Pass & Seymour UT3053 Wattstopper Ceiling Mount Ultrasonic Occupancy Sensor, 24V, 360° Coverage, 2000 Sq Ft

The Pass & Seymour UT3053 is a Wattstopper ceiling mount ultrasonic occupancy sensor engineered for reliable lighting control in commercial spaces. Operating at 24V with 360° detection, this UT-300 Series sensor uses patented ultrasonic diffusion technology to extend coverage across a wider area, supporting a coverage range of 500 to 2,000 sq ft from a single ceiling-mounted unit. It is built for professional installations where accurate occupancy detection and simple maintenance are priorities.

Key Features

  • Coverage Area: Detects occupancy across 500-2,000 sq ft, supporting the sensor's rated 2000 Sq Ft coverage in open ceiling installations.
  • Ultrasonic Diffusion Technology: Patented ultrasonic diffusion spreads detection coverage to a wider area than standard sensors.
  • 360° Detection Pattern: Ceiling mount design provides full 360° coverage for consistent occupancy sensing throughout the space.

Pass & Seymour PAS-UT-305-3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How much floor area will one UT3053 ceiling sensor actually cover?
Coverage runs 500 to 2,000 square feet from a single ceiling-mounted unit, with a 360 degree detection pattern. The patented ultrasonic diffusion spreads coverage wider than a standard sensor, so in an open-ceiling office or classroom one unit can hold a full bay. Partition walls, high racking or hard-ceiling returns break up ultrasonic coverage, so laid-out cubicle farms or L-shaped rooms generally need more than one head.
2) Ultrasonic or PIR for an office occupancy sensor?
Ultrasonic, like the UT3053, senses movement by reflected sound and picks up small motions, which is why it suits offices and classrooms where someone sits still at a desk and partial obstructions block line of sight. PIR needs line of sight to a heat signature and is less prone to false trips from air movement, which makes it the choice for corridors, warehouses and spaces with HVAC turbulence. If you want PIR instead, ZenSupply carries the Lithonia CM-9 as a 12-24V AC/DC low-voltage PIR unit and the Leviton ODS15-IDW as a self-adaptive commercial PIR.
3) Is the UT3053 a self-contained switch, or do I need other parts to complete the job?
It is a sensor head only, not a switching device. Because it runs on 24V, the installation needs low-voltage control gear to power the sensor and switch the lighting load, plus a low-voltage momentary switch if the room requires manual control. Budget the control wiring back to that equipment when you lay out the job.
4) What should I use instead of the UT3053 if the fixtures are wired at line voltage with no low-voltage control system?
The UT3053 runs on 24V and is meant to work with a low-voltage lighting control system and low-voltage momentary switches, so it will not switch a 120V or 277V branch circuit on its own. For a line-voltage installation, the Leviton ODS10-ID is a PIR commercial grade occupancy sensor rated 120/277V AC, and the Leviton ODC Series ODC0S-I1W is a PIR commercial grade line voltage occupancy sensor. Either of those switches the load directly without a low-voltage power pack in the ceiling.
5) What is the closest low-voltage alternative to the Pass & Seymour UT3053 ceiling occupancy sensor?
The Lithonia Lighting CM-9 is the nearest low-voltage counterpart. It is a PIR low voltage occupancy sensor switch rated 12-24V AC/DC in white, so it shares the low-voltage control approach of the UT3053, which operates at 24V. The difference is the detection technology: the UT3053 uses ultrasonic diffusion for 360 degree ceiling coverage, while the CM-9 is passive infrared and requires line of sight to the occupant. In partitioned offices or restrooms where motion is often blocked, ultrasonic generally picks up occupants PIR can miss; in spaces with air movement or vibration, PIR is less prone to false triggers.
6) I need an occupancy sensor with a relay for HVAC or building automation - how does that compare to the UT3053?
