Ambient
For indoor, commercial controls use only. The sensor operates in ambient
temperatures of -10°C to 40°C, with a maximum of 90% non-condensing
humidity.
Installation
Echoflex recommends paying special attention to the installation
environment:
•
When operating in PIR only modes, the sensor must have an
unobstructed view of the room. Do not mount behind or near tall
cabinets, shelves, hanging light fixtures, etc.
•
Do not install the sensor within eight feet from an HVAC airflow
duct/vent.
•
Install the sensor where it cannot easily sense movement in areas
outside of the intended space, such as hallways, glass partitions, or
adjacent rooms.
Note: In areas of increased noise activity, enabling PIR only mode may
allow for better occupancy detection results. See DIP Switch Settings on
page 7.

Dual Tech Vacancy Sensor
Control Wire Specification
The sensor connects to the EchoConnect®communication bus. EchoConnect is
a bidirectional protocol that uses one pair of wires (data+ and data-) for both
data and power. Echoflex recommends using Belden 8471 (or approved equal)
Class 2 wire. The total combined length of an EchoConnect wire run (using
Belden 8471, or equal) may not exceed 1,640feet (500m).
Note: All control wiring should be installed and terminated by a
qualified installer and should follow standard wiring installation practices.
Leave approximately 8" (20cm) of wiring in the back box for connection
and to allow slack for future service needs.
Note: Echoflex requires that all Elaho stations and devices be grounded
for ESDprotection. Pull an additional 14AWG (2.5 mm2) wire for
grounding when control wires are not installed in grounded metal conduit.
Note: When using Category 5 (or equivalent) cable on the EchoConnect
communication bus, please note the following:
•
Cat5 wiring must be terminated using EchoConnect Cat5
Termination Kit and must be installed using a bus topology.
Refer to the installation guide that is provided with the Cat5
Termination Kit (8186A1207) for information to terminate
Cat5 wiring.
•
Not all topologies are supported using Cat5; careful planning
is required to ensure the proper termination kits are available
and the wire is pulled appropriately.

Sensor Configuration
MODE AUX
The Elaho Dual Tech Wall-mount Vacancy
Sensor participates in an Elaho control
system using the configured Space and
Address, which are selectable using the
rotary switches on the sensor electronics
located behind the removable cover.
DIPswitches, also located on the sensor
electronics, set the sensor functionality.
Note: The [MODE] and [AUX] buttons, and their related LEDs, are not
used and have no functionality on the Dual Tech Wall-mount Vacancy
Sensor.
Set Space and Address
Two rotary switches on the controller provide for assignment of the sensor
Space and Address. By default, these switches are set to Space 1, 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.

Power Up and Test
Power Up
All EchoConnect terminations in the system must be made before applying
power to the system and sensor. When the sensor is powered up, the PIR and
acoustic detection LEDs illuminate for one minute for calibration and warm-
up, then return to normal operation according to the configuration.
Both the PIR and acoustic detection features of the sensor will automatically
adjust sensitivity threshold to eliminate nuisance tripping. During this time,
sensor configuration is not allowed and no events are triggered.
Dual Technology
When both PIR and acoustic detection are used, the following logic is used:
•
When the space is vacant, only manual control can switch the state to
occupied.
•
When the space is occupied, PIR, acoustic detection, and manual
control can reset the vacancy timeout.
•
When the vacancy timeout in the space has only been reset by acoustic
detection for 60 minutes, acoustic detection is disabled until the next
PIR detection event.
PIR (only) Detection
When acoustic detection is disabled (DIP switch 6 set to On), the following
logic is used:
•
When the space is vacant, only manual control can switch the state to
occupied.
•
When the space is occupied, PIR detection and manual control can
reset the vacancy timeout.
Basic Configuration
When the sensor is in Basic configuration mode (DIP switch 2 set to Off), the
sensor will activate a Space Off command when vacancy is detected.
Custom Configuration Mode
When functionality other than Space Off is required, place the sensor in
Custom configuration mode (DIP switch 2 set to On). Customization of the
sensor and all actions are configured using the ElahoAccess Mobile App.
For more detailed information about custom configuration options available
using ElahoAccess, see the ElahoAccess Mobile App integrated help system.

Dual Tech Vacancy Sensor
Vacancy Timeout
Vacancy timeout is the amount of time the sensor waits to take action after
no 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; see DIP Switch Settings
on page 7 ). When the vacancy timeout ends, the grace period begins.
When the sensor detects vacancy, the vacancy timeout period begins. If the
sensor does not detect occupancy again during the vacancy timeout period,
the lights turn off and a 30 second grace period begins.
Grace Period
The sensor features a 30 second grace period after a vacancy timeout occurs.
During this grace period, if the sensor detects occupancy, it will turn on or
restore the previous lighting condition.
Auto Vacancy Timeout
The “Auto” vacancy timeout setting varies the vacancy timeout between
5 and 30 minutes depending on how often it identifies an occupancy trigger
after a vacancy timeout occurs (during the grace period).

Walk Test
The sensor offers a Walk Test mode, which shortens the vacancy timer to ten
seconds and allows for simple and quick verification of the sensor’s coverage
and range in the installed space.
[Walk Test]
button
1. Prepare the site for configuration.
a. Make certain the sensor and lighting loads are powered and
connected for control by the Elaho control system.
b. You will need direct access to the sensor in order to place it into
Walk Test mode.
2. Press the [Walk Test] button on the bottom of the sensor to enable
the Walk Test feature. A green LED will flash, indicating Walk Test is
enabled and the vacancy timer will be shortened to ten seconds.
3. Move throughout the space including corners and areas that may be
obscured from line of sight to the sensor. Each time the sensor detects
movement, the lens illuminates red. If acoustic detection is enabled,
any sound detected will illuminate the lens green.
4. As needed, adjust the angle of the sensor head to obtain optimal
detection in the space.
5. Walk Test mode automatically exits and the sensor returns to normal
operation after five minutes. You can also manually terminate by
pressing the [Walk Test] button again.
