Enerlites HMVS-W PIR Vacancy Motion Sensor Switch
The HMVS-W is an Enerlites PIR vacancy motion sensor wall switch designed for energy-efficient automatic lighting control. This vacancy-only sensor operates lights using passive infrared (PIR) technology with 180° field of view providing up to 700 sq.ft. coverage. In vacancy mode, lights must be turned ON manually and then automatically turn OFF after no motion is detected for the pre-selected time delay (15 seconds to 20 minutes). Features smart LED backlight that illuminates when motion is detected for easy location in the dark. Ideal for residential applications requiring energy code compliance and maximum energy savings.

Installation & Operation
The Enerlites HMVS-W installs easily in standard electrical boxes with single-pole configuration. Requires neutral wire for installation. The PIR sensor provides 180° field of view with up to 700 sq.ft. coverage area. In vacancy mode, lights must be manually turned ON using the push-button, then automatically turn OFF after no motion is detected for the pre-selected time delay (adjustable from 15 seconds to 20 minutes). The smart LED backlight illuminates when motion is detected, making the switch easy to find in the dark. The LED indicator flashes when motion is detected for visual feedback. Manual override push-button allows on/off control at any time. Compatible with incandescent (500W), CFL, and LED lighting. The face cover is interchangeable for design flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an occupancy sensor and a vacancy sensor?
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?
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?
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?
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?
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.
