RVS-RCS Installation Guide
RVS/RCS
This guide covers all models of RVS vacancy and RCS occupancy ceiling sensors.
These models include:
RVS-A-
X
W Vacancy sensor with small motion short range lens (1000 sq. ft.)
RVS-B-
X
W Vacancy sensor with large motion large range lens (1900 sq. ft.)
RVS-DA-
X
W Dual-tech vacancy sensor with small motion short range lens (1000 sq. ft.)
RVS-DB-
X
W Dual-tech vacancy sensor with large motion large range lens (1900 sq. ft.)
The RCS models are identical to the RVS with the addition of a battery to provide power for
support of auto-on occupancy sensor applications.
The character
X
in the model number is replaced with U for 902MHz, Y for 868MHz
radios, and J for 928MHz radios.
The product box includes the sensor, installation guide, lens mask, and two wire straps
for ceiling tile mounting.

Note:
The sensor cover is removable however it must be properly
seated for normal operation

Note:
The RVS is a solar powered device that absorbs solar energy
from artificial or natural light sources. Before assigning the RVS
sensor to a receiver or controller, the sensor should be exposed
to a good light source for a minimum of 2 minutes.
RVS - Vacancy, RCS - Occupancy Sensor Description
The RVS/RCS (also referred to as the sensor in this guide) is a wireless, energy harvesting
sensor. The models include a single method PIR (passive infrared) sensor or a dual
technology method of occupancy detection using a PIR sensor and audio interface (any
reference to audio in this guide applies to DT models only). The combination of PIR sensor
and audio sensing adds additional assurance of positive occupant detection. Passive
microphone technology provides coverage of audible human activity across most of the
PIR detection range. Innovative noise filtering is used to prevent false triggers that could
keep lights on in empty rooms. Used for indoor applications, the detector is optimized
for ceiling heights of 8 - 10 feet (2.4 - 3 meters).
