The Lutron MS-Z101-V-BI combines a Maestro 0-10V dimmer with a passive infrared vacancy sensor in a single-gang control. It is the vacancy-only version of the MS-Z101: occupants turn the lights on manually, and the control switches them off automatically after the room has been empty for the selected timeout. That manual-on behavior helps meet energy codes such as California Title 24 that call for vacancy sensing in many spaces.
The dimmer drives LED drivers or fluorescent ballasts that use a standard 0-10V sink control signal, while its internal relay switches line power to the fixtures at 120 to 277V. Lutron XCT sensing is designed to pick up small movements such as typing, reducing false shut-offs. The Biscuit finish matches Lutron Claro and Designer-style wall plates (sold separately).
