Programmable occupancy sensors that control the on / off operation of a fluorescent lamp automatically determine loss of lamp life as the lamp is used. The programmable occupancy sensors can provide lamp life status and can automatically alert a user when a lamp is nearing its end of life and should be replaced. The occupancy sensors are also programmable to automatically maximize lamp life and energy savings by selecting an optimal time delay from among a number of selectable time delays at which to operate the sensor. The selection is based on an occupancy pattern sensed by the sensor over a given period of time. The optimal time delay, which prevents the lamp from turning off immediately after last sensing occupancy, extends lamp life by limiting the number of lamp off / on transitions, which shortens lamp life, in view of overall energy usage and lamp usage.

An remote observation system including a hypertext data transmitter for transmitting hypertext data from an observation object side to an office side through a data transmission line connecting therebetween, and a hypertext display unit for displaying at the office side the hypertext data sent from the observation object side. The hypertext data consist of a combination of fixed image data representing a plant in its entirety and status data of various portions of the plant, which are collected by a data collection device. This makes it possible to solve a problem of a conventional remote observation system in that only insufficient information is acquired at the office side because the office side is not directly connected with the observation object side, and hence the office side can acquire the information on the states of the observation object side only when the observation object side sends reports to the office side.
