PRODUCT OVERVIEW
CO
-PIR-ZN-5000 COV-PIR-RTU-5000
The VI-PIR Accessory covers with embedded Passive Infra-Red motion detector have been specifically designed to work with all
compatible VT7000 series thermostats. Thermostats compatible with VI-PIR covers use the following part number assignments:
VT7xxxxX5x00(X). The 5 identifies the thermostat base thermostat has the necessary onboard polarized PIR connector and
functionality added.
When equipped with a VI-PIR accessory cover, a VT7000 series thermostat provides advanced active occupancy logic, which will
automatically switches occupancy levels from Occupied to Stand-By and Unoccupied as required by local activity being present or
not. This advanced occupancy functionality provides advantageous energy savings during occupied hours without sacrificing
occupant comfort.

Commissioning
Visual indication (Status of
PIR Warm up period PIR Sensor may take up-to 60 seconds after initial
warm up period to detect movement consistent with
typical detection pattern.
Visual indication of PIR activity for commissioning has

been provided via a blinking LEDs located on the
Fig.3
thermostat cover under the PIR lens. LEDs will be
active while occupant is in field of detection pattern for
a period of 30 minutes after initial power up.
VI-PIR COVER INSTALLATION
• Remove security screw on the bottom of the current thermostat cover.
• Open up by pulling on the bottom side of thermostat. (Fig. 3)
A) Identify current thermostat model type:
Fig.4
• Use appropriate cover accessory part number as identified on the first page by referring to the thermostat
model number
• The male polarized PIR connector is located at bottom left corner of thermostat (Fig. 4)
B) Installation:
• Hinge new PIR thermostat cover into position (fig. 3).
• Insert polarized connector into PIR female connector located on thermostat base (Fig 4 & 6)
• Snap PIR thermostat cover into place and re-install the security screw (Fig 5)
