Application Examples
Meeting Room
|
Description: Medium-size room (approximately 1,000 sq. ft.) used
for meetings and presentations. Typically, includes one table and a
whiteboard or projection screen. |
Shown:
LOS-CDT-2000-WH
(examples 1 and 2) |
|
Lighting control needs: Automatic on/off control so that lights
are not being used when the room is unoccupied. Sensor should be able to
pick up minor motion, as there is not much movement by occupants when
the space is in use. |
Lutron solutions:
|
Example 1: occupancy sensor only
- LOS-CDT-2000-WH dual-technology ceiling mount occupancy sensor
- Lutron PP-120H power pack
The dual technology capability of this occupancy sensor provides
excellent sensing of both major walking and minor writing motion
activity in the space without false trips. Ceiling mounting will give a
birds eye view of the entire room. The sensor should be mounted in the
center of the room so that the 360-degree field of view will detect
minor motion from anywhere in the space. For adequate minor motion
coverage, a 2000 sq. ft. range sensor was used for a 1000 sq. ft. room. |
Results: Lights will automatically turn on when someone enters
the room and lights will automatically turn off when the occupants
leave. However, the lights will not dim during a presentation. |
|
Example 2: occupancy sensor with lighting control system
- LOS-CDT-2000-WH
dual-technology ceiling mount occupancy sensor
- Lutron RadioTouch™
wireless remote lighting control system
Since the Lutron occupancy
sensor is being used with a Lutron lighting control system, no Lutron
power pack is required. The lighting control system will supply the
power to the sensor and provide the benefit of dimming and preset
lighting. Users can override the occupancy sensor by dimming the lights
for presentations. Furthermore, the lights can be set to preset levels
for continual energy savings even while the lights are on. For instance,
the lights can come on to a 75% light level when the space is occupied
and dim to 10% light level or completely off when unoccupied. |
Results:
Lights will automatically turn on to a preset level when someone enters
the room and lights will automatically turn off when the occupants
leave. Users can dim the lights for presentations. |
Classroom
|
Description: K-12 classroom with pendant fixtures (approx. 900
sq. ft.) |
Shown:
LOS-WDT-WH |
|
Lighting control needs: Automatic on/off control so that lights
are not being used when the room is unoccupied. Sensor should be able to
pick up minor motion, as there is little movement during long periods
such as during reading, writing, or testing times. Lights should be
dimmed during presentations. |
Lutron solution:
|
Example: occupancy sensor with lighting control system
- LOS-WDT-WH wall mount dual-technology occupancy sensor
- Lutron EcoSystem™ fluorescent lighting control system
The dual-technology capability of this occupancy sensor provides
excellent sensing of both major walking and minor writing motion
activity in the space without false trips. Wall mounting the sensor in
the corner behind the teacher's desk will give a clear view of the
entire room because of the sensor's 110-degree field of view.
Note that a wall mount sensor is used due to the presence of pendant
fixtures in the room, which can interfere with ceiling mount sensors.
For adequate minor motion coverage, a 1600 sq. ft. range sensor was used
for a 900 sq. ft. room.
Since the occupancy sensor is integrated with EcoSystem, no power pack
is required. Users can link the occupancy sensor to other rooms and they
can easily change can the lights that are controlled by the occupancy
sensor without rewiring.
The Lutron lighting control system also provides the benefits of dimming
and preset lighting for continual energy savings even while the lights
are on. For instance, the lights can come on to a 75% light level when
the space is occupied and dim to 10% light level or completely off when
unoccupied. |
Results: Lights will automatically turn on to a preset level when
someone enters the room and lights will automatically turn off when the
occupants leave. The teacher will be able to dim the lights for
presentations. In addition, users can easily reconfigure the occupancy
sensor to control other rooms or different lights without rewiring as
the usage of the room changes. |
Hallway
|
Description: Office building or hotel corridor (approximately
1000 sq. ft.) |
Shown:
LOS-CUS-2000-WH
(examples 1 and 2) |
|
Lighting control needs: Automatic on/off control so that lights
turn on when a person enters the hallway. And lights go out when the
hallway is vacant. |
Lutron solutions:
|
Example 1: occupancy sensor only
- LOS-CUS-2000-WH ceiling mount ultrasonic occupancy sensor
- Lutron PP-120H power pack
The ultrasonic technology fills the enclosed hallway and is unaffected
by obstructions such as the doors. Ceiling mounting will give a birds
eye view of the hallway. The sensor should be mounted in the center of
the room so that the 360-degree field of view will detect occupants from
anywhere in the space. For adequate minor motion coverage, a 2000 sq.
ft. range sensor was used for a 1000 sq. ft. room. |
Results: Lights will automatically turn on when someone enters
the room and lights will automatically turn off when the occupants
leave. |
|
Example 2: occupancy sensor with lighting control system
- LOS-CUS-2000-WH
ceiling mount ultrasonic occupancy sensor
- Lutron Softswitch128™
switching system with seeTouch™ wallstation controller
Provides all the benefits
above plus the ability to control multiple circuits or all the hallways
in building with an occupancy sensor. This provides the occupants with
enhanced personal safety, as they will not see any dark hallways. The
central point of control with the Softswitch128 system also is less
labor intensive to install than using multiple occupancy sensors for
each hallway because less wiring is needed. Also, note that no power
pack is required. |
Results:
The lights in all hallways will automatically turn on when someone
enters one hallway and the lights in all hallways will automatically
turn off when all the hallways are vacant. |
Small Restroom
|
Description: Small public restroom with a single stall
(approximately 100 sq. ft.) |
Shown:
LOS-SUS-WH |
|
Lighting control needs: Automatic on/off control so that lights
are not being used when the room is unoccupied. Sensor should be able to
pick up minor motion and sense around obstructions such as the stall
door.Note that a power pack is not required because Lutron wall switch
sensors are designed to accommodate line voltage. Just replace the
existing light switch with a Lutron wall switch occupancy sensor, no
power pack necessary. |
Lutron solution:
|
Example: occupancy sensor only
- LOS-SUS-WH wall switch ultrasonic occupancy sensor
The ultrasonic technology fills the enclosed restroom and is unaffected
by obstructions such as the stall door. Since the room is small and
enclosed, wall switch mounting and ultrasonic technology are
appropriate. Also, the 1,000 sq. ft. range of the sensor is sufficient
to capture minor motion in the space.
Note that a power pack is not required because Lutron wall switch
sensors are designed to accommodate line voltage. Just replace the
existing light switch with a Lutron wall switch occupancy sensor, no
power pack necessary. |
Results: Lights will automatically turn on when someone enters
the room and lights will automatically turn off when the occupants
leave. |

- Lutron PP-120H power pack
The dual technology capability of this occupancy sensor provides
excellent sensing of both major and minor motion activity in the space
without false trips. Ceiling mounting will give a birds eye view of the
entire room.
The sensor should be mounted on the ceiling at the center of the wall
connected to the doorway. This will allow the sensor's 180º
field-of-view to pick up people entering the room without looking out
the doorway. The PIR technology of the sensor will clearly detect
movement into the space while the sensor's US technology will pick up
any minor motion from anywhere in the space. For adequate minor motion
coverage, a 1000 sq. ft. range sensor was used for a 400 sq. ft. room. |
Results: Lights will automatically turn on when someone enters
the room and lights will automatically turn off when the occupants
leave. |
