Cubicle Occupancy Sensor ERUSB-C

echoflex ERUSB C Cubicle Sensor - fig1

Overview

The Cubicle Occupancy Sensor (ERUSB-C) uses passive infrared (PIR) technology to provide wireless occupancy and switch control for small spaces.
The ERUSB-C detects motion and transmits the occupancy status to control the lighting for a space. The built-in button provides manual switch control.echoflex ERUSB C Cubicle Sensor

Powered by a USB port on any PC, the ERUSB-C can be mounted at desk level or on a partition wall.
This document covers installation and operation. The product package includes the interface and a 1 m (3.2 ft) USB 2.0 cable (type A to type mini-B).

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 fixtures in the space may disrupt wireless transmissions.
  • Install the device within range of linked receivers or controllers, 24 m (80 ft). Consider adding a repeater to extend reception range.

Supplies required to install (not provided):

  • Double-sided tape or Velcro®

Installation

The ERUSB-C is powered through a USB port.

  1. Plug the mini-B end of the USB cable into the ERUSB-C and the other end into a computer USB port or wall plug adapter.
  2. Use double-sided tape or Velcro to mount the ERUSB-C to the wall, if required. Position the ERUSB-C facing the work station or underneath the desk where the occupant’s legs rest.

Link to a Controller
The compatible target controller must be installed, powered, and within range of the ERUSB-C. Both the occupancy sensor and the manual switch must be linked separately using the following two processes.

Note: The linking process can be used both to link a device to a controller and to unlink a linked device from a controller.

To link the occupancy sensor:

  1. Press the [Learn] button on the controller to activate Link mode. If necessary, refer to the related product documentation.
  2. Press and hold the button on the ERUSB-C for five seconds.
  3. Deactivate Link mode on the controller.

To link the manual switch:

  1. Press the [Learn] button on the controller to activate Link mode. If necessary, refer to the related product documentation.
  2. Press the button on the ERUSB-C once and then press and hold the button for five seconds.
  3. Deactivate Link mode on the controller.

Note: To use the manual override, you may have to press the button more than once as the ERUSB-C does not track the relay state.

Sensor Operation

The ERUSB-C uses a short-range occupancy sensor lens to control lighting in a small office or cubicle space. The button operates like a wall switch to control ON and OFF  manually. The green LED near the USB cable port indicates the last switch action: on when last ON, and off when last OFF.
The sensor uses passive infrared (PIR) and has a detection range of 2 m (6.6 ft) from the sensor and 2.5 m (8.2 ft) in diameter.
Within this range, small movements such as hand gestures like lifting a coffee cup are detected as occupancy. The ERUSB-C sends a wireless message as follows:echoflex ERUSB C Cubicle Sensor - fig

  • Transmits a message immediately when the occupancy state changes from vacant to occupied.
  • Transmits a vacant state message if no motion is detected for 200 seconds after last occupied state message.
  • Transmits the current occupancy state every 100 seconds (heartbeat message).
