Wall mounted PIR occupancy switch.

The WAPIR model replaces an existing wall switch – no neutral wire is needed. It fits into a plaster depth wall box. The WAPIR model also has a manual override off switch on the front of the plate.

The WAPIR requires a permanent live supply and should only be used in applications where the lights would not be on for more than 12 hours per day. This is to allow its rechargeable battery enough time to recharge itself from the mains supply. The WAPIR is supplied with a load capacitor to augment small loads.

The override off button (out position) enables the lights to be held off during video presentations, etc. A version without the manual override button is also available on request (order code WAPIRX).

For wall mounting only.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Because WAPIR requires a permanent live supply there are restrictions on its usage:

• WAPIR should only be used in applications where the lights would not be ON for more time than they are OFF. This is to allow its rechargeable battery enough time to recharge itself from the mains supply.
• Wiring WAPIR’s in parallel will increase the ON status of a load and therefore the battery may not have sufficient time to recharge.
• The load MUST be able to pass parasitic current. The battery may not charge with some low energy / high efficiency luminaire products that do not pass sufficient parasitic current.
• If power factor correction capacitors are inbuilt to the luminaire, it is not advised to add additional CAPLOADs to the switching circuit.

Applications

The WAPIR is suitable for small offices, meeting rooms, tutoring rooms, etc.
