Overview

The Elaho Vacancy Sensor is a ceiling mounted sensor that utilizes passive
infrared (PIR) technology, providing reliable vacancy detection for lighting
control. The sensor relies on local station control for manual on and provides
auto off functionality upon detection of vacancy.

The Vacancy Sensor provides 360 degree coverage of the installed location
and is available in these models:

Field-installed lens masks are provided to allow customized occupancy
detection fields for each sensor lens type.

Custom Configuration

This document guides you through the installation and local DIP switch setup
of the sensor. For more detailed information about custom configuration
options available using ElahoAccess, see the ElahoAccess App integrated help
system.

Note:

To use the configuration settings applied using ElahoAccess,

DIP switch 2 must be enabled. See

DIP Switch Settings on page 8
