Abstract:
1. A control system for controlling at least one electrical load, the control system comprising: an occupancy sensor unit for detecting motion or presence of an object within a field of view; a light sensor unit for detecting light; a sensor processor for operating at least one load in response to the detecting by at least one of the light sensor unit and the occupancy sensor unit; an override system for transmitting remote signals to the sensor processor according to a communication protocol, the remote signals originating remotely from the occupancy sensor unit, the light sensor unit and the sensor processor, and comprising at least one of command information and data information, wherein the override system comprises an override unit operatively connected to the sensor processor, the override unit transmitting at least one of the remote signals to the sensor processor; and a control unit in communication with the override unit, wherein the remote signals comprising the at least one of command information and data information are communicated via the override unit from the control unit to the sensor processor, wherein the control unit is operatively connected to a second light sensor for detecting ambient light and wherein the control unit outputs the remote signal to the override unit to control the sensor processor to operate the at least one load in response to an ambient light level detected by the second light sensor, and the sensor processor is responsive to at least one of the remote signals for operating the at least one load independent of the detecting by the light sensor unit and the occupancy sensor unit.
