PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The WSD is a stylish, easy to install, and simple to use Wall Switch Decorator style
Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor. It is ideal for private oces, copy rooms, closets, or
any small enclosed space without obstructions. A user programmable time delay
ensures that once the room is vacated the sensor will time out and turn o the lights.
Additionally, the WSD sensor has several On Modes and Switch Modes that can be
programmed using the front push-button. For rooms with obstructions, the Dual
Technology WSD PDT Series sensor is recommended. Additionally, all WSD Family
sensors have a patent-pending wiring method that enables them to function either
with or without a neutral connection. WSD units come pre-congured for wiring
without a neutral; however, if connection to neutral is required by code, contractors
can convert the unit in seconds (see page 3).
All WSD Family sensors utilize 100% digital Passive Infrared (PIR) detection.
Dual Technology (PDT option) versions add Microphonics detection and are
recommended for oces and rooms with obstructions. Additional versions include
units with dual relays - perfect for bi-level applications, or bathrooms with a light
and a fan.
SENSOR OPERATION  WSD sensors detect changes in the Passive Infrared (PIR)
energy given o by occupants as they move within the eld-of-view. In an Auto-On
sensor, once occupancy is detected, an internal relay switches on the connected
lighting load. In a Vacancy (Manual On) sensor, the unit’s push button must rst be
pressed to initiate the lights on. In a dual relay sensor, once occupancy is detected
the unit will automatically close Pole 1’s relay while still requiring Pole 2’s push-
button be pressed in order to close Pole 2’s relay. All modes are user adjustable (see
On Modes setting).
After the lights are turned on, an internal timer keeps them on during brief periods
of inactivity. Once the time delay has expired, lights are turned o automatically.
The default time delay is 10 minutes - chosen in order to maximize energy savings
while preventing false-os. This timer is programmable from 30 seconds to 30
minutes, and is reset every time occupancy is re-detected. Patented LampMaximzer
technology is also present in these sensors, providing an additional minimum on
time (disabled by default) to be utilized if desired.
WSD sensors with Passive Dual Technology (PDT option) rst see motion using
Passive Infrared (PIR) and then engage Microphonics to listen for sounds that also
indicate continued occupancy. This patented technology dynamically adapts a
sensor to its environment by ltering out constant background noise and detecting
only noises typical of human activity.
KEY OPTIONS
VACANCY OPERATION (SA and VA)
Increased energy savings and required by many codes
The unit’s push button must rst be pressed to initiate the lights on
• SA version can be reprogrammed to Auto-On operation
VA version operates in Manual On mode only
DUAL RELAY (2P, 2P-SA, and 2P-VA)
Ideal for bi-level switched rooms or restroom with light & fan
• Includes two isolated relays, Pole 1 defaulted to Auto-On, Pole 2 to Vacancy
• Enables separate time delay per pole - programmed via each poles push-button
• UL listed to switch dierent loads per pole - e.g. 277 VAC lights on Pole 1 and 120
VAC fan on Pole 2
• 2P-SA and 2P-VA versions are factory set with both poles set to manual on
LOW TEMPERATURE / HIGH HUMIDITY (LT)
Required for cold or humid areas
• Device electronics are coated for corrosion resistance
• Operates down to -40º F/C (-4º F / 20º C for PDT)
