Occupancy Sensor Override

[Dquist]

I'm Trying to understand what is required when a plan calls for a Ceiling occupancy sensor override switch. Is the intent only to be able to keep the light off? (i.e for a projector) In that case it is simple enough to have the hot pass through a normal switch. But what about the case of a "forced on?" Is this a requirement of these override switches? Or is it only forced off?

I also have a set of plans which is calling for momentary contact switches. Is this so the area will be able to default back to occupancy sensor control? (Using a normally open MC switch)

Thanks for the help.

My guess is you'd have to talk to the architect or designer that made these requirements to find out what they actually wanted the switching to do.

NO MC switch is a switch that functions like a keyboard button. A combination of clicks and holds tells the controller what to do. handles the rest.
