Commercial occupancy sensors

Square D commercial-grade wall switch occupancy sensors are available in single-and dual-circuit models. Both models use passive infrared and light-level sensor technologies to automatically shut off lights in rooms during unoccupied periods or when sufficient daylight is present and artificial lighting is not required. Offered in white, ivory, gray, light almond, and black, the sensors feature a color-matching lens. According to the company, neither model requires a neutral connection or minimum load. In addition, both feature a 180° field of view while achieving 300-sq-ft minor motion coverage. Selectable auto-on and manual-on modes allow the sensors to be tailored to the specific needs of any application. The dual-circuit occupancy sensor independently controls two lighting circuits in spaces where bi-level control is required by the local energy code.
