Pass & Seymour CI300 Wattstopper® Low-Profile PIR Ceiling Occupancy Sensor, 24 VDC, 360°

The Pass & Seymour CI300 Wattstopper® Passive Infrared (PIR) Low-Profile Ceiling Mount Occupancy Sensor provides 360° coverage across up to 1200 sq. ft., automatically detecting occupancy to control connected lighting loads. Operating at 24 VDC, this ceiling-mounted sensor works with a BZ-150 Power Pack for automatic or manual-on operation, and its architecturally appealing low-profile housing is designed to blend into finished commercial ceilings while delivering reliable occupancy detection.

Key Features

  • 360° Coverage: Passive infrared detection provides full 360° field of view across up to 1200 sq. ft. of floor area.
  • 24 VDC Operation: Low-voltage 24 VDC design for compatibility with standard occupancy sensor power packs.
  • Walk-Through Mode: Increases energy savings potential by intelligently handling brief occupant pass-through without triggering unnecessary lighting hold times.
  • Automatic or Manual-On Operation: Functions in automatic or manual-on mode when used with a BZ-150 Power Pack, giving facility managers flexible control options.
  • Plug Terminal Wiring: Plug terminal wiring connections allow for quick and easy installation, reducing time on the job site.
  • Low-Profile Appearance: Architecturally appealing low-profile ceiling-mount housing is designed to be unobtrusive in finished spaces.
  • Low-Voltage Switch Input: Accepts low-voltage switch input, enabling manual-on operation where required.

Pass & Seymour CI-300 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Pass & Seymour CI300 ceiling occupancy sensor switch line voltage lighting on its own?
No. The CI300 is a 24 VDC low-voltage sensor, so it can't switch a line voltage load by itself. It needs a power pack to supply the 24 VDC and do the actual switching, and Pass & Seymour pairs it with the BZ-150 Power Pack for automatic or manual-on operation. Budget for at least one power pack per sensor circuit when you price the job.
2) How much floor area will one CI300 ceiling sensor cover?
Up to 1200 square feet with a full 360 degree field of view from the ceiling. That covers a typical open office bay, a conference room, or a common area from a single unit. Passive infrared detection needs line of sight, so tall partitions, soffits or islands in the space will break up the coverage and may mean a second sensor.
3) Do I need a manual-on occupancy sensor for my energy code, and can the CI300 do it?
The CI300 handles both. It accepts a low-voltage switch input, so when it's wired with a BZ-150 Power Pack you can set it up as automatic-on or as manual-on where occupants have to press a switch to bring lights up and the sensor only handles the off. Manual-on is the mode most jurisdictions want in offices and conference rooms.
4) What's the difference between the CI300 and a line-voltage wall switch occupancy sensor like the Leviton ODS10-ID?
Two different install approaches. The CI300 mounts on the ceiling, sees 360 degrees over up to 1200 sq ft, and runs on 24 VDC through a power pack. The Leviton ODS10-ID is a commercial grade PIR sensor rated 120/277V AC that goes in the switch box and switches the load directly, with no power pack. Pick the wall switch when you're replacing a single toggle in a private office; pick the CI300 when the switch location can't see the whole room or you're covering an open area.
5) What can I use instead of the Pass & Seymour CI300 if I do not want to run a low-voltage power pack?
The CI300 is a 24 VDC sensor, so it depends on a power pack such as the BZ-150 to switch the lighting load. If you want the sensor to switch line voltage directly, the Leviton ODC Series PIR commercial grade occupancy sensor is a line voltage PIR sensor, and the Leviton ODS10-ID PIR commercial grade sensor operates at 120/277V AC. Those remove the separate power pack from the design; the CI300 keeps the switching hardware above the ceiling and runs only low voltage to the sensor.
6) How much room do I need above the ceiling tile for the CI300?
The housing is 4.5 x 4.5 inches with a 1.02 inch depth, so it sits close to the ceiling plane, which is the point of the low-profile design in a finished commercial space. Plan your plenum space for the low-voltage whip and any slack, not for the sensor body itself.
7) Will a ceiling PIR sensor keep cycling lights in a corridor where people just walk through?
The CI300 has a walk-through mode for exactly that. Instead of holding the lights on a full time-out every time someone passes through, it handles brief pass-through occupancy on a shorter hold, which is where most of the wasted runtime in corridors and small offices comes from.
8) I need more than 1200 square feet of coverage from one sensor - what else do you carry?
The CI300 tops out at 1200 sq ft. For a larger single-sensor footprint, the Leviton ODS10-ID-E is a PIR commercial grade sensor rated to 2100 sq ft at 120/277V in black. Note that it's a line voltage device rather than a 24 VDC low-voltage sensor, so the wiring approach changes: it switches the load directly instead of running back through a power pack.
9) Can I run more than one CI300 on the same lighting zone?
Yes. Because the CI300 is a 24 VDC low-voltage sensor that reports back to a power pack rather than switching the load itself, multiple sensors can feed the same control point to cover an irregular room or a large open office. The power pack does the switching; the sensors just report occupancy.
10) Is the CI300 a good choice for a restroom or a space where people sit still at a desk?
Be careful here. The CI300 detects on passive infrared, which reads motion and heat signature in its line of sight. It will not see an occupant behind a stall partition or a cubicle wall, and a very still occupant can drop out. For those spaces you want sensors sited so the whole occupied area is in view, or a technology that doesn't depend on line of sight. The Leviton ODS15-IDW is a self-adaptive PIR commercial grade sensor if you want the sensitivity to tune itself to the room.
11) Is the Leviton ODS15-IDW a direct replacement for the CI300?
Not a drop-in. Both are commercial PIR occupancy sensors, but the ODS15-IDW is a self-adaptive PIR commercial grade sensor, while the Pass & Seymour CI300 is a low-profile ceiling mount head running on 24 VDC with plug terminal wiring and a separate power pack doing the switching. If you are replacing a CI300 that is already wired low voltage back to a power pack, stay with a 24 VDC ceiling sensor rather than swapping in a line voltage device.
12) How do the wiring connections land on the CI300 - screw terminals or plug?
Plug terminal connections, which is why these go in fast on a retrofit. The electrician lands the low-voltage run once and the sensor plugs in, so there's no terminal screw work up on the ladder. Handy when you're standardizing a floor of offices and swapping many units in one shift.
13) Is the CI300 the same thing as a Wattstopper sensor?
It is. The CI300 is sold under the Pass & Seymour line and carries the Wattstopper branding, since both are Legrand lighting control lines. Order it as Pass & Seymour part number CI-300.
