Occupancy Vs Vacancy Sensor

From wall and ceiling mount to wall switch and wireless leviton motion.

Occupancy vs vacancy sensor. The goals of integrating appropriate lighting controls into any design are to improve comfort and usability for occupants and to decrease lighting energy use. To sum up the basics. Understanding when to install a vacancy sensor instead of an occupancy sensor is crucial to creating the optimal automated lighting system in your home or office. Occupancy sensors may be specified as manual partial or full on devices.

When an occupant enters a controlled space the occupancy sensor indexes lights to on without requiring. Leviton offers a wide selection of occupancy sensors and vacancy sensors commonly referred to as motion sensors or motion detectors or motion light sensors for commercial and residential applications. They are typically deployed with automatic on automatic off and time delay settings. An occupancy sensor turn lights on automatically upon the detection of motion then turns the lights off automatically soon after an area is vacated.

Manual on sensors also called vacancy sensors require the occupant to turn the lights on using a manual switch which may be integral to the sensor shown here is an example. Dual technology lutron now offers maestro occupancy vacancy sensor switches in passive infrared pir or dual technology sensing models. When properly understood and applied occupancy and vacancy sensors can do both. Occupancy sensors are convenient and energy efficient lighting components to install throughout your home.

Occupancy sensors may offer an option selection to switch the occupancy sensor from automatically turning the lighting on to a vacancy sensor requires manual activation of the lighting by the. The majority of commercial building energy codes require manual or partial on operation. However once installed some may see a disadvantage to installing these sensored light switches into certain rooms or spaces. Both technologies provide coverage for major minor and fine motion making either option ideal for most residential and commercial applications.

Leviton offers a wide selection of wall switch occupancy sensors and vacancy sensors commonly referred to as motion sensors or motion detectors or motion light sensors for commercial and residential applications. These state of the art devices use passive infrared ultrasonic or a combined multi sensing technology.
