- Retail sales floors with wireless scene control via Pico remotes
- Corridors and restrooms with occupancy/vacancy sensing
- Retrofits where adding control wiring is costly or impractical
Installation Tips
- Mount the module on the exterior of a junction or marshalling box; do not enclose in metal housings.
- Center the module in the room to maximize RF coverage; avoid foil-backed/metallic ceiling tiles when possible.
- Keep wireless inputs within 30 ft (9 m) through walls or 60 ft (18 m) line of sight of the module.
- Follow local and national electrical codes; verify load type and ampacity before wiring.
- Use the Vive hub (optional) for browser-based setup, monitoring, and future reprogramming.
FAQ
Q: What loads can the RMJS-16R-DV-B switch?
A: It supports general-purpose loads up to 16A including incandescent, MLV/ELV, resistive, inductive, and magnetic/electronic fluorescent loads, plus small motors within the listed HP ratings.
Q: Do I need a Vive hub to use this module?
A: No. It works stand-alone with Pico remotes and Radio Powr Savr sensors. A Vive hub is optional for centralized setup, control, and monitoring.
Q: How many wireless devices can I pair?
A: Up to 10 Pico remotes, up to 10 occupancy/vacancy sensors, and 1 daylight sensor per module.
Q: What is the RF range?
A: Inputs should be within about 30 ft (9 m) through walls or up to 60 ft (18 m) line of sight from the module.
Q: Is there an option for building management system integration?
A: Yes. Choose the CCO variant (RMJS-16RCCO1DV-B) for a maintained dry-contact output to signal occupancy status to third-party systems.
Q: Does it support emergency lighting?
A: Emergency operation is available on the -EM model (RMJS-16R-DV-B-EM). The standard RMJS-16R-DV-B is not an emergency unit.
Q: Can it be installed in plenum spaces?
A: Yes. It complies with NEC 300.22(C)(3) for use in other spaces used for environmental air, and is classified per CAN/ULC-S142.
Q: What happens after a power outage?
A: The module features power-failure memory and returns to the previous state when power is restored.
