Description

The A+CLASS™ ceiling-mounted occupancy sensor combines ultrasonic (US) and passive infrared (PIR) technologies to turn lighting on and o
based on occupancy. The sensor features Hubbell’s patented IntelliDAPT™ technology, which makes all the sensor’s adjustments automatically.
Throughout the product’s lifespan, smart software analyzes the controlled area and makes digital adjustment to sensitivity and timer settings
providing maintenance-free “Install and Forget” operation.

precAUtions

• CAUTION: FOR USE WITH CLASS 2, LOW VOLTAGE SYSTEMS ONLY. DO NOT USE IN HIGH VOLTAGE APPLICATIONS.

• Read and understand all instructions before beginning installation.

• NOTICE: For installation by a licensed electrician in accordance with National and/or local Electrical Codes.

• NOTICE: For indoor use only.

• CAUTION: USE COPPER CONDUCTOR ONLY.

• Conrm device ratings are suitable for application prior to installation. Use of device in applications beyond its specied ratings or in
applications other than its intended use may cause an unsafe condition and will void manufacturer’s warranty.

• NOTICE: Do not install if any damage to product is noticed.

• The sensor must have an unobstructed view of the room. Do not mount behind or near tall cabinets, shelves, hanging xtures, etc.

• Keep the sensor away from air ow – at least 8 feet from HVAC vents.

• Place the sensor 8-10 ft. away from doorway – pointing towards doorway for optimal occupant detection.

• Closely follow the diagrams for major and minor motion coverage.

• Decrease total coverage area by 15% for “soft” rooms (for example, heavy draperies or heavy carpeting).

• Indicated range is when unit is mounted on ceilings 8'-12' in height. Sensor should not be mounted on ceilings above 12'.

Technical Installation Data

4. Plug the 50 ft. White CAT5 cable into either of the two available White connector ports on the Classroom Control Module (See Figure J).

Fig. J

CCM Low Voltage CAT5 Connector Ports (line voltage not visible in this image;

no line voltage connection required for occupancy sensor)

5. Route the White cable from the Classroom Control Module to the Occupancy Sensor.
Note: Low voltage wiring must be isolated from line voltage wiring. Consult National and Local Electrical Codes for conduit requirements.

6. Plug the White cable QTI connector into the Occupancy Sensor’s QTI connector (See Figures K and L).

Fig. K

7. Perform system setup and/or programming activities as applicable in accordance with the instructions of the Classroom Control Module.

8. Verify Occupancy Sensor functionality by checking System Status/Occupancy Sensor on the Classroom Control Module.
Real-time occupied/unoccupied states will be displayed if operating properly. If occupancy states do not change, check wiring.

9. If desired, to disconnect Occupancy Sensor from White CCM cable, press down on the upper tab on the connection (located on the White
cable side of the QTI connector). Gently pull the two sides of the QTI connector apart (See Figures M and N).

RECOMMENDATION: Leave sensitivity
settings as shipped.

Factory settings rarely need to be
changed. In the unlikey event it is
necessary to change a setting, the
following instructions can be used.

Red Knob: Infrared Sensitivity – 75% default
Green Knob: Ultrasonic Range – 50% default
Black Knob: Timer – 8 min. default

2. Rotate the black timer adjustment knob clockwise all the way (12 o’clock) (See Figure R), then turn counterclockwise all the way (as seen in
gure O).

3. The timer will remain in the 8 second test mode for 1 hour, then automatically reset to 8 minutes.

4. To manually take the timer out of the 8 second test mode, turn the timer adjustment approximately ⁄" (1.6 mm) clockwise to make the
setting slightly above minimum (just above the 8 minute setting).
