DESCRIPTION
Leviton's Designer Multi-Technology Wall Switch Occupancy
Sensor, Cat. No. OSSMT-MDx, is designed to detect motion using
the passive infrared (PIR) sensor from sources (such as a person
entering a room) within its field-of-view (monitored space) and
automatically switch lights ON. The ultrasonic (US) sensors work
with the PIR to keep the lights ON when occupied. The controlled
lights will remain ON until no motion is detected and the scheduled
time-delay has expired. The sensor adapts its time delay settings to
the occupancy patterns of a room.
Cat. No. OSSMT-MDx is UL listed, cUL listed and conforms to
California Title 24 requirements.
The Occupancy Sensor senses motion within its maximum
coverage area of 2400 sq. ft (223 m2) and controls the connected
lighting. This is a self-contained device that provides sensing and
light control. The Occupancy Sensor will turn the lights ON when
motion is detected and keep the lights ON for as long as motion is
detected.
The PIR Occupancy Sensor uses a small semiconductor heat
detector that resides behind a multi-zone optical lens. This Fresnel
lens establishes dozens of zones of detection. The Sensor is
sensitive to the heat emitted by the human body. In order to initially
trigger the Sensor, the source of heat must move from one zone
of detection to another. The device is most effective in sensing
motion across its field-of-view and it is less effective sensing
motion towards or away from its field-of-view). Keep this in mind
when selecting the installation location (refer to Field-of-View
diagrams).
The US Occupancy Sensor uses a non-audible, high frequency
(40kHz) to sense Doppler shifts caused by motion in the space. The
US is more sensitive to small motion and does not rely on line of
sight for detection. If both sensors have not detected any motion for
the set timeout period, the lights will be turned OFF.
Note that occupancy sensors respond to rapid changes in
temperature, so care should be taken not to mount the device
near a climate control source (i.e. radiators, air exchanges, and
air conditioners). Hot or cold drafts will look like body motion to
the device and will trigger it if the unit is mounted too close. It is
recommended to mount the Occupancy Sensor at least 6
ft. away from the climate control source. The device can be
mounted in a single gang wall box.
In addition, it is also recommended NOT to mount the Occupancy
Sensor directly under a large light source. Large wattage bulbs
(greater than 100W incandescent) give off a lot of heat and
switching the bulb causes a temperature change that can be
detected by the device.
Mount the Occupancy Sensor at least 6 ft. away from large bulbs. If
it is necessary to mount the device closer, lower the wattage of the
bulb directly overhead.
NOTE: To avoid PERMANENT DAMAGE to the unit, be careful
NOT TO OVERTURN the control knobs or levers when setting
the Sensor. The controls can be accessed by removing the
wallplate (if applicable) and control panel cover (refer to Control
Panel Diagram). Use a small straight blade screwdriver to adjust
knobs and blinder levers.
NOTE: DO NOT press in on blinder levers or use excessive force
(refer to Control Panel Diagram).
• Attach the Control Panel cover when the desired settings are
complete.
If lights do not turn ON, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING
section.
FEATURES:
NOTE: To access control settings, remove the control panel
cover. If necessary, remove the warning label that covers the
adjustment dials (refer to Control Panel Diagram).
Factory Settings: The sensor is shipped from the factory to work
in almost all situations, without any added adjustments. The factory
settings are: Blinders open, Adapting Time-Out starting with 30
minute Base Time-Out, Lights always turn ON regardless of existing
light levels, and Medium range.
Blinders: The blinders are two independent shutters that can
narrow the field-of-view from a maximum of 180° down to 32°. The
blinders are operated by moving the blinder levers towards or away
from the center of the Sensor. The blinder levers can be found
above the control dials in the control panel (refer to Control Panel
Diagram).
Time-Outs: The Sensor has three types of Time-Outs: Walk-
through, Fixed, and Adapting.
• Walk-through Time-Out: The value of this Time-Out is preset to
2.5 minutes.
• Fixed Time-Out: The value of this Time-Out is user selected
through the use of the Time Control Setting.
• Adapting Time-Out: When activated, the value of this
Time-Out (30 minutes) is changed by the Sensor based
on room occupancy and lighting conditions.
