GETTING STARTED
OVERVIEW
The DLA system transforms xtures from third-party manufacturers into an intelligent light with high-performance sensors, power
metering, full-range dimming, and software optimization capabilities.
There are two categories of DLA components: DLA sensors and DLA adapters.
• DLA sensors measure occupancy and ambient light. They also control connected xtures through a direct link with Philips SR
(Sensor Ready) drivers, DALI drivers, or through 0-10 V adapters (for older 0-10 V LED drivers). DLA sensors communicate
wirelessly with the LightRules system to receive commands and send data.
• DLA adapters measure xture power consumption. They also convert the digital commands from DLA sensors into an analog
0-10 V signal for use with 0-10 V dimming LED drivers.
Note that this document covers DLA sensors. Please refer to the DLA Adapter Installation Instructions for adapter setup.
SENSOR TYPES
DLA-R (Recessed Mount)
Use the DLA-R when you want to blend the sensor into an environment by mounting ush to a junction box or
a ceiling tile.
DLA-E (Philips EvoKit)
The DLA-E is designed to install in the mounting slot of the Philips EvoKit SR retrot kit.
DLA-S (Surface Mount)
Featuring an IP65 rating, use the DLA-S in challenging environments. DLA-S mounts to a ceiling surface or
NEMA 4 or weatherproof junction box.
DLA-I (Integrated Mount)
The DLA-I mounts directly to into any third-party xture — the housing mounts inside and the lens assembly
extends externally.
HELPFUL HINTS
• Install the DLA sensor in a manner so as to provide a clear eld of view for the lens.
• Do not mount the DLA sensor within 5 ft (1.5 m) of an air vent.
• Consult the DLA specication sheets for detail regarding mounting heights and occupancy sensor coverage patterns.

Once the fully installed DLA unit, including adapter and sensor, is powered ON, you can verify that the equipment is receiving
power by locating the DLA heartbeat. Look at the sensor lens: Every 30 seconds, you should see a blinking red LED indicator.
Note that until the DLA unit is programmed using Commissioner software, the DLA unit will use the following settings, which
effectively tell the connected light xture(s) to remain ON at 100%, with no occupancy sensing:
• Active Light Level: 100%
• Inactive Light Level: 100%
• Occupancy Sensor Delay: Sensor Inactive
Heartbeat Indicator
Step Three: Update the Sticker Book
Guidelines
• Each DLA comes with an extra metallic serial number label.
• It is critical that you adhere the label to the sticker book, which represents the facility’s
oor plan. Place the label in the box that corresponds to the relative location of the DLA
within the facility.
• Note that without an accurate and complete sticker book, the facility’s lighting management
software cannot be programmed and the installation process may be delayed.
• The project manager will provide access to the sticker book.
