Example of Non-Recommended Deployment
The below shows four Room Controllers (two for each room) installed in non-ideal locations for the two rooms.
The examination room shows one Room Controller installed in a low traffic area near the door, and a second Room Controller installed
on the wall directly opposite the door. For the Room Controller installed in the corner wall, the PIR could be blocked by the opened
door, while occupant traffic cold also be minimal in this area of the room. For the second Room Controller installed opposite the door,
the PIR detection could fall outside the specified detection zone, while at the same time most occupant movement would be not be
lateral to the PIR, thereby not respecting optimal crossing patterns for PIR detection.
The waiting room shows one Room Controller installed in the corner of the room, and a second Room Controller installed beside the
reception area. For the Room Controller installed in the corner, the opening/closing of the door creates high probability that the
PIR would get blocked, and therefore, occupancy going undetected. For the Room Controller installed beside the reception area,
occupant traffic could fall outside the detection zone, and the receptionist would often be below the 5 foot recommended installation
height for the Room Controller.
