General Information
Description
The CIR-15-360-D-T extreme temperature and CIR-2H-360-D-T extreme temperature high bay sen-
sors use passive infrared (PIR) technology with temperature compensating circuitry to control light-
ing in applications where extreme temperatures/humidity must be tolerated. When motion is
detected, the blue wire is electronically connected to the red wire, energizing the relay in the switch-
pack to turn on the load. If vacancy is detected, the blue wire is disconnected from the red, causing
the relay to open, turning off the load. The red lead is +15 VDC supply, the black lead is common, and
the blue is the relay control.
Controls:
Time delay, self-adjust enable/disable, ambient lights setting, HID interface, lighting sweep option,
pull-up option and manual override option are adjusted with the DIP switch. See DIP switch options
under CHECKOUT AND ADJUSTMENT on the reverse.

Sensor:
Choose sensor location carefully. The sensor must have a clear view of the area to be con-
trolled. There must be an unobstructed line-of sight from the sensor to any part of the con-
trolled area. For maximum coverage, position the sensor parallel to the longest dimension in
the area.
Switchpack:
The switchpack is generally mounted above the ceiling on
the outside of the junction box that contains a hot line, neu-
tral and the existing switch leg from which the lighting is
controlled. If additional switchpacks are required, they are
mounted on the outside of the boxes containing the appro-
priate switch legs. In installations where there are no exist-
ing switch legs, the switchpack may be mounted on the
outside of any conventional standard junction box, with or
without an extension ring.

Time Delay:
The sensor has eight (8) discreet time delay settings from 15 seconds to 30 minutes.
Bas Interface:
The sensor has an isolated Form C relay for BAS interface.
Lighting Sweep Option:
If selected, this DIP switch option forces an initial 50-second delay upon “power up” to prevent
false activation in buildings with computer control systems.
Ambient Lights Control Circuit:
Use the Ambient Lights controls located on the DIP switch to select the footcandle level at which
ambient light will be sufficient. If ambient light is at the selected level when occupancy is de-
tected, lights will not be activated. The Ambient Lights Control Circuit incorporates a deadband
and time delay which ignore brief changes in light levels, such as headlights of a passing car.
High/Low Hid Interface:
Setting the HID control DIP switch to On, allows the lamps to achieve and maintain full brightness
for 20 minutes. The sensor signals the switchpack to keep its relay engaged for the 20 minutes after
initial power up. After the 20-minute warm-up, normal time delay function takes over and bi-level
dimming is enabled. Full auto-off is achieved by installing a timer switch in series to the HID lighting.
Setting the HID control DIP switch to Off allows normal control of fluorescent and incandescent
loads via the switchpack.
Self- Adjusting Feature:
When the delay control is left at 15 seconds (for installer test), the sensor will reset the time delay to 6
minutes automatically after remaining off for one complete hour.
Setting the Self Adjust DIP switch to ON disables the self-adjusting feature.
Temperature Compensating Circuitry:
Temperature-compensating circuitry stabilizes sensitivity at temperatures from -40°C (-40°F) to 52°C
(125°F) to avoid false activations. If the temperature is outside of this range, lights will remain on and
the LED will blink three times every five seconds.
Location
These sensors are designed specifically for parking structures, cold storage areas, and other appli-
cations where extreme temperatures exist. Use CIR-15-360-D-T in areas up to a maximum of 1,500
square feet of major motion at a mounting height of 8 feet. Coverage of CIR-2H-360-D-T is twice
the mounting height when mounted up to 25 feet. In a warehouse aisle, a sensor mounted at 25
feet will provide coverage for 25 feet in any direction or 50 lin. ft.

Sensor:
The sensor mounts to normal ceiling tile through a
single 3/4” hole. The threaded mounting post may be
cut down if it is too long to fit into the junction box.
The sensor may also be surface mounted or mounted
to a standard NEMA 2S or 4S junction box.
CAUTION: Finger-tighten the nut to avoid stripping
the mounting post. Do not apply pressure to Fres-
nel lens.
Backplate:
The sensor can be easily snapped onto or pulled away
from the backplate without disturbing the mounting
hardware. To pull the sensor away from the backplate,
place your fingers on the door on the front of the sen-
sor and slide your fingers up onto the back end of the
sensor, with your fingers resting below the edge of the
backplate. As you press against the sensor, use your
other hand to grip the opposite end of the sensor and pull it away from the
backplate.
To snap the sensor back onto the backplate, place the end of the sensor without a door
against the backplate first, hooking the edge of the sensor on the two small prongs that ex-
tend from the backplate. Press the other end of the sensor against the backplate until it snaps
into place.
Switchpack:
Designed to be mounted externally to any junction box. When mounted, line connections
are inside the box and the Class 2 wiring exits through the rear of the switchpack housing. In
areas where Class 2 wiring is not permitted, the switchpack can be mounted internally to any
standard electrical box.
