[labnetwork] Occupancy Sensors in Cleanroom

[Noah Clay]

Matt,

     I've seen these used for lighting in the cleanroom environment but typically one would bypass the occupancy sensors Monday to Friday during normal business hours. 

     I've never experienced any issues. 

Regards,

Noah

It has been proposed that 30min occupancy sensors are to be used in the cleanroom bays and chases (one at each end of each bay and chase).  Personally, I have a lot of reservations about using such sensors given safety concerns created by potential blind spots, especially when staff are working in tight spots around various processing tools.  In addition, I have concerns about sensitivity given the noise and vibration in many areas of the lab.  Does anyone have experience (good or bad) with such sensors in a cleanroom environment?
