Overview

SENSORWORX line voltage wide view and hallway occupancy sensors are self-contained lighting control solutions that mount to the wall, corner, or ceiling. Using an adjustable angled bracket and multi-position chase nipple, these sensors reduce contractor installation time and provide a secure and clean finished appearance. SENSORWORX products utilize the latest passive infrared technology and digital signal processing techniques to provide unmatched detection performance. Additionally, these SENSORWORX units are available with an integrated microphone to provide overlapping passive acoustic occupancy detection for rooms with obstructions or where occupant motion will be limited.

Basic Operation

Sensors detect movement in the infrared energy that radiates from occupants as they move within the device’s field-of-view. Once occupancy is identified, the sensor’s internal relay switches power on to the connected lighting. If equipped with passive acoustic detection, the unit’s microphone is then also enabled to further enhance detection while the lights are on. An internal timer is set to keep lights on during brief periods of inactivity, and is reset every time occupancy is signaled by either the passive infrared or acoustic detection technologies. Additionally, optional daylight detection is available that will turn off controlled lighting whenever there is sufficient ambient light in the space.
