MLS2000CDR - MLS CONNECT Digital Detector for use with CDW10U5 Connection Centre
to switch any type of lighting circuit or to regulate digital DSI or DALI ballasts
Note: Connections to this equipment should be made by a suitably qualified person and in accordance
with the current wiring regulations.
These instructions should be read in conjunction with the CDW10U5 CONNECT Digital CD Box
Connection Centre installation instructions.
MLS CONNECT Digital Detectors are the high-performance, communicating, presence detectors which lie at
the heart of the advanced MLS Digital Managed Lighting System designed for use with CONNECT Digital
Connection Boxes. The detector is equipped with a regulating photocell to work with digital DSI/DALI ballasts.
Fixing
These MLS Detectors are suitable for flush mounting in a suspended ceiling tile, maximum 54mm thick with a
minimum clearance of 125mm between the front surface of the tile and the hard ceiling behind and should be
mounted in the centre of the group of luminaires to be controlled. Do not mount within 25cm of a luminaire. Cut a
50mm diameter circular hole in the tile, feed the detector through the hole and secure in position with the locking
ring. Twist the locking ring to release the detector if necessary. Connect the patch lead to the detector via the
top socket - see diagram on back page. (Access behind the ceiling is required.)
Connection
The dedicated detectors have a socket on the side of the housing to accept the patch lead link to the CD Box.
No further connection is necessary. Detectors must not be linked together.
The patch leads are available in 2m, 3m, 5m and 10m lengths. These must not be joined to make longer links
and only leads supplied by Ex-Or should be used. When installing patch leads, care must be taken to protect the
plug from damage or contamination by dirt or grease etc.
When connecting to the CD Box, observe the hierarchy detailed in the CDW10U5 installation instructions.
Regulating luminaires being controlled should contain a digital regulating ballast with the appropriate DSI or
DALI input. (Ballast types must not be mixed.) When a fixed output HF ballast is being used, the detector will
provide on/off switching through the mains outlet on the CD Box.
All connections to the luminaires will be through the 6-pin outlet on the CD Box. No direct link is required.
Commissioning
Detectors are supplied factory pre-set which ensures the lighting will switch on automatically as soon as power is
applied. Final commissioning of the detectors, including assigning to zones, requires the use of the HP2000
Programmer. Please refer to HP2000 instructions for comprehensive commissioning instructions.
Commissioning Detectors using the HP2000
It is important that the HP2000 be held perpendicular and at a distance of between 0.5m and 2m from the detector.
1. Switch on HP2000 by pressing the red power button.
2. Point HP2000 at detector and press the DOWNLOAD button. The HP2000 will confirm the product’s identity
and call up the correct menu of parameters and their current settings.
3. Use a combination of UP, DOWN, FORWARD and BACK buttons to navigate the parameter menu, selecting
options for each shown. (See Tips below.)
4. When options for all parameters have been selected, point the HP2000 at the detector and press the
UPLOAD button. The luminaire(s) will switch off briefly during the programming process and the HP2000
shows DATA OK to confirm operation.
5. After a short period of inactivity (default 5 minutes), the HP2000 hibernates retaining the most recent settings.
Tips
i) Where there are only two options such as ON/OFF, a double click of the OK button toggles between them.
ii) Where there are multiple options, a double click of the OK button recalls a list of all options for that parameter.
Use the UP, DOWN and OK buttons to select.
iii) Use the OK button to go forward (through the menus) without displaying help pages.
iv) Press UPLOAD at any time to transfer all current settings from the handset to the product.
Important Additional Notes
1. Due to the fact that the photocell is on the ceiling looking down, it is not possible for measurements made with a lux meter
on the working plane to remain constant when daylight illuminates the ceiling and the working plane to a differing extent.
Therefore, products of this type should be regarded as capable of maintaining an APPROXIMATE light level only.
