Automatic Lighting Control for Energy Savings
It's well-known that turning off the lights when leaving the room is one of the simplest ways to cut down on energy usage. Yet it's not always convenient or easy to remember, especially in places where a variety of people are coming and going throughout the day.

The ODS10-ID helps eliminate the problem of load type selection by providing automatic control of incandescent lamps, fluorescent, and low-voltage lighting with electronic or magnetic ballasts. It provides an adjustable 180-degree field of view with optional adjustments for sensitivity, ambient-light override, and delayed OFF time. The unit also features a manual override switch that can be used to keep lights OFF while an area is occupied, which may be desired in conference rooms and other areas during slide or film presentations.

For increased energy savings , the ODS10-ID offers a light sensor which provides an ambient-light override option that can be set between 2 and 500+ foot-candles at full brightness to prevent the sensor from switching lights ON when there's sufficient sunlight, regardless of occupancy.

About PIR Technology
The ODS10-ID uses Passive Infrared (PIR) detection technology via a segmented Fresnel lens to monitor a room for occupancy. This specialized lens divides the field of view into sensor zones. When a person passes into or out of a sensor zone, the sensor detects motion and switches the lights ON. The lights will remain ON as long as there is an occupant in the room. When the space being monitored by the sensor is unoccupied for the preset time you've chosen, the unit will switch the lights OFF.

Long Life and Automatic or Manual Operation
To ensure longer service life and compatibility with electronic ballasts, the ODS10-ID carefully times its switching-contact opening and closing with the zero crossing point of the AC power curve (Zero Crossing Technology). Additionally, a latching relay provides prevents product failure when used with high inrush loads.

For manual control, the ODS10-ID features a convenient push-button switch. If the lights are OFF, pressing the button will turn lights ON and keep them ON for as long as the room is occupied. This mode is ideal for areas where manual ON switching is required but automatic OFF switching is desired for energy savings (CEC Title 24 Compliant). Lights can also be turned OFF manually at any time by pressing the push button.

For three-way and four-way control, the ODS10-ID features multi-location capability, where multiple sensors can work with one load. Multiple sensors are wired together with the load to turn the lights ON. Both sensors must time-out or both manual buttons must be pressed for the lights to turn OFF.

Compliancy and Warranty Information
UL-Listed and CSA certified, the Leviton ODS10-ID Decora Wall Switch Occupancy Sensor complies with California Title 24 Energy Code and FCC regulations, and it is backed by a five-year limited warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for the laundry room and hallways, January 20, 2007

I installed one of these in my laundry room (which is located just inside the garage door in my house). Now, whenever we come home, we don't have the fumble for the light switch. I've also installed one in the room that my wife uses for her office for the same reasons.

This switch comes with three adjustments to customize it to your needs.

First, it has an ambient light adjustment so that you can tell it not to turn on if there is already sufficient light in the room. If you turn this setting all the way up, the switch will become a manual on, auto off switch that will only turn on when you push the button, but will turn off after it senses no motion for a set period of time.

Second, it has a sensitivity adjustment, which adjusts how far the sensor will look for motion.

Third, it has a duration adjustment to tell it how long it should wait with no motion before turning the light off.

It also has a red LED, which blinks whenever it detects motion, so you can tell how whether your movements are being detected or not.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for flourescent lighting of all types, April 22, 2010

Initially purchased a cheaper Leviton ($25) occupancy switch from a local hardware store to control a 4-tube flourescent fixture in our garage. Initially the switch worked great but it eventually failed to turn on 2 of the four tubes using the motion sensor. (all four tubes lit with the manual-on overide). After researching online, I came across this switch which works with both Magnetic and Electronically ballasted flourescent fixtures so I decided to spend the money.

Installation wasn't too challenging but did require the use of an a/c probe to determine which of the two black wires was the line "hot" and which was the load (light). Set up was also a breeze with the adjustment dials being easy to understand and dial-in.

This switch just went in and it's working perfectly with no flickering or problems so far. All four tubes of the overhead fixture fire up with any motion and the manual on/off is a great feature to have as you can simply turn the lights off or on and not worry as the motion sensor resets after the selected time out period with no motion.

The unit is also much more sensitive than the previous model, picking up the initial motion of the garage door opening so the lights are on by the time the garage door is fully open.

I would love to purchase more of these swiches for closets and other areas where lights are frequently left on.

If you're looking for IR sensor switches to automatically turn on lights when you enter the room, then turn them off when the room is empty, get these sensors and don't hesitate to pay a little extra. They require no neutral wire, but still work flawlessly in 2-way arrangement (two switches controlling the same lights--either sensor turns and keeps lights on when motion is present) as well as with circline and other fluorescent lights with newer electronic ballasts.
My first purchase was for sensors found at Home Depot. After installing these, I learned that a small amount of current trickles through the switch to run the infrared sensor, and this low current is enough to cause electronic ballast to try to start--hence the HD sensors caused my fluorescent bulbs to flicker even when no motion was present.
My second attempt was my own failure to read the details on Leviton IPP15 and IPP0R sensors. I read the "Manual On" as an infrared sensor with a "manual-on" override switch similar to the ones I bought from HD. These DO indeed work with electronic ballasts, but they ONLY come on via the manual button--then turn off when motion in the room stops.
When I bought these ODS10-ID switches, install was a breeze and everything worked the first time. I was very pleased.
One very minor disappointment is that the inactivity timeout settings allow for either 30 seconds or 10, 20, or 30 minutes. I'd think a 2 or 5 minute timeout would be ideal, but is not an option.
They call the 30 second timeout a "test" mode, which is fine for testing switch operation, but we also found it is ideal for things like a laundry or utility room. You don't stand motionless there and if it doesn't sense movement for 30 seconds, the room is likely empty. We have the 2-way switches set for 10 minutes in the basement.
Note: NO NEUTRAL IS NEEDED for these, which is impressive and makes installation a breeze. Somehow, they found a way to run the infrared sensor with a little current without tripping the electronic ballasts. But these sensors are great and my wife smiles at me every time she goes into the basement and laundry room with arms loaded with laundry and the lights greet her without effort.
