Cooper Wiring Devices VS306U-V Vacancy Sensor Wall Switch

Product Description

The COOPER WIRING DEVICES VS306U-V is a passive infrared vacancy sensor wall switch designed for indoor lighting control in commercial and residential applications. It covers up to 450 square feet with a 180-degree detection pattern and requires manual-off operation, meaning lights must be turned on manually and will shut off automatically when the space is vacated. The switch supports a wide range of load types including incandescent, fluorescent, CFL, LED, halogen, electronic and magnetic fluorescent ballasts, and electrical motor loads at 120 volts AC. The ivory finish blends with standard decor trim plates. Licensed electricians handle installation in compliance with applicable electrical codes.

This vacancy sensor switch is suited for offices, conference rooms, private restrooms, storage areas, and similar indoor spaces where occupancy-based shutoff is preferred over fully automatic on-off control. Vacancy-type sensors are required in certain occupancy categories under California Title 24 energy code, making this unit a direct fit for projects requiring that compliance. The manual-on behavior gives occupants deliberate control over when lighting activates while ensuring automatic shutoff eliminates energy waste when a space is left unoccupied.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the NEC and applicable local codes. Shut off circuit power at the breaker panel and verify with a non-contact voltage tester before handling any wiring. This switch replaces a standard single-pole wall switch and fits a single-gang electrical box. Ensure the sensor lens is positioned with an unobstructed line of sight across the coverage area for reliable detection.
