ECONAVI Sensor
Senses inefficiency and saves energy
ECONAVI Sensor detects the presence or absence of people and the level of activity in each area of an office. When unnecessary heating or cooling is detected, indoor units are individually controlled to match office conditions for energy-saving operation.
Connectable with various types of indoor units
The ECONAVI sensor can be connected with various types of indoor units by setting it remotely to maximize the detection area. Installation flexibility ready for indoor unit replacement and layout changes.
[Compatible indoor units]
・4-Way Cassette
・Mini Cassette

Sensor is remotely located to maximize the energy saving effect

The sensor can be installed flexibly avoiding pillars, walls, and other office equipment that obstruct the sensor. This enables accurate sensing to save energy.
Wide detection area
ECONAVI sensor detects the activity and absence of a person in a wide range of 120° up to 7m away. The indoor unit can be installed pinpoint in a place where people gather regularly, avoiding pillars and cabinets that can be blind spots, so efficient energy saving can be achieved without waste.
* The detection range is 1m or more from the floor.
