Hubbell Building Automation, Inc. Announces HBA WASP2™
Fluorescent High Bay Occupancy Sensor Product Line
January 2011 – Austin, TX – Hubbell Building Automation, an industry leader in the development of cutting edge occupancy sensing technologies and products, announced today the release of the HBA WASP2 Fluorescent High Bay sensor product line.
Designed specifically for high mounting applications such as warehouses, distribution centers, and similar facilities, the HBA WASP2 sensors provide significant energy savings in addition to those typically associated with T5, T5HO and T8 fluorescent fixtures. By using this new sensor, facilities with fluorescent fixtures can expect an additional energy savings from 50 to 90%.
The new HBA WASP2 sensors provide the same key features as its predecessor – single and dual relay versions, easy to configure daylight sensors, and HBA’s exclusive Smart Cycling™ technology that maximizes lamp and ballast life by ensuring that all lamps received even burn time. New enhancements include:
Improved Design – The sensor now comes in two separately orderable components: sensor modules available in low voltage and line voltage versions, and easy to install interchangeable lens options for area and aisle applications.
Surface Mount Versions – In addition to the end mount version which easily mounts directly to fixtures through an extended ½ -inch chase nipple, HBA WASP2 now includes a surface mount version.
Built-In Daylight Sensor – To take advantage of the natural daylight in a controlled area, all models of the HBA WASP2 sensor feature a built-in photo-sensor to override lights off when there is sufficient ambient light. The surface mount sensors have a downward looking sensor and the end mount sensors include downward and upward looking sensors.
Low-temperature/Water-tight Versions – The HBA WASP2 sensor is also available in low-temperature/water-tight versions to support freezer applications and wet location applications. This special version of the sensor modules and lenses are IP65-compliant.
Building Automation System Integration – All low voltage HBA WASP2 sensors include an isolated relay with N/O and N/C outputs for easy integration with HVAC or Building Automation Systems.
