POVS-1 Series
PIR Occupancy/Vacancy Sensor
Introduction
POVS-1 is a Passive Infrared Motion Sensor that can function as either a security sensor which activates alarm when triggered, or
an occupancy/vacancy sensor which controls home automation or lighting functions via the Control Panel.
Optional models with extra temperature sensor, humidity, and/or ambient light sensor, can provide temperature, humidity/lux
readings and transmit to the Control Panel at regular intervals.
The PIR includes following models, with optional ambient light sensor, temperature sensor, and humidity sensor functions.

Parts Identification
1. IR Lens w/ LED Indicator
The LED Indicator is located at the center of the IR lens.
In Normal operation mode, the LED Indicator will flash in the following conditions:
- When movement is detected under low battery condition.
- When movement is detected under Test mode.
- When the Test Button is pressed under low battery condition.
2. Battery Compartment
The PIR is powered by one CR123A 3V Lithium battery.
3. Test Button
The test button is used for testing the radio performance and for learning purpose.
4. Magnetic Base
The PIR is deployed on the magnetic base when installing. The magnet within PIR and the base will ensure the PIR
remains attached to the base regardless of PIR location and angle.
Features
Occupancy/Vacancy Detection
When the PIR detects movement, it will transmit a trigger signal. The PIR then begins counting down the occupancy/vacancy
timer. The timer length is adjustable from
30 seconds
to
60 minutes
via the Control Panel.
During the timer, if the PIR detects movement, the timer will be reset.
When the timer expires without any motion detection, the PIR will transmit a motion detection restore signal and return to
normal operation.
Sensitivity Adjustment
The PIR sensitivity can be adjusted to meet different requirements as either security or occupancy/vacancy sensor. Up to 5
levels of sensitivity may be selected via the Control Panel.
After the PIR is learned into the Control Panel, you can further set its Occupancy/Vacancy Timer & Sensitivity level from the
Control Panel Webpage.
1.
Press and hold the Test button on the PIR for three seconds, the LED indicator will light up.
2.
Refer to your Control Panel operation manual to edit the device.
3.
Go to
Occupancy/Vacancy Timer & Sensitivity
and select a desired setting from the dropdown menu.
4.
Click
OK
to confirm. The Sensor’s LED will turn bright and then dim to indicate successful operation.
Battery and Low Battery Detection
The PIR uses one CR123A 3V Lithium battery as its power source. The PIR main body must be removed from base to access
