The occupancy sensor is a combination door-switch and room motion sensor powered by 2 AAA batteries that are included in the kit.

Once wirelessly linked to Amana^®  Eden PTAC, the occupancy sensor monitors the room.

When the room is unoccupied, the sensor automatically activates the temperature set-back function on the in-room PTAC. The setback function is a part of the  Eden standard Energy Management System (EMS) in the  Eden PTAC control board.

The  Eden EMS software can be set in up to 100,000 set-back combinations to maximize energy savings and is programmed through either the remote thermostat or the platform controller.

The sensor communicates to the Amana  Eden suite of devices via an encrypted 2.4 Ghz signal using the 802.15.4 standard.

For the door sensor to operate, the in-room PTAC must be equipped with a Eden gateway antenna.
