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 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) enabled device. The wireless connection can 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 Series expansion multi-sensors product range. The multi-sensor can be combined with the RP Series expansion modules for lighting and blind control to provide a connected room solution.

Motion Detection

The RP Series expansion multi-sensor supports motion detection through a passive infrared sensor.

For more information, see Motion Detection .

Luminosity Measurement

The RP Series expansion multi-sensor supports luminosity measurements through an ambient light sensor.

For more information, see Luminosity Measurement .

RP Series Expansion Module and Multi-sensor Memory

RP Series expansion modules and multi-sensor have two types of memory, flash memory and RAM.

For more information, see RP Series Expansion Module and Multi-sensor Memory .

RP Series Expansion Multi-sensor Wireless Connectivity

The RP Series expansion multi-sensor is a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) enabled device. The wireless connection can be used for communication with the RP Series expansion remote control (RP-C-RC-BLE), through which the user can control the lighting, window blinds, temperature, and fan speed in a room or zone of an office building.

For more information, see RP Series Expansion Multi-sensor Wireless Connectivity .

RP Series Expansion Module and Multi-sensor Communication Ports

The RP Series expansion modules and multi-sensors have two room bus ports (RJ45 receptacles), which enable connection to the RP-C controller and other expansion modules and multi-sensors on the room bus through a daisy-chain configuration.

For more information, see RP-C Room Bus .

RP Series Expansion Module and Multi-sensor Address Switch

Each RP Series expansion module and multi-sensor 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-C room bus allows RP Series expansion modules and multi-sensors to be connected to the controller for motion detection, luminosity measurements, communication with remote control (RP-C-RC-BLE), and control of electric lights and window blinds.

For more information, see RP-C Room Bus .

RP Series Expansion Multi-sensor LED

There is one LED on the RP Series expansion multi-sensor. The LED is integrated with the Set button.

For more information, see RP Series Expansion Multi-sensor LED .

RP Series Expansion Multi-sensor Set Button 

The RP Series expansion multi-sensor has a Set button on the front. The Set button is reserved for future use.

For more information, see RP Series Expansion Multi-sensor Set Button .

RP Series Expansion Multi-sensor Device Installation

The RP Series expansion multi-sensor can be installed on a dropped (suspended) ceiling, a drywall ceiling, or a junction (gang) box.

For more information, see RP Series Expansion Multi-sensor Device Installation .

Wiring

The wiring recommendations provide guidance regarding wiring of the I/O modules, SmartX servers, SmartX IP Controller devices, and RP Series expansion modules and multi-sensors.

For more information, see Wiring .

RP Series Expansion Module and Multi-sensor Maintenance Modes

The RP Series expansion modules and multi-sensors support different modes that can be used for maintenance purposes.

For more information, see RP Series Expansion Module and Multi-sensor Maintenance Modes .

SmartX IP Controller Device Firmware Management

Using WorkStation, you can update the firmware of multiple SmartX IP Controller devices and their attached SmartX Sensors, RP Series expansion modules, and multi-sensors at the same time with minimum downtime. In particular, the universal upgrade package simplifies the update process and requires minimal user involvement and coordination.

Tip:

SmartX Sensors, RP Series expansion modules, and multi-sensors are supported by the SmartX IP Controller - RP Series.

For more information, see SmartX IP Controller Device Firmware Management .
