is the recommended maximum mounting height.
D. Sensor Placement and Coverage
Before mounting, consider the following:
- The sensor is designed for ceiling use only. Do not install on ceilings higher than 12 ft (3.7 m).
- Ensure the sensor has a clear line of sight to all parts of the room. If you cannot see the sensor, it cannot see you. It cannot see through glass.
- DO NOT mount the sensor within 4 ft (1.2 m) of HVAC vents, halogen or incandescent light bulbs, microwave ovens, Wi-Fi routers, IOT cameras, or other non-Clear Connect wireless devices. When using Clear Connect-Type X lamps or fixtures, maintain a distance of 2 ft (0.6 m) or greater from the lamp or fixture.
- The sensor can be installed up to 60 ft (18.3 m) from the associated dimming or switching device(s) if in direct line of sight. If walls or barriers are present, keep within 30 ft (9.1 m).
- Avoid placing the sensor where it has a broad view outside the intended space. If unavoidable, the lens can be masked to block undesired areas (see www.lutron.com/occsensors).
E. Mounting Methods
-
Drop-Ceiling Mounting
a. Place the mounting wire through the mounting bracket and pierce the ceiling tile. From the opposite side, slip the Ceiling Tile Backer through both legs of the wire.
b. Twist the wire tightly to prevent sensor sagging. The Ceiling Tile Backer prevents tile breakage.
-
Solid-Ceiling Mounting
- Drill two 3/16 in (4.6 mm) pilot holes for the provided screw anchors.
- Press anchors into holes and tap flush with a hammer.
- Place the flat side of the mounting bracket against the ceiling and install the two provided screws using a hand screwdriver.
- Attach the sensor to the mounting bracket by inserting and twisting clockwise until it locks into place.
NOTE: For details on temporary mounting on solid ceiling surfaces, visit www.lutron.com/occsensors.
F. Testing Sensor Coverage
- With the sensor mounted, press and release the "[Test Button]". The lens will glow briefly, indicating test mode.
- NOTE: A 90-second warm-up period occurs after battery installation. Pressing the button during this time causes the lens to flash until warm-up is complete.
- Walk through the space to confirm coverage. The lens glows solid when motion is detected. If the lens remains off, the sensor cannot detect motion at that location.
- Press and release the "[Test Button]" again to exit test mode. Test mode automatically times out after 15 minutes of inactivity or 5 minutes after the last detected motion if the room is vacated.
- If motion detection is poor, move the sensor to another location and re-test. If the sensor detects motion in undesirable areas (e.g., hallways), refer to www.lutron.com/occsensors.
- If sensor detection is satisfactory, perform the wireless communication test (Section G).
G. Testing Wireless Communication
Verify correct setup and wireless communication by pressing and releasing the "[Light Button]" multiple times to toggle the lights on and off.
H. Advanced Set-Up (Optional)
The sensor offers advanced settings for Timeout, Auto-On, and Activity. Default settings are usually optimal. Refer to the back of the sensor for adjustments.
Default Settings:
- Timeout: 15 minutes
- Auto-On: Enabled
- Activity: Low Activity
Advanced Set-Up Modes:
-
Timeout: Sets the duration before lights turn off after no motion is detected. Options: 1*, 5, 15, and 30 minutes.
*To select 1-minute timeout: Hold the timeout button for ~10 seconds until LEDs flash rapidly. Hold again until LEDs are solid to save.
-
Auto-On: Controls how lights respond to initial occupancy.
- Enabled: Lights always turn on.
- Low light: Lights turn on only if ambient light is insufficient.
- Disabled: Sensor acts as vacancy mode (manual turn-on required).
-
Activity: Adjusts sensor sensitivity based on expected motion.
- Low Activity: Most sensitive, detects slight motions. Recommended for most applications, especially for seated occupants.
- Medium Activity: Less sensitive, for normal activity.
- High Activity: Least sensitive, for large motions like foot traffic.
Low Activity is default. If issues arise (e.g., false triggers from HVAC vents), try Medium or High Activity.
