DeSCRIpTION
Leviton's Designer Multi-Technology Wall Switch Occupancy Sensor,
Cat. No. OSSMT-GD, is designed to detect motion using the passive
infrared (PIR) sensor from sources (such as a person entering a
room) within its field-of-view (monitored space) and automatically
switch lights ON. The Occupancy 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 Cat. No. OSSMT-GD is an Occupancy Sensor that is designed to
control a single lighting control circuit and provide the energy savings
of an occupancy sensor. This device 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-GD is a single relay device, which can be Auto ON or
Manual ON. The device contains a photocell that provides an Ambient
Light Hold Off function. The device is configurable for either Ultrasonic
with PIR or Ultrasonic Only modes of operation.
Cat. No. OSSMT-GD is eTL listed, ceTL listed and conforms to
California Title 24 requirements.
The PIR Occupancy 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 Occupancy 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 US Occupancy Sensor uses a non-audible, high frequency (40kHz)
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 sensors have not detected any motion for the set timeout period,
the relay and its corresponding load will be turned OFF.
Note that occupancy sensors respond 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 Occupancy
Sensor at least 6 feet away from a climate control source.
In addition, it is also recommended NOT to mount the Occupancy 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
Occupancy 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.

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-GD are factory preset to work
without any adjustments. If necessary, adjust the Blinders and PIR
Range Control to stop any unwanted activation of the lights (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, Lights always turn ON
regardless of existing light levels, Medium passive infrared (PIR) range,
and High 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 32°. 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).
