Occupancy Detection Zone
The Sensor requires line of sight and cannot detect occupancy through solid
objects such as furniture. It can be triggered by hot moving air and hot
incandescent lights, so locating the Sensor at least four feet from air vents and
incandescent lighting is recommended.
Hand movement is detectable up to six feet (1.8m) when mounted on an 8 foot
(2.4m) ceiling. Walking and large motion is detectable up to 18 feet (6.1m) on
the same ceiling. Small movements decrease as the ceiling height becomes
greater than 9 feet (2.7m). Movement perpendicular to the Sensor is more
easily detected.
Occupancy Sensor Lens
Two sensor lens types are included. The sensor pattern for each lens is unique.
