RAPIX Lighting Control System
9. Presence/Occupancy Detection
The sensor head has two distinct detection sensitivity zone categories, major movement and minor movement.
1
(Occupancy) is defined as a 60kg person, walking at >1m/s, across the field of view, with a
Major Movement
background ambient temperature of 20°C.
The PIR Occupancy Sensor will detect Major Movement within a 7m diameter circular area of its position when
mounted at 2.7m from the floor as shown below.
1
(Presence) is defined as a hand and forearm at 0.9m from the floor moving through a 90° arc
Minor Movement
in <1.5 sec with a background ambient temperature of 20°C.
The PIR Occupancy Sensor will detect Minor Movement within a 3.5m diameter circular area of its position when
mounted at 2.7m from the floor as shown below.

Note: Additional detection outside these areas may be noticed subject to external temperature, mounting height
and movement activity.
