Leviton Telcom MDS10-IDT Pir Occupancy Sensor Wall Switch

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM MDS10-IDT is a passive infrared (PIR) occupancy sensor wall switch designed to detect occupant presence and automatically control connected lighting or low-voltage loads. PIR technology reads heat signatures from moving occupants, triggering the switch to turn on when motion is detected and off after a set vacancy period. This type of device is a standard component in energy-management installations across commercial and residential applications. Electricians and low-voltage technicians are the primary installers of wall-switch occupancy sensors of this class.

The MDS10-IDT is suited for wall-switch replacement scenarios where an existing manual switch is being upgraded to automatic occupancy-based control. Typical install locations include private offices, conference rooms, restrooms, storage rooms, and corridors where lighting should respond to occupant presence rather than manual operation. The unit is sold individually and is classified under hardware and accessories within the low-voltage and controls category.

Key Features

• Passive infrared detection for reliable motion-based occupancy sensing
• Wall-switch form factor allows direct replacement of standard single-gang switches
• Automatic on and off operation reduces energy consumption in unoccupied spaces
• Sold as an individual unit for single-location installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade for standard single-gang wall-switch installations where passive infrared occupancy control is required. No specific compatible model numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for occupancy sensor devices. Power to the circuit must be shut off at the breaker panel and verified dead with a meter before removing the existing wall switch or making any wire connections. The sensor must be positioned to provide an unobstructed field of view across the monitored space for accurate detection. Follow the manufacturer wiring diagram for load, line, and neutral connections as applicable to this device.