Walk-Through: The walk-through feature is useful when a room
is momentarily occupied. With this feature, the Sensor will turn the
lights OFF shortly after the person leaves the room.
The walk-through feature works in the following manner: When a
person enters the room, the lights will turn ON. If the person leaves
the room before the walk-through time-out of 2.5 minutes, the
Sensor will turn the lights OFF. If the person stays in the room for
longer than 2.5 minutes, the Sensor will instead use the time-out
per the Time Control setting (refer to Time Control setting in the
following sections).
Adapting Time Delay: The Sensor has built in adapting intelligence
that changes the Adapting Time-Out duration in response to the
occupancy conditions of the room it is installed in.
If the Sensor detects “large” motions (as in a person walking by),
it will NOT change the Time-Out duration. If the Sensor detects
“small”, infrequent motion (as in a person sitting down and writing)
it will INCREASE the Adapting Time-Out duration. If the Sensor
detects “small”, frequent motion (as in several persons in a room
during a meeting), it will DECREASE the time-out duration only if
it was NEVER increased (this is because the built-in intelligence
will always proceed in the direction of “increasing” adapting Time-
Out once it has increased it for any of the occupancy conditions
sensed).
If the room is occupied for longer than 2.5 minutes, the Sensor will
enter the Occupied Mode with the time-out duration specified by
the Time Control setting. This time-out is used as the starting point
for adapting. After seven days, the Time-Out value will adapt to the
“best” value based on the occupancy conditions detected in the
room.

OPERATION
PUSH-BUTTON: Cat. No. OSSMT-MDx has a push-button switch
that will toggle the lights (refer to Figure). If the lights are OFF, the
lights will turn ON when the button is pressed, and remain ON in the
presence of motion. In the absence of motion, the Sensor Unit will
Time-Out and turn the lights OFF.
If the lights are ON, the lights will turn OFF when the button is pressed.
The lights will stay OFF regardless of motion detected, until the Time-
Out expires. After the Time-Out expires, the lights will turn ON with the
next detected motion. This is useful for slide or film presentations.
NOTES:
• The Motion Indicator LED will blink every 2 seconds while motion is
detected.
• In Manual-On mode, the button must be pressed to turn the lights
ON. In the absence of motion, the unit will Time-Out and turn the
lights OFF.
• If Manual-On mode is desired, keep the Light knob in the fully
counter-clockwise (CCW) position.

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. If there is no response from the unit and the LED never blinks or the
push button does not activate the lights 1 1/2 minutes after power is
applied, then uninstall device and verify wiring (Step 4).
2. If the lights constantly stay ON, even when the room is unoccupied:
A. Check the Time setting. See how this time compares to how
long the lights stay ON.
B. Try lowering the Range Control. Rotate the knob counter-
clockwise about 30˚.
C. If the problem persists, try reducing again. Note: Do Not reduce
so much that Cat. No. OSSMT-MDx cannot see normal
occupancy.
D. Be sure to use the Blinders to block any unwanted hallway
traffic.

SETTINGS
NOTE: To avoid PERMANENT DAMAGE to the unit, be careful NOT
TO OVERTURN or use excessive force when setting the control
knobs or levers of Cat No. OSSMT-MDx. Use a small straight blade
screwdriver to adjust the knobs and your finger to adjust the blinder
levers.
1. Remove Decora® wallplate and Control Panel Cover from Sensor.
2. Rotate the Time dial to select the desired fixed Time-Out value.
3. If the Sensor is installed within 6 feet of an air duct, rotate the
Range Control 1/4 turn counter-clock-wise (CCW).
4. Set the Ambient Light Level - AMBIENT LIGHT: Cat. No.
OSSMT-M
Ø x has an adjustment to determine at what minimum
ambient light level the unit will operate. The adjustment should be
made when the ambient light is at the level where no artificial light is
needed. Follow these steps to make a more accurate adjustment of
the light control.
NOTES:
• If Manual-On mode is desired, turn the Lights knob to fully
counter-clockwise (CCW) position.
A. With the lights ON, rotate the Time Control fully CCW to the set
the Time-Out to the thirty (30) second test mode (refer to
Control Panel Diagram).
