Energy Efficient Lighting With a High Bay Sensor
Adding a multifunction motion sensor to your high bay fixture can save you energy and money. The lights will only turn on when there are living things around, and they will remain off the rest of the time.
The sensor mounts directly into your lighting fixture and provides multi-level control based on daylight and motion. It controls 0-10 VDC LED drivers and dimming ballasts.
Occupancy Sensors
A motion sensor is the smart choice for your high bay fixture, allowing you to reduce energy consumption by turning on light only when it’s needed. Detecting movement to automatically illuminate the space in your gym, warehouse or large storeroom, these wired controls are easy to install and adjust with a push-button programmable user interface. You can choose from multiple operating modes and adjustable time delays (as little as 15 seconds up to 20 minutes).
The CM family of ceiling mount occupancy sensors is powered by line voltage and features a variety of lens options for your mounting height and coverage pattern requirements. They use 100% digital Intelligent power supply passive infrared (PIR) technology and are available for a wide range of applications.
For higher mounting heights, consider the IR-TEC LOS-502SEC sensor, which is powered by line voltage and offers a broad array of operating modes, sensitivity settings and time delay adjustments. It also includes an ambient light inhibit function that prevents the lighting from turning on when natural light is present in your space.
A great option for high-bay fixture mounts, the LSFOA is a compact sensor that’s easy to integrate into your system. It can be mounted directly to an industrial fluorescent luminaire or into a junction box, using its 1/2 inch knockout. With three interchangeable lenses for either a high-bay general area, aisle way or both, and a range of sensitivity and coverage settings, this model is California Title 24 compliant.
Daylight Sensors
The perfect addition to any high bay, this plug-and-play daylight sensor is the ultimate way to control your industrial LED lighting system. Combining a microwave motion sensor and a daylight harvesting sensor, this sensor allows you to optimize the brightness of your fixtures based on the amount of natural light they’re receiving in your building. It automatically dims or turns off your high bay lights if there’s enough ambient light to meet your lighting needs.
This photocell and occupancy sensor installs directly to the ceiling of your warehouse, manufacturing or other high-mounted industrial spaces. It can be used in conjunction with an integrated LED fixture, or with a separate high-bay dimmer switch. It has a built-in 1-10V dimming function that works in combination with a compatible 1-10V LED driver or ballast. This sensor has a wide field-of-view and supports mounting heights up to 40 feet.
When a source of heat is detected in the monitored space, it will turn the light ON. Once the scheduled time delay has expired, it will turn the light OFF. The sensor will also sense the level of ambient light and adjust its settings if necessary. The settings are adjustable, so you can customize your high-bay lighting to fit your specific needs. This sensor is UL listed and meets CSA 22.2 No. 205 requirements for use in warehouses, storage areas and similar high-mount installations.
Motion Sensors
High bay motion sensors mount directly into a lighting fixture to provide multi-level control based on both daylight and motion. They work with 0-10 VDC LED drivers or dimming ballasts and are rated for wet locations.
Integrated motion sensor technology allows the light to be powered on only when movement is detected, instead of constantly cycling on and off. This drastically cuts energy consumption and reduces maintenance costs.
This daylight harvesting high bay sensor is ideal for warehouses, large storage spaces and other indoor high-bay areas. It mounts from 8-50 feet off the ground and comes with two interchangeable Fresnel lenses for optimal coverage. It has adjustable sensitivity, time delay and light level settings to make it perfect for your space.
This high bay photocell and motion sensor is easy to install and plug-and-play for new construction or retrofit applications. It meets new CA Title 24 requirements for bi-level control and features dual-element passive infrared (PIR) motion detection technology for improved detection coverage. It also has an adjustable switch-off delay of 30 seconds to 2 minutes and consumes only 0.25 watts in standby mode.
Wireless Controls
Whether wired or wireless, occupancy sensors offer significant energy savings over traditional timer controls in spaces that are occupied intermittently. Occupancy-driven lighting controls are especially cost effective in stairwells, break rooms, conference rooms and restrooms. They can also reduce energy use in offices, which are becoming more intermittently occupied due to telecommuting and mobile work arrangements. But, they are less likely to be cost-effective in office spaces that have steady occupant traffic and require lighting on a predetermined schedule.
Wireless occupancy sensors offer a cost-effective option for many locations where hardwiring is impractical or impossible, such as warehouses, manufacturing and industrial facilities with skylights. Some wireless models include a photocell for daylight harvesting to further reduce energy costs.
Unlike most wired occupancy sensors, which require wiring High Bay Sensor to the light fixture, wireless sensors communicate with the fixture using radio frequency and connect directly to the LED driver or dimming ballast. This eliminates the need for additional receptacles, and makes installation faster and easier. Wireless sensors are easy to move and reset if the space’s use changes.
The Daintree WHS20 sensor is included as an integrated component in many Albeo high bay fixtures and offers both occupancy sensing and 0-10V dimming control, making it ideal for retrofits or new construction. It is easily programmed in standalone Daintree ONE mode with the optional WHR1 remote and can be upgraded to full functioning Daintree Networked for building scheduling and energy monitoring.
