Occupancy Sensor increases fluorescent fixture efficiencies.
Press Release Summary:
Designed for high mounting applications, HBA WASP(TM) Fluorescent High Bay Occupancy Sensor promotes energy conservation by using passive infrared (PIR) technology for occupancy detection. PIR lens provides 1.4:1 coverage up to 40 ft and is available with single or dual outputs. While single output sensor features primary timer for ON/OFF control, dual output sensor features 2 timers for multiple light level control (step dimming) as well as Smart Cycling(TM) technology.
Original Press Release:
Hubbell Building Automation Announces New HBA WASP Fluorescent High Bay Occupancy Sensor
August 4, 2008 - Austin, TX - Hubbell Building Automation Inc., an industry leader in the development of occupancy sensing technologies and products, announced today the introduction of the HBA WASP(TM) Fluorescent High Bay Occupancy Sensor.
Designed specifically for high mounting applications such as warehouses, distribution centers, and similar facilities, the HBA WASP provides significant energy savings in addition to those typically associated with T5, T5HO and T8 fluorescent fixtures. By using this new sensor, facilities with fluorescent fixtures can expect an additional energy savings of up to 50 to 90 percent.
No matter what type of energy saving fluorescent light fixture you use, a tremendous amount of energy savings can be realized by just turning the lights off when no one is in the space. The HBA WASP provides the most advanced passive infrared (PIR) sensor technology for unequaled occupancy detection. The sensor easily mounts directly to industrial T5HO and T8 fixtures through an extended ½-inch chase nipple. The specifically designed PIR lens provides 1.4:1 coverage up to 40 feet.
The HBA WASP is available with either single or dual outputs, making it the perfect solution for single or multi-ballast fixtures. The single output sensor features a primary timer for ON/OFF control for maximum energy savings. The dual output sensor features two timers for multiple light level control (i.e., step dimming). The dual output sensor also includes HBA's exclusive Smart Cycling(TM) technology that maximizes lamp and ballast life by ensuring that all lamps receive the same number of switching cycles.
For deep body fluorescent fixtures, an extension adapter is also available for positioning the senor flush or below the bottom of the reflector for full field of view coverage.
