PROGRAMMING EXAMPLES AND TIPS
Outdoor installation using Setpoint and Photocell features
High Mode 8.0 Volts
Low Mode 2.4 Volts
Time Delay 5 min
Cut Off Dis
Sensitivity Med
Setpoint 15
Ramp Up Dis
Fade Down Dis
Photocell 30
This configuration will set the luminaire to turn on at dusk when the
ambient light level drops below 15 fc (161 lx). When motion is detected,
the luminaire will switch to high mode. If after 5 minutes no motion is
detected, then it will switch to low mode. If the ambient light level is
greater than 15 fc but less than 30 fc (322 lx), then the luminaire will
stay in low mode, even if motion is detected. When the ambient light
level rises above 30 fc, then the luminaire will turn off and remain off
until the light level drops back below 15 fc.
Tip: It may be necessary to adjust the setpoint and photocell values
to compensate for reflected light from the luminaire or adjacent light
sources. Check the light level by reading the current settings using the
programming tool. If the light level is higher than the photocell value,
the luminaire will turn off. If this behavior is not desired, then increase
the photocell value. If the luminaire is staying in low mode, then it may
be necessary to increase the setpoint value.
Tip: When checking light level, wait ~5 seconds after a sudden change
in light level (e.g. luminaire switching from high to low mode). It may be
necessary to take more than one reading.
Indoor installation with Cut Off
High Mode 10 Volts
Low Mode 5.0 Volts
Time Delay 2 min
Cut Off 5 min
Sensitivity High
Setpoint Dis=
Ramp Up Dis
Fade Down 5 sec
Photocell Dis
In this configuration the luminaire dim to low mode with a 5-second
fade down after 2 minutes elapse with no motion detection. After 5
minutes, the luminaire will turn off. When motion is detected, the
luminaire will switch to high mode. The luminaire will not be affected by
the ambient light level.
TROUBLESHOOTING
NO RESPONSE SCREEN APPEARS:
• Make sure that the sensor is not obstructed.
• Move closer to the sensor. A ladder or lift may be required.
• The angle may be too high, move closer so that you are directly
underneath the sensor.
• Make sure that multiple sensors are not in the range of the
transceiver. If this happens, then all of the luminaires will cycle.
• If still not successful, there may be too much IR interference from
other sources. Programming the unit at night may be the only way
to communicate with the sensor.
LIGHTS WILL NOT GO TO HIGH MODE:
• Make sure that the sensor is not obstructed. The sensor must
detect motion to switch to HIGH mode. The red LED indicator will
blink when motion is detected.
• Check the light level parameter, to find out the amount of light
that the sensor is detecting. Cover the sensor lens to simulate
darkness in the room. If the luminaire goes to high mode, then the
setpoint needs to be adjusted to a value greater than the detected
light level. See the new settings and current settings sections for
instructions.
• If the light level is higher than the setpoint value but less than
the photocell value, then the luminaire will remain in low mode.
Adjust the setpoint and photocell values as needed.
• Make sure that the high and low settings are correct by checking
the current settings.
LIGHTS WILL NOT GO INTO LOW MODE:
The time delay can be set from a minimum of 30 seconds to a maximum
of 30 minutes. Ensure that the time delay is set to the desired value and
that there is no movement within the sensor’s view for that time period.
• To quickly test the unit operation, enable Test Mode and move out
of the sensor’s view. The luminaire should go to LOW mode after 5
seconds.
LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF:
• Cut Off time may be set to “None.”
• Ensure that the Cut Off is set to the desired time and that there is
no movement within the sensor’s view for that time period when
the lights are in Low Mode.
• To quickly test the unit operation, enable test mode and move out
of the sensor’s view. The luminaire should switch to LOW mode
after 5 seconds and then turn OFF (if cut off is enabled) after 10
sec.
• If the luminaire does not turn off in daylight, check the ambient
light level. Adjust the photocell setting to a value lower than the
ambient light level. The setpoint may also need to be adjusted if
the difference is less than 10 fc.
• Make sure that the Sensitivity field is not set to On-Fix.
LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN ON:
• Check all wire connections and verify that the load and the ground
wires are tightly secured.
• Check the current settings. If the setpoint value is lower than the
ambient light level, the luminaire will be held OFF. Increase the
setpoint value.
• Disable the cut off function, if not desired.
• Make sure that the Sensitivity field is not set to Off-Fix.
OPERATION DURING POWER-UP
During the sensor warm-up period, which can last up to a minute after
initial power-up (or after a lengthy power outage), the load will remain
ON until the selected time delay expires.
