1. Introduction
Auro is everything a motion sensor should be: small, fast and almost invisible. When mounted in
the ceiling, the innovative flat design makes Auro completely blend in. Only requiring an opening of
1.7”, it is very easy to install.
Auro has a built-in light sensor to use for light dependent switching, dimming and controlling
scenes.
The internal temperature sensor discretely reports the room temperature on the Cresnet bus, while
it can also be used to trigger a heat alarm in case of an abnormal temperature rise.
With a vertical detection angle of 90° it has a detection area with a diameter of 16 ft when installed
at a height of 8 ft, making it perfect for hallways, toilets and small rooms.
Auro connects directly to the Cresnet bus without additional interface.

2. Installation
The Basalte Auro motion sensor is intended for ceiling mounting. To install Auro, an opening should
be made with a diameter of 43 mm (1.7 in).
Connect the Cresnet bus according the Crestron installation guidelines.
The minimal depth required for Auro is 39 mm (1.5 in). Additional depth should be reserved to
connect the device.
After a Cresnet bus voltage failure or a bus reset, Auro will not be ready for operation for at least 5
seconds, due to its initialisation process.

3. General functions
The Basalte Auro motion sensor will report any motion detected when entering the sensor’s
detection area. The sensor will stay active for as long as the movement takes place.
Auro’s central Led can follow motion, indicating when the sensor is active, or it can manually be
controlled over the Cresnet bus.
Auro has a built-in light sensor which can be used for light dependent switching, dimming and
scene control. The lux value can be reported cyclically or on a minimal value change.
Auro has a built-in temperature sensor as well, discretely reporting the room temperature on the
Cresnet bus, while it can also be used to trigger a heat alarm in case of abnormal temperature rise.
The temperature value can be reported cyclically or on a minimal value change, both in degrees
Celsius or Fahrenheit.
In SIMPL Windows, a ‘Basalte Auro Configuration’ module is used for every Auro motion sensor in
the project, to define the functionality of the sensor.

4. Changing the Basalte Auro Cresnet ID
A Basalte Auro Motion sensor’s Cresnet ID is factory set to 25.
To change the Cresnet ID, you can use the Network Device Tree View in Crestron Toolbox.
Right-click on a discovered Basalte Auro and press the Change Network ID ... button.
A new pop-up-window allows you to change the Cresnet ID.
To identify multiple Basalte Auro motion sensors, you can use the Identify This Device ... button
when right-clicking a Basalte Auro again. A new pop-up-window gives an overview of all Cresnet
devices in identification mode.
A request is then sent on the Cresnet bus to the selected Basalte Auro. The Polling Mode Status
says, ‘Start requested, Start in progress’.
After some seconds, this status will change to ‘Active’, and the corresponding Auro’s internal Led
will start flashing White. Now press the ‘recessed button’on the back of the Auro. The Polling
Mode Status will change to ‘Pressed’. Pressing the OK button will bring you back to the Network
Device Tree View. Now you can change the Cresnet ID of the identified sensor.
Note: The recessed button is not accessible after physical installation. Make sure all auro devices
are properly identified before installation.

5. Programming in SIMPL Windows
5.1 Adding a Basalte Auro motion sensor
A Basalte Auro motion sensor is added to the Cresnet Bus like any other Cresnet device, using the
Configure System window.
You can select the Basalte Auro from the ‘Cresnet Control Modules / Cresnet Sensing Modules’
folder in the Device Library on the left pane, and drag it to the processor’s Cresnet Bus on the
upper right pane.
The Basalte Auro motion sensor will be appended to the (if any) already existing Cresnet Devices.
To change the Cresnet ID of the Basalte Auro motion sensor, you can right-click the desired Auro
and press the Configure button. The Net ID tab on the new pop-up-window allows you to select
another Cresnet ID.
Another way of adding the Basalte Auro motion sensor to the Cresnet Bus is by using the Device
tree in the lower right pane.
Right click on the desired Cresnet ID and press the Add item to ... button. A new pop-up window
will allow you to select the Basalte Auro motion sensor from the available Cresnet devices.

An overview of all available signals on the Basalte Auro motion sensor symbol:
Signal Name and Type
Description
Digital input:
<LED>
The Auro’s internal Led can be controlled by this digital input.
When the ‘Led Mode’ is set to ‘Follow Motion’, this digital input
will be overruled by the motion feedback.
The ‘Led Mode’ is set using the ‘Basalte Auro Configuration’
module.
High/1 = Led On; Low/0 = Led Off
Digital output:
<Motion>
This output will be pulsed High as long as there is any motion
detected.
High/1 (pulse) = Motion detected
Analog output:
<Lux_Sensor_FB>
Reports the ambient light in the room using Auro’s internal
light sensor.
Depending on the report type, the lux value will be updated
cyclically or at a certain change in value.
The report type can be set using the ‘Basalte Auro
Configuration’ module.
Valid values range from 0 to 4500, depending on the set
parameters.
Analog output:
<Temperature_FB>
Reports the temperature measured by Auro’s internal sensor,
in tenths of a degree Celsius or Fahrenheit.

5.3 Basalte Auro Configuration module
Each Basalte Auro on the Cresnet bus requires a ‘Basalte Auro Configuration’ module. This module
allows to change the parameters for each Auro, and to send this custom configuration to the
Basalte Auro.
Be sure to include the ‘Basalte Auro Configuration.umc’ file in the same SIMPL Windows project
folder. The module should be visible in the Symbol Library Pane.
Add as many of these modules to the project as there are Basalte Auro on the Cresnet Bus.
