WattStopper W-500A – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the WattStopper W-500A occupancy sensor need a power pack to switch line voltage lighting?
Yes. The W-500A is a 24VDC low voltage sensor, so it does not switch line voltage on its own. It works with the BZ-150 power pack, which supplies the 24VDC to the sensor and does the actual switching of the lighting circuit. Budget for at least one power pack per circuit when you spec the job, plus the low voltage run from the ceiling location back to it.
2) How big a room will one WattStopper W-500A ultrasonic sensor cover?
Coverage is 500 square feet, which puts it in the range of a conference room, a restroom, or a bay of an open office. Larger rooms need more than one sensor wired to the same power pack, and rooms broken up by partitions or hard corners will need the layout checked, since ultrasonic detection works off sound wave disturbance filling the space rather than line of sight to a warm body.
3) Can I stop the lights dropping out on people in a conference room with the W-500A?
The time delay is adjustable from 15 seconds up to 15 minutes. For a conference room, run it toward the long end so seated attendees in a presentation do not get dropped; restrooms and store rooms are usually set short to bank the energy. The sensor also carries Advanced Signal Processing circuitry that adjusts the detection threshold automatically, which is what cuts down on false trips from background noise.
4) Is the W-500A a wall switch sensor or does it mount in the ceiling?
Ceiling mount. The W-500A drops into the ceiling and covers the room from above, which is how it reaches 500 square feet and sees past furniture and partitions. If you are replacing a wall toggle switch and have no ceiling access or low voltage run, this is not the part, you want a wall switch occupancy sensor that fits the existing single gang box and switches line voltage directly.
5) Should I use an ultrasonic sensor like the W-500A or a passive infrared one?
Ultrasonic is the right pick where occupants make small movements or sit out of direct view, which is why the W-500A suits restrooms with stall partitions, private offices, and open office areas. It senses disturbance in the sound field rather than needing a clear sightline, so obstructions matter less. Passive infrared is the better choice in spaces with air movement or vibration that can trip an ultrasonic head, such as rooms with strong HVAC diffusers or open warehouse areas where you want tight coverage boundaries.
6) What part number do I order for the WattStopper 500 sq ft ultrasonic ceiling sensor?
The manufacturer part number is W-500A. It is the only model in the family at this coverage and voltage, so there is no finish, color, or voltage option to specify on the order. The power pack is ordered separately.
7) Where is the WattStopper W-500A sensor made?
Country of origin on the W-500A is China. That matters on public work where a Buy American or domestic preference clause applies to the electrical package, so check it against your specification before you submit the sensor on a government or federally funded project.
