- Leviton® DOS15-1LZ DOS15 Motion Sensor Light Switch, 120 VAC, Passive Infrared Sensor, 900 sq-ft Coverage, 180 deg Viewing, Wall Mounting
Occupancy and Vacancy Modes → Supports Automatic ON/Automatic OFF operation, with the ability to switch to Manual ON/Automatic OFF for greater user control.
Passive Infrared (PIR) Motion Sensing → Automatically manages lighting based on room occupancy.
180° Field of View with 900 sq. ft. Coverage → Helps detect movement across a wide area for effective lighting control.
Compatible with Multiple Load Types → Controls LED, CFL, incandescent, halogen, magnetic low-voltage, electronic low-voltage, fluorescent, and motor loads from a single device.
Adjustable Time Delay Settings → Delayed OFF timing can be set to 1, 5, 10, or 20 minutes to match application requirements.
Adjustable Sensitivity Range → Coverage can be customized to suit different room layouts and installation environments.
Ambient Light Override → Prevents lights from turning ON when sufficient natural daylight is available.
Shallow, Low-Profile Design → Fits easily into standard wallboxes and maintains a clean appearance.
Manual Push-Button Control → Allows lights to be switched OFF manually at any time.
Multi-Location Capability → Supports single-pole, 3-way, and multi-location applications when used with compatible companion devices.
Program Without Removing Faceplate → Simplifies setup and adjustment after installation.
Neutral Wire Installation → Provides reliable operation when installed in compatible wiring configurations.
