This guide covers all models of RVS vacancy and RCS occupancy ceiling sensors.
These models include:
RVS-A-XW
Vacancy sensor with small motion short range lens (1000 sq. ft.)
RVS-B-XW
Vacancy sensor with large motion large range lens (1900 sq. ft.)
RVS-DA-XW Dual-tech vacancy sensor with small motion short range lens (1000 sq. ft.)
RVS-DB-XW 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.

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).

Installation Guide
The sensor cover is removable however it must be properly
seated for normal operation
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.

100 seconds. A LED under the PIR lens will blink when an occupied state telegram is sent. A linked Echoflex controller has an occupancy timer that is reset only when receiving an occupied state telegram so the lights will remain on so long as the sensor continues to sense occupancy. -
Page 3: Mounting The Sensor
controllers receive an occupied state telegram before their occupancy timer expires, the lights will remain on. PIR Motion Detection The sensors use a PIR sensor element that detects motion by measuring the infrared energy emitted by objects. The sensors are calibrated to detect the temperature range of the human body. -
Page 4: Lens Masking
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. -
Page 5: Test Operating Modes
Linking the Sensor to a Receiver This process requires the controller or receiver to be mounted, powered and within range of the sensor to be linked. The sensor is a solar powered device that absorbs energy through a solar panel; storing it for use during low light periods. - Page 6 LIGHT LEVEL TEST TABLE The green LED will blink according to the energy produced by the solar cell Blinks Foot Candles Charge Level < 40 < 3.7 Non-operational 40-65 3.8 to 6 PIR only operational mode > 65 > 6 Audio mode operational The test will repeat every 2 seconds and run for a duration of 100 seconds.
