Leviton Multi-Technology (PIR/Ultrasonic) Commercial Grade Occupancy Sensor
The Leviton Multi-Technology (PIR/Ultrasonic) Commercial Grade Occupancy Sensor combines passive infrared (PIR) and ultrasonic detection technologies into a single sensor engineered for demanding commercial environments. By pairing two independent sensing methods, this Leviton occupancy sensor is designed to deliver more reliable presence detection than single-technology sensors, helping reduce nuisance lighting shut-offs while supporting facility energy-management goals. Built to commercial grade standards, it is intended for use in offices, conference rooms, restrooms, corridors, and other commercial spaces where consistent automatic lighting control is essential to day-to-day operations. Facility managers and electrical contractors specify multi-technology occupancy sensors like this Leviton model specifically to cut down on the false-off complaints that plague simpler, single-sensing-method devices.
Key Features
- Dual-Technology Detection: Combines PIR and Ultrasonic sensing technologies in one device for comprehensive room coverage and improved detection accuracy.
- Commercial Grade Construction: Engineered for the demands of commercial and institutional lighting control applications.
- Reduced False-Off Events: Dual-technology sensing helps minimize the false shut-offs common with single-technology occupancy sensors, particularly in rooms with pockets of minimal motion.
- Energy Management Support: Automatically controls connected lighting based on room occupancy to support facility energy-saving initiatives and sustainability programs.

Leviton OSSMT-GDW – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Leviton OSSMT-GDW occupancy sensor work on both 120V and 277V lighting circuits?
Yes. The OSSMT-GDW is rated 120/277V, so the same part number covers standard 120V branch circuits and the 277V circuits common on commercial lighting panels. That means one SKU can be standardized across an office building without splitting the order by voltage.
2) What is the difference between a PIR-only occupancy sensor and the Leviton multi-technology OSSMT?
A PIR sensor only sees heat moving across its field of view, so it needs line of sight and a decent amount of motion. The Leviton OSSMT-GDW runs passive infrared and ultrasonic together: the PIR side catches direct movement and the ultrasonic side picks up small motion and movement around partitions or stall walls. That combination is why it gets specified in restrooms, private offices and conference rooms where a PIR-only device drops the lights on someone sitting still.
3) Is the Leviton OSSMT-GDW a wall switch sensor or a ceiling mount sensor?
It is a wall-mounted switch-type device. Leviton catalogues the OSSMT-GDW among its switch wiring devices, so it lands in a standard wall box in place of a toggle switch rather than in the ceiling. If the room needs 360 degree coverage from overhead instead, look at a ceiling unit such as the Pass and Seymour Wattstopper DT300 dual technology ceiling sensor.
4) What is the closest dual-technology equivalent to the Leviton OSSMT-GDW occupancy sensor?
The Pass & Seymour DT300 Wattstopper Dual Technology Ceiling Occupancy Sensor is the nearest match on sensing method, since it also pairs two detection technologies in one device rather than relying on PIR alone. The difference is how they are fed and mounted: the Leviton OSSMT-GDW is rated 120/277V, so it takes line voltage directly, while the DT300 is a 24V ceiling sensor with 360 degree coverage and expects a low-voltage power pack between it and the load. If the room already has a low-voltage control layer, the DT300 drops in; if you are wiring a sensor straight to the lighting circuit, stay with the 120/277V Leviton.
5) Is there a simpler single-technology sensor I can use instead of the multi-technology Leviton?
Yes. The Pass & Seymour CI305 Wattstopper is a low-profile ceiling PIR occupancy sensor with 360 degree coverage rated for 1200 square feet, and it uses passive infrared only. That is a reasonable choice in open spaces with clear sightlines and obvious motion, such as corridors or open offices. The Leviton OSSMT-GDW combines PIR and ultrasonic sensing in one device, which is what lets it hold lights on in rooms where occupants sit still or work behind partitions. Rooms with pockets of minimal motion are where the dual-sensing device earns its place.
6) Is this Leviton sensor rated for commercial use or is it a residential device?
Commercial grade. The OSSMT-GDW is built for commercial and institutional lighting control, and it is the class of device facility managers and electrical contractors specify for offices, corridors, restrooms and warehouse spaces rather than a residential-grade motion switch.
7) I need 360 degree coverage in an open area. Is the Leviton OSSMT-GDW the right sensor?
For open floor areas covered from overhead, a ceiling sensor is the better fit. The OSSMT-GDW is a wall switch device, so its coverage works from one wall outward. ZenSupply carries ceiling alternatives with stated 360 degree patterns: the Pass and Seymour Wattstopper CI305 low-profile PIR covers 1200 sq ft, and the UT3053 ultrasonic ceiling unit covers 2000 sq ft at 24V.
8) For a large open area, what covers more square footage than the Leviton OSSMT-GDW?
The Pass & Seymour UT3053 Wattstopper is a ceiling-mount ultrasonic occupancy sensor with 360 degree coverage rated to 2000 square feet on 24V, which is the largest published coverage among the comparable ceiling sensors. It senses ultrasonically only, so it reads air movement and minor motion well but does not carry the infrared half of the pair. The Leviton OSSMT-GDW is a 120/277V commercial grade device using both PIR and ultrasonic. For a warehouse bay or large open floor on a low-voltage control layer, the UT3053 gives you the larger single-device footprint; for line-voltage rooms where you want both sensing methods voting, use the Leviton.
9) Will the Pass & Seymour UT3053 work as a direct swap for the Leviton OSSMT-GDW?
Not as a direct swap. Two things differ. First, sensing: the UT3053 Wattstopper is ultrasonic only, while the Leviton OSSMT-GDW is a multi-technology PIR/ultrasonic device, so the detection behavior in a room with partitions or restroom stalls will not be identical. Second, power: the UT3053 is a 24V ceiling sensor, and the Leviton is rated 120/277V. Swapping one for the other means changing the wiring approach, not just the device. If you are standardizing a facility on one sensor, decide the voltage architecture first and then pick the sensing technology.
10) My spec sheet calls for a white commercial grade occupancy sensor. Which of these meets that?
The Leviton OSSMT-GDW is the one carrying a published white product color and a commercial grade rating, on a 120/277V device. The comparable Pass & Seymour Wattstopper units - the DT300 dual technology, the CI305 PIR, and the UT3053 ultrasonic - are all ceiling-mount sensors identified by series and coverage rather than by a stated color and grade. If the submittal is being reviewed against a commercial grade line item in white, the Leviton OSSMT-GDW is the straightforward answer.
11) What color is the Leviton OSSMT-GDW sensor, and will it match the rest of my white devices?
White. The GDW suffix on the OSSMT part number is the white finish, so it matches white receptacles, switches and wallplates already installed on the job.
12) Can I use the Leviton OSSMT-GDW on a retrofit, or is it only for new construction?
Both. Leviton positions this sensor for retrofit lighting control work as well as new commercial construction, which is the usual case where an existing switch box is reused for automatic control on an energy-management upgrade.
13) What is the manufacturer part number for the Leviton multi-technology occupancy sensor in white?
OSSMT-GDW. That is the single model on this Leviton multi-technology (PIR/ultrasonic) commercial sensor, white, rated 120/277V.
