The VS310U‑W‑K is a high‑performance vacancy sensor switch designed to improve energy efficiency, safety, and convenience in both residential and commercial environments. Featuring advanced Passive Infrared (PIR) sensing, a dimmable night light, and compatibility with a wide range of lighting loads, this switch offers smart automation with dependable manual control. Its 600‑watt capacity at 120 volts makes it ideal for modern lighting circuits that require both flexibility and reliability.
Engineered for performance, the device automatically turns lights OFF when vacancy is detected after a user‑selected delay, while the manual‑ON design ensures compliance with energy codes requiring vacancy‑based operation. A built‑in locator LED and crisp push‑pad actuation make the switch user‑friendly and ideal for high‑traffic or low‑visibility environments.
