Lutron LRF2-OCRB-P-WH Radio Powr Savr Wireless Ceiling-Mounted Occupancy/Vacancy Sensor User Manual

1. Introduction

The Lutron LRF2-OCRB-P-WH Radio Powr Savr Wireless Ceiling-Mounted Occupancy/Vacancy Sensor is designed to automate lighting control, contributing to energy savings. This sensor detects occupancy using XCT passive infrared fine motion detecting technology, automatically turning lights on when a room is entered and off after it is vacated. It is engineered for easy installation and can wirelessly control up to 10 compatible Lutron dimmers or switches.

2. Safety Information

Please read and understand all instructions before installation and use. Improper installation or use can result in serious injury or property damage. This device operates on battery power and communicates wirelessly. Observe the following safety precautions:

• Do not install if the product appears damaged.
• Do not use this device for purposes other than its intended use.
• Ensure proper battery insertion according to polarity markings.
• Dispose of batteries responsibly according to local regulations.
• Keep out of reach of children.

3. Product Overview

The Lutron Radio Powr Savr sensor is a wireless, battery-powered device designed for ceiling mounting. Key features include:

• Wireless Operation: No external power packs, power wiring, or communication wiring is necessary.
• Extended Range: Offers a radio frequency (RF) range of up to 60 feet between the sensor and compatible RF receiving device(s).
• Long Battery Life: Features a 10-year battery life for reliable, long-term performance.
• Advanced Lens Design: Equipped with a multiple segmented lens with internal grooves to minimize dust and residue build-up, ensuring consistent detection.
• Wide Coverage: Provides a 360° field of view, covering a 400 sq. ft. range when mounted at a 9 ft. ceiling height.
• Occupancy/Vacancy Detection: Utilizes XCT passive infrared technology for fine motion detection.

4. Setup and Installation

The LRF2-OCRB-P-WH sensor is designed for straightforward installation. Follow these general steps:

1. Select Mounting Location: Choose a ceiling location that provides an unobstructed view of the area to be monitored. Consider the 360° field of view and 400 sq. ft. range at a 9 ft. ceiling height. Avoid placing near heat sources or in direct airflow from HVAC vents, which can cause false triggers.
2. Mount the Sensor: Securely mount the sensor to the ceiling using the provided hardware. Ensure it is stable and correctly oriented.
3. Insert Battery: Open the battery compartment and insert the lithium battery, observing the correct polarity.
4. Pair with Compatible Devices: Follow the pairing instructions for your specific Lutron dimmers, switches, or light control systems. This typically involves a simple synchronization process to establish wireless communication between the sensor and the lighting control device(s). The sensor can control up to 10 compatible devices within its 60 ft RF range.
5. Test Operation: After pairing, test the sensor's functionality by entering and exiting the detection area to confirm that lights turn on and off as expected.

5. Operating Instructions

Once installed and paired, the Lutron LRF2-OCRB-P-WH sensor operates automatically:

• Occupancy Detection: When motion is detected within the sensor's 360° field of view, it sends a wireless signal to the paired Lutron dimmers or switches, causing the lights to turn on. The XCT passive infrared technology is designed for fine motion detection, ensuring reliable activation.
• Vacancy Detection: After the detected area becomes vacant and no motion is sensed for a pre-set time (determined by the paired lighting control device), the sensor signals the lights to turn off, conserving energy.
• Compatibility: The sensor is compatible with Lutron dimmers, switches, and various light control systems, allowing integration into existing Lutron setups. It can control up to 10 compatible devices simultaneously.

6. Maintenance

The Lutron LRF2-OCRB-P-WH sensor requires minimal maintenance:

• Battery Replacement: The sensor is powered by a lithium battery with an average life of 10 years. When the battery is low, the sensor or paired device may indicate this. Replace the battery with a new one of the same type, ensuring correct polarity.
• Cleaning: The sensor features a multiple segmented lens with internal grooves designed to eliminate dust and residue build-up. If cleaning is necessary, gently wipe the lens with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Obstruction Check: Periodically ensure that the sensor's field of view remains unobstructed by furniture, fixtures, or other objects that could interfere with its detection capabilities.

7. Troubleshooting

If the sensor is not functioning as expected, consider the following:

• Lights Not Turning On:
  • Check if the battery needs replacement.
  • Ensure the sensor is properly paired with the lighting control device(s). Refer to the pairing instructions for your specific Lutron switch or dimmer.
  • Verify that there are no obstructions blocking the sensor's field of view.
  • Confirm that the sensor is within the 60 ft RF range of the paired device(s).
• Lights Not Turning Off:
  • Check for constant motion within the detection area that might be preventing the lights from turning off.
  • Ensure the sensor's lens is clean and free from dust or residue.
  • Verify the vacancy time-out setting on the paired lighting control device.
• False Triggers:
  • Relocate the sensor if it is near heat sources (e.g., heating vents, incandescent lights) or in direct airflow, which can cause false detections.
  • Ensure the sensor is securely mounted and not subject to vibrations.
