Echoflex Installation GuideOccupancy Sensor

Wire SpecificationSensors connect to the EchoConnect® communication bus. EchoConnect is abidirectional protocol that uses one pair of wires (data + and data -) for bothdata and power. Echoflex recommends using Belden 8471 (or approved equal)Class 2 wire. The total combined length of an EchoConnect wire run (usingBelden 8471, or equal) may not exceed 1,640 feet (500 m).

Note: All control wiring should be installed and terminated by aqualified installer and should follow standard wiring installation practices.

Leave approximately 8" (20 cm) of wiring in the back box for connectionand to allow slack for future service needs.

Note: Echoflex requires that all Elaho stations and devices be groundedfor ESD protection. Pull an additional 14 AWG (2.5 mm2) wire forgrounding when control wires are not installed in grounded metal conduit.

Note: When using Category 5 (or equivalent) cable on the EchoConnectcommunication bus, please note the following:

• Cat5 wiring must be terminated using EchoConnect Cat5Termination Kit and must be installed using a bus topology.Refer to the installation guide that is provided with the Cat5Termination Kit (8186A1207) for information to terminateCat5 wiring.

• Not all topologies are supported using Cat5; careful planningis required to ensure the proper termination kits are availableand the wire is pulled appropriately.

Installation EnvironmentOccupancy Sensors are intended for installation to a finished ceiling surface,ceiling tile mounted, attached to a round fixture junction box or single-gangRACO switch box.

The sensor operates in ambient temperatures of 0° C to 40° C, with amaximum of 90% non-condensing humidity.

Echoflex recommends paying special attention to the installationenvironment:

• The sensor must have an unobstructed view of the room. Do notmount behind or near tall cabinets, shelves, hanging light fixtures, etc.

• Do not install the sensor within eight feet from an HVAC airflowduct/vent.

Elaho Occupancy Sensor Page 2 of 12 Echoflex Solutions, Inc.


• Install the sensor where it cannot easily sense movement in areasoutside of the intended space, such as hallways, glass partitions, oradjacent rooms. If the installation location cannot avoid theseconditions, portions of the lens can be masked to block the sensorview of these undesired areas. Reference Lens Masking on page 10.

Parts and SuppliesThe following parts and supplies are included with the Occupancy Sensorordered:

• Soft ceiling tile adaptor• 2 each screws, 6-32 x 3/4” and 1 3/4”• EchoConnect and ESD ground wire pigtails• 3 lens masks

Note: Follow all local code requirements for terminating wire.

Use appropriately sized wire nuts (not provided) to secure eachtermination.

The EchoConnect pigtail is only required when the sensor is installed inseries with other stations or sensors. If you are not continuing the datarun, direct termination on the control board is recommended.

Sensor ConfigurationThe Occupancy Sensor participates in an Elaho system using the configuredSpace and Address, which are selectable using the rotary switches on the rearpanel of the sensor.

Additional DIP switches and the [MODE] button, also located on the rearpanel, set the sensor functionality and the occupancy detected action.

Set Space and AddressTwo rotary switches on the rear panel of the controller provide for assignmentof the sensor Space and Address. By default, these switches are set to Space1, Address 1. Commands are shared by all devices within a given space.1. Set the Space rotary switch to the desired number (1 through 16) for

the space you want the sensor to control.2. Set the Address rotary switch to desired address (1 through 16) for the

sensor identification in the selected space.

Note: Do not duplicate a device Address within the same Space.



DIP Switch SettingsDIP switches on the rear panel of the OccupancySensor provide for additional configuration optionsincluding Use Custom Config, Vacancy Timeout,Enable/Disable PIR detection LED, and the ability torestore the sensor to its factory defaults.

DIP Switch 2DIP switch 2 enables “Custom Config” whichinstructs the sensor to use settings that are configured using the ElahoAccessMobile App. This setting is Off by default.

• When “Custom Config” is set to Off, the default position, local DIPswitch settings for Vacancy Timeout and Enable PIR LED are used.Sensor actions can be adjusted using the program [MODE] button.

• When “Custom Config” is set to On, all other local DIP switch settingsare ignored. Instead, the settings made by the ElahoAccess MobileApp for Vacancy Timeout, Enable PIR LED, and Occupancy actions areused.

DIP Switch 3&4DIP switch 3 & 4 set the “Vacancy Timeout” to 5, 15, 30 minutes, or Auto.See Vacancy Timeout on page 9.

