Description

Overview

The ENERLITES DWTOS is a combination device that includes an automated timer switch for an air-circulating fan and a passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor for lighting control. The PIR motion sensor features a 180° field of view to provide up to 600 sq.ft. of coverage area. The fresh air fan control offers both a countdown timer and a minutes per hour (MPH) timer. Automating the fresh air fan hourly helps to expel stale air and maintain good indoor air quality. This switch is compatible with incandescent, CFL, and LED lighting.

Features & Benefits

  • Dual-Function Control: Combines PIR motion sensor for lighting with automated timer control for air-circulating fans in a single device
  • Two Lighting Modes: Occupancy mode (auto-on/auto-off) or vacancy mode (manual-on/auto-off) for flexible lighting control
  • Adjustable Light Time Delay: Easily set from 5-30 minutes to match your space requirements
  • Countdown Fan Timer: Set anywhere from 5-60 minutes; activates when the fan is manually turned ON
  • Minutes Per Hour (MPH) Timer: Automates fan operation for a pre-selected duration after each hour the fan is OFF, maintaining optimal air quality
  • Independent Manual Controls: Separate ON/OFF buttons for both lights and fan provide complete manual override capability
  • Wide PIR Coverage: 180° field of view with up to 600 sq.ft. of coverage area for reliable motion detection
  • Automated Air Quality Management: MPH timer recognizes when the fan was last used and automates hourly fresh air circulation to expel stale air
  • Energy Efficient: Motion-activated lighting reduces energy waste in unoccupied spaces
  • Separate Light and Fan Loads: Requires separate wiring for light and fan circuits

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an occupancy sensor and a vacancy sensor?

Motion sensor switches utilize infrared radiation to monitor their surroundings. They emit energy forms such as light, microwaves, or sound to detect changes caused by movement. Most systems used in lighting and security are passive, meaning they primarily detect the infrared energy emitted by warm objects like human bodies.

Are occupancy sensors compatible with LED bulbs?

Occupancy sensors and vacancy sensors are both used for detecting presence in a room, but they operate differently. Occupancy sensors automatically turn on the lights when someone enters a room and turn them off when no presence is detected after a set period. In contrast, vacancy sensors require someone to manually turn on the lights, but will automatically turn them off when the room is empty.

Do these sensors require a neutral wire?

The primary distinction between a motion sensor light switch and a traditional light switch lies in their methods of activation. A traditional light switch requires manual operation to turn the lights on or off. Conversely, an occupancy sensor automatically activates the lights when someone enters the room and turns them off when it no longer detects any presence.

Can an occupancy sensor be used in a bathroom?

Occupancy sensors are designed to detect the presence of individuals or animals in a space and activate the lights accordingly, which can be combined with daylight sensors to enhance energy efficiency. On the other hand, daylight sensors adjust the lighting based on the natural light available, reducing the use of artificial lighting when not necessary.

Why do the lights turn off while I’m still in the room?

Yes! Most motion sensors have adjustable sensitivity settings. This allows you to fine-tune the device to prevent false triggers or increase responsiveness in larger spaces.
