DESCRIPTION/ FEATURES

The PL20R and PLBPC are Wireless Plug Load Controls that are code compliant with 2013
California Title 24. The powerful 20A Tamper Resistant Smart Duplex Receptacle has
Controlled and Uncontrolled receptacles, an LED indicator, and a Manual override button. The
Controlled Plug Load will turn ON when motion is detected by the ceiling sensor and will turn
off 30 minutes after the room is vacated. The PIR ceiling sensor is battery operated so there is
no need for expensive in-wall wiring between the sensor and receptacles. Each PIR sensor
can pair up more than the 6 recommended receptacles with a wireless range up to 24' so it
can operate in large rooms such as conference rooms and lobbies.

COVERAGE

Wireless Plug Load Control
The PLBPC provides a 360° coverage pattern. The coverage shown represents walking
motion at a mounting height of 8ft. For building spaces with lower levels of activity or with
obstacles and barriers, coverage size my decrease.
Location: The PLBPC ceiling sensor should be mounted in a location free of obstruction
from furniture, plants, walls and vibration. The sensor must be mounted a minimum of 4ft
away from any air vents (registers). Avoid mounting the sensor close to heat source.
When mounting directly to a ceiling fixture,the lens of the sensor must be below the
lowest point of the fixture
The ceiling sensor is designed for a ceiling height or about 8-10 feet. Because of the
umbrela shaped coverage pattern, mounting above or below the recommended height
could reduce the coverage range and sensitivity.
• Make sure the sensor's view of the entrances is not blocked by the door
when it is opened.
• Do not mount sensors close to air vents.
• Cover the main walkways
• Try to avoid having the sensor looking out the door of the space
WARNING
Turn the POWER OFF at the circuit breaker before
installing the receptacle.
Read and understand these instructions before installing. This device is intended for
installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and local regulations. It is
recommended that a qualified electrician performs this installation. Make sure to turn off
the circuit breaker or fuse(s) and make sure power is off before wiring the device.
Use copper wires only.

IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE YOU PROCEED:

• Check with your electrician for maximum receptacles allowed per branch circuit.
• A PLBPC sensor can control PL20R receptacles that are installed on different
branch circuits.
• Exercise extreme caution when using the PLBPC to control appliances. It can be
activated from a room different than the controlled appliance so an unintentional
activation may occur if motion is detected. Unattended or unintentional operation
of connected appliance could result in hazardous conditions.
• Automated devices should never be used to supply power to or control medical
monitor and/or life support equipment.
Insert wires through the terminal holes in the back, then tighten
terminal screws.
• Connect Black HOT wire to the HOT terminal (brass screw).
• Connect White NEUTRAL wire to the NEUTRAL terminal (silver screw).
Connect GREEN or BARE wire to the GROUND terminal (green screw).
