Deployment
Placement of the room controller must be given
consideration. It is recommended to install the room
controller as close to a door as possible (but not so
as to be blocked by the door), or in an area with high
occupant movement.
Ideally the room controller should be installed 5'
above the floor surface to ensure maximum detection
range is achieved. As well, room controller placement
should ensure the occupant crosses the lens beam in
a perpendicular path within the prescribed detection
zone.
Example of Recommended Deployment
The illustration below shows room controllers installed
in ideal locations for two rooms.
The examination room shows one room controller
installed adjacent to the door. In this area of the room,
occupant traffic is high and ensures the occupant will
almost always cross the PIR detection path laterally
and within the detection range.
The waiting room shows one room controller installed
beside a door in the middle of the room. As shown
in the illustration, occupant traffic is high in several
areas of the room including the entrance, waiting room,
access to the door and activity around the reception
desk. Moreover, for each case aforementioned,
occupant movement almost always moves lateral to the
PIR, which ensures detection by the PIR, as well as
respecting the PIR detection range.
