Elaho Vacancy Sensor

Power Up and Test

Power Up

All EchoConnect terminations in the system must be made before applying
power to the system and sensor. When the sensor is powered up, the PIR LED
illuminates for one minute for calibration and warm-up, and then returns to
normal operation.

Configuration

Basic Configuration Mode

When the Vacancy Sensor is in Basic config mode (DIP switch 2 set to Off), the
sensor will activate a Space Off command when vacancy is detected.

Custom Configuration Mode

When functionality other than Space Off is required, place the sensor in
Custom config mode (DIP switch 2 On). Customization of the Vacancy Sensor
and all actions are configured using the ElahoAccess Mobile App.

For more detailed information about custom configuration options available
for the Vacancy Sensor using ElahoAccess, reference the ElahoAccess Mobile
App integrated help system.

Vacancy Timeout

Vacancy timeout is the amount of time the sensor waits to take action after
no movement is detected. By default, vacancy timeout is set to 15 minutes
(indicated by DIP switch 3 set to Off and 4 set to On). When the vacancy
timeout ends, the grace period begins.

When the sensor detects vacancy, the vacancy timeout period begins. If the
sensor does not detect occupancy again during the vacancy timeout period,
the lights turn off and a 30 second grace period begins.

Grace Period

The sensor features a 30 second grace period after a vacancy timeout occurs
to help prevent false vacancy detection. During this grace period, if the sensor
detects occupancy, it will restore the previous lighting condition.

Auto Vacancy Timeout

The “Auto” vacancy timeout setting varies vacancy the timeout between
5 and 30 minutes depending on how often it identifies an occupancy trigger
after a vacancy timeout occurs (during the grace period).
