Concept
RP-C-EXT-MS-BLE
The RP-C-EXT-MS-BLE multi-sensor connects to the RP-C room controllers and is used for infrared motion detection and luminosity measurements. The multi-sensor supports Bluetooth Low Energy based applications such as beaconing and remote control communication.
The multi-sensor is connected to the RP-C room controller using an RJ45 type quick connector.
The multi-sensor's three flexible mounting brackets (springs) enable quick and easy installation on a suspended ceiling tile. The multi-sensor also comes with a mounting ring, which allows the sensor to be installed on a ceiling with drywall anchors and a 76 mm (3 in.) clearance hole or to a 102 mm (4 in.) junction/gang box.
The multi-sensor is a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device. The multi-sensor support for Bluetooth beacon enables nearby mobile devices with a specific app installed to interact when in close proximity to the broadcasting multi-sensor. The Bluetooth beacon can be used for services such as indoor positioning of the mobile device. The service and mobile app need to be provided by a third party. The Bluetooth connection can also be used for communication with the RP-C-RC-BLE remote control, which makes it possible to control the lighting, blinds, and air conditioning in a zone of an office building.
The multi-sensor is part of the RP controller expansion modules product range. The multi-sensor can be combined with the RP controller expansion modules for lighting and blind control to provide a connected room solution.

RP Controller Expansion Sensor Module Wireless Connectivity
The RP controller expansion sensor modules, such as the Multi-sensor and Insight-Sensor, are Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices, which support applications such as beaconing and remote control communication.
For more information, see RP Controller Expansion Sensor Module Wireless Connectivity .
RP Controller Expansion Module Communication Ports
The RP controller expansion modules have two room bus ports (RJ45 receptacles), which enable connection to the RP-C controller and other expansion modules on the room bus through a daisy-chain configuration.
For more information, see RP-C Room Bus .
RP Controller Expansion Module Address Switch
Each RP controller expansion module has a rotary switch, which is used to give the device a unique address on the room bus.
For more information, see RP-C Room Bus .
RP-C Room Bus
The RP controller room bus allows RP controller expansion modules to be connected to the controller for people counting, motion detection, luminosity and sound pressure level measurements, Bluetooth Low Energy based applications, and control of electric lights and window blinds.
For more information, see RP-C Room Bus .
RP Controller Expansion Sensor Module LED
There is one LED on the RP controller expansion sensor modules. The LED is integrated with the Set button.

Wiring
The wiring recommendations provide guidance regarding wiring of the Central IO modules, automation servers, BACnet/IP devices, RP controller expansion modules, and Operator Display.
For more information, see Wiring .
RP Controller Expansion Module Maintenance Modes
The RP controller expansion modules support different modes that can be used for maintenance purposes.
For more information, see RP Controller Expansion Module Maintenance Modes .
BACnet/IP Device Firmware Management
Using WorkStation, you can update the firmware of multiple BACnet/IP devices and their attached SpaceLogic Sensor devices and RP controller expansion modules at the same time with minimum downtime. In particular, the universal upgrade package simplifies the update process and requires minimal user involvement and coordination.
SpaceLogic Sensor devices and RP controller expansion modules are supported by the RP controller.
