Allure ECW-Sensor Series
Product Description
The Allure™ ECW-Sensor series are wireless battery-less room temperature sensors designed to communicate with Open-To-Wireless ready controllers
via radio telegrams in accordance with the EnOcean standard. These sensors provide accurate local temperature measurement with the capability of lo-
cal setpoint adjustment, fan speed setting, and occupancy override. Equipped with solar cells, they utilize energy converted from natural and artificial
light for their daily operation.
The modern alluring profile enclosure of an Allure ECW-Sensor is suitable for classrooms, hotels, executive areas, office spaces and other commercial
areas. With a separate sub-base, this device can be easily installed on almost any type of surface using double-sided adhesive tape or wall screws.
This document describes the hardware installation procedures for the following devices: Allure ECW-Sensor, Allure ECW-Sensor-O, Allure ECW-Sensor-
S, Allure ECW-Sensor-SO, and Allure ECW-Sensor-SOF. All models are available in the 902MHz and 868MHz frequency bands.
Unless otherwise indicated, the term Allure ECW-Sensor will be used in this document to represent all the models of the Allure ECW-
Sensor Series.
General Installation Requirements
For proper installation and subsequent operation of the Allure ECW-Sensor, pay special attention to the following recommendations:
£
Upon unpacking, inspect the contents of the carton for shipping damages. Do not install a damaged device.
£
The device is designed to operate under the following environmental conditions:
– Ambient temperature from 41°F to 104°F (5°C to 40°C)
– Relative humidity from 0% to 95%, non-condensing
£
Ensure proper ventilation of the device and avoid areas where corroding, deteriorating or explosive vapors, fumes or gases may be present. The de-
vice must be oriented with the ventilation slots towards the top to permit proper heat dissipation.
Any type of modification to any Distech Controls product will void the product's warranty
Take reasonable precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge to the device when installing, servicing or during operation. Discharge
accumulated static electricity by touching one's hand to a well-grounded object before working with the device.

Device Dimensions Unit Legend: Inches (mm) Table 1: From top left to bottom: Front view, back plate, side view – Maximum possible dimensions of Allure ECW-Sensor with added extension modules Setting the Transmission Interval The Allure ECW-Sensor contains four jumper pins that set the transmission interval. These jumper pins are located beside the Learn button and are ac- cessible through the hole in the sensor’s back plate. -
Page 5: Transmission Range
Redundant Transmission (CP) The second pair of jumper pins, JP3 and JP4, are used to set the number of consecutive cyclic wake-up times (CP) that are allowed without transmission of a radio telegram; in such a case a redundant signal is transmitted. Redundant retransmission refers to the transmission of a radio telegram when no significant input change has taken place since last transmission. - Page 6 Signal Transmission Quality Testing Even under screening conditions, Distech Controls strongly recommends that you always test the signal strength regardless of the range distance be- cause radio signals and transmission range can vary according to building and office setup. To verify the signal strength in any installation, use the RSSI feature with EC‑...
- Page 7 Tx: Transmitter Rx: Receiver Figure 8: Radio wave along the wall It is also recommended that a wireless receiver and sensor not be placed directly below or on top of each other; for example, if a wireless receiver is placed in the ceiling then the sensor should not be placed on the wall just below the ceiling, on the same vertical axis as the receiver. The sensor or the receiver should be relocated to obtain a better transmission range.
