Occupancy Sensor – Ceiling Mounted

Product Description

The Verve ceiling-mounted Occupancy Sensor saves energy and 
adds convenience by accurately detecting when an area is 
occupied or vacant. 

It is a wireless, solar-powered sensor that detects occupancy 
using passive infrared (PIR) heat and motion sensing. The sensor 
transmits RF messages to Verve lighting, HVAC, and outlets to 
use energy more efficiently.

Features Include: 

Sends wireless messages to other devices whenever motion 
is detected

Harvests ambient solar energy to power the sensor and 
wireless communication

Mounts easily on any ceiling material 

Works with other sensors for enhanced occupancy tracking

Built-in tests to confirm operation at installed location

Supplemental battery option for extreme low-light failover

Specifications 

 Planning

Take a moment to plan for the sensor’s successful operation and 
optimal communication with other system components.

Remove the sensor from its packaging and place it in a strong 
light to provide the required startup charge.

Tip: 

To quickly ensure the sensor energy storage is fully charged, 

insert a CR2032 battery for 30 seconds.

Ensure the location provides consistent and adequate light

Locate the sensor in the center of the room with an 
unobstructed view of the space

Avoid installed near ceiling fan or hanging fixtures

Consider the area’s traffic patterns and principal use, for 
example, walking, lounging or sleeping

Confirm a location is suitable by temporarily mounting the 
sensor and testing it, see Walk Test and Light Test sections

Consider the construction materials in the space and 
obstacles that may interfere with RF signals

Sensor Range

A single occupancy sensor provides sufficient coverage for most 
applications. 

Note: 

For some applications, multiple sensors may be required 

to provide complete coverage.
