PROJECT INFORMATION
OCCUPANCY SENSOR - APCS
OVERVIEW
The A+CLASS™ APCS-OS occupancy sensor
ships standard, one per classroom, as part of the
A+CLASS™ energy management lighting and
control system. APCS-OS combines ultrasonic
(US) and passive infrared (PIR) technologies to
turn lighting on and o based on occupancy.
This dual technology provides accurate turn-ons
while virtually eliminating false-os. This sensor
features patented IntelliDAPT technology, which
makes all the sensor adjustments automatically.
Throughout the product’s lifespan, smart
software analyzes the controlled area and makes
digital adjustments to sensitivity and timer
settings. Occupancy sensors with IntelliDAPT
provide a maintenance-free “Install and Forget”
operation.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
IntelliDAPT technology
— Sensor automatically determines the ideal
setting for an area
— Excellent false trip immunity (for improved
accuracy)
— No manual sensitivity and timer adjustments
required
— Provides a maintenance-free “Install and
Forget” operation.
All-digital dual technology (ultrasonic
[US] and passive infrared
— Superior US minor-motion detection with
excellent PIR long [PIR]) sensor range major-
motion detection
— Non-volatile memory for sensor settings
— Learned and adjusted settings will not be lost
during power outages
— Optional RP ying leads (RP) for connection
to HVAC if desired
Plug & Play Quick to Install™ (QTI)
connector
— Dramatically reduces installation costs by
removing the time consuming process of
manually wiring a sensor to a power pack
— Easy to install; fast and ecient; no cutting,
stripping, or wire nuts required
