DESCRIPTION
Leviton's Designer Multi-Technology Wall Switch Vacancy Sensor, Cat.
No. OSSMT-GT/OSSMT-TM, is designed to detect motion using the
Passive Infrared (PIR) and Ultrasonic sensor from sources (such as a
person entering a room) within its field-of-view (monitored space). The
Vacancy Sensor senses motion within its maximum coverage area of
2400 sq. ft (223 m
2
). The ultrasonic (US) sensors work with the PIR
to keep the lights ON when occupied. The controlled lights will remain
ON until no motion is detected and the scheduled time-delay has
expired, at which point the lights will be turned OFF. In adapting time-
out mode the sensor adapts its time delay settings to the occupancy
patterns of a room.
The OSSMT is designed to control a single lighting control circuit and
provide the energy savings of an vacancy sensor. The OSSMT-GT
does not contain a neutral conductor. It is intended for use in retrofit
applications where a neutral is not available in the wall box.
The OSSMT is a single relay device, which operates in Manual ON/
Auto OFF ONLY.
Cat.No. OSSMT-TM is UL and cUL listed. Cat. No. OSSMT-GT is
ETL listed and cETL listed.
The PIR tecgnology of the Vacancy Sensor uses a small semiconductor
heat detector that resides behind a multi-zone optical lens. This Fresnel
lens establishes dozens of zones of detection. The Sensor is sensitive
to the heat emitted by the human body. In order to initially trigger the
Sensor, the source of heat must move from one zone of detection to
another. The device is most effective in sensing motion across its field-
of-view and it is less effective sensing motion towards or away from its
field-of-view). Keep this in mind when selecting the installation location
(refer to Field-of-View diagrams).
Multi-Technology Designer Wall Switch Vacancy Sensor
Incandescent/Tungsten: 800W @ 120V
Compatible with incandescent lamps, low-voltage lighting with electronic and magnetic transformers, electronic and magnetic fluorescent ballasts, and fans.
The Ultrasonic technology of the Vacancy Sensor uses a non-audible, high
frequency (40kHz) sound to sense Doppler shifts caused by motion in the
space. The US is more sensitive to small motion and does not rely on line of
sight for detection. If both technologies have not detected any motion for the
set timeout period, the relay and its corresponding load will be turned OFF.
Note that PIR technology responds to rapid changes in temperature,
so care should be taken not to mount the device near a climate control
source (i.e. radiators, air exchanges, and air conditioners). Hot or cold
drafts will look like body motion to the device and will trigger it if the
unit is mounted too close. It is recommended to mount the Vacancy
Sensor at least 6 feet away from a climate control source.
In addition, it is also recommended NOT to mount the Vacancy Sensor
directly under a large light source. Large wattage bulbs (greater than
100W incandescent) give off a lot of heat and switching the bulb causes
a temperature change that can be detected by the device. Mount the
Vacancy Sensor at least 6 ft. away from large bulbs. If it is necessary to
mount the device closer, lower the wattage of the bulb directly overhead.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:
• Do not install this unit to control a receptacle.
• The OSSMT Vacancy Sensor is intended to replace a standard single-pole Decora wall switch.
• Do not touch the surface of the lens. Clean outer surface with a damp cloth only.
• Use this device WITH COPPER OR COPPER CLAD WIRE ONLY.
Preparing and connecting wires:

Cut
(if necessary)
• Pull off pre-cut insulation from sensor leads.
• Make sure that the ends of the wires from the wall box are straight
(cut if necessary).
• Remove insulation from each wire in the wall box as shown.
Installing your Sensor – Single-Pole Application:
Step 4
NOTE: Cat. No. OSSMT-TM requires a neutral wire. If there is no neutral
wire this device will not work.
NOTE: The Cat. No. OSSMT-GT requires a ground wire to operate
properly. If there is no ground wire, ensure electrical box is grounded and
attach ground wire to box with a screw. If the ground wire is floating this
device will not work.

switch and First traveler from Sensor 2 to Sensor 1 Black lead.
• Second Traveler wall box wire from Sensor 2 to Sensor 1 Blue lead.
• For OSSMT-TM tie Neutral wires together.
WIRING SENSOR 2:

NOTE: Dress wires with a bend as shown in diagram to relieve stress
when mounting device.
• Position all wires to provide room in outlet wall box for device.
• Partially secure device using long mounting screws provided.
• Restore power at circuit breaker or fuse.
NOTE: Allow 1 minute for warm-up after energizing.
NOTE: All models of the OSSMT are factory preset to work
without any adjustments. If necessary, adjust the Blinders and PIR
Range Control to stop any unwanted detection of motion (refer to
FEATURES section).
• For additional Time Control Settings (refer to the SETTINGS
section).
NOTE: To avoid PERMANENT DAMAGE to the unit, be careful
NOT TO OVERTURN the control knobs or levers when setting the
Sensor. The controls can be accessed by removing the wallplate
(if applicable) and control panel cover (refer to Control Panel
Diagram). Use a small straight blade screwdriver to adjust knobs
and blinder levers.
NOTE: DO NOT press in on blinder levers or use excessive force
(refer to Control Panel Diagram).
• Attach the Control Panel cover when the desired settings are complete.
If lights do not turn ON, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section.
FEATURES
NOTE: To access control settings, remove the control panel cover.
If necessary, remove the warning label that covers the adjustment
dials (refer to Control Panel Diagram).
Factory Settings: The sensor is shipped from the factory to work in
almost all situations, without any added adjustments. The factory settings
are: Blinders open, 10 minutes fixed Time-Out, Medium passive infrared
(PIR) range, and Medium Ultrasonic range. The PIR and ultrasonic
technologies are both active.
Blinders: The blinders are two independent shutters that can narrow the
field-of-view from a maximum of 180° down to 60° of arc. The blinders
are operated by moving the blinder levers towards or away from the
center of the Sensor. The blinder levers can be found above the control
dials in the control panel (refer to Control Panel Diagram).
Time-Outs: The Sensor has three types of Time-Outs: Fixed, Adapting,
and Walkthrough.
• Fixed Time-Out: The value of this Time-Out is user selected
through the use of the Time Control Setting (refer to Control Panel
Diagram and Time-Out Settings).
• Adapting Time-Out: When activated, the value of this Time-Out
(30 minutes) is changed by the Sensor based on room occupancy
and lighting conditions.
• Walk-through Time-Out: The value of this Time-Out is preset to
2.5 minutes and only exists in the Adapting Time-Out mode.
