Morris 80540 PIR Occupancy/Vacancy Wall Sensor, Single-Pole / 3-Way, 3-Way, White
Description
Product Overview
The Morris 80540 is a white passive infrared (PIR) occupancy/vacancy wall sensor for single‑pole or 3‑way lighting control. It detects motion by sensing differences in infrared energy and supports Auto ON/Auto OFF and Manual ON/Auto OFF (vacancy) modes.
The sensor provides adjustable ambient light‑level sensitivity, an adjustable time delay from 5 seconds to 30 minutes, a 180° coverage pattern, and requires a neutral connection. A decorative wall plate is included.
Key Features
- Passive Infrared (PIR) occupancy/vacancy detection
- Selectable Auto ON/Auto OFF or Manual ON/Auto OFF (vacancy) operation
- 180° coverage pattern; up to 30 ft range when mounted at 4 ft (per product listing)
- Adjustable ambient light‑level sensitivity and time delay (5 seconds to 30 minutes)
- LED indicator for visibility in darkened rooms
- Removable cover with mode and dip‑switch settings
- Includes decorative wall plate
- Rated 800W at 120V and 1200W at 277V; operates on 120–277V

- Listed compatible lamp types: incandescent, electronic‑ballast fluorescent, CFL, magnetic low‑voltage, electronic low‑voltage, and LED
Function and Modes
The 80540 uses a passive infrared sensor to detect motion by sensing differences in infrared energy emitted by people versus the ambient environment. It supports Auto ON/Auto OFF for fully automatic operation and Manual ON/Auto OFF (vacancy) where the occupant turns lights on manually and the sensor turns them off after the set time delay.
- Auto ON/Auto OFF: automatic switching based on detected occupancy.
- Manual ON/Auto OFF (Vacancy): manual ON; automatic OFF after the time delay setting.
Coverage, Range and Timing
The sensor provides a 180° detection pattern suitable for wall mounting. The product listing specifies a range of up to 30 ft when mounted at a 4 ft height. Time delay off is adjustable between 5 seconds and 30 minutes.
- Coverage angle: 180°
- Stated range: up to 30 ft when mounted at 4 ft
- Time delay off: adjustable from 5 seconds to 30 minutes
Electrical Ratings and Load Compatibility
Verify the sensor's voltage and load ratings match your circuit and fixtures. The 80540 is rated for a wide voltage range and the listing identifies several lamp types as compatible.
- Operating voltage: 120–277V
- Load rating: 800W at 120V; 1200W at 277V
- Neutral conductor: required
- Listed compatible lamp types: incandescent; electronic-ballast fluorescent; CFL; magnetic low-voltage; electronic low-voltage; LED
Installation and Controls
The 80540 is installed as a replacement for a standard wall switch. The product listing indicates the removable cover reveals mode and dip-switch settings for sensitivity and timing adjustments, and a decorative wall plate is included.
- Replace existing wall switch and connect line, load, neutral, and ground as applicable
- Removable cover exposes mode selection and dip switches for configuration
- LED indicator for visibility in darkened rooms
- Decorative wall plate included
Recommended Applications
The product listing notes typical indoor uses and mentions California Title 24 compliance.
- Typical uses listed: offices, conference rooms, restrooms, and similar occupied indoor spaces
- Conforms to California Title 24 energy code (per product listing)
Before You Order
Verify that a neutral conductor is available in the switch box and that the sensor's voltage and load ratings match your circuit and fixtures.
- Neutral must be present in the switch box—required for operation.
- Confirm the combined connected load does not exceed the sensor's ratings (800W@120V / 1200W@277V).
- For 3-way installations, ensure the wiring configuration is suitable for a single-pole/3-way sensor replacement.
