Occupancy sensor

The OSFHB-ITW high-bay occupancy sensor employs passive infrared technology to provide occupancy control and minimize false triggering. The occupancy sensor is designed for high-mounted areas and installs directly to an industrial fluorescent luminaire or an electrical junction box. It is a self-contained sensor and relay that turns individual light fixtures on or off based on occupancy in the detection zone.

Wireless lighting control system

This company's new wireless lighting control technology is designed for use in industrial and warehouse spaces to work in tandem with the company's Semaphore product line. The wireless control allows for square footage applications ranging from 50,000 sq ft to 2,000,000 sq ft without nodes or repeaters using a mesh-networked system that allows for individual units to pass the signal on to other units. The system can be controlled through a laptop computer or hand-held remote control, and features on/off capability, dimmability, occupancy sensing, and rezoning — the ability to re-program the grouping of lighting fixtures using a “point-and-click” method.
