The Leviton line of Wireless Occupancy Sensors (WSCxx-I0W) work in conjunction with the
Wireless Wall Switch Receiver (WSS10-xDx) and the Wireless Self-Powered Remote Switch
(WSS0S-P0x). These wireless products combine Leviton's occupancy sensing technology with
self-powered and wireless technologies, developed and licensed from EnOcean®.
The Wireless Occupancy Sensors have a built-in solar cell that draws on available room light
to power itself and can operate for up to 48 hours without the need for batteries or external
power in standard manual-ON/Auto-OFF mode. Batteries are required for continuous uninterrupted Auto-ON operation.
The sensors use a small detector located directly behind a unique multi-zone optical lens. This
exclusive Fresnel lens establishes dozens of zones of detection, which can be configured
(manual masking) to block out unwanted traffic zones (i.e. outside hallway traffic). The sensors
respond to any source of heat within the range of detection, including the heat emitted by the
human body, however, the sensor is only triggered when the source of heat moves from one zone
of sensing to another. Stationary heat sources will not trigger the sensor.
