YPS20
Yealink YPS20 Partition Sensor for Divisible Meeting Rooms
The Yealink YPS20 is a surface-mount infrared sensor that detects where a movable partition sits in a divisible meeting room. Paired with the Yealink AP08 and a Room Controller, it lets the room adjust its settings automatically when walls are moved. It offers a 1.5m effective detection distance, a 10m cable for routing to the partition, and an IP65 rating. It suits hotels, schools and offices in Doha that split large halls into smaller rooms.
What the YPS20 detects in a divisible room
The YPS20 is a surface-mount sensor built for rooms that change shape. It directs an infrared beam at a movable partition and reads its position, so the room system knows whether the space is one hall or two smaller rooms. Instead of a wall switch or a touch panel, the change is picked up automatically, so the meeting set-up matches the physical layout without manual steps.
Detection relies on diffuse reflection, meaning the beam bounces back from the partition surface and no reflector is needed. The standard reference target is white drawing paper measuring 300×300mm. A single knob adjusts sensitivity to suit the surface, and the same knob selects dark-on or light-on action mode. Two LEDs show the status of power, communication and partition detection.
Specifications that matter for planning
- Detection distance: 1.5m maximum effective sensing range
- Light source: infrared LED at 850nm
- Response time: less than 0.5 ms
- Supply: DC 12-24 V, ±10%
- Control output: NPN or PNP, selected by wiring; 100 mA output current
- Cable: 10m included
- Protection: IP65 rating, with power reverse, output short-circuit and output reverse protection
- Working temperature: -35 to 55 °C; storage -40 to 70 °C, no icing or dew
- Humidity: 35 to 85 %RH during operation
- Housing: ABS body with PMMA lens
Where it fits in Qatar
A typical case is a hotel ballroom in West Bay that is divided by a folding partition into two parallel sessions and opened fully for gala dinners. Mounting a YPS20 at the partition track lets the AV set-up follow the layout the team has chosen, so fewer staff need to reset displays and audio before each booking.
In a school in Al Wakrah, an assembly hall split into two classrooms during the Sunday to Thursday timetable can use the same approach. The sensor sits at the partition, the AP08 handles the GPIO connection, and the controller applies the setting for the current layout. A corporate boardroom in Lusail that opens onto a larger hall for committee meetings follows the same logic.
Near a window facing the sun, the stated working range of -35 to 55 °C gives a wide margin, but the sensor should still be kept out of direct sunlight. The datasheet gives a sunlight illumination limit of below 10000 lx. Confirm the exact position during a site survey.
What to plan before installation
- Measure the distance from the sensor position to the partition surface and keep it within the 1.5m effective range.
- Route the included 10m cable from the sensor to the AP08 GPIO interface, keeping it clear of doors and moving parts.
- Confirm the DC 12-24 V supply and whether your controller needs NPN or PNP output.
- Test sensitivity after mounting with the knob, using white paper as the reference surface.
