Feature → Business Impact → Application: No neutral required enables installation in circuits without neutrals, reducing wiring complexity, material costs, and field modifications. This translates to quicker commissioning and fewer schedule vulnerabilities on retrofit projects in offices, classrooms, and corridors. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 600 W load capacity with broad load type support (LED, CFL, INC, MLV, ELV, FLR, HAL) ensures consistent lighting behavior across lamp types, reducing callbacks and warranty risk in mixed-load environments. Application includes mixed-use commercial spaces and education facilities where reliability matters. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Flush mounting with a light almond finish delivers a discreet aesthetic that aligns with standard architectural finishes while enabling space-efficient installations in ceiling and wall lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 1-pole and 3-way operation over a 450 sq ft range provides flexible control for long corridors, meeting rooms, and shared workspaces, reducing switching complexity and enhancing user experience. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Wire leads and maintained closure support straightforward wiring and reliable, always-on behavior for areas requiring constant monitoring, improving security lighting integration and routine maintenance planning.

FAQs
OS306U-LA installs as a flush-mounted, 120 V occupancy sensor switch with wire leads and no neutral required. For 1-pole operation, connect line and load per the included diagram; for 3-way setups, use compatible companion wiring to enable maintained closure and 450 sq ft sensing. The device supports LED, CFL, and incandescent loads up to 600 W, simplifying retrofit and new installations.
Key performance specifications include a 600 W maximum load, 120 V operation, and a 450 sq ft sensing range. It supports a broad load mix: LED, CFL, incandescent, MLV, ELV, FLR, HAL. With no neutral requirement, it reduces wiring complexity and lowers material costs, while the 1-pole/three-way configuration options provide flexible control in offices, corridors, and classrooms.
Yes, OS306U-LA is suitable for commercial spaces needing convenient occupancy-based control. Its flush-mount profile and light almond finish fit standard architectural aesthetics. The product is rated for 120 V single-phase circuits, supports both 1-pole and 3-way applications, and covers about 450 square feet per sensor, making it a practical choice for hallways, meeting rooms, and educational facilities.
Certification-wise, OS306U-LA carries NOM and cULus Listed markings, indicating compliance with North American electrical safety standards. These certifications support installation in regulated environments and help meet code requirements during inspections. The no-neutral design also minimizes wiring changes required to achieve code-compliant occupancy control in legacy circuits.
From a ROI perspective, deploying OS306U-LA can reduce energy consumption with occupancy-based lighting control, shorten installation timelines due to no-neutral wiring, and lower ongoing maintenance by using a robust, widespread load compatibility. Its 1-pole and 3-way versatility also reduces inventory needs for multi-purpose spaces, delivering faster payback in facilities portfolios.
