Installing an RP Controller Expansion Insight-Sensor on a Ceiling Using the Mounting Ring
You install an RP controller expansion Insight-Sensor on a ceiling using the supplied mounting ring to properly fasten the Insight-Sensor on the ceiling.
The RP controller expansion Insight-Sensor can be installed on a dropped (suspended) ceiling, a drywall ceiling, or a junction (gang) box.
Rules and Regulations
The Insight-Sensor must be professionally installed to comply with the following rules and regulations:
Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules
Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) licence-exempt Radio Standards Specifications (RSSs)
2014/53/EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED) of the European Union (EU).
S.I. 2017/1206 - Radio Equipment Regulations 2017 of the United Kingdom (UK)

General Installation Requirements
The Insight-Sensor is designed to be installed horizontally in a ceiling. The device can also be installed on a junction box when there is no ceiling and space is opened to plenum.
The Insight-Sensor must be installed with the passive infrared (PIR) sensor and thermal image sensor facing down. If the device is installed on a wall, the PIR sensor and thermal image sensor will not work properly.
With EcoStruxure Building Operation software version 6.0.1 and later, the Insight-Sensor supports mounting heights in the range from 2.3 to 3.3 m (7.5 to 10.8 ft). This is an extension of the range compared to previous software versions, which support mounting heights ranging from 2.5 to 3.0 m (8.2 to 10 ft). Installing the device higher than 3.3 m (10.8 ft) or lower than 2.3 m (7.5 ft) from the floor can significantly impair the performance of the people counting function. The height at which the device is installed must be configured in the EcoStruxure Building Operation software during commissioning. If the installed height is not correctly configured in the software, the counting accuracy may be degraded. Pour plus d'informations, voir Configuring an Insight-Sensor .
The mounting height of the Insight-Sensor is equal to the distance from the floor to the device, not the ceiling.
Installation Orientation Restrictions
When two or more Insight-Sensor devices are installed next to or near each other (with overlapping detection areas), the devices must be oriented in the same direction, as shown in the figure below.
Install all devices in line, oriented in the same direction, and with the thermal image sensors at a right angle to or parallel to the walls of the room, as shown in the figure below where the X and Y axes of thermal image sensors are indicated. Installing all devices according to these rules facilitates the configuration of people counting masks. Pour plus d'informations, voir Insight-Sensor Masks .
During installation, the Schneider Electric logo on the Insight-Sensor device must be on the right side when looking at the device installed in the ceiling.
When mounting rings are used, you can use the alignment notches on the rings to ensure that all devices are oriented in the same direction.
Use of Masks to Adjust the Detection Area
When installing Insight-Sensor devices in an open space or large meeting room, it is important to consider and manage the following:
Overlapping detection areas between Insight-Sensor devices
Presence of windows, radiators, or other objects in the same temperature range as a human body
If two or more Insight-Sensor devices are installed too close, the persons present in the thermal image sensors' overlapping detection areas may be counted twice.
If an Insight-Sensor is installed so that the thermal image sensor's detection area includes a window heated by solar rays, a radiator, or other large object in the same temperature range as a human body, people close to the hot object may not be detected, or the hot object may be counted as a person.
As it can be difficult to move Insight-Sensor devices, which is partly because the devices are wired and partly because the PIR sensor means restrictions on the installation of the devices, the solution may instead be to adjust the thermal image sensor's detection areas for the devices during installation.
Using the EcoStruxure Building Operation software, the thermal image sensor's detection area can be configured to reduce overlapping areas between two devices to minimize the risk of a person being counted twice. The detection area can also be adjusted to exclude heat radiating objects such as radiators and windows heated by solar rays, and to exclude corridors and other adjacent areas through which people just pass by.

Installation Using the Mounting Springs
The Insight-Sensor is typically installed on a dropped ceiling. For that reason, the Insight-Sensor is delivered with three flexible mounting brackets (springs) preinstalled on the device. The mounting springs enable quick and easy installation of the device on a dropped ceiling. The installation requires a clearance hole with a diameter of 75 to 76 mm (2.95 to 3.00 inches) in the ceiling tile.
The Multi-sensor (RP-C-EXT-MS-BLE) and Insight-Sensor (RP-C-EXT-IS-BLE) are the same size and have the same cabling. This means an already installed Multi-sensor can easily be replaced with an Insight-Sensor, or vice versa.
Installation Using the Mounting Ring
The Insight-Sensor also comes with a mounting ring, which enables the following alternative installation methods:
Installation on a junction box
Installation on a drywall ceiling
The RP-C-EXT-MR-K5 SpaceLogic Sensor Mounting Ring Kit is available when there is a need to order additional, spare mounting rings. The kit contains five mounting rings. The kit has the part number SXWREMR5XX10001.
The Insight-Sensor can be installed on a junction box when there is no ceiling and space is opened to plenum. The installation requires an octagon junction box of size 4.0 inches (102 mm) and a minimum depth of 1.0 inches (25.5 mm).
The octagon junction box is not included.
You can use the two alignment notches on the mounting ring to position the device.
The mounting ring also makes it possible to install the Insight-Sensor on a drywall ceiling using an appropriate anchoring system. The installation requires a clearance hole with a diameter of 75 to 76 mm (2.95 to 3.00 inches) and two mounting holes that fit number 6, 8, M3, or M4 screws (with or without anchors) in the drywall ceiling. You can use the 1:1 drill template in the installation sheet, which comes with each Insight-Sensor, to measure out the location of the holes. You can also use the mounting ring to measure out the holes.
Refer to the dimensional drawing before installing the Insight-Sensor.

Ensure that you have the proper mounting hardware and anchoring system.
Check the weight-bearing load before choosing your mounting hardware.
Find a suitable location and surface on which to mount the Insight-Sensor.
Use the 1:1 drill template in the installation sheet, which comes with each Insight-Sensor, to measure out the location of the following holes:
A clearance hole with a diameter of 75 to 76 mm (2.95 to 3.00 inches)
Two mounting holes that fit number 6, 8, M3, or M4 screws (with or without anchors)

You can also use the mounting ring to measure out the holes.
Create a circular clearance hole with a diameter of 75 to 76 mm (2.95 to 3.00 inches) in the ceiling using a hole saw or other tool.
Drill two mounting holes that fit number 6, 8, M3, or M4 screws (or anchoring system per manufacturing specification).
Install number 6, 8, M3, or M4 pan head screws (with or without anchors) in the two holes, leaving approximately 5 mm (0.2 inch) space between the head of the screw and the ceiling to accommodate the mounting ring material thickness.

Align the keyholes slots on the mounting ring to the mounting screws installed in the ceiling and then rotate the mounting ring clock-wise until the ring is retained. Tighten the screws to fasten the ring.
