Cooper Lighting introduces ThinkWatt

Cooper Lighting has announced the wireless mesh networked motion and photo sensor. Called the ThinkWatt, it operates HID, compact fluorescent, linear fluorescent and incandescent light sources for energy management in compliance with all new energy regulations. These new devices can switch electronic or magnetic ballasted luminaires for Hi-Lo functionality, dim electronic ballasted luminaires using 0-10 volt dimming control, and switch any electrical load up to 30A. It is available for 120 volt to 277 volt operation. The new ThinkWatt device employs Z-Wave RF Mesh Networking technology to eliminate costly Class-II cabling commonly used by most energy management systems.

ThinkWatt provides a secure wireless network of luminaires that can be zoned and managed in multiple configurations. It does not require a computer or other controller to operate the mesh networked system. This new product is suitable for new construction and retrofit applications.

Designed for commercial, industrial, educational, retail and healthcare applications, the new ThinkWatt Motion Sensor is capable of detecting motion up to 40 feet away. Each device is supplied with two interchangeable lenses for Aisle or Round Area detection. A free rotating universally adjustable mounting mechanism enables the ThinkWatt Motion Sensor for wall or ceiling mounting. Four different mounting options, plus IP-65 Ingress Protection ensures these devices work in almost any environment. The polycarbonate housing is virtually indestructible.

ThinkWatt RF Motion Sensors are compatible with Z-Wave devices available from other manufacturers.