• 5 min = Switches 3 and 4 are Off.• 15 min = Switch 3 is Off and Switch 4 is On (default).• 30 = Switch 3 is On and Switch 4 is Off.• Auto = Both switches are On. See Auto Vacancy Timeout on page 9.

DIP Switch 5DIP switch 5 enables/disables the red PIR detection LED. When the switch isOff, the PIR LED disables unless it is in Walk Test mode. When set to On, thered PIR LED will illuminate the sensor lens when movement is detected. Thedefault position is On.

DIP Switch 8DIP switch 8 provides a “Restore Defaults at Boot” function. The factorydefaults are restored by setting this DIP switch On, and cycling power to thestation. The default position is Off.

Note: DIP switches 1, 6, and 7 are not currently used and are reservedfor future development. Leave them at their default Off setting.



Power Up and TestPower Up

All EchoConnect terminations in the system must be made before applyingpower to the system and sensor. When the sensor is powered up, the PIR LEDilluminates for one minute for calibration and warm-up, and then returns tonormal operation.

ConfigurationSensor configuration for Basic config mode (DIP switch 2 set to Off) can beaccomplished locally on the sensor using the other available DIP switches,[MODE] button and LED, and the Auxiliary button. See Preset below, andVacancy Timeout on the facing page for local configuration instructions.

PresetThe [MODE] button located on the rear panel of the sensor places the sensorinto “Program Mode.” Both the [MODE] button and related Mode LED, aswell as the Auxiliary “A” button are used for configuration of the occupancyaction.

• The “A” button andMode LED are used to program the preset that isactivated with an occupancy state change. When programming, theMode LED blinks to indicate the current preset number used.

• When vacancy is detected, the sensor will activate a Space Offcommand. When functionality other than Space Off is required, placethe sensor in Custom config mode (DIP switch 2 On). Customization ofthe Occupancy Sensor and all related actions are configured using theElahoAccess Mobile App.

Note: For more detailed information about custom configurationoptions available for the Occupancy Sensor using ElahoAccess, referencethe ElahoAccess Mobile App integrated help system.

1. Press and hold the [MODE] button for 3 seconds to enter “ProgramMode.” Program Mode allows adjustment of the preset that activatesfor occupancy detection. By default, this is Preset 1. The “A” button,located on the front of the sensor, blinks to indicate the preset numbercontrolled by the occupancy action.

2. Press and release the “A” button the number of times to set the newpreset. (For example: press and release ten times to set Preset 10.)The “A” button blinks the number of the preset used for theoccupancy event action.

3. Press and release the [MODE] button to save the current setting. TheMode/Sensor count LED turns off and the “A” button again blinks outthe saved preset index.

4. Attach the sensor to the mounting plate by aligning the tabs on thesensor with the slots on the mounting plate, then twist clockwise untilthe two are locked into place.

Vacancy TimeoutVacancy timeout is the amount of time the sensor waits to take action afterno movement is detected. By default, vacancy timeout is set to 15 minutes(indicated by DIP switch 3 set to Off and 4 set to On). When the vacancytimeout ends, the grace period begins.

When the sensor detects vacancy, the vacancy timeout period begins. If thesensor does not detect occupancy again during the vacancy timeout period,the lights turn off and a 30 second grace period begins.

Grace PeriodThe sensor features a 30 second grace period after a vacancy timeout occursto help prevent false vacancy detection. During this grace period, if the sensordetects occupancy, it will restore the previous lighting condition.

Auto Vacancy TimeoutThe “Auto” vacancy timeout setting varies vacancy the timeout between5 and 30 minutes depending on how often it identifies an occupancy triggerafter a vacancy timeout occurs (during the grace period).



Lens MaskingLens masks are provided in the packaging for your convenience, used to blocka section of the lens from detecting occupancy.

1. As needed, trim the lens mask tofit the desired area to be blocked.

2. Gently press down on the sensorlens, which will give only slightly,and insert the lens mask.

3. Rotate the lens mask around thedome to block the required areafrom sensing.

PIR DetectionThe PIR detection automatically adjusts its sensitivity to eliminate nuisancetripping. When the sensor powers on, the red PIR LED illuminates forapproximately 60 seconds to identify “Power Up” state. Sensor configurationis not allowed. During this time, no events are triggered.

TestOccupancy Sensors offer a Walk Test mode which shortens the vacancy timerto ten seconds, allowing for simple and quick verification of the sensorscoverage and range in the installed space.
