Coopersburg, PA – Lutron Electronics, the leader in energy-saving, wireless lighting and shade control, announces new 0-10V Dimmer Sensors for control of Electronic 0-10V LED drivers or fluorescent ballasts. The new dimmer sensor use Lutron’s XCT™ passive infrared (PIR) sensing technology to ensure enhanced response to even fine motion like turning a page in a book. The combination of 0-10V dimming and occupancy sensing provides a simplified solution that meets energy codes while offering an optimized dimming experience for each occupant.

Lutron’s growing family of Maestro occupancy sensors now includes a model with 0-10V dimming and XCT PIR sensing, in one cost-effective device. Electricians can easily install 0-10V Dimmer Sensors in commercial applications such as private offices, conference rooms, training rooms, hospitality spaces and smaller break rooms, in a fraction of the time it would take to install multiple-component solutions.

The new Maestro 0-10V Dimmer Sensors use smart, adaptive settings to provide reliable sensing and optimized dimming performance. Installation is a snap with miswire alerts, no neutral required, and adjustable settings.

Benefits of the Maestro 0-10V Dimmer Sensors include:

Reliable detection of fine motion, ensuring lights stay on when the room is occupied with Lutron’s advanced XCT technology

Smart ambient light detection, which automatically learns the user’s preferred light level in the space, turning the lights on only when sufficient daylight is not available

Optimized dimming performance with selectable dimming curve, and smooth fade-to-on and fade-to-off

Works right out of the box, easy to adjust settings with no dip switches or dials

Simplified installation – Lens flash alerts contractors of miswire or incompatible load type.

·Long lasting with a tamper resistant lens and extended relay lifetime

·Saves energy with occupancy/vacancy sensing technologies

By installing Maestro 0-10V Dimmer Sensors, customers can control the widely available 0-10V LED or fluorescent fixtures, while providing reliable sensing for energy savings.

“Lutron is continually looking for ways to provide our customers with high quality products,” said Brian Donlon, Vice-President of Sales, USA, at Lutron. “The 0-10V Dimmer Sensor is an ideal, affordable solution for commercial applications that simplifies the number of components needed in small spaces, while still providing superior dimming and sensing performance that you can expect from Lutron.”

The Maestro 0-10V Dimmer Sensor will be available in November, in 27 colors, and is priced at $110 list price.
