Echoflex Installation Guide
Ceiling Vacancy-Occupancy Sensor
Prepare for Installation
To ensure optimal function, consider the installation environment and the
following guidelines:
•
For indoor use only. Operating temperature -10°C to 45°C
(14°F to 113°F), 5%–92% relative humidity (non-condensing).
•
High density construction materials and large metal appliances or
fixtures in the space may disrupt wireless transmissions.
•
Install the sensor within range of linked receivers or controllers,
24 m (80 ft). Consider adding a repeater to extend reception range.
•
Ensure the lens model is suitable for the detection application. For
small office spaces (lens A models), locate the sensor so the PIR lens
has a line-of-sight to the desktop. See
•
Avoid locating the sensor where it can easily sense movement
outside of the intended space, such as hallways or adjacent rooms. If
these conditions are unavoidable, use lens mask stickers to block off
specific areas. See
•
Do not install within 2.5 m (8 ft) of an HVAC airflow duct or vent.
•
For the solar-powered RVS model, before linking the sensor expose it
to a good light source for at least two minutes at 65 lux
(6 footcandles). Install the RVS with one solar cell facing a light
fixture.
Supplies required to install (not provided):
•
Two #6 screws, double-sided tape, or Velcro

Installation
The sensor is optimized for 2.4–3 m (8–10 ft) ceiling heights. It can be
attached to a suspended ceiling or finished wallboard ceiling, to a
magnetic surface, or to other surfaces using flexible adhesive. Determine
the installation method and follow the instructions.
Note:
Consider linking the sensor while you have access and
before replacing the cover. See

Wire Staples to Ceiling Tile
1. Use your fingers to remove the cover, flexing it gently to release the
tabs that hold it in place. If you have difficulty, consider inserting a
small flatblade screwdriver under a release tab.
2. Mark the sensor mounting location on the ceiling tile.
