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.

Parts and Supplies

The following parts and supplies are included with the Unison Paradigm®
Occupancy Sensor ordered:

Installation

The Paradigm Occupancy Sensor is provided with a twist-lock mounting plate
that can be mounted to a junction box, finished ceiling or soft ceiling tile.
Determine the installation method and follow the detailed instructions:

• See “Junction Box Installation” on page 3.

• See “Soft Ceiling Tile Installation” on page 4.

• soft ceiling tile adapter • 3 position WAGO connectors

• LinkConnect & ESD ground
wire pigtails

• 2 each screws, 6-32 x 3/4” and
1 3/4”

• 3 each lens masks (spare)

Note:

The LinkConnect pigtail and WAGO connectors (provided) are
only required when the sensor is installed in series with other
stations or sensors. If you are not continuing the data run, direct
termination on the control board is recommended.

Junction Box Installation

Step 2: If you are installing the sensor in series with other sensors

or stations (continuing the data run), use the provided

LinkConnect pigtail, ESD ground pigtail and WAGO connectors
to make the terminations. If you are not continuing the data
run, proceed to step 3.

a: Strip 3/16” (5mm) of insulation from each installed LON

wire.

b: Open the three terminal levers on a WAGO connector

and insert the installed (typically black) Belden 8471
LinkConnect wire, the black lead from the sensor pigtail,
and the continuing Belden 8471 (typically black) wire into

the terminals.
c: Close the levers onto the wires.
d: Repeat the above for the installed (typically white) Belden

8471 LinkConnect wire and the remaining pigtail from

the sensor, and repeat for the ESD ground wires. Use a

new WAGO connector for each termination type.

Step 3: Orient the smooth side of the mounting plate to the junction

box and pull the Belden 8471 and the 14 AWG (2.5mm

2

) ESD
ground wire from the junction box through the provided holes
near the center of the mounting plate.

Step 4: Secure the mounting place to the junction box using the screws

provided (both short and long screws are included for
convenience).
