INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

PL20R and PLBPC

COVERAGE

Wireless Plug Load Control

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

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.

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.

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.

•

Make sure the sensor's view of the entrances is not blocked by the door
when it is opened.

•

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

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).

MOUNTING PLBPC

1. Secure the mounting bracket to the ceiling using provided screws, anchors and
double-sided tape.

2. Align the latch on the sensor to the mounting bracket.

3. Latch the sensor by turning it counter-clockwise.

OPERATING THE SENSOR AND RECEPTACLE(S)

Operating

The "Always ON" receptacles will always have power as long as the circuit
breaker is ON. The "Controlled"receptacles will turn ON and stay ON as long
as motion is detected and turn off 30 minutes after the last motion detected.

The "Controlled" receptacle can also be operated manually by pushing the
manual override button located on the receptacle.

Low Battery Indicator

The LED indicator on the sensor will flash constantly when the battery on the
sensor is running low.

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.

1. Remove the battery from the PLBPC sensor.

2. Power on the receptacles once they're all connected and wall plates are installed.

3. Press and hold the "LEARN" button for 15 seconds on the receptacle.

4. Once the receptacle is in LEARN mode,
sensor. NOTE: The receptacles will be in LEARN mode for about 45 seconds.

5. Wait a few seconds for the receptacle to pair with the PLBPC.

6. Repeat steps 1-5 for each receptacle to be paired (Multiple receptacles can be
paired simultaneously)

7. Test all receptacles to ensure that they're operating correctly.

8. Install ceiling sensor onto ceiling.

install both batteries into the PLBPC
