Leviton Telcom DOD05-1LW Occupancy Sensor Fan Light Switch

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM DOD05-1LW is an occupancy sensor switch designed to control both fan and light loads in a single unit. Rated at 5 amps and 120 volts with a 1/4 HP motor rating, it automatically switches connected loads on when occupancy is detected and off after the space is vacant. This type of device is commonly installed in residential and light commercial settings by licensed electricians as part of energy management or code-compliance upgrades. The sensor switch combines passive infrared or similar detection technology with load switching in one wall-box device, reducing the need for separate controls.

The DOD05-1LW is suited for interior spaces where simultaneous fan and light control is required, such as bathrooms, utility rooms, laundry areas, and small office spaces. Its 120-volt single-phase rating makes it compatible with standard residential branch circuits. Electricians install this switch as a direct wall-box replacement for conventional toggle switches where automated occupancy-based control is desired. The white finish integrates with standard residential decor plates.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Always turn off and lock out the branch circuit breaker before removing the existing switch and making wiring connections. Verify the existing wiring configuration supports a neutral connection if required by this device before proceeding. Do not exceed the 5-amp or 1/4 HP ratings when connecting fan and light loads.
