Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SENSOR SWITCH from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between the Sensor Switch MP20, PP20, and SP20 power packs?
The Sensor Switch MP20 and SP20 accept 120/240/277V AC input and provide 15V DC output. The PP20 accepts 120V AC input and provides 15V DC output. All three are hard-wired power and relay control units designed to supply low-voltage sensors and provide hard-wired communication in commercial lighting control systems. The MP20 and SP20 are suitable for multi-voltage applications, while the PP20 is limited to 120V AC systems. Selection depends on the available supply voltage and the requirements of the connected sensors.
Do Sensor Switch wall-mount occupancy sensors require a neutral wire?
It depends on the model. The Sensor Switch WSXA WH requires a neutral wire for installation. The WSX 2P NL WH, WSX 2P WH, and WSX PDT WH do not require a neutral wire. All four operate on 120 to 277V AC and are rated for fluorescent, incandescent, and LED loads up to 800W. The WSX 2P NL WH includes a nightlight feature; the others do not. Confirm wiring availability before selecting a model.
What detection technology does the Sensor Switch CM PDT 9 WR use?
The Sensor Switch CM PDT 9 WR is a ceiling-mount occupancy sensor that uses passive infrared (PIR) and microphonic detection. It operates on 12 to 24V DC. This dual-technology approach is intended for automatic lighting control in commercial spaces. The sensor requires a compatible low-voltage power pack, such as a Sensor Switch MP20, PP20, or SP20, to interface with the lighting circuit. Verify power pack compatibility and coverage area before installation.
Can Sensor Switch occupancy sensors control LED lighting loads?
Yes. Many Sensor Switch occupancy sensors, including the WSXA WH, WSX 2P NL WH, WSX 2P WH, and WSX PDT WH, are rated for fluorescent, incandescent, and LED lighting loads. The wall-mount models listed support loads up to 800W at 120 to 277V AC. For LED loads, confirm that the driver inrush current and steady-state current are within the sensor's rating. For low-voltage sensors like the CM PDT 9 WR, the connected power pack or relay unit determines the load capacity.
What is the operating voltage range for Sensor Switch low-voltage sensors?
Low-voltage Sensor Switch sensors, such as the CM PDT 9 WR, operate on 12 to 24V DC. These sensors are typically powered by a separate power pack or relay control unit that converts line voltage to 15V DC. The power pack models MP20, PP20, and SP20 provide 15V DC output from 120/240/277V AC or 120V AC input, depending on the model. Ensure the sensor's voltage requirement matches the power pack output.
Does 3G Electric ship Sensor Switch products internationally?
Yes. 3G Electric supplies Sensor Switch occupancy sensors and power packs globally. The catalog includes 56 SKUs, and orders can be shipped to international destinations.
