Installing & Adjusting Occupancy Sensors

Installation

The sensors can be installed into basically every type of ceiling: Flush into ceiling tiles (partitioned, suspended), flush into plasterboard (suspended, non-partitioned) or surface-mounted (e.g. concrete ceilings).

1.) Flush mounting into partitioned ceilings (standard)
This is the easiest and quickest installation option. Each sensor comes with a white plastic clip which fits onto the sensor body from behind. It then holds the sensor firmly in place. To accomodate a wide range of ceiling thicknesses, the ring can be placed onto the sensor body in both directions.

2.) Flush mounting in suspended non-partitioned ceilings, e.g. plasterboard ceilings
When you can not reach around to the rear of the sensor in order to slide the plastic holding ring on, instead the sensor can be mounted with an additional ceiling clip ring with two springs (see picture on the right).

3.) Surface mounting
Where flush mounting is impossible, for example in concrete ceilings, the surface mounting housing is the best option.

4.) Flush mounting into concrete ceilings
The sensors can be installed into concrete canisters. Ask us for more details if this option is relevant to you.

Rectangular Observation Area

Do you work in an Oval Office?

Most rooms are rectangular and so the Ceiling Presence Detectors / Occupancy Sensors offer a rectangular observation area. This allows for a flexible adaption to each room and makes the adjustment easy.

full area reduced area

A rectangular mark on the front of the sensor (around the sensor element) indicates orientation of the observation area.

For certain applications you might need to reduce the observation area. For example, the sensor should not pickup when someone walks past in the corridor when your office door is open. To make this very simple for you, the sensor has a pull-out shading ring.

Easy access

All adjustments and changes of the settings (delay time, light level, area) can be made conveniently after the sensor is installed- the controls are on the front of the sensor. No need to take the sensor out of the ceiling.

Plugs

Having sensor and plug separated makes installation more convenient and quicker. The electrical connection is made through WAGO plugs (socket on the rear of the sensor). The electrical wires are connected only to the plug. The plug is not only quick to fit but also provides strain-relief for the wiring to guarantee compliance and safety.

Power Relay

Switching very large loads with the sensors is of course prossible. An external power relay is available with 30A continuous current and 250A max inrush current. With this relay you can easily switch very large lighting circuits, aircons, etc.
