DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The Wattstopper CI-300 360° passive infrared (PIR) occupancy sensors turn lighting systems on and off based on occupancy and
ambient light levels. The light level feature keeps lights from turning on if the ambient light level is sufficient.
The sensors can be configured to turn lighting on, and hold it on as long as the sensor detects occupancy. After no movement is
detected for a user specified time (30 seconds to 30 minutes) the lights are switched off. A “walk-through” mode can turn lights off after
only 3 minutes, if no activity is detected after 30 seconds of an occupancy detection.
The CI-300 operates on 24V supplied by Wattstopper Power Packs, 24VAC, or half wave rectified AC. CI-300 sensors also have an
isolated relay with Normally Open and Normally Closed contacts for interfacing with HVAC or EMS.
PLACEMENT GUIDELINES
Depending upon obstacles such as furniture or partitions, the area of coverage may be less or more
than the sensing distances shown in the coverage pattern. This must be considered when planning
the number of sensors and their placement. It is also recommended to place the sensor 4 to 6 feet
away from air supply ducts as rapid air currents or the differences in temperatures may cause false
activations.
Mount the sensor to the ceiling. The CI-300 sensors are designed for a ceiling height of about 8-10
feet. Mounting above or below this range will significantly affect the coverage patterns. Be aware
that as you decrease the mounting height, you decrease the range and increase the sensitivity to
smaller motions. Conversely, when you increase the height, you increase the range and decrease
the sensitivity to smaller motions. At heights of more than 12-14 feet, you may start to significantly
reduce sensitivity. As a general rule, each occupant should be able to clearly view the sensor.
Often the best location to install a CI- 300 in a closed office is off-center. Avoid placing a sensor directly in
line with an open door through which it has a clear view out, as the sensor may detect people walking by.
Open Ofce Area Coverage
To get complete coverage in an open office area, install multiple sensors so that there is an overlap
with each adjacent sensor’s coverage area.
For open office areas with partitions it is best to place sensors over intersection of four workstations.
For large areas of coverage use multiple sensors.
Masking the PIR Lens
Opaque adhesive tape is supplied so that sections of the PIR lens can be masked. This restricts the
sensor’s view and allows you to eliminate PIR coverage in unwanted areas such as hallways outside of the desired coverage area.
Since masking removes bands of coverage, remember to take this into account when troubleshooting coverage problems.

Questions and Answers

    Charles Cervantes Jr.Aug 4, 2025
    Why are there unwanted sensor activations (LED flashes) with my LEGRAND Accessories?
    • K
      Kelly GlennAug 4, 2025
      Unwanted sensor activations, indicated by LED flashes, can occur due to several reasons: * The PIR sensitivity may be set too high. * The sensor may be located too close to HVAC or VAV vents with heavy air flow. * Check if Light Level is enabled. If the occupancy indicator LED blinks every few seconds, the sensor is using the Light Level feature. If Light Level functionality is not desired, press and hold for 5 seconds to return the sensor to the default setting (maximum). * Improper sensor location or inadequate masking causing detection outside of desired coverage area. Mask the lens to reduce PIR coverage. * Change the logic configuration setting. * Relocate the sensor.

    What to do if LEGRAND Accessories lights do not turn off automatically?
    • M
      Maria FrancisAug 26, 2025
      If the lights do not turn off automatically, consider these possibilities: * The sensor technology (PIR) may be experiencing activations from outside the controlled area or from some type of interference. Check all sensor and power pack wire connections. * Try disconnecting the power pack’s blue wire. If the lights do not turn off, replace the power pack. If the lights turn off, the problem may be in the sensor. * Ensure to reconnect the blue wire. * Turn sensitivity and time delay to minimum and allow the sensor to time out. If the lights turn off, the sensor is working properly.

    Why do my LEGRAND Wattstopper CI-300 Accessories lights not turn on with occupancy and the red LED doesn't flash?
    • S
      Steven MartinezNov 14, 2025
      If the lights do not turn on with occupancy and the red LED does not flash, there could be several reasons: * The circuit breaker may not be turned back on. * There might be an issue with the sensor or power pack wire connections. * There could be no 24V input to the sensor. If 24V is present, consider replacing the sensor. If not, check that high voltage is present to the power pack. * The PIR Sensitivity may not be set to minimum (DIP switch #5 set to on). * There could be no 24VDC at the power pack’s blue wire connection to the sensor while the sensor is activated. If there is no voltage, replace the sensor; if there is voltage, replace the power pack. * There is an overload condition that exists, when this is corrected, the sensor will return to normal operation. * Check...
