Lutron MS-OPS5M Sensor Switch Details

The Lutron MS-OPS5M is a Maestro occupancy sensing switch that replaces a standard wall switch. It turns lights or fans on and off based on detected motion. Unlike the vacancy-only MS-VPS5M variant, the OPS version lets you choose between automatic and manual switching. All of its settings can be changed right at the device using the front buttons. You do not need any tools, apps, or extra hardware to configure it.

To program the switch, remove the faceplate by pulling it off firmly. Then press and hold the indicated button for about 5 seconds, until the lens begins to flash. The lens flashes once for each setting, always starting at setting 1, with about 3 seconds between flashes. Release the button after the flash count that matches your choice. The setting is saved as soon as you release the button. For example, to select a 30-minute timeout, release the large button after the fifth flash.

The daylight sensing mode adds a learning feature. In this mode, the lights turn on automatically only when there is little natural light in the room. If the switch turns on when the room is already bright enough, or stays off when it is too dark, press the large button within 5 seconds of entering. Over time, these corrections teach the switch your preferred light threshold. The advanced settings menu also includes a full reset to factory defaults.

Wiring depends on what is in the wallbox. A ground connection is required for the switch to work. If a neutral is present, remove the green sleeve and connect the white wire to neutral. If there is no neutral, leave the green sleeve on and connect that wire to ground. This option is meant only for retrofit and replacement installations. If neither a neutral nor a ground is available, consult a licensed electrician. In single-pole installations, cap the blue wire.

For 3-way installations, the sensing switch can go in either location. Before removing the old switch, tag the wire connected to the different-colored screw. Next, modify the existing 3-way switch using the supplied yellow jumper wire and wire connector. To test the wiring, wait 2 minutes after restoring power. If the sensing switch does not turn the load on and off, swap its traveler wires. If the 3-way switch cannot turn the load back on, swap that switch's traveler wires instead.

After power is restored, you can turn the switch on or off by hand during the first 30 seconds. However, it will not control the load automatically for the first 2 minutes. You will hear a click when the switch turns on or off, which is normal. The load might not respond if the 3-way switch is toggled quickly. Use Test Mode, which has a very short timeout, to check the sensor's coverage before you reinstall the wallplate.

To detect motion, the sensor needs a clear line of sight to the people in the room, so nothing should block its view. Hot objects and moving air currents can affect its performance. Do not use it to control receptacles, because this can cause overheating and damage other equipment. Clean the switch only with a soft, damp cloth and never use chemical cleaners. Install it in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.

Lutron's limited warranty covers repair or replacement of units with defects in materials or manufacture for five years from purchase. To use the warranty, return the unit to the place of purchase or mail it postage-paid to Lutron in Coopersburg, PA. The warranty does not cover installation, removal, or reinstallation costs. It also excludes damage from misuse, abuse, or improper wiring, as well as incidental or consequential damages.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can't find the answer you need? Here are some frequently asked questions about the Lutron MS-OPS5M Motion Sensor Switch, and we answer them below.


What is the maximum LED load for the Lutron MS-OPS5M?
The MS-OPS5M supports up to 360 W of LED or CFL lighting at 120 V~. It supports 600 W for incandescent, halogen, or ELV loads and 450 W for MLV loads.

Does the MS-OPS5M require a neutral wire?
No. A ground connection is required, but a neutral is not. If a neutral is present, remove the green sleeve and connect the white wire to neutral. If there is no neutral, connect the green-sleeved wire to ground. This is intended for retrofit and replacement applications only.

What is the default timeout and how can I change it?
The default timeout is 5 minutes. You can also choose Test Mode, 1, 15, or 30 minutes. To change it, press and hold the large button until the lens flashes. Release the button after the flash count that matches the setting you want.

How do I switch between occupancy and vacancy mode?
Use the Sensor Mode setting. Setting 1 is Auto-On/Auto-Off (occupancy, the default). Setting 2 is Manual-On/Auto-Off (vacancy). Setting 3 is Auto-On with daylight sensing and Auto-Off.

How does the daylight sensing mode learn my preferences?
The lights turn on automatically only when natural light is low. If the switch behaves incorrectly, press the large button within 5 seconds of entering the room. Over time, these corrections teach the switch your preferred threshold.

Can I use the MS-OPS5M in a 3-way circuit?
Yes. Only one sensing switch can be used per 3-way or multi-location circuit. For setups with more than two locations, use MA-AS, MSC-AS, MA-AS-277, or MSC-AS-277 accessory switches.

Why doesn't the switch respond right after I restore power?
This is normal. You can operate the switch manually during the first 30 seconds, but it will not control the load automatically for the first 2 minutes.

Can the MS-OPS5M control a fan?
Yes. It is rated for fan loads up to 3 A (1/10 HP) and for combined fan and light loads up to 3 A.

Can I use it to control an outlet?
No. The manual warns against controlling receptacles, because doing so can cause overheating and damage other equipment.

How do I test the sensor's coverage?
Select Test Mode, which uses a timeout of less than 15 seconds. The device leaves Test Mode automatically after 5 minutes or when you press any button.

Why does the switch make a clicking sound?
You will hear a click whenever the device turns the load on or off. This is normal.

What are the operating conditions?
The switch is for indoor use only and works between 32 °F and 104 °F (0 °C and 40 °C). It needs a clear line of sight across the room. Hot objects and moving air can affect its performance.

How many devices can be installed on one branch circuit?
Do not install more than 20 devices at 120 V~ on a single branch circuit.

How do I restore the factory settings?
In the Advanced Settings menu, choose setting 3, Return all settings to default.

What warranty does the MS-OPS5M have?
Lutron offers a five-year limited warranty in the U.S.A., Canada, Puerto Rico, and the Caribbean. It covers defects in materials and manufacture but not installation costs or damage from improper wiring.
