Flexibility is a key feature of Bluewave, enabling a wide range of configurations to suit the control requirements of each project. Ease of use is assured by simple integrated push buttons and meaningful LED displays that clearly show the control status.
Each channel can be used to detect occupancy and/or light levels with the ability to connect up to six occupancy sensors to each Bluewave controller. The channels can operate independently of each other, providing a wide range of configurations within one zone or across two zones.
These are just some examples of the configurations 
that can be easily achieved with BlueWave:
● Two stages of light level within a single zone
● Occupancy and light levels in a single zone
● Occupancy and light levels across two zones
● Occupancy and timed delay
● Two run-back timers

Presence or Absence
BlueWave can be configured to operate with presence detection (lights come on automatically when someone enters the space) or demand-based absence detection (lights may be switched on manually and will be turned off automatically when no presence is detected for the set period). The light level control may also be set to prevent lights coming on in bright conditions.
BlueWave occupancy sensors employ new BlueWave infra-red technologies to provide precise movement detection. BlueWave occupancy and light level sensors as well as manual switch wiring is all extra low voltage (SELV) which makes for simple installation.
BlueWave sensors are also available with dual-detection technologies, combining passive infra-red (PIR) and microwave detection.
