Leviton OSC10-U0W Ultrasonic Occupancy Sensor, White
The Leviton OSC10-U0W is an ultrasonic occupancy sensor from the OSC10 series, engineered to automatically detect occupant motion within a space and control connected lighting or equipment accordingly. Finished in white to blend seamlessly with standard ceiling and wall installations, this sensor relies on ultrasonic detection technology—sound-wave based sensing that is highly effective at picking up subtle motion, including movement behind obstructions and around corners where line-of-sight technologies may fall short. As part of Leviton’s occupancy sensing lineup, the OSC10-U0W is built for electricians, facility managers, and energy-conscious building owners who need dependable automatic lighting control for commercial or residential spaces.
Key Features
- Ultrasonic Detection Technology: Uses sound-wave sensing to detect occupant movement throughout a monitored space, including areas obstructed from direct line-of-sight.
- OSC10 Series Design: Part of Leviton’s established OSC10 occupancy sensor platform, built for reliable automatic control of connected lighting circuits.
- Finish: White housing designed to blend with common ceiling and wall finishes for a clean, unobtrusive installation.
- Automatic Occupancy Control: Helps reduce energy waste by activating connected loads only when occupancy is detected, supporting energy-management initiatives.
- Leviton Build Quality: Manufactured by Leviton, a recognized supplier of electrical control devices for commercial and residential applications.

Leviton OSC10-U0W – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the difference between an ultrasonic occupancy sensor like the Leviton OSC10-U0W and a PIR sensor?
Ultrasonic sensing, which is what the OSC10-U0W uses, works off sound waves, so it picks up motion that isn't in direct line of sight, including movement behind partitions or around a corner. PIR sensors read body heat moving across their field of view and need a clear sightline to the occupant. For an open office or corridor where you can see the whole floor, a PIR head like the Pass & Seymour CI305 ceiling sensor is the simpler choice. For restrooms with stalls, L-shaped rooms, or spaces broken up by cubicle walls, ultrasonic is the technology that catches the small motion PIR misses.
2) What else does ZenSupply carry if I need an ultrasonic occupancy sensor with a stated coverage area?
If the spec sheet on your drawing calls out a coverage number, the Pass & Seymour UT3053 Wattstopper ceiling mount ultrasonic sensor is the alternative to look at: it's listed as 24V, 360 degree coverage, 2000 sq ft. For spaces where you want both technologies working together before the lights switch, the Pass & Seymour DT300 Wattstopper dual technology ceiling sensor is a 24V, 360 degree head. Both of those are low-voltage ceiling sensors that pair with a power pack, which is a different install approach than a line-voltage wall device.
3) What is the closest ultrasonic equivalent to the Leviton OSC10-U0W from another brand?
The Pass & Seymour UT3053 Wattstopper ceiling mount sensor is the nearest ultrasonic counterpart. Like the OSC10-U0W, it uses ultrasonic detection, and it is specified as a 24V ceiling mount unit with 360 degree coverage rated to 2000 square feet in the UT-300 series. The Leviton OSC10-U0W is an ultrasonic occupancy sensor in the OSC10 series finished in white. If your drawing calls for ultrasonic sensing rather than infrared, both devices sense by sound wave rather than line of sight.
4) Is a PIR ceiling sensor like the Wattstopper CI305 interchangeable with an ultrasonic sensor?
They are not sensing the same way, so treat them as different specifications. The Pass & Seymour CI305 is a low-profile ceiling PIR sensor with 360 degree coverage rated to 1200 square feet, meaning it detects heat and motion in its line of sight. The Leviton OSC10-U0W uses ultrasonic detection, which responds to sound-wave reflections and can pick up motion behind partial obstructions and around corners. For restrooms with stalls or spaces with partition furniture, ultrasonic is the technology usually specified; for open rooms with clear sightlines, PIR is commonly used.
5) I need a sensor mounted at the switch box, not on the ceiling. What is the alternative?
The Pass & Seymour PW-302 Wattstopper is a PIR dual-relay wall occupancy sensor, so it mounts at the wall position and switches two separate loads. That suits a retrofit where you are replacing an existing wall switch and want to control lighting and a fan or a second circuit independently. The Leviton OSC10-U0W is an ultrasonic sensor in the OSC10 series; if your installation point is the ceiling and you need ultrasonic sensing, the OSC10-U0W is the one that matches, and the PW-302 is the choice when the box in the wall is all you have.
6) Can the Leviton OSC10-U0W be used in a retrofit, or is it new construction only?
Both. The OSC10-U0W is used in new construction and in retrofit occupancy sensing work, and it's commonly specified on energy management and lighting efficiency upgrades where existing manual switching is being converted to automatic control.
7) What part number do I order for the white Leviton OSC10 ultrasonic sensor?
Order OSC10-U0W. That is the manufacturer part number for the white ultrasonic unit in Leviton's OSC10 occupancy sensor series, and it is the single configuration offered under that number.
8) What rooms is an ultrasonic occupancy sensor best suited for?
Offices, conference rooms, and common areas are the typical placements for the OSC10-U0W, plus residential rooms where hands-free lighting is wanted. The reason to reach for ultrasonic in those spaces is partitioning: conference room furniture, cubicle walls, and seated occupants with minimal movement are exactly the conditions where sound-wave sensing holds the lights on and a line-of-sight sensor can drop them.
9) I need to switch two separate lighting circuits from one sensor. Is this the right device?
A single-relay occupancy sensor controls one load, so if you need two independently switched circuits, for example general lighting on one relay and HVAC or a second row of fixtures on the other, look at a dual-relay device such as the Pass & Seymour PW-302 Wattstopper PIR dual-relay wall sensor. Note that one is PIR, so it wants a clear line of sight to the occupant.
10) If I want both infrared and ultrasonic sensing in one device instead of ultrasonic alone, what should I use?
Look at the Pass & Seymour DT300 Wattstopper, a dual technology ceiling occupancy sensor specified at 24V with 360 degree coverage. Dual technology units combine passive infrared with ultrasonic sensing in one housing. The Leviton OSC10-U0W is ultrasonic only. Institutional buyers standardizing on a single sensor type across conference rooms and open offices often specify dual technology to reduce false triggers, while ultrasonic-only units like the OSC10-U0W remain common where sensitivity to small motion is the priority.
11) What distinguishes the Leviton OSC10-U0W from the Wattstopper UT3053 if both are ultrasonic?
Brand platform and the published coverage figure are the separators. The Pass & Seymour UT3053 is in the UT-300 series and is specified as 24V, 360 degree, 2000 square feet ceiling mount. The Leviton OSC10-U0W is in the OSC10 series, ultrasonic, with a white housing. If a facility is already standardized on Leviton wiring devices and you want the sensor finish to match existing white plates and controls, the OSC10-U0W keeps that consistent; if the specification sheet names a Wattstopper coverage area, the UT3053 is the item carrying that number.
12) Will a white occupancy sensor look right on a standard ceiling or wall?
The OSC10-U0W is finished in white, which is the stock color for commercial ceiling tile and for standard white wall plates, so it disappears into most installations without needing a paint or trim match. If you're standardizing a building, white keeps the sensor heads consistent with the rest of the white wiring devices already in place.
