Elaho Responsive Vacancy Sensor
Overview
The Elaho Vacancy Sensor is a ceiling mounted sensor that utilizes passive
infrared (PIR) technology, providing reliable vacancy detection for lighting
control. The sensor relies on local station control for manual on and provides
auto off functionality upon detection of vacancy.
The Vacancy Sensor provides 360 degree coverage of the installed location
and is available in these models:
Model
E-VAC-SR
Small Room
E-VAC
Large Room
E-VAC-HC
High Ceiling
Field-installed lens masks are provided to allow customized occupancy
detection fields for each sensor lens type.
Custom Configuration
This document guides you through the installation and local DIP switch setup
of the sensor. For more detailed information about custom configuration
options available using ElahoAccess, see the ElahoAccess App integrated help
system.
Note:

  • Page 2: Prepare For Installation

    EchoConnect is a bi-directional protocol that uses one pair of wires (data + and data -) for both data and power. Echoflex recommends using Belden 8471 Class 2 wire (or approved equal - see the Echoflex cable cross database echoflexsolutions.com/files/Elaho_Data_Cable_Wire_Specs for equal alternatives).
  • Page 3: Installation

    Leave approximately 25.4 cm (10 in) of wiring in the back box for connection and to allow slack for future service needs. Note: Echoflex requires that all stations and devices be grounded for ESD protection. Pull an additional 2.5 mm (14 AWG) wire for grounding when control wires are not installed in grounded metal conduit.

  • Page 7 Echoflex Installation Guide Vacancy Sensor Settings The Elaho Responsive Vacancy Sensor participates in an Elaho control system using the configured Space and Address, which are selectable using the rotary switches on the sensor electronics. DIP switches, also located on the sensor electronics, set the sensor functionality.
  • Page 8 Echoflex Installation Guide Vacancy Sensor DIP Switch Settings DIP switches on the sensor electronics provide for additional configuration options including Use Custom Config, Vacancy Timeout, Enable/Disable PIR detection LED, and the ability to restore the sensor to its factory defaults.
  • Page 9 Echoflex Installation Guide Vacancy Sensor Power Up All EchoConnect terminations in the system must be made before applying power to the system and sensor. When the sensor is powered up, the PIR LED illuminates for one minute for calibration and warm-up. The PIR detection features of the sensor will automatically adjust the sensitivity threshold to eliminate nuisance tripping.
  • Page 10: Operation

    Echoflex Installation Guide Vacancy Sensor Operation When the space is vacant, manual control can switch the state to • occupied. When the space is occupied, PIR detection and manual control can • reset the vacancy timeout. Vacancy Timeout Vacancy timeout is the amount of time the sensor waits to take action after no movement is detected.
