Occupancy Sensor – Ceiling Mounted

Product Description

The Verve ceiling-mounted Occupancy Sensor saves energy and

adds convenience by accurately detecting when an area is

occupied or vacant.

It is a wireless, solar-powered sensor that detects occupancy

using passive infrared (PIR) heat and motion sensing. The sensor

transmits RF messages to Verve lighting, HVAC, and outlets to

use energy more efficiently.

Features Include:

• Sends wireless messages to other devices whenever motion

is detected

• Harvests ambient solar energy to power the sensor and

wireless communication

• Mounts easily on any ceiling material

• Works with other sensors for enhanced occupancy tracking

• Built-in tests to confirm operation at installed location

• Supplemental battery option for extreme low-light failover

Specifications

Planning

Take a moment to plan for the sensor’s successful operation and

optimal communication with other system components.

Remove the sensor from its packaging and place it in a strong

light to provide the required startup charge.

Tip: To quickly ensure the sensor energy storage is fully charged,

insert a CR2032 battery for 30 seconds.

• Ensure the location provides consistent and adequate light

• Locate the sensor in the center of the room with an

unobstructed view of the space

• Avoid installed near ceiling fan or hanging fixtures

• Consider the area’s traffic patterns and principal use, for

example, walking, lounging or sleeping

• Confirm a location is suitable by temporarily mounting the

sensor and testing it, see Walk Test and Light Test sections

• Consider the construction materials in the space and

obstacles that may interfere with RF signals

Sensor Range

A single occupancy sensor provides sufficient coverage for most

applications.

Note: For some applications, multiple sensors may be required

to provide complete coverage.

Coverage Diagrams

Tip: To provide coverage for very high ceilings, a wall sensor can

be incorporating in the plan for complete coverage.

Installing estimated time: 20 minutes

The occupancy sensor can be mounted on most ceilings with the

provided screws, or mounted on dropped ceilings, using the

provided wire bracket.

1. Decide where you want to install the occupancy sensor.

Tip: For visual alignment, orient the sensor parallel to one of

the walls.

2. Remove the mounting plate from the sensor.

3. Decide which of the two installation options is appropriate.

Screw Mounting Plate to the Ceiling

a. Hold the mounting plate in place on the ceiling and use a

pencil to lightly mark two small dots for the screw drill

points.

b. Drill two holes with a 3/16” drill bit and insert the wall

anchors.

c. Insert the first screw

loosely and level the

mounting plate.

d. Insert the second screw

and then hand-tighten the

first screw.

Mount Using the Wire Bracket

a. Remove the ceiling tile where you want to mount the

sensor.

b. Place the mounting plate squarely on the ceiling tile and

use the wire to mark two points for the holes.

c. Punch two small holes through the ceiling tile at the

marked points.

d. Insert the wire bracket

through the two holes in

the mounting plate.

Make sure the ends are

roughly even.

e. Feed the wires through the

holes in the ceiling tile.

f. On the front of the ceiling

tile, flatten the wire bracket

so it is snug against the

mounting plate.

g. On the back of the ceiling

tile, twist the wires

together to hold the

mounting plate securely.

h. Replace the ceiling tile.

4. Attach the sensor to the mounting plate.

With the 2-button interface facing you, slide the sensor to

the left on the mounting plate until it snaps into place.

Note: It may be easier to link the sensor before it is mounted

on the ceiling. See the Linking section.

Installing Supplemental Battery (optional)

If light levels are very low where the sensor is installed, auxiliary

battery power (CR2032) can be used to supplement the solar

energy harvester.

1. Remove the sensor from the mounting plate.

With the 2-button interface facing you, slide the sensor to

the right.

2. Turn the sensor over and identify the battery holder on the

circuit board.

3. Insert the battery under the clip with the positive pole (+)

up and press it in place.

4. Remount the sensor on the mounting plate.
