The Wattstopper DW-100-24 is a dual-technology low voltage wall switch occupancy sensor designed to automate lighting control based on occupancy detection. It integrates both passive infrared (PIR) and ultrasonic technologies to enhance detection accuracy and minimize false triggers, even in challenging environments.
The primary function of the DW-100-24 is to turn a connected load (typically lights) ON when occupancy is detected and OFF after a set time delay when no motion is sensed. The sensor offers flexible operating modes, allowing the load to be turned ON automatically (Auto ON) or requiring manual activation (Manual ON). In Auto ON mode, the lights turn on automatically upon detecting occupancy and remain on as long as either the PIR or ultrasonic technology detects movement. In Manual ON mode, the occupant must press the ON/OFF button to turn on the load. Once activated, the lights stay on until no motion is detected for the selected time delay.
The device features an ON/OFF button that toggles the state of the connected relay. It also includes an isolated relay that mirrors the sensor's occupancy state but is not affected by the ON/OFF button, providing an independent occupancy signal.
A built-in light level sensor allows the DW-100-24 to prevent lights from turning ON if there is sufficient ambient daylight, even when the area is occupied. This feature can be overridden by pressing the ON/OFF button.
The DW-100-24 offers several customizable features through DIP switch settings and trimpot adjustments:
Operating Modes (Auto ON/Manual ON):
Time Delays: The sensor holds the load ON for a configurable period after the last detected motion. Available fixed time delays are 5, 15 (default), or 30 minutes.
Walk-Through Mode (DIP #3 ON): This mode shortens the time delay to 3 minutes if no motion is detected after the first 30 seconds of initial occupancy. This is useful for brief visits, such as grabbing a forgotten item. If motion continues beyond 30 seconds, the standard set time delay applies. This mode can be disabled (DIP #3 OFF).
PIR Sensitivity Adjustment: The sensor continuously monitors its environment and automatically adjusts PIR sensitivity. Users can also manually set PIR sensitivity to:
Audible Alerts (DIP #7 ON): The unit can provide audible warnings before the load turns OFF. It beeps at 1 minute, 30 seconds, and 10 seconds before turning OFF the load. In Walk-Through mode, it beeps three times at 10 seconds before turning OFF. Audible alerts can be disabled (DIP #7 OFF).
Trigger Mode (DIP Switches 5 & 6): Four options determine how occupancy is triggered and maintained:
Light Level Adjustment: This feature allows the sensor to hold the lights OFF if adequate daylight is present.
Ultrasonic Sensitivity Adjustment: A trimpot located under the ON/OFF buttons allows adjustment of the ultrasonic detection sensitivity.
The PIR sensor features a two-tiered, multi-cell viewing Fresnel lens with a 180-degree field of view. A red LED flashes when PIR motion is detected. Opaque adhesive tape is provided for masking specific sections of the PIR sensor's view to eliminate unwanted coverage. The ultrasonic sensor has two transceivers operating at 40kHz. For optimal performance, the sensor is recommended for spaces not larger than 18' x 15'.
The DW-100-24 is designed to fit behind industry-standard decorator-style wall switch cover plates (not included).
