Wire Specification
The Dual Tech Wall-mount Vacancy Sensor connects to the EchoConnect
communication bus. EchoConnect is a bi-directional protocol that uses
one pair of wires (data+ and data–) for both data and power. Echoflex
recommends using Belden 8471 Class 2 wire (or approved equal – see the
Echoflex cable cross database echoflexsolutions.com/files/Elaho_Data_
Cable_Wire_Specs for equal alternatives). The total combined length of
an EchoConnect wire run using Belden 8471 may not exceed 500m
(1,640ft), with a maximum distance of 400m(1,312ft) between any two
devices.
Note: All control wiring should be installed and terminated by a
qualified installer and should follow standard wiring installation
practices. Leave approximately 25.4cm (10in) of wiring in the
back box for connection and to allow slack for future service
needs.
Note: Echoflex requires that all stations and devices be grounded
for ESDprotection. Pull an additional 2.5 mm2(14AWG) 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 Kits and must be installed using a bus topology.
Refer to the instructions 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.
Supplies
The following supplies are provided with the sensor:
• mounting bracket with pre-routed EchoConnect and ground wires
• 2 each mounting screws, 6-32x3/4in and 6-32x1 3/4in

Settings
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: When the sensor is placed into Custom configuration
mode, DIP switch 2 set to On, all other DIP switch settings are
ignored.
Note: The [MODE] and Auxiliary [A] 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 sensor electronics provide for Space and
Address assignment for the sensor. 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.

DIP Switches
DIP switches on the sensor electronics provide for additional
configuration options including Use Custom Config, Vacancy Timeout,
Enable/Disable detection LEDs, PIR Only Mode, and the ability to restore
the sensor to its factory defaults.
Switch # Use
1Unused (leave Off)
2Enable/Disable Custom Config Mode
• When “Custom Config” is set to On (the default
setting), all other local DIP switch settings are
ignored. Instead, the settings made by the
ElahoAccess App are used.
• When “Custom Config” is set to Off, also known as
Basic configuration mode, the local DIP switch
settings for Vacancy Timeout, Enable PIR LED, and
dual technology features are used. See Configuration
on page 8 .
3 and 4 Vacancy Timeout
• 5 min = Switches 3 and 4 are Off
• 15 min = Switch 3 is Off and Switch 4 is On (default)
• 30 min = Switch 3 is On and Switch 4 is Off
• Auto = Both switches are On
5Detection LEDs
• When set to On (the default setting), the occupancy
detection LEDs illuminate when movement is
detected.
• When set to Off, the occupancy detection LEDs are
disabled unless the unit is in Walk Test mode.
6PIR Only Mode
• When set to On, acoustic detection technology is
disabled for the sensor.
• When set to Off (the default setting), both PIR and
acoustic detection technologies are used by the
sensor.
7Unused (leave Off)
8Restore to Defaults at boot
• When set to On and power is cycled to the sensor,
the unit restores to its factory default settings.
• Off is the default setting.

Power Up
All EchoConnect terminations in the system must be made before
applying power to the system and sensor. When the sensor is powered,
the PIR and acoustic detection LEDs illuminate for one minute for
calibration and warm-up, and then return to normal operation according
to the configuration.
Both the PIR and acoustic detection features of the sensor will
automatically adjust the sensitivity threshold to eliminate nuisance
tripping. During this time, configuration is not allowed and no events are
triggered.
Operation
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.
Configuration
Basic
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.

Dual Tech Wall-mount Vacancy Sensor
Custom
When functionality other than Space Off is required, place the sensor in
Custom configuration mode (DIP switch 2 set to On, the default setting).
Customization of the sensor and all actions are configured using the
ElahoAccess App. For more detailed information about custom
configuration options available, see the ElahoAccess App integrated help
system.
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
Switches 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
10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 flashes, indicating Walk Test is
enabled and the vacancy timer is shortened to 10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 illuminates 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.
