Enerlites DWOS-3R 180 Degree Occ and Vac Motion Sensor Switch
Product Information
Specifications
- Model: DWOS-3R
- Type: Occupancy / Vacancy (2-in-1) Single Pole/3-Way Sensor Switch
- Installation: Indoor use only
- Wiring : Use copper wires only
- Detection Range: Max. 20′ on the sides, Max. 30′ from front
Description
- The DWOS-3R is a sensor switch that uses an advanced passive infrared sensor to detect heat-emitted motion. It can be used by itself for 2-way control (one switch & one load) or with one 3-way switch for 3 way control (two switches & one load). The switch can turn on a load and keep it on as long as it detects motion. It will automatically shut off the load at the end of the selected time delay. The countdown of the selected time delay starts after the last motion detected. The sensor is customizable with dials that can adjust Time Delay, Detection Range, Ambient Light Level, and a switch to change between Occupancy/Vacancy modes.
Installation Instructions
- Turn the POWER OFF at the circuit breaker before installing the sensor.
- Read and understand these instructions before installing.
- This device is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and local regulations.
- It is recommended that a qualified electrician performs this installation.
- Make sure to turn off the circuit breaker or fuse(s) and make sure power is off before wiring the device. Use copper wires only.
Follow the wiring diagram provided:
Adjustment
The control panel cover is also the push button on the switch. To access the adjustment dials, remove the push-button cover plate by prying from the bottom of the push-button and pulling outward.
- Time dial: This dial adjusts the time delay.
- Default position: 15 Seconds (Test mode). Adjustable: from 15 Seconds to 30 Minutes (clockwise).
- Range dial: This dial adjusts the detection range.
- Default position : Center at 65%. Adjustable: 30% (Position 1) to 100% (Position 4). Note: Use the greater setting for larger coverage area.
- Light dial: The sensor may be adjusted to operate at the desired level of ambient light.
Make sure the sensor is installed at a height of 4′ – 5′ (Figure 1).
Operation
The sensor switch operates in three modes: OFF, Occupancy, and Vacancy.
- OFF: In this mode, the circuit is permanently opened and the load remains off.
- Occupancy: In this mode, the switch is in automatic on/off operation after a set time delay. The load turns on automatically when motion is detected and turns off after the selected time delay. The load can also be manually toggled on/off using the push button.
- Vacancy: In this mode, the switch is in manual on operation only. The load turns on manually using the push button and turns off automatically after the selected time delay.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with the sensor switch, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:
- If the load does not turn on and the LED does not flash regardless of motion, push the Manual On/Off Button and verify that the Range dial is set to high.
- Check the wiring connections and ensure that the NEUTRAL wire is present.
- If the switch is in Vacancy mode and you desire automatic ON, select the OCC position on the Mode Switch.
FAQ
-
Q: Can I use this sensor switch for outdoor applications?
A: No, the DWOS-3R is designed for indoor use only. -
Q: What is the maximum detection range of the sensor?

DESCRIPTION
- The DWOS-3R uses advanced passive infrared sensor to detect heat emitted motion. The sensor switch can turn on a load and keep it on as long as it detects motion. The sensor will automatically shut off the load at the end of the selected time delay. The countdown of the selected time delay starts after the last motion detected. The sensor is customizable with dials that can adjust Time Delay, detection Range, ambient Light Level, and a switch to change between Occupancy/ Vacancy modes.
COVERAGE
- As illustrated in Figure 1, The DWOS-3R has a 180° detection range with a maximum distance of 30’ detection in front of the sensor and 20′ on the sides. For maximum results, the sensor must be properly installed between the height of 4’ to 5’ and away from obstructions such as walls, furniture and transparent barriers like Low-E glass.
WARNING
Turn the POWER OFF at the circuit breaker before installing the sensor
- Read and understand these instructions before installing. This device is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and local regulations. It is recommended that a qualified electrician performs this installation. Make sure to turn off the circuit breaker or fuse(s) and make sure power is off before wiring the device.
Use copper wires only.
WIRING DIRECTIONS
- The Sensor Switch is used by itself for 2-way control (one switch & one load), with one 3-way switch for 3-way control (two switches & one load). Like you find at the top and bottom of a stairway.

Note: Use the greater setting for larger coverage area. -
Light dial The sensor may be adjusted to operate at the desired level of ambient light.
-
To do so, turn the dial to point the arrow toward the “-”sign for sensor to detect motion and operate during low light or no light. Point the arrow toward the “+”sign for sensor to operate when there’s more light in the area or even during daylight.

OPERATION
Off/ Occupancy/ Vacancy Mode Switch
-
The OFF position: Switch is turned off and will not detect motion. The push button will not function.
-
Occupancy position: The load will automatically turn on when motion is detected and automatically turn off when the selected time delay has expired. The push button may be used to manually turn ON/OFF the load and time delay will also take effect.
-
Vacancy position: The load will turn on ONLY when the push button is used and automatically turn off when the selected time delay has expired. The push button may be used to manually turn ON/OFF the load and time delay will also take effect. If the time delay has expired and the load turns off, the load will turn on again automatically if motion is detected within 30 seconds.
TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE: There is a 1 minute warm-up time at initial power-up. The load may
turn on/off several times.
The Load does not turn On. LED does not flash regardless of motion:
- Push Manual On/Off Button, if the load turns On; verify that the Range dial is on high.
- Check the wiring connections. Be sure the NEUTRAL wire is present.
- Switch may be in Vacancy mode. Select the OCC position on the Mode Switch if “Auto ON” is what’s desired.
The Load does not turn On when LED indicator flashes and motion is detected:
- Push Manual On/Off Button, if the load turns On; verify that the Range dial is on high.
- Check the wiring connections. Be sure the LOAD wire is connected.
- Switch may be in Vacancy mode. Select the OCC position on the Mode Switch if “Auto ON” is what’s desired.
- Check the Light dial. The pointer indicates the light level the ambient light needs to drop to before the load is automatically turned on.
The Load does not turn Off:
- Motion may be detected. The time delay constantly restarts its countdown after the last motion detected. To verify proper operation, turn the Time Delay Knob to 15s (Test Mode) and make sure there is no motion (no LED flashing). Tape may be used to cover the Fresnel lens while testing.
- Check for significant heat source emitting within six feet (two meters) such as high wattage light bulb, portable heaters or HAVC vents.
- Check the wiring. Make sure the HOT and LOAD wires aren’t reversed.
The Load turns on when its not desired:
- Motion may be detected. The time delay constantly restarts its countdown after the last motion detected. To verify proper operation, turn the Time Delay Knob to 15s (Test Mode) and make sure there is no motion (no LED flashing). Tape may be used to cover the fresnel lens while testing.
- Check for significant heat source emitting within six feet (two meters) such as high wattage light bulb, portable heaters or HAVC vents.
- If Manual operation of push-button is desired, select VAC mode on the Mode Switch.
- If the sensor is installed in a small room, turn the Range dial lower to avoid false or unwanted detection from open window or door.
