No neutral required—this occupancy sensor switch eliminates the need for a dedicated neutral conductor during installation, reducing wiring complexity and material costs. This translates into faster, cheaper retrofits and fewer field wiring issues on older fixtures. In practice, it makes it ideal for offices, lobbies, and classrooms where neutrals are absent or hard to access. Equipped for 120 V operation, the OS306U-BK supports both single-pole and three-way configurations, enabling flexible control of lighting across corridors, conference rooms, and multi-branch spaces. The business impact is broader compatibility with existing wiring layouts, reducing the need for panel rewiring and enabling seamless integration into retrofit projects. The 450 sq ft sensing range ensures reliable occupancy detection in typical mid-size rooms and zones, delivering consistent on-off behavior without false triggers. The application benefit is improved energy efficiency and user comfort in spaces such as classrooms, open offices, and break rooms, where occupants enter and exit frequently. Broad load compatibility—supporting ELV, CFL, HAL, FLR, INC, MLV, LED—reduces replacement risk and simplifies procurement. This means you can deploy in mixed-load environments like conference centers with LED fixtures and assorted ballast types, lowering total cost of ownership. Flush mounting and wire leads offer clean installation and secure wiring in standard wall boxes, while the maintained closure (on) behavior ensures immediate illumination in occupied spaces. Certifications NOM cULus Listed provide regulatory confidence on job sites across regions, supporting compliant procurement and installation.

FAQs

OS306U-BK is designed for no-neutral operation and uses wire leads for simple retrofit installations. To install, connect the line and load leads per the wiring diagram, secure the sensor in the flush-mount box, and verify the 120 V supply. This reduces wiring work and eliminates the need to pull a neutral from the circuit, speeding up retrofits in existing spaces.
The switch supports a wide range of loads, including INC, LED, CFL, HAL, ELV, MLV, and FLR, with a maximum 600 W rating at 120 V. This broad compatibility minimizes replacement risk when upgrading mixed lighting in offices, classrooms, or retail spaces, and simplifies procurement by covering common ballast and lamp types.
Yes. The OS306U-BK supports single-pole and three-way configurations, enabling flexible control across long corridors, large rooms, or multi-tenant spaces. When used in 3-way setups, ensure proper traveler wiring and follow the supplied installation instructions to maintain reliable occupancy sensing and consistent switching behavior.
The device is NOM cULus Listed, providing regulatory compliance coverage for Mexican and North American installations. These certifications give project teams confidence in meeting local electrical codes, reduce risk during audits, and support smoother procurement for multinational facilities or code-driven bidding processes.
The sensor delivers measurable energy savings through automatic lighting control, reducing runtime and waste in occupied spaces. Maintenance needs are lowered due to fewer manual switches and predictable, maintained-on operation. Retrofit projects with no-neutral wiring also shorten installation times, accelerating project delivery and improving total cost of ownership.
