Wireless Plug Load Controls vs. Traditional Standard Receptacles

Unlike traditional standard wall outlets that continuously draw power even when connected equipment is idle, wireless plug load controls actively manage standby power draw.

Wireless Plug Load Controls offer:

• Automatic Standby Power Elimination: Reduces energy waste from monitors, printers, task lights, and appliances.

• Reduced Installation Time & Labor: Wireless RF pairing avoids pulling control wires through ceilings and walls.

• Flexible Sensor Placement: Easily mount battery-operated sensors anywhere on the ceiling using included adhesive tape or screws.

• Enhanced Code Compliance: Meets modern municipal and state energy codes out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions About Plug Load Controls

How do wireless plug load controls work?

The PLBPC battery-powered ceiling sensor detects motion via passive infrared technology. When someone enters the room, the sensor sends a wireless signal to turn the paired PL20R receptacle ON. Once the room remains unoccupied for 30 minutes, the sensor signals the receptacle to turn OFF automatically.

Are these plug load control devices code compliant?

Yes. When used together, the PL20R receptacle and PLBPC ceiling sensor comply with California Title 24, ASHRAE Standard 90.1, and 2017 NEC Article 406.12 requirements.

Do I need to run wires between the ceiling sensor and the outlet?

No. The ceiling sensor is battery-operated and communicates wirelessly with the outlet, eliminating the need to pull wire through walls or ceilings.

How is the ceiling sensor mounted?

The PLBPC ceiling sensor comes with both double-sided adhesive tape and mounting screws, allowing for quick installation on standard ceiling tiles, drywall, or drop ceilings.
