EarthTronics Introduces EarthConnect Low-Voltage Dual-Tech Ceiling Sensor to Provide High Accuracy and Wide Coverage

New sensor features circadian rhythm settings that are especially beneficial in educational and long-term care applications where light CCT management may impact occupants

NORTON SHORES, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EarthTronics, dedicated to developing innovative energy-saving lighting products that provide a positive economic and environmental impact, introduces the EarthConnect Dual-Technology Ceiling Sensor, a Bluetooth^® mesh network lighting control with a dual-tech occupancy sensor that combines PIR and ultrasonic technologies to provide high accuracy and 600 square-foot coverage.

The EarthConnect Dual-Technology Ceiling Sensor features two sensor technologies that work seamlessly together when movement is detected. The ceiling sensor controls both single-channel and dual-channel LED drivers, providing color tuning as well as dimming functions. It has circadian rhythm settings that are especially beneficial in educational and long-term care applications where light CCT management may impact occupant behavior. This ceiling sensor controls daylight harvesting, as well as on-off light scheduling, when used with other EarthConnect controllers. It is easily integrated with groups of fixtures working seamlessly together with other EarthConnect wireless devices for unlimited application possibilities.

The EarthConnect Dual-Technology Ceiling Sensor enhances lighting efficiency to increase productivity and reduce waste, maximizes energy savings, improves comfort, and achieves building code compliance. Its functionality includes quick wireless grouping, as well as scene-setting, full-range dimming and scheduling. The sensor is designed for accurate motion detection for rooms that are 600 sq. ft. in size.

Available in a white plastic housing, the EarthConnect Dual Technology Ceiling Sensor is easily installed in ceilings and accommodates mounting heights ranging from 8 feet to 20 feet. The sensor is IP21 rated for indoor use. It operates on 120/277VAC. It is scalable so that facilities of nearly any size can benefit from a mesh network control solution—from small-sized to large complex office buildings.

FCC, RoHS and UL8750 listed, the EarthConnect Area Light Sensor will perform in temperatures ranging from -22°F (30°C) to 131°F (55°C) and comes with a five-year warranty. The system is ideal for new construction, renovation or lighting retrofit projects.
