EPV Occupancy Sensors

Turn the lights off - it's costing too much!

Why can Occupancy Sensors save you energy? 

Basically, Occupancy Sensors are extremely sensitive PIR Motion Sensors. They can detect much finer movements and also are a lot smaller. This makes them suitable for demanding application such as offices, schools and residential installations in which standard motion sensors do not perform reliably and will create complaints.

How do they work?

Occupancy Sensors automatically turn lights on when a room is occupied and off when a room is vacant. Although simple in concept Occupancy Sensing is probably the single most effective energy saving strategy. Energy saving could not be easier!

The affordable and easy first step to Home Automation

For energy saving lighting a full Home Automation system is not necessary. Decentral, reliable lighting controls often do a much better job (less configuration, less maintenance).

EPV Occupancy Sensors are your elegant, effective and simple first step towards saving energy in your building.

Where can they be used?

Typical applications:

• Offices
• Bathrooms, toilets
• Hotels
• Corridors
• Classrooms
• Conference rooms
• Storage areas
• Walk-In robes
• Kids' rooms (as an Auto-OFF function)

What's special about EPV Occupancy Sensors? 

Two things: sensitivity and size.

The first unique benefit of EPV sensors is their very good sensitivity. This is a result from EPV's innovative approach to the sensorhead design. This has delivered an impressive improvement in sensitivity and reliability. At the same they are practically immune to mistriggerings due to electromagnetic interferences or drafts of air through the sensor.

EPV Occupancy Sensors are specifically designed for very demanding applications, e.g. persons working concentratedly at PCs.

The primitive “Motion Sensing" approach with very large and bulky sensors has been transformed into a completely new type of product. Motion Sensors are simpler and less sensitive (and often much larger) and can be used when larger amplitudes of motion are available (such as in corridors or driveways).

The second unique benefit is the extremely small size. Architects and interior designers strongly dislike large bulky sensors in the ceiling - it destroys their clear lines and careful design. Therefore, any sensor should integrate unobtrusively into the ceiling. EPV sensors do just that - they are hardly visible.

Summary of key benefits of EPV sensors

• Extremely sensitive
• Very small, very unobtrusive
• Easy and quick to install
• High energy savings, often in excess of 50%
• Wide range of types to match your requirements
