HOW DOES OCCUPANCY DETECTION WORK?
By utilizing passive infrared (PIR) sensing technology and intelligent logic control software, the occupancy sensors are able to verify the status of rooms.
In an occupied mode the thermostat operates normally and looks for a door open signal. When the door opens (door open signal) the thermostat waits for a door close. If door is open for more than five minutes the thermostat turns the HVAC system outputs to OFF. Once the HVAC outputs transition to off, a door closure is required to re-enable the outputs.
On a door close the thermostat starts a five-minute timer and looks for an occupancy detection. If the timer expires and no occupancy is detected, the thermostat transitions to unoccupied state. If occupancy is detected while the timer is running the thermostat will remain in the occupied state.
In the unoccupied state the thermostat sets heating and cooling set points to setback values, as determined by factory or user settings to reduce energy consumption and equipment wear.
• Allows normal operation when infrared sensor detects occupancy
• Works with most existing systems
• Occupied vs. unoccupied operation is determined by S200 sensor with timers.
• In unoccupied mode, default heating setpoints are 51/55/59?F, cooling setpoints are 79/82/85?F.
CONTROLLED SETBACK
Programmable high-low temperature setback limits allow the hotel management to select an energy-conserving temperature range for empty rooms. This feature prevents rooms from becoming too hot or too cold when unoccupied, and provides efficient cool down or warm up on occupant return.
