Engineered Products Company’s (EPCO) Occupancy Sensor (OS) is a reliable, energy-efficient solution for managing commercial and industrial lighting systems. Ideal for stairwells, warehouses, utility buildings, maintenance areas, storage rooms, tunnels, and more, this smart sensor helps reduce energy costs by automatically turning lights on when motion is detected and off when no activity is present. 

Microwave Sensor Options (R4-R6) 

• R4: On/Off control only
• R5: 30% dimming
• R6: 50% dimming 

Designed for ceiling heights of 20 feet or lower, EPCO’s microwave occupancy sensors detect even the slightest movement — even through doors, glass, or thin walls — ensuring reliable coverage and consistent illumination when needed. This sensor comes factory-installed on EPCO luminaires (not sold separately), simplifying installation and ensuring maximum performance right out of the box. 

By reducing wasted energy and extending lamp life, EPCO’s Occupancy Sensor offers contractors and building owners a cost-effective solution for improving facility efficiency. 

BENEFITS 

• Energy Savings: Reduces power consumption by only using light when needed.
• Extended Fixture Life: Minimizes lamp and driver run time, lowering maintenance costs.
• Improved Safety & Productivity: Ensures adequate lighting in occupied spaces for safer work environments.
• Code Compliance Support: Helps meet energy efficiency codes and standards for commercial buildings.
• Cost-Effective Lighting Control: Eliminates the need for manual switching, saving time and labor. 

FEATURES 

• Factory-Installed Convenience: Pre-installed on EPCO luminaires for fast, hassle-free setup.
• Microwave Detection Technology: Senses even the slightest motion through doors, glass, or thin walls.
• Multiple Control Options: Choose On/Off (R4), 30% dimming (R5), or 50% dimming (R6) for flexible lighting control.
• Optimized for Ceiling Heights ≤ 20 ft: Perfect for stairwells, hallways, tunnels, and warehouses.
• Automatic Shutoff: Turns lights off after a preset time when no occupancy is detected, reducing wasted energy. 

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS 

EPCO’s Occupancy Sensor is ideal for automating lighting control in areas where energy savings and safety are top priorities. Recommended applications include: 

• Stairwells & Hallways – Ensures lights are only on when occupied, improving safety and reducing energy costs.
• Warehouses & Distribution Centers – Automatically illuminates aisles and storage areas when workers are present.
• Utility & Maintenance Buildings – Provides light on demand for infrequently used spaces.
• Storage Rooms & Closets – Eliminates wasted energy in spaces where lights are often left on.
• Pedestrian & Service Tunnels – Maintains visibility and security while minimizing energy consumption.
• Parking Areas & Garages (Low Ceiling) – Improves safety for occupants while lowering operational costs.
• Mechanical Rooms & Electrical Rooms – Hands-free lighting control for technicians and contractors. 

By integrating EPCO’s OS into these areas, building owners can achieve significant energy savings, extended fixture life, and enhanced facility safety.
