Product Description
Lutron’s ceiling-mounted Occupancy Sensors are wireless, battery-powered, passive
infrared (PIR) devices that automatically control lights via RF communication with a
dimming or switching device. These Sensors detect the heat from people moving within an
area to determine when the space is occupied. The Sensors then transmit the appropriate
commands to the associated dimming or switching device to turn the lights on or off
automatically, providing both convenience and exceptional energy savings.
Install a Sensor in as
little as 15 minutes
Pre-Installation
Before setting up the Sensor, the corresponding dimming or switching device(s) should
be installed. Refer to that product’s installation sheet for instructions.
Twist and remove mounting bracket to insert battery.
Set-Up
In order for the Sensor to operate properly, it must first be set up with a corresponding
dimming or switching device. The procedure for setting up a Sensor with a Maestro
Wireless® (MRF2- only) Dimmer or Electronic Switch is detailed below.
If setting up a Sensor with a different device, visit www.lutron.com/occsensors or consult
the installation guide for that device for the correct set-up procedure.
Setting up a Sensor with a Maestro Wireless Dimmer or Electronic Switch
Place the Dimmer or Switch in set-up mode
by pressing and holding the tap button for
approximately 6 seconds until all LEDs on the
device begin flashing. Release the tap button.
Add the Sensor to the Dimmer or Switch by pressing
and holding the “Lights Off” button on the front of
the Sensor for approximately 6 seconds until the lens
flashes briefly. The lights in the room will also flash 3
times, indicating the Sensor has been successfully
added. The Dimmer or Switch will exit set-up mode
automatically.
The “Lights On” and “Lights Off” buttons should now switch the lights in the room on and
off, respectively, when pressed.
Repeat the above procedure to set up the Sensor with any additional devices.
Setting the Occupancy Light Level (occupancy version, dimming devices only)
Set the Dimmer to the desired light level for entering the room.
Save the occupancy light level by pressing and
holding the “Lights On” button on the front of a
Sensor that has been set up. After approximately
6 seconds, the lens will flash rapidly several times,
indicating the light level has been saved. All Sensors
set up with the Dimmer will now use the saved
occupancy light level.

CSensor Placement and Coverage
Before mounting the Sensor, please note the following:
• The Sensor is designed for ceiling use only. DO NOT install on ceilings higher than
12 ft (3.7 m) or non-ceiling surfaces. Doing so may significantly inhibit the Sensor’s
performance.
• The Sensor should be installed in a location where it has a good view of all parts
of the room. The Sensor requires line of sight to operate properly. If you cannot
see the Sensor, it cannot see you. The Sensor cannot see through glass objects
such as patio or shower doors.
• DO NOT mount the Sensor within 4 ft (1.2 m) of HVAC vents or light bulbs installed
below the ceiling line. Warmer rooms may reduce the Sensor’s ability to detect
occupants.
• The Sensor may be installed up to 60 ft (18.3 m) away from the associated dimming
or switching device(s) if they are in direct line of sight. If there are walls or other
barriers between the Sensor and receiving device(s), the Sensor should be located
within 30 ft (9.1 m).
• Whenever possible, avoid placing the Sensor in a location where it has a broad view
outside the intended space. If this is unavoidable, the lens can be masked to block
the view of undesired areas (refer to section I. Lens Masking).
• The Sensor’s detection range is dependent on the ceiling height, as shown in the
table below.
Temporary Mounting Methods
If you are uncertain about correctly positioning the Sensor, the following temporary
mounting and testing procedures are recommended to verify proper performance before
permanently installing the Sensor.
Temporary Drop Ceiling Mounting
Use this procedure if the Sensor will be mounted on a ceiling tile.
The ceiling tile mounting wire is provided for both temporary and permanent mounting of
the Sensor to drop ceilings composed of multiple tiles. It is designed to allow temporary
mounting, testing, and repositioning (if necessary) of the Sensor without damaging a
ceiling tile. Once the Sensor’s final position has been chosen, the mounting wire can be
twisted to lock the Sensor in place permanently.
Insert the ceiling tile mounting wire
through the two smaller holes in the
mounting bracket and replace the
mounting bracket.
Mount Sensor to a ceiling tile by inserting the wire
legs through the tile, making sure the Sensor is
flush to the tile.

Permanent Mounting Methods
Permanent Drop Ceiling Mounting
After the Sensor has been temporarily mounted, leave the Sensor in place on the
tile and either take the tile down or remove an adjacent tile to gain access to the
legs of the mounting wire on the back of the tile.
Twist the wire legs together tightly so the mounting bracket
remains snug against the tile.
Replace the tile.
Permanent Solid Ceiling Mounting
Drill two 3/16 in (4.6 mm) pilot holes for the provided screw anchors.
Press the anchors into the holes and tap flush with a hammer.
Place the flat side of the mounting bracket against the
ceiling and install the two provided screws using a hand
screwdriver.
Attach the Sensor to the mounting bracket by
inserting and twisting in a clockwise direction
until the Sensor locks into place.