B. Rotate the Light Control fully CCW.
C. Cover the Sensor Unit with an opaque material, or leave the
room and let the Sensor Unit Time-Out and turn the lights
OFF.
D. Rotate the Light Control clockwise (CW) SLOWLY, until the
lights turn ON. This is the setting for the current level of light
in the room.
NOTE: When the light control is in the fully CCW position the
lights will never automatically turn ON. This is the Manual-On
mode, where the lights need to be manually turned ON by the
push-button, and will turn OFF with the absence of motion.
If the light control is in the fully CW position, the lights will turn
ON whenever motion is detected, even in full daylight.
Intermediate settings will cause the lights to turn ON only when
the ambient light is below the level selected by the light control.
NOTE: The ambient light in a room will change with the time
of day and the season of the year.
6. Time-Out Settings:
A. Adjust the Time dial. The Sensor Amber LED will flash twice
each time the Time dial is pointed at a new Time-Out value. The
Time-Out values for non-adapting mode are:
NOTE: To return to adapting mode, rotate the Time dial to full
CW position. Be sure the Time dial is rotated until an Amber
LED flash is issued to be sure a new time value was selected.
Then return the Time dial to the desired Time-Out setting.
7. If desired, adjust the blinders to block any unwanted motion.
8. Replace the Control Panel Cover and Decora® wallplate.

If the Sensor detects motion within 45 seconds after the lights turn
OFF, it will turn the lights ON and increase the time-out value by 1.5
times the existing value.
The adapted Time-Out may be reset to the base value by rotating
the Time Control to a new time selection value (refer to Control
Panel Diagram).
Time Control Setting: The fixed Time-Out value is selected by
rotating the Time Control dial. There are four (4) values from which
to choose. Each mark around the dial corresponds to a different
value as indicated below (refer to Control Panel Diagram).
NOTE: All time durations are approximate within ±10 seconds.
Ambient Light Override: The Ambient Light Override is used to
keep the lights OFF if there is already enough natural light in the
room. For proper operation, the Ambient Light Override adjustment
must be performed when there is enough natural light (refer to
the SETTINGS section). If the adjustment is made when there is
less natural light, the lights may not turn ON even though they are
needed and will require manual activation of the push-buttons to
turn the lights ON.
NOTE: The ambient light level in the center of a room will be
different than the level at the wall where the switch is located.
Ambient Light Dial: The ambient light setting is adjusted with the
Ambient Light Dial (refer to Control Panel Diagram). Turning the
Light Dial fully counter-clockwise (CCW), sets the Sensor to manual
ON mode (lights always turn ON) (see following section). All other
settings will cause the lights to turn ON only when the light level is
less than the setting.
To prevent false low light levels from the user standing in front of
the device during adjustment, the Sensor remembers the ambient
light level from 1 minute ago.
NOTE: When the setting is at the minimum CCW level, the lights
will stay OFF when the room is dim. When the setting is at the
maximum level clockwise (CW), the lights will turn ON when the
room is bright.
Manual ON Mode: When the light control is in the fully CCW
position the lights will never automatically turn ON. In this mode
the lights need to be manually turned ON by the push-button, and
will turn OFF with the absence of motion. If the light control is in
the fully CW position, the lights will turn ON whenever motion is
detected, even in full daylight. Intermediate settings will cause the
lights to turn ON only when the ambient light is below the level
selected by the light control.
NOTE: The ambient light in a room will change with the time of day
and the season of the year.
PIR RANGE: To decrease PIR detection range and sensitivity,
rotate the knob CCW (refer to Control Panel Diagram). The
detection range can be adjusted from 100% down to 30%.
ULTRASOUND (US) SENSITIVIY: US sensitivity can be adjusted
to LOW-MEDUIM-HIGH by holding the ON button for 15 seconds.
The Amber LED will flash 3 times (per second) for HIGH, 2 times
for MEDIUM, and 1 time for LOW. Tapping the ON button during
the desired LED flash indication will set the sensitivity. The program
times out in 30 seconds from the last button press. The factory
setting for the US sensitivity is HIGH.
