RVS-RCS Installation Guide
Wire Mounts
Select a location to mount the sensor on the ceiling by identifying the movement
patterns that will be the most common in the space.
•
For smaller office spaces where hand motion on a desktop is common, locate
the sensor off to one end of the desk, in line with the desk edge or slightly
behind so the PIR lens has direct line-of-sight to the keyboard desktop area.
Insure that the PIR lens does not have direct line-of-sight out a doorway where
walk-by traffic could trigger the sensor. Use the included lens mask stickers to
mask off these areas.
•
Larger offices where larger body motion is more common, placement of the
sensor is less critical.
1.
For the best sensor performance, mount the RVS sensor so at least one of the
solar cells is facing a light fixture. The sensor will operate in low light levels
however, for best performance; a minimum of 6 foot candles must be maintained.
If the controlled lights in the space are dimmable either manually or via daylight
harvesting, insure the light level at the lowest dimmed level meets this 6 FC
requirement. If the light value does not meet this requirement, install a battery.
2. Remove the cover by inserting a small screwdriver under the white enclosures lip.
Gently twist the screw driver and pull the cover away from the base.
3. Choose a mounting method. The sensor can be mounted:
•
With the integrated magnets to a steel T-bar ceiling frame or other metallic
surface by placing the sensor on to the metal rail.
•
With screws and anchors (not provided) to a wall-board ceiling.
i.
Use a pencil to mark the mounting base keyhole locations and remove the
sensor.
ii.
Using a drill, bore the two holes and insert the anchors.
iii.
Install the screws, leaving them loose while you place the sensor.
iv. Tighten the screws.
•
With the provided wire straps to a soft ceiling tile.
i.
Mark the sensor mounting location on the ceiling tile
with a pencil. Remove the ceiling tile from the T-bar
frame.
ii.
Insert the soft ceiling tile adapters through the pair
of small holes beside both keyholes on the sensors
mounting plate.
iii.
Poke the tines through the ceiling tile, then bend each
tine over in opposite directions for a secure fit.
iv.
Replace the ceiling tile.
•
With double sided tape or Velcro™, not provided. Cut two
lengths of tape and remove the backing. Place on the mounting surface of the
sensors back plate, pressing down. Remove the backing from the tape’s other
side and place the sensor on the ceiling surface, pressing firmly.
4. Refer to the section titled
Linking the Sensor to a Receiver
.
5. Once linking is complete, replace the sensor cover.
Ensure
the cover is fully seated.
If the cover is not firmly attached,
it could obstruct the lens and adversely affect operation.
Lens Masking
Lens mask stickers are provided in the packaging for your
convenience.
1.
As needed, peel off the lens masks to fit the desired area to
be blocked.
2. Apply the mask gently to the section of the lens exterior to
block the required area from occupancy sensing.
