Description/Operation
The Ultrasonic Sensor uses the Doppler principle. It produces a
low intensity, inaudible sound and detects changes in sound waves
caused by motion, such as walking into the room, reaching for the
telephone or turning in a chair. They are volumetric in nature and
therefore not line-of-sight dependant. Since they fill the space with
these sound waves, they are excellent in bathrooms with stalls,
enclosed hallways, or other oddly shaped rooms. In addition, they
are much more sensitive to smaller motions. The sensor includes
self-adaptive technology that continuously self-adjusts sensitivity
and Time Delay in real-time, maximizing the potential energy savings
that are available in the particular application. The lights are turned
ON by activating a momentary switch (model # GMDS-*) that is
connected to the sensor. The MicroSet Ultrasonic Low Voltage
Ceiling Sensor has an ambient light level sensor. When enabled, the
Daylighting feature prevents lights from turning ON when the room
is adequately illuminated by natural light.

OAC AND VAC MANUAL MODE OPERATION:
1. SWITCHES ARE REQUIRED TO TURN
CORRESPONDING LOADS ON.
2. LOADS TURN OFF WHEN SENSOR
TIMES OUT OR WITH SWITCHES.
3. IF DAYLIGHT SENSOR IS ENABLED AND
LIGHT LEVEL IS ABOVE SETPOINT,
SWITCHPACK CONNECTED TO YELLOW
LEAD WILL NOT TURN LOAD ON.
OAC AUTOMATIC MODE OPERATION:
1. WHEN SENSOR ACTIVATES, BOTH
LOADS TURN ON.
2. SWITCHES CAN BE USED TO TURN
LOADS ON OR OFF.
3. IF DAYLIGHT SENSOR IS ENABLED AND
LIGHT LEVEL IS ABOVE SETPOINT,
SWITCHPACK CONNECTED TO YELLOW
LEAD WILL NOT TURN LOAD ON.
