Then test the unit by occupying the furniture. When the unit detects occ u pa n cy
the unit will transmit this status via Zigbee (blu e LED) and the green LED will
flash every 5 or 6 seconds while occupied. When unoccupied the green LED will
stop flashing, and the status will be reported via Zigbee.

Commissioning

- Once powered up the sensor will automatically join the Zigbee network.

Operation

In normal operation the user need not i ntera c t with the occupancy detector, as it is
normally controlled remotely via Zigbee and automatically calibrates itself.
Please note that the sensor is designe d to re sist false occupancy, such as someone
throwing a purse or small bag on a bed, or a ca t j umping up on a chair. As such it may
take up to a minute to finally report an occupied or unoccupied state.

Changing batteries

The device uses standard AA alkaline batteries. Always replace b oth ba tte ries at the
same time. Always use fresh new batteries of the same brand. The battery compartment
is exposed by twisting a quarter in the sl ot a t th e en d of the case, and then pulling apart.
Make note of the polarity markings in the battery enclosure.
