Installation & Operation

The Enerlites MPC-50H-W installs easily in high bay or ceiling mount configurations and operates on 120-277VAC. The sensor features interchangeable 360° fresnel lenses that provide up to 2800 sq. ft. coverage area for comprehensive space monitoring. The 42" wire lead provides flexible installation in high ceiling applications. The adjustable time delay ranges from 15 seconds to 30 minutes, allowing you to customize how long lights remain on after the last detected motion. The DIP switch simplifies sensor configuration for easy setup. The adjustable PIR sensitivity setting allows fine-tuning for optimal performance in various environments, while the adjustable ambient light level prevents the sensor from turning lights ON when sufficient natural light is available, maximizing energy savings. The LED indicator flashes when motion is detected, providing visual confirmation that the sensor is actively monitoring the space. The zero-crossing function extends relay life and reduces electrical noise. Convertible from high bay to ceiling mount for installation flexibility.

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.
