C-Bus 360 Multi Sensor

Occupancy sensors


Any one installed one of these ??

Good PIR Response ?
Good IR Range ?

I assume the clipsal remotes work with these.

Can some one please clarify the Corridor Linking Feature...... What is it.... How does it work ??

The PIR response/detection pattern is the same as the standard 5753L so there is no difference there.

The IR Range will depend upon which remote control you use, but it is a little better than you get on a standard Neo. The 5034TX, 5034TX12 and 5038TX will all work with the Multisensor with the former 2 giving the best range.

Corrdior Linking is intened to achieve the following function:
In an office situation if any office is occupied then keep the Corridor light turned On. Office Group and Corridor Group are obvious. The link group is simply a dummy group address that the multisensors use to communicate with each other information about their timeout intervals.
You can use this feature in any situation where you want to keep a specific Group Address turned On if other Group Addresses are turned On. You can also have multiple corridors controlled independently by specifying differnet Corridor and Link Groups. This allows groups of offices to be linked with a specific Corridor on the same C-Bus network.

That's the gist of Corridor Linking but I'm sure as people become familiar with it they will use it in a variety of ways other than just in office building installations. The only caveat is that some lag is introduced into the responses if the timeout intervals are less than 10 seconds, but I expect that this is very unlikely in practice.