HAdvanced Set-Up (Optional)
The Sensor features several advanced set-up modes. For the majority of installations,
the default settings will provide the best performance and you will not need to utilize the
advanced set-up.
The Occupancy version of the Sensor has three adjustable advanced set-up modes:
Timeout, Auto-On, and Sensitivity. The Vacancy-Only version has only two modes
(Auto-On not available). The default settings are listed below.
Default Settings:
Timeout: 15 minutes
Auto-On: Always (Occupancy version only)
Activity: Low Activity
Advanced Set-Up Modes
Timeout
The Sensor will turn the lights off if no motion occurs for the duration of the timeout period.
There are three available timeout settings: 5, 15, and 30 minutes.
Auto-On
The automatic-on functionality of the Sensor can be adjusted to control how the lights
respond upon initial occupancy. There are three available settings: Always, Low light,
and Disable.
Always: The lights will always turn on.
Low light: The lights will only turn on automatically upon entry if there is not already
sufficient ambient light in the room.
Disable: This setting converts the Sensor to vacancy mode. The lights will not
automatically turn on but will still automatically turn off after vacancy. The lights must be
manually turned on by using the associated dimming or switching device.
NOTE: The 15-second vacancy grace period is active in this mode. Refer to the
Sensor Operation section at the beginning of this document for more details.
Activity
The sensitivity of the Sensor can be adjusted based on the expected level of activity
within the room. There are three available activity settings: Low Activity, Medium
Activity, and High Activity.
Low Activity: This is the most sensitive setting and will detect very slight motions.
This is the recommended setting, as it will work well for nearly all applications. It is
ideal for spaces where occupants will often be seated for long periods of time.
Medium Activity*: This setting is slightly less sensitive than the Low Activity
setting and can be used for spaces that experience normal activity.
High Activity*: This is the least sensitive setting and can be used for spaces that
will generally only experience large motions, such as foot traffic.
* The Low Activity setting is the default and will perform best for most applications. Rarely, if the Sensor is
placed near external noise sources such as heating vents, air conditioning vents, or light bulbs, it may turn
the lights on without occupancy or keep the lights on too long after vacancy. If this occurs, changing the
sensitivity to Medium Activity or High Activity should resolve the problem.
Advanced Set-Up Operation
The advanced set-up is accessed by using the buttons on the back of the Sensor.
To display the current setting, press and release the desired button. An LED will
illuminate briefly, indicating the current setting.
To adjust a setting, press and hold the desired button until the LED corresponding
to the current setting begins flashing rapidly, indicating the setting can now be
adjusted.
Each subsequent button press of less than 2 seconds will increment the mode to
the next available setting. Pressing any of the other buttons will have no effect.
To save the selected setting, press and hold the button until the LED turns on solid,
indicating the saved setting.
During the adjustment procedure, if there is no activity for 30 seconds, the LEDs
will turn off and no settings will be saved.
Lens Masking (Optional)
Whenever possible, the Sensor should be installed in a location where it cannot easily see
into areas outside the intended space, such as hallways or adjacent rooms. If this situation
cannot be avoided, portions of the lens may be masked with the provided labels to block
the Sensor’s view of the undesired areas.
· It is recommended to remove the Sensor from the mounting bracket before applying
the masking labels.
NOTE: The Sensor can be screwed onto the mounting bracket in several
different orientations. Be sure to note the Sensor’s orientation before taking it
down and replace the Sensor in the same orientation to ensure the intended
area gets blocked.
· Outer lens sections correspond to the detection regions furthest away from the
Sensor, while inner sections correspond to regions closer to the Sensor.
· Be careful when applying the labels to avoid creating gaps between adjacent
masked sections. The Sensor may detect motion through inadvertent gaps.

Confirm the coverage area by walking through the space and observing the lens.
The lens will glow solid every time motion is detected. If the lens remains off during
motion, the Sensor cannot detect motion at that location.
Press and release the “Test: Sensor” button again to exit the test mode. If the button
is not pressed, the test mode will automatically time out 15 minutes after being
enabled, or 5 minutes after the last detected motion if the room is vacated.
If the Sensor has significant trouble detecting motion during the test, it should be
moved to another location and retested. If the Sensor still has poor detection from
the new location, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
NOTE: If the Sensor is detecting motion in areas that are not desirable, such as
hallways or adjacent rooms, refer to section I. Lens Masking.
If Sensor detection is satisfactory during this test, perform the wireless
communication test as described in section F. Testing Wireless
Communication.
Testing Wireless Communication
This test should be performed to verify that the Sensor has been correctly set up
with the corresponding dimming or switching device and that there is proper
wireless communication from the chosen Sensor location.
If the lights in the room are not on, turn them ON manually at the dimming or
switching device.
Press and release the “Lights Off”
button on the front of the Sensor. The
lights should turn OFF.
Press and release the “Lights On”

Dimmer or Switch
Key Features
· Low Maintenance. 10-year battery life. Convenient low-battery indicator.
· Multiple Devices. Up to 3 Sensors can work together to control lights for broader
coverage in large spaces. Each Sensor may be added to up to 10 receiving devices.
Sensor Operation
Occupancy Version – The Sensor will automatically turn the lights on when the space is
occupied and automatically turn the lights off after the space is vacated.
Vacancy-Only Version – The lights must be manually turned on* at the dimming or
switching device. The Sensor will automatically turn the lights off after the space is vacated.
* There is a built-in 15-second vacancy grace period that begins when the lights are automatically turned
off, during which the lights will automatically turn back on in response to motion. This grace period is
provided as a safety and convenience feature in the event that the lights turn off while the room is still
occupied, so that the user does not need to manually turn the lights back on. After 15 seconds, the grace
period expires and the lights must be manually turned on.
NOTE: For either Sensor version, the lights can also be manually turned off at any time by
using the dimming or switching device directly.
NOTE: Do not over-tighten.
