PIR control for air conditioners

UK: CP Electronics has launched a new surface-mounted PIR controller for auto-on/auto-off switching of infrared-controlled air conditioning units.

Battery powered, the GESM-AC is said to be compatible with the majority of infrared controlled air conditioning units. The intelligent PIR learns the infrared code of an AC unit, overrides the on/off commands and regulates the use based on room occupancy.

Easy to install, and with simple push-button adjustments, it has a sleep mode and an adjustable timeout period.

The new product will be featured at this week’s CEF Live show at the NEC, Birmingham.
