Room conditions sensor

• Sample Rate – how often the device reports its non-occupancy data and sends out a data packet.
• Signal Telegram Transmission – controls how often the device sends out a signal telegram which is used for performing Remote Management tasks.
• Repeated Telegrams – configure the device to operate as an EnOcean repeater.
• PIR absence timeout – how long the occupancy sensor waits without activity before reporting “unoccupied”.
• PIR Repeat Occupancy Telegram – how often the occupancy sensor should repeat reporting “unoccupied” or “occupied” without the status changing.
• Secure Mode – the Room Condition sensor includes an enhanced secure mode, where all radio communication is AES128 encrypted.

These settings can be configured locally by interacting with the device, or remotely using EnOcean commissioning software.

Local commissioning

On the rear face of the device, there are six DIP switches, which control the following settings:

Sample period

This setting controls how often the sensor sends the values to the gateway. It can be set by moving DIP switches 2 and 3 as follows. This applies to the non-occupancy data values, the occupancy sensor is configured separately (see above).

Repeater mode

The sensor is also capable of acting as a repeater, extending the range of other Pressac sensors. To enable this feature, move DIP Switch 5 to “ON” and received EnOcean telegrams will be repeated.

By default, Repeater Mode is disabled. If it is enabled, the sensor will act as a Level 1 EnOcean repeater. Level 2 repeater functionality can be configured using EnOcean Remote Commissioning described below.

Remote commissioning mode

All of the above settings and more can be configured through the remote commissioning process described below. To perform remote commissioning, the device needs to send a Signal Telegram, which allows it to be unlocked.

When Remote Commissioning is enabled by switching DIP switch 6 to “ON,” pressing the Learn button will send a signal telegram, and the device will be open to being unlocked by a Remote Commissioning telegram. More information is available in the ProComm Remote Commissioning instruction manual.

Note that in order to avoid conflicting settings, if Remote Commissioning is set to ON then all the other DIP switches (except the device power) will be overridden and ignored, as the device is set to remote commissioning mode.

If physical access to the sensor is not possible, then by default, the device will send a signal telegram periodically, removing the need to press the learn button to open the sensor to being unlocked. This value can be changed or disabled using the Remote Commissioning mode.

Secure mode

Products can be switched between standard and secure modes by pressing the learn button for at least 10 seconds. The device’s mode will be changed when the learn button is released.

• Secure mode is indicated by the LED flashing GREEN four times.
• Standard mode is indicated by the LED flashing RED four times.

Products are delivered in standard mode with encryption turned off. Before enabling secure mode on the device, please ensure that the receiving device supports secure mode, and that it is enabled at the receiver.

Remote commissioning

Registration

Pressac sensors need to be registered with a Pressac EnOcean Gateway in order to communicate with a cloud-based or local back-end system. There are two methods for registering a device, automatic or manual.

The Room Condition Sensor behaves as two separate sensors, as follows:

Therefore when registering a Room Condition Sensor to a Pressac EnOcean Gateway, the process should be followed twice, and the sensor registered as two sensors.

Restore factory settings

Turning off the Room Condition Sensor power switch and holding down the learn button while turning back on the power switch will initiate restoration of the default settings and default remote management unlock code. While a restore is in progress, the LED will flash red four times, followed by a GREEN LED flicker if successful or a RED LED flicker if unsuccessful.
