Ceiling Vacancy-Occupancy Sensor RVS RCS
Overview
The wireless Ceiling Vacancy-Occupancy
Sensor is available as a vacancy (RVS) or
occupancy (RCS) model, both of which
offer two detection ranges, two radio
frequencies, and can operate using
standard passive infrared (PIR) or Dual
Technology.
The Dual Technology sensor uses PIR and
passive microphone technology to provide
full coverage of audible human activity.
Innovative noise filtering prevents false
triggers that could keep lights on in empty
spaces.
The vacancy ceiling sensor (RVS) has two solar cells to harvest energy
when the lights are ON, while the occupancy ceiling sensor (RCS) is
battery powered to support auto-ON occupancy sensor applications.

When used with an Echoflex lighting controller, the sensor is well suited
to meet all energy code requirements for occupancy or vacancy-based
general lighting applications.
This document covers installation, testing, and settings that apply to all
RVS RCS models. The product package includes the sensor, lens mask
stickers, two wire staples, and battery (RCS models only).

    Echoflex Installation Guide Ceiling Vacancy-Occupancy Sensor Prepare for Installation To ensure optimal function, consider the installation environment and the following guidelines: For indoor use only. Operating temperature -10°C to 45°C • (14°F to 113°F), 5%–92% relative humidity (non-condensing). High density construction materials and large metal appliances or •...

Insert the wire staples through the pinholes on the sensor, one set located on each side near the keyholes. 5. Poke the tines through the ceiling tile, then bend each tine over in opposite directions for a secure fit.
  • Page 4 Immediately when a change to the occupied state is detected • Echoflex controllers also have a configurable occupancy timer that controls when the lights shut off after a period of vacancy. See the controller’s Configuration Guide for details on setting up timers and occupancy or vacancy modes of control.
  • Page 5: Lens Masking

    Echoflex Installation Guide Ceiling Vacancy-Occupancy Sensor Lens Masking Lens mask stickers are provided to block a section of the lens from detecting occupancy. To attach, remove the backing and stick the mask on the sensor lens to cover the target section. Cut to size, if required.
  • Page 6 Echoflex Installation Guide Ceiling Vacancy-Occupancy Sensor To replace the battery: 1. Use your fingers to remove the cover, flexing it gently to release the tabs that hold it in place. If you have difficulty, consider inserting a small flatblade screwdriver under a release tab.
  • Page 7 Echoflex Installation Guide Ceiling Vacancy-Occupancy Sensor Range Confirmation The Range Confirmation test quantifies the wireless signal strength with a linked controller that has range confirmation capability. Note: Only one controller can be linked to the RVS RCS to run the test properly. Disable repeaters in range.
  • Page 8: Sensor Setting

    Two red blinks - Occupancy Timer (DT model only) • Note: Echoflex dual-tech sensors have a configurable Occupancy Timer that sends a vacancy message when expired. If using another controller brand with a DT model, you may want to adjust the Occupancy Timer on the sensor to control vacancy messaging.

    Echoflex Installation Guide Ceiling Vacancy-Occupancy Sensor LED Display The LED Display setting enables or disables the LEDs. Blinking LEDs are informative but not suitable for every location. Disabling the LEDs eliminates distractions as well as conserves battery power. If disabled, the LEDs still operate to run tests and indicate low battery.
