Aware™ Occupancy and Photo Sensors

GE Lighting

In addition to switches and scheduling, you

can further increase efficiency and save money

on energy with Aware™ Occupancy and Photo

Sensors. A recent study has shown that utilizing

occupancy and photo sensors saves an

average of 30-40% on energy costs.* Aware

is a comprehensive line of GE sensors that offers

solutions for almost any application. Whether

you need a sensor that is commercial or

industrial, indoor or outdoor, ultrasonic

or passive infrared – or both – you’re sure

to find it with Aware.

dynamicThe most efficient lighting control systems

use a combination of time-based automation,

astronomical features, daylight harvesting

and occupancy interaction. Integrating

Aware Occupancy and Photo Sensors into

a complete control unit – like LightSweep™

Modular Lighting Control System – will help you

maximize efficiency and energy savings.

Occupancy sensors go a step beyond scheduling by detecting motion within a space and switching the lights On and Off

as needed. Occupancy sensors are ideal for spaces that are intermittently occupied. Because of their easy installation, user

convenience and maintenance-free operation, occupancy sensors are one of the most preferred lighting control solutions.

Our line of Aware™ Occupancy Sensors allows you to conserve energy and save money when illumination isn’t necessary,

while minimizing occupant annoyance caused by false activations or scheduling. Designed with flexibility in mind, Aware

Occupancy Sensors can be used as stand-alone units for local control or as part of a greater unit, like the LightSweep™

Modular Lighting Control System.

Occupancy Sensors

When selecting a sensor for a space, there are a few considerations that will impact your decision. Knowing the type

of space and its function, the size and ceiling height, and the activity going on in the space are all factors that will help

you choose the right sensor for each application.

One consideration in choosing a sensor is the size and ceiling height of the area. In general, Aware™ wall switch

sensors are used for smaller rooms, while our ceiling sensors include options for areas up to 2,000 square feet. Corner/

wall sensors are often chosen for long hallways or corridors. For warehouses or other environments with high ceilings,

fixture-mounted sensors may be the best solution. Your GE sales rep can help you assess your situation and choose

the right sensors for each area.

ultrasonic Ultrasonic sensors detect occupancy by

emitting a high-frequency signal and interpreting

changes in frequency as motion. Ultrasonic

sensors do not require a direct line of sight,

meaning they can “see” around corners

and objects. They are also highly sensitive

to motion – even minor hand movement.

passive infrared (PIR) Designed to detect motion from a heat-emitting

source, PIR sensors switch lights On and Off when

a person enters or exits their field of view.

dual techDual Tech sensors combine PIR and ultrasonic

technology. Lights are only activated when both

sensors detect occupancy – eliminating false

activation – and require one of the technologies

to keep the lights on, significantly reducing the

possibility of a false deactivation.

The design of the room and the amount of activity happening within the space will determine the

level of sensitivity you need in your sensor. Aware™ Occupancy Sensors are available in three distinct

technologies, so that you can be sure to find the appropriate solution for your space.

technology

A P P L I C A T I O N S

Most suitable for open spaces, spaces

with obstacles in the sensor’s line of sight,

restrooms and spaces with hard surfaces.

A P P L I C A T I O N S

Best for applications that offer a direct line

of sight to the source that creates the motion,

such as enclosed spaces, areas where the

sensor has a view of activity, outdoor areas

and warehouse aisles.

A P P L I C A T I O N S

Classrooms, conference rooms, areas with

heavy airflow or other conditions where

a higher degree of detection is preferred.

ceiling

Aware Ceiling Sensors attach directly to the ceiling in the

center of a room. They work best in large, open spaces,

spaces with obstacles such as partitions, and narrow spaces.

Generally, ceiling sensors are used in rooms with a maximum

height of 12 feet.

Aware Ceiling Sensors are available

with the following features:

•Ultrasonic,InfraredandDualTechsensing

•180-or360-degreeviewingarea

•Small,mediumorlargeroomoptions

•Photocellcapability

•FormCrelay

•Extremetemperatureandopenairoptions (max.height25')

sensor mountingAware™ Occupancy Sensors come in four mounting options. The kind of sensor you choose depends on the type, size and function of

the space. No matter your application, Aware Occupancy Sensors can increase your efficiency and save on energy costs.

or to a corner between two walls. Corner/wall sensors are used

for similar applications to ceiling sensors, but sometimes offer

a more convenient mounting location. Ceiling sensors may

look out into a hallway from a door or window and be triggered

by foot traffic, whereas a corner/wall sensor can be placed

strategically to look away from unintended traffic areas.

For areas up to 1,200 square feet.

Aware™ Photo SensorsA key component of lighting control is maintaining a light level consistent with daylight. As natural light enters a space,

Aware™ Photo Sensors reduce artificial light levels. When the sun goes down, or on a cloudy day, light levels increase.

With energy savings and environmental performance leading today’s lighting charge, control

means so much more than a simple “on” or “off.” Control means having the ability to light

harvest a 105-story high-rise. To detect motion as slight as a wave of a hand. To have

illumination where and when you need it, and the flexibility to conserve when you don’t.

At GE, control means having the capability to find a solution to any problem.

And if that solution doesn’t exist, to invent it.

GE Lighting Controls offers the most flexible, dynamic and intelligent lighting control solutions

in the industry. Led by thought and with innovation in mind, our complete solutions allow

facility managers to cut costs, increase employee productivity and achieve peace of mind

through enhanced control.
