Reno's Reno-Remote-H, order number R73002: the handheld programmer for Reno standalone and bi-level occupancy sensors. It has an LCD screen that shows detection area, hold time, daylight threshold, stand-by dim level and stand-by period before you send them, which is the difference between commissioning a building and guessing at it.
Why the screen matters on a commissioning walk
Blind remotes make you count LED flashes to know which setting you are on. This one displays the whole parameter set, including whether the sensor is in auto mode or manual control, whether daylight harvesting is enabled, and which scene is loaded. It also stores scenes, so a repeated setting - say a warehouse aisle at 100% detection area, 10 minute hold, 20% stand-by - gets sent to the next forty fixtures with one button.

Pro tip from the counter
Programme from directly beneath the sensor. The emission angle is under 30 degrees and the range is 15 m, so walking an aisle centreline on a high-bay ceiling will skip fixtures on both sides and you will not know until the first dark shift calls it in.
Best for: electricians and controls techs commissioning Reno standalone or bi-level sensors across a whole site from one handheld unit.
Common questions
Do I need one remote for every sensor?
No. Reno's own product note says only one is needed per project. The remote sends settings to each sensor in turn, so one unit programs an entire building.
How close do I have to stand to program a fixture?
Reno rates the operating distance at a maximum of 15 metres, roughly 49 feet, at 3V, with an emission angle under 30 degrees. On a high ceiling that means standing more or less under each sensor.
Can the remote change the colour temperature of a fixture?
Yes, but only on sensors that support it. The remote offers 2700K, 3500K, 4000K, 5000K, 5700K and 6500K, and Reno notes these work with CCT supported sensors only.
What batteries does it use?
Two AAA cells, giving a working voltage of 2.2 to 3 volts. Standby current is under 1.2 microamps, so a set of cells lasts through a long commissioning job.
