DESCRIPTION/ FEATURES
The PL20R and PLBPC are Wireless Plug Load Controls that are code compliant
with 2013 California Title 24. The powerful 20A Tamper Resistant Smart Duplex
Receptacle has Controlled and Uncontrolled receptacles, an LED indicator, and
a Manual override button. The Controlled Plug Load will turn ON when motion is
detected by the ceiling sensor and will turn off 30 minutes after the room is
vacated. The PIR ceiling sensor is battery operated so there is no need for
expensive in-wall wiring between the sensor and receptacles. Each PIR sensor
can pair up more than the 6 recommended receptacles with a wireless range up
to 24′ so it can operate in large rooms such as conference rooms and lobbies.
Ideal Solutions for Wireless Plug Load Control
- Hotel guest room: flat screen TV’s, floor lamps, task lamps, and coffee maker.
- Private offices: monitors, desk lamps, desk fan, personal heater, flat screen TV, and printer.
- Breakrooms: toasters, coffee maker, microwaves, flat screen TV’s, and vending machines.
- Waiting rooms: flat screen TV’s, and table lamps.
- Copier rooms: monitors, shredders, copier machines, hole punch machines, flat screen TV’s.
COVERAGE
The PLBPC provides a 360° coverage pattern. The coverage shown
represents walking motion at a mounting height of 8ft. For building spaces
with lower levels of activity or with obstacles and barriers, coverage size my
decrease.
Location: The PLBPC ceiling sensor should be mounted in a location free
of obstruction from furniture, plants, walls and vibration. The sensor must be
mounted a minimum of 4ft away from any air vents (registers). Avoid mounting
the sensor close to heat source.
When mounting directly to a ceiling fixture, the lens of the sensor must be
below the lowest point of the fixture
-
Make sure the sensor’s view of the entrances is not blocked by the door when it is opened.
The ceiling sensor is designed for a ceiling height or about 8-10 feet. Because of the umbrela shaped coverage pattern, mounting above or below the recommended height could reduce the coverage range and sensitivity. -
Do not mount sensors close to air vents.
-
Cover the main walkways
-
Try to avoid having the sensor looking out the door of the space
WARNING
Turn the POWER OFF at the circuit breaker before installing the receptacle.
Read and understand these instructions before installing. This device is
intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and
local regulations. It is recommended that a qualified electrician performs
this installation. Make sure to turn off the circuit breaker or fuse(s) and
make sure power is off before wiring the device.
Use copper wires only.
IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE YOU PROCEED:
- Check with your electrician for maximum receptacles allowed per branch circuit.
- A PLBPC sensor can control PL20R receptacles that are installed on different branch circuits.
- Exercise extreme caution when using the PLBPC to control appliances. It can be activated from a room different than the controlled appliance so an unintentional activation may occur if motion is detected. Unattended or unintentional operation of connected appliance could result in hazardous conditions.
- Automated devices should never be used to supply power to or control medical monitor and/or life support equipment.
WIRING DIRECTIONS
Insert wires through the terminal holes in the back, then tighten terminal
screws.
- Connect Black HOT wire to the HOT terminal (brass screw).
- Connect White NEUTRAL wire to the NEUTRAL terminal (silver screw).
- Connect GREEN or BARE wire to the GROUND terminal (green screw).
PL20R DIAGRAM CODE LEARNING
BEFORE Installing the sensor onto the ceiling, you must pair all
receptacles with the PLBPC ceiling sensor. Six receptacles are recommended per
sensor.
- Remove the battery from the PLBPC sensor.
- Power on the receptacles once they’re all connected and wall plates are installed.
- Press and hold the “LEARN” button for 15 seconds on the receptacle.
- Once the receptacle is in LEARN mode, install both batteries into the PLBPC sensor. NOTE: The receptacles will be in LEARN mode for about 45 seconds.
- Wait a few seconds for the receptacle to pair with the PLBPC.
- Repeat steps 1-5 for each receptacle to be paired (Multiple receptacles can be paired simultaneously)
- Test all receptacles to ensure that they’re operating correctly.
- Install ceiling sensor onto ceiling.
MOUNTING PLBPC
- Secure the mounting bracket to the ceiling using provided screws, anchors and double-sided tape.
- Align the latch on the sensor to the mounting bracket.
- Latch the sensor by turning it counter-clockwise.
