Overview

The Unison Paradigm® Occupancy Sensor is a ceiling mounted sensor that
utilizes passive infrared (PIR) technology, providing reliable vacancy and
occupancy detection for lighting control. Paradigm Occupancy Sensors
integrate with Paradigm lighting control systems, providing energy efficient
lighting control solutions.

Each sensor is available in neutral white or black finish. Lens masks are
provided to allow customized occupancy detection fields as required by each
installation.

Wire Specification

The Paradigm Occupancy Sensor utilizes LinkConnect to power the sensor and
to provide data to and from the connected Paradigm control system.
LinkConnect is topology-free and polarity independent. You can install your
data runs in any desired combination of bus, star, loop, and home-run. ETC
recommends using Belden 8471 (or equivalent) wire. The total combined
length of a LinkConnect wire run may not exceed 1,640 feet (500m), with a
maximum distance of 1,312 feet (400m) between any two devices.

All control wiring should be installed and terminated by a qualified installer
and should follow standard wiring installation practices and meet local codes.
Leave approximately 10 inches (254mm) of wiring in the junction box or tied
back in the ceiling to allow for wiring connections and future service needs.

Note:

ETC requires that all sensors be grounded by using a 14 AWG
(2.5mm

2

) ESD drain wire.

The Paradigm Occupancy Sensor provides 360 degree coverage
of the installed location and is available in three models:

• P-OCC-SR- Occupancy Sensor with small room lens
covers 450 sq. ft. at 8 ft. (41.8m

2

at 2.4m) / 800 sq. ft. at

12 ft (74.3m2 at 6.65m).

• P-OCC - Occupancy Sensor with standard room lens
covers 1,800 sq. ft. at 8 ft. (167m

2

at 2.4m)/ 3,000 sq. ft.

at 12 ft. (279m2 at 6.65m).

• P-OCC-HC - Occupancy Sensor with high ceiling lens
covers 350 sq. ft. at 12 ft. (32.5m

2

at 2.4m)/ 7,000 sq. ft.

at 40 ft. (650m2 at 12.2m)

Installation Environment

Paradigm Occupancy Sensors are intended for installation to a finished ceiling
surface, ceiling tile mounted, attached to a round fixture junction box or
single-gang RACO switch box. The sensor operates in ambient temperatures
of -10°C to 40°C, non-condensing humidity.

ETC recommends paying special attention to the installation environment:

• 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. If the installation location cannot avoid these
conditions, portions of the lens can be masked to block the sensor view
of these undesired areas. Reference Lens Masking on page 5.

Power Up and Test

Power Up

For power to be applied to the Paradigm Occupancy Sensor, any additional
LinkConnect terminations for the system must also be made. In addition, the
Paradigm Architectural Control Processor (P-ACP) and Station Power
Module (P-SPM) must be installed in the host DRd or ERn rack enclosure.

When the sensor is powered up the PIR LED will illuminate for one minute for
calibration and warm-up, then will return to normal operation and enter walk
test mode if desired.

Binding Sensors to Paradigm

The Paradigm Architectural Control Processor (P-ACP) to which this sensor is
physically wired to must learn, or be told, the station hardware address
(known as a neuron ID). When the sensor is unbound from the connected
P-ACP, the service pin LED blinks.

The neuron ID is labeled on the sensor control board and can be manually
entered into the configuration using LightDesigner software. Alternatively, the
sensor can be identified using the [Service Pin] button (designated with “S”
on the button) and by the connected Paradigm ACP using its [LonWorks
Connections] menu. Reference the related source documentation, either the

LightDesigner Online Help System or the Unison Paradigm Architectural
Control Processor Configuration Manual, specifically the section on Arch Setup

Menu, LonWorks Connections.

Test

Unison Paradigm Occupancy Sensors offer a Walk Test mode which shortens
the vacancy / no occupancy timer to 10 seconds, allowing for simple and quick
verification of the sensors coverage and range in the installed space.

Walk-Test mode automatically exits and the sensor returns to normal
operation after five minutes and can be manually terminated early by pressing
the [Walk Test] or [Service Pin] button on the sensor or alternatively by
clicking on the “Wink” command in LightDesigner.

ETC Installation Guide

Occupancy Sensor

Occupancy Sensor Installation Guide Page 7 of 8 Electronic Theatre Controls, Inc.

Enable Walk Test Mode

Step 1: Prepare the site for configuration.

a: Make certain the sensor and lighting loads are powered

and connected for control by the Paradigm control

system.
b: You will need direct access to the Paradigm Occupancy

Sensor in order to place it into walk test mode.

Alternatively, you can invoke the walk test mode by

sending a Wink command from the connected Paradigm

control system. Reference the LightDesigner Online Help

System for instructions to send a Wink command.

Step 2: Press the [Walk Test] button on

the front of the sensor to enable
the walk test feature at the
sensor. A green LED will begin to
flash, indicating the walk test is
enabled and the vacancy / no
vacancy occupancy timer will be
shortened to 10 seconds.

Step 3: Move throughout the space

including corners and areas that
may specifically be obscured
from line of sight to the sensor. Each time the sensor detects
movement, the lens will illuminate red.

Step 4: Adjust the lens masking, if installed, blocking certain areas of

the installed space from sensor detection. See Lens Masking on

page 5.

Step 5: Walk test mode will automatically exit after five minutes from

the time it was enabled. To manually exit the walk test mode,
press either of the buttons on the sensor.

Note:

The sensor must be connected and bound to the Paradigm
Architectural Control Processor (P-ACP) in order to enable Walk
Test Mode. See “Binding Sensors to Paradigm” on page 6.

Verify Vacancy Operation

For systems that have been configured for the installed sensor to control
specific lighting circuits, walk test mode can also be used to verify vacancy
operation.

Step 1: Confirm the installing technician has programmed the lighting

control system.

Step 2: Enable walk test mode using the instruction above (see Enable

Walk Test Mode).

Step 3: With walk test mode enabled, exit the room for 15 seconds to

allow the 10 second timer to expire.

Step 4: Re-enter the room and confirm the configured vacancy / no

occupancy state was properly recalled.

Step 5: Walk test mode will automatically exit after five minutes from

the time it was enabled. To manually exit the walk test mode,
press either of the buttons on the sensor.

Note:

When in walk test mode, status LEDs will always behave as
indicated above, even if they have been programmed to be
off by the system configuration.
