Optex OVS-01GT Dual Tech Pir Occupancy Sensor

Product Description

The OPTEX OVS-01GT is a dual-technology occupancy sensor combining microwave and ultrasonic detection in a single unit. It is designed for indoor ceiling-mount applications where standard passive infrared sensors may miss occupants due to limited motion or obstructed sightlines. By pairing two independent detection technologies, the OVS-01GT reduces false-off events and improves occupancy accuracy in spaces with subtle movement. Electricians and low-voltage controls technicians are the primary installers of this device in commercial lighting control and building automation systems.

The OVS-01GT is suited for commercial and institutional interior spaces such as offices, conference rooms, restrooms, and corridors where reliable occupancy detection is critical for energy management. The dual-technology approach makes it appropriate for areas where occupants may be seated or minimally active for extended periods, conditions that can defeat single-technology sensors. It falls within the DUAL/MULTI TECH PIRS product category and is sold as an individual unit.

Key Features

• Dual-technology detection combining microwave and ultrasonic sensing for improved occupancy accuracy
• Ceiling-mount form factor suited for commercial interior spaces
• Reduces false-off events in low-motion environments such as seated workspaces
• Single-unit packaging for straightforward replacement or new installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation occupancy sensor for commercial ceiling-mount dual-technology PIR applications. No specific compatible model numbers or system families were identified in the available product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified low-voltage controls technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. Power down the circuit at the breaker before wiring or replacing the sensor. Mount the sensor at the ceiling height and coverage radius recommended in the product manual to achieve the rated detection range. Do not install in outdoor or wet-location environments unless the product is explicitly rated for such use.
