NOTICE
Disabled Wired Network Protocol
The RS-485 transceiver connected to pins 13 and 14 is not installed on Room Controllers with part number SER8350A5N11, thus disabling the wired network protocol (BACnet MS/TP or Modbus). The network screens and the optional Wi-Fi protocol BACnet/IP will still operate normally.
When ordering, make sure the Room Controller specifications comply with your system design.
Appendix A. Deployment
The placement of the Room Controller must be given consideration. It is recommended to install the Room Controller as close to a door as possible (without being blocked by the door), or in an area with high occupant movement.
Ideally, the Room Controller should be installed 5 feet (1.5 meters) above the floor surface to ensure maximum detection range is achieved. As well, Room Controller placement should ensure the occupant crosses the lens beam in a perpendicular path within the prescribed detection zone.
A.1 Example of Recommended Deployment
Visual Description: Diagrams show recommended installation locations for Room Controllers in two rooms (examination room and waiting room). The diagrams illustrate optimal placement relative to doors, traffic flow, and detection zones.
The examination room shows one Room Controller installed adjacent to the door, where occupant traffic is high, ensuring lateral detection.
The waiting room shows one Room Controller installed beside a door in the middle of the room, covering high traffic areas like the entrance, waiting room, and reception desk.
Visual Description: A graphic labeled "Recommended Installation" shows floor plans with shaded areas indicating PIR detection zones.
A.2 Example of Non-Recommended Deployment
Visual Description: Diagrams illustrate non-ideal installation locations for Room Controllers in two rooms. These show controllers placed in low-traffic areas, corners where doors might block detection, or opposite doors where movement is not lateral to the PIR sensor.
The examination room shows controllers in a low-traffic area near the door and on a wall opposite the door. The corner placement may be blocked by doors, and traffic may be minimal. The opposite placement may have detection outside the zone or movement not lateral to the PIR.
The waiting room shows controllers in a corner (risk of PIR blockage by doors) and beside the reception area (occupant traffic outside detection zone, receptionist below recommended height).
Visual Description: A graphic labeled "Non-Recommended Installation" shows floor plans with PIR detection zones indicating potential issues.
A.3 Room Controller PIR Sensor Details
The internal Room Controller PIR sensor only detects lateral movement. It cannot detect movement when a person is moving toward it. It will not detect someone seating on a chair and/or lying on the bed.
Visual Description: A diagram of a room shows the PIR sensor's detection pattern. It indicates lateral movement detection up to 1.5m/s within an 80° horizontal field of view and a range of 6 meters. It also shows a narrower 40° field of view for lateral movement detection at 1.5m/s up to 4-5 meters. The diagram also suggests placement of additional motion sensors.
- Lateral movement of 1.5m/s detected within a range of 6m and 80° field of view.
- Lateral movement of 1.5m/s detected within a range of 4-5m and 40° field of view.
- Areas for potential additional motion sensors are marked.
A.4 Recommendations for Installations
- Install the Room Controller to cover more lateral movement.
- Install a door sensor. The internal Room Controller occupancy logic works better with a door sensor. Once a motion is detected after a door is opened, the room stays in an occupied state until the door is opened again, which puts the Room Controller in stand-by mode. If there is motion, it goes back to occupied mode. It is also recommended to disable the unoccupied mode and set the "unoccupied time" to 0, so there are only 2 modes: stand-by and occupied for a stand-alone solution.
Visual Description: Two diagrams illustrate occupancy state transitions:
- 8000 with internal and/or external motion sensors: Shows states like Stand-by, Motion detected, No motion after stand-by time. This logic may cause a bad guest experience if a guest is sleeping or not moving.
- 8000 with door sensor, internal and/or external motion sensors: Shows states like Stand-by, Occupied, Door opened/closed & door closed for at least 15 secs. This logic provides good energy savings and better guest experience.
3. Install additional motion sensors in the bathroom.
4. Install additional motion sensors for better motion detection in the entire room.
A.5 Energy Savings
PIR can maximize your energy saving from 10-30% by adjusting temperature set points in unoccupied zones during scheduled periods.
Visual Description: A line graph titled "Typical Savings of 10-30%" shows Energy Usage (kWh) and Saving Percentage over a 24-hour period. The graph plots "Typical Consumption," "PIR Thermostat Consumption," and "Savings." The savings percentage increases significantly during occupied periods and decreases during unoccupied periods.
