PLACEMENT
The effective coverage distances may be slightly less than the maximum
sensing distance (see Coverage Patterns), depending upon obstacles such
as furniture or partitions, and this must be considered when planning the
number of sensors and their positioning. See the list below for approximate
coverage distances for different types of motion.
Approximate coverage, for a mounting height of 8 feet:
Lens option
Walking motion
Workstation (hand motion)
Extended Range up to 22ft radius (1200 sq ft) 12ft radius (500 sq ft)
High Density
up to 12ft radius (500 sq ft) 9ft radius (300 sq ft)
The CI-200 sensor can be mounted at various heights.
When you will be
mounting at heights other than 12ft, be
aware that as you decrease the mounting
height, you will decrease the range and
increase the sensitivity to smaller motions.
Conversely, when you increase the height,
you will increase the range and decrease
the sensitivity to smaller motions. At
heights of more than 12 -14ft, you may
start to significantly reduce sensitivity.
Often the best location to install a CI-200 in
a
closed office
is off-center (see fig.1). Avoid
placing a sensor directly in line with an open
door in which it has a clear view out, as the
sensor may detect people walking by.
For
open office areas
with partitions it is
best to place sensors over intersections of
four workstations (see fig. 2).
Also avoid placing the sensors close to
air ducts
, as rapid air currents or the
differences in temperatures may cause false
activations. For large areas of coverage use
multiple sensors.

A 4-S junction box can be used with a 3” mud-ring when local building codes
mandate that low voltage connections be contained in a junction box.
Otherwise a 3” mud-ring or the provided ceiling attachment ring can be used.
IMPORTANT: If the lens will be masked
, the junction box or mud ring may
need to be positioned so that the mask is oriented properly when the sensor
is installed (see Masking).
