DEPLOYMENT
It is recommended to install the Room Controller as close to a door as possible (but not so as to be blocked by the door), or in an
area with high occupant movement.
Ideally the Room Controller should be installed 5 feet (1.5 meters) above the floor surface to ensure maximum detection range is
achieved. As well, Room Controller placement should ensure the occupant crosses the lens beam in a perpendicular path within
the prescribed detection zone.
Example of Recommended Deployment
The below shows Room Controllers installed in ideal locations for two rooms.
The examination room shows one Room Controller installed adjacent to the door. In this area of the room, occupant traffic is high
and ensures the occupant will almost always cross the PIR detection path laterally and within the detection range.
The waiting room shows one Room Controller installed beside a door in the middle of the room. As shown in the diagram below,
occupant traffic is high in several areas of the room including the entrance, waiting room, access to the door and activity around
the reception desk. Moreover, for each case aforementioned, occupant movement almost always moves lateral to the PIR, which
ensures detection by the PIR, as well as respecting the PIR detection range of 20 feet (6 meters) at 140°, and 16 feet (5 meters)
between 15° to 30° laterally.
