Supported Pressac devices

Under Desk Sensor 2

When using the Under Desk Sensor 2 with ProComm you will be able to configure the following five fields with the ProComm tool.

• Parameter 1 – LED motion detection indication – Changing this parameter will allow you to configure the LED on the device. When LED motion detection indication is switched on the LED will light up green when motion is detected. When switched off the LED will remain off when motion is detected.
• Parameter 2 – Absence timeout – Changing this parameter will enable you to change the configurable time in which the Under Desk Sensor takes to send an unoccupied/no-movement message after no motion is detected.
• Parameter 3 – Repeat telegram – Changing the parameter will change the configurable time in which the Under Desk Sensor takes to a repeat telegram after no change in state has been detected.
• Parameter 4 – Walk test mode – When switched on the LED will become permanently RED. Each time motion is detected the LED will flicker green and a presence telegram will be transmitted. (Max, one telegram every 0.5 seconds). Once activated walk test mode will time out after 30 seconds.
• Parameter 5 – Learn button – When activated the button will be unable to send learn telegrams, activate walk test mode and change security options. Only factory restore functionality will remain possible.

Three Channel Temperature Sensor

When using the Three Channel Temperature Sensor with ProComm you will be able to configure the following four fields with the ProComm tool.

• Parameter 1 – Sampling time – Changing this parameter will enable you to change the configurable time in which the Three Channel Temperature Sensor makes a reading.
• Parameter 2 – Transmission thresholds – Changing this parameter will enable you to change the configurable time in which the transmission thresholds can be used to force the Three Channel Temperature Sensor to only transmit a telegram when above or below a set temperature level.
• Parameter 3 – Transmission threshold reporting – Changing this parameter will allow you to set a temperature level, once the temperature is greater than the set level the device will send a telegram.
  For example, if a transmission reporting threshold is set at 22ºC with transmission threshold reporting set to above. A telegram will only be sent when the temperature is greater than 22ºC.
  If the temperature remains below the set threshold for more than 1 hour a telegram will be sent anyway.
• Parameter 4 – Telegram transmission – Changing this parameter will enable you to change the configurable number of sampling times which must have elapsed for the Three Channel Temperature Sensor to send a telegram. e.g., if sampling time is set to 30 seconds and telegram transmission to 3, a telegram will be sent every 120 seconds.

Pressac Repeater

When using the Pressac EnOcean Repeater with ProComm you will be able to configure the following seven fields with the ProComm tool.

• Parameter 1 – Link table action – When set to REPEAT all devices added to the link table will be the only devices repeated. When set to IGNORE the Pressac EnOcean Repeater will ignore all devices in the link table and repeat everything else.
• Parameter 2 – Link table state – With the link table switched OFF the Pressac EnOcean Repeater will repeat every telegram it receives. Switching ON the link table will enable selective repeating or ignoring depending on the link table action.
• Parameter 3 – Radio link test mode – This mode can help with both commissioning and range planning. When the Pressac EnOcean Repeater has radio link test mode switched ON, every telegram received from a device in the link table will be replied to with a standard EnOcean signal telegram which contains signal strength observed by the repeater.
• Parameter 4 – Repeater level – Configurable over the air Level 1 repeats only telegrams received from a device and Level 2 will repeat all telegrams including Level 1 repeated telegrams.
• Inbound link table – This table allows you to set which EnOcean sensors you wish to repeat up to 59 sensors.
• Outbound link table – This table allows you to set which EnOcean sensors you wish to repeat up to 59 sensors.
• Remote learn – This allows you to remotely learn EnOcean devices into your repeater.

Pulse Counter

When using the Pulse Counter with ProComm you will be able to configure the following seven fields with the ProComm tool.

• Parameter 1 – EEP selection – This parameter will allow you to change the set EEP for the device between A5-12-01 (kWh), A5-12-03 (m³) and A5-12-00 (Count).
• Parameter 2 – Pulse counter per kWh – This parameter will allow you to change the amount of pulses between the measurement of each kWh between 1-10000.
• Parameter 3 – Pulse counter per m³ – This parameter will allow you to change the amount of pulses between the measurement of each m³ between 1-10000.
• Parameter 4 – Pulse count per count – This parameter will allow you to change the amount of pulses between the measurement of each count between 1-10000.
• Parameter 5 – Pulse count divisor – This parameter will allow you to change the amount of which you can divide the amount of pulses by, you have the option of 1, 10, 100, 1000.
• Parameter 6 – Pulse count reset – This will reset the cumulative count of the Pulse Counter.
• Parameter 7 – Signal telegram transmission – Changing this parameter will enable you to send signal telegrams after a defined number of pulses. This allows for remote commission to be available periodically. e.g. setting this to 1000 would make a signal telegram to be sent every 1000 pulses.

Wide Angle PIR

When using the Wide Angle PIR with ProComm you will be able to configure the following five fields with the ProComm tool.

• Parameter 1 – LED motion detection indication – Changing this parameter will allow you to configure the LED on the device. When LED motion detection indication is switched on the LED will light up green when motion is detected. When switched off the LED will remain off when motion is detected.
• Parameter 2 – Absence timeout – Changing this parameter will enable you to change the configurable time in which the Wide Angle PIR takes to send an unoccupied/no-movement message after no motion is detected.
• Parameter 3 – Repeat telegram – Changing the parameter will change the configurable time in which the Wide Angle PIR takes to a repeat telegram after no change in state has been detected.
• Parameter 4 – Walk test mode – When switched on the LED will become permanently RED. Each time motion is detected the LED will flicker green and a presence telegram will be transmitted (max, one telegram every 0.5 seconds). Once activated walk test mode will time out after 30 seconds.
• Parameter 5 – Learn button – When activated the button will be unable to send learn telegrams, activate walk test mode and change security options. Only factory restore functionality will remain possible.
