Echoflex Installation Guide
Vacancy Sensor
Prepare for Installation
Ceiling-mount sensors are intended for installation to a finished ceiling
surface, soft ceiling tile mounted, or attached to a round or octagonal fixture
junction box.
Compliance
•
cULus Listed
•
CE compliant
For use with Echoflex Elaho Control Systems, powered by an Elaho station
power supply.
Environment
Ambient
For indoor, commercial controls use only. Operating temperature 0-40°C
(32-104°F), humidity maximum 90% (non-condensing).
Location
Echoflex recommends paying special attention to the installation
environment:
•
The sensor must have an unobstructed view of the room. Do not
mount behind or near tall cabinets, shelves, hanging light fixtures, etc.
•
Do not install the sensor within eight feet from an HVAC airflow
duct/vent.
•
Install the sensor where it cannot easily sense movement in areas
outside of the intended space, such as hallways, glass partitions, or
adjacent rooms. If the installation location cannot avoid these
conditions, portions of the lens can be masked to block the sensor
view of these undesired areas. See
Wire Specification
The Vacancy Sensor connects to the EchoConnect communication bus.
EchoConnect is a bi-directional protocol that uses one pair of wires (data +
and data -) for both data and power. Echoflex recommends using Belden
8471 Class 2 wire (or approved equal - see the Echoflex cable cross database
echoflexsolutions.com/files/Elaho_Data_Cable_Wire_Specs
for equal
alternatives). The total combined length of an EchoConnect wire run using
Belden 8471 may not exceed 500 m (1,640 ft), with a maximum distance of
400 m (1,312 ft) between any two devices.
