SPECIFICATIONS
The PL20R and PLBPC are Wireless Plug Load Controls that are code compliant with 2013
California Title 24. The powerful 20A Tamper Resistant Smart Duplex Receptacle has
Controlled and Uncontrolled receptacles, an LED indicator, and a Manual override button. The
Controlled Plug Load will turn ON when motion is detected by the ceiling sensor and will turn
off 30 minutes after the room is vacated. The PIR ceiling sensor is battery operated so there is
no need for expensive in-wall wiring between the sensor and receptacles. Each PIR sensor
can pair up more than the 6 recommended receptacles with a wireless range up to 24' so it
can operate in large rooms such as conference rooms and lobbies.

The PLBPC provides a 360° coverage pattern. The coverage shown represents walking
motion at a mounting height of 8ft. For building spaces with lower levels of activity or with
obstacles and barriers, coverage size my decrease.
Location:
The PLBPC ceiling sensor should be mounted in a location free of obstruction
from furniture, plants, walls and vibration. The sensor must be mounted a minimum of 4ft
away from any air vents (registers). Avoid mounting the sensor close to heat source.
When mounting directly to a ceiling fixture,the lens of the sensor must be below the
lowest point of the fixture
The ceiling sensor is designed for a ceiling height or about 8-10 feet. Because of the
umbrela shaped coverage pattern, mounting above or below the recommended height
could reduce the coverage range and sensitivity.

IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE YOU PROCE
ED
:
•
Check with your electrician for maximum receptacles allowed per branch circuit.
•
A PLBPC sensor can control PL20R receptacles that are installed on different
branch circuits.
•
Exercise extreme caution when using the PLBPC to control appliances. It can be
activated from a room different than the controlled appliance so an unintentional
activation may occur if motion is detected. Unattended or unintentional operation
of connected appliance could result in hazardous conditions.
•
Automated devices should never be used to supply power to or
control
medical
monitor
and/or life support equipment.