The UT3053 is available with an isolated relay for integration with building automation systems or HVAC controls, so it can drive a BAS input alongside lighting. If you prefer a PIR device with the relay built into the model designation, the Lithonia Lighting CMR-9 is a PIR occupancy sensor with relay in white. The UT3053 brings ultrasonic 360 degree ceiling detection across 500 to 2,000 sq ft; the CMR-9 is infrared. For a large open zone where one head has to cover the whole area, the ultrasonic unit is the one that was built for that footprint.
7) Can occupants still switch the lights on and off manually with the UT3053 installed?
Yes. UT-300 Series sensors work with low-voltage momentary switches, so you can add a wall station for manual on/off or override while the sensor handles automatic detection and timeout.
8) Can this sensor also signal our building automation system or HVAC?
The UT-300 Series is available with an isolated relay for building automation or HVAC integration, which lets the occupancy signal drive a BAS input or setback command separately from the lighting load. Specify the isolated-relay version if that second contact is part of the sequence of operations. Among low-voltage alternatives, the Lithonia CMR-9 is a PIR sensor supplied with a relay.
9) How does the UT3053 mount in a suspended ceiling, and can we adjust it after install?
It uses a clip mounting system for ceiling tile installation, so it drops into a lay-in grid ceiling without a separate box or trim ring. Sensitivity and time delay are set with onboard DIP switches, and the built-in LED shows when the sensor is seeing occupancy, so a tech can walk-test and tune the room from the ladder in one trip.
10) What is a comparable sensor if my space has around 2,000 square feet but no low-voltage control system?
The Leviton ODS10-ID-E is a commercial grade PIR sensor rated for 2,100 square feet at 120/277V, so it covers similar area without the 24V infrastructure the UT3053 requires. Note it is PIR rather than ultrasonic, so it needs line of sight to occupants.
11) Is there a comparable sensor that covers roughly the same square footage as the UT3053?
The UT3053 is rated for 500 to 2,000 sq ft from a single ceiling-mounted unit. The Leviton ODS10-ID-E is the closest peer on footprint, listed at 2,100 sq ft and rated 120/277V in black. Two things separate them: the Leviton is line voltage where the UT3053 is 24V low voltage, and the Leviton is PIR where the UT3053 is ultrasonic with a 360 degree ceiling pattern. Match on voltage architecture first, then on coverage.
12) The UT3053 needs DIP switch adjustment in the field - is there a sensor that sets its own sensitivity instead?
Yes. The UT3053 uses DIP switch settings for sensitivity and timing, which gives the installer direct control but means someone has to commission each head. The Leviton ODS15-IDW is a PIR self-adaptive commercial grade occupancy sensor, so it adjusts to the space rather than relying on manual switch positions. Note that it is a PIR device and not an ultrasonic one, so sightline to the occupant still matters in a partitioned room.
13) Are the Leviton ODS and Lithonia CM sensors direct drop-in replacements for a UT3053 already in the ceiling?
No. The UT3053 is a 24V ceiling unit in the UT-300 Series that installs with a clip mounting system into ceiling tile and ties into a low-voltage control system. The Leviton ODS10-ID at 120/277V AC and the ODC Series ODC0S-I1W line voltage sensor are wired on the line side, so swapping one in means rewiring the control path. The Lithonia CM-9 at 12-24V AC/DC matches the low-voltage side but is a PIR switch, so detection behavior in the room will not be identical to the ultrasonic UT3053. For a like-for-like swap in an existing UT-300 zone, stay with the UT3053.
14) For a standardized commercial office or classroom rollout, how do the UT3053 and the Leviton commercial sensors line up?
All three Leviton options - the ODC0S-I1W, ODS10-ID, and ODS15-IDW - are commercial grade PIR sensors, which suits spec work in offices and classrooms. The Pass & Seymour UT3053 is built for the same commercial ceiling-mounted lighting control, office and classroom occupancy sensing, and open-plan coverage zones, but does it with 360 degree ultrasonic detection on 24V. Facilities standardizing on a low-voltage control backbone with BAS and HVAC integration will find the UT3053 fits that architecture; facilities running sensors on the line side will standardize more easily on the Leviton commercial grade units.
