A Simple Way to Go Green: New Wireless Occupancy Sensor from Lutron
Innovative device that's easy to install for easy energy savings
The path to energy-efficient lighting
takes another step forward with the introduction of the Wireless Occupancy
Sensor from Lutron Electronics Co., Inc.
Providing a simple way to go green, the innovative sensor is specifically
designed for easy installation in conference rooms, copy rooms, small offices,
classrooms, living rooms,  bedrooms, restrooms, and other spaces where
automatic lighting shut-off is desirable.
It installs in minutes. Simply place the sensor on the ceiling and replace
your standard light switch with a compatible Lutron dimmer or switch – no
wiring is required to the sensor. The sensor contains front-accessible
buttons for easy setup and an illuminating lens to verify ideal locations.
The sensor contains cutting-edge technology to detect fine motions and perform
reliably. It has user-replaceable batteries, designed to last up to 10
years.
For flexible and scalable energy-saving retrofits, up to 10 dimmers or
switches can communicate with a sensor via radio frequency, and users can add
up to 3 sensors for superior coverage.
The sensor saves energy by turning lights off when a room is unoccupied. Each
Lutron Wireless Occupancy Sensor can save up to $85.00 a year.* What’s more,
using a compatible Lutron dimmer, with the sensor, allows you to automatically
turn lights on to a dimmed level rather than to full-on, saving even more
energy.
The Lutron Wireless Occupancy Sensor can be programmed to operate as an
occupancy sensor (automatic-on and automatic-off functionality) or a vacancy
sensor (manual-on and automatic-off functionality). A vacancy-only model is
also available to meet the California Title 24 Energy Efficiency Standard
requirements.
The Wireless Occupancy Sensor is compatible with the Lutron Maestro Wireless®
dimmer (as well as with Maestro Wireless® switch); the Vierti® Wireless
dimmer or switch; and GRAFIK Eye® QS Wireless light and shade control.
“We are very excited about this break-through product. Now homeowners,
facility managers, and contactors can retrofit a space in minutes to save
energy and money, without any rewiring,” says Eric Lind Director – Commercial
Marketing for Lutron Electronics Co., Inc.
