Mounting Details
Installation Guidelines
The MLSM2000A Control Module is designed to be mounted within the luminaire on fixing centres of 135mm.
2
Connections to the control module as shown above should be made using single-core wire (0.5-1.5mm ).
The interconnect cable between the detector head and the control module should be routed away from other luminaire
internal wiring and away from the lamp end-caps.
The recommended position for the detector is in the middle of the luminaire. Where this is not possible and the detector
is fitted near one end of the lamps, please ensure that the detector is at the ‘cold’ end of the lamps.
The DHW/S Mini Head should be mounted such that only the raised front section of the bezel protrudes through the
cut out in the louvre or infill panel. This should be constructed in accordance with the dimensions above.
1. The Mini Detector Head must be mounted within the luminaire. Do not mount remotely.
2. The connecting cable must not be extended.
3. Artificial light illuminating the Mini Detector Head must only be reflected from the room - i.e. there must be no direct
illumination.
4. In order to achieve satisfactory light-level regulating operation, a detector must observe a substantially greater
proportion of artificial light from the luminaire(s) under its control than from neighbouring luminaires not under its
control. This is particularly important when planning the installed layout of linear luminaires that have an integral
detector positioned at one end.

Advanced Features
Photocell
The MLSM2000A incorporates a photocell which can be configured to operate in three different modes, selectable from within
the product’s menus on the QuickSet Pro Programmer. These modes are ‘regulating’, passive’ and ‘none’. Note that in any
mode of operation, the photocell affects the light output only when the Entry Scene is set to Scene 1.
Setting the regulating photocell
The MLSM2000A is set by default to operate in ‘regulating’ mode. Using the QuickSet Pro, enter the Utilities menu and select
‘LightSpot/MLS/LCM’ then ‘Set Light Level’. Use the ‘up’ and ‘down’ buttons to manually adjust the light output from the
luminaire(s) and when at the required level press and hold ‘OK’ to store. The luminaire(s) will blink to acknowledge a successful
store operation.
Setting the passive photocell
Use Passive mode in applications where light level regulation is not required (eg, when controlling non-dimmable ballasts) but
it is desirable to hold off the controlled lighting when natural light is sufficient.
The parameter ‘Threshold’ on the QuickSet Pro menu is used to program the MLSM2000A’s passive photocell set point,
which determines whether the lights will be allowed to turn on as an unoccupied area is entered. The threshold is programmed
as a number between 1 (darkest) and 254 (brightest). This number is not scaled to correlate with ‘lux’ measurements made
using a light meter, but nevertheless is a true representation of the light level perceived by the MLSM2000A.
In order to assist with selection of the appropriate threshold setting, the light level currently perceived by the detector (in terms
of a number between 1 and 254) can be viewed on the QuickSet screen briefly following a download operation. The number
represents the light level immediately before the download operation took place. Tip: turn the lights off first using the IR
Remote menu found in Utilities if you want to measure the perceived ambient light level with no contribution from the
controlled lighting.
Note: When setting the regulating light level as described in the previous section, the Threshold is also set to the current
measured level.
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 requires the use of the QuickSet Pro Programmer.
Commissioning Detectors using the QuickSet Pro Programmer
It is important that the Programmer be held perpendicular between 0.5m and 2m from the sensor.
1. Switch on by pressing any button (and unlock with top left rectangular button).
2. Point the programmer at detector and press the DOWNLOAD button. The programmer 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.
4. When options for all parameters have been selected, point the programmer at the detector and press the
UPLOAD button. The luminaire(s) will switch off briefly during the programming process.
5. After a short period of inactivity (default 5 minutes), the programmer hibernates retaining the most recent
settings.
OneSwitch Dimming
OneSwitch dimming affords local control to the end-user whereby a simple, momentary, push-to-make wallswitch
can be used to raise or lower the lighting level or to toggle the output ON/OFF. A press of less than 1 second will
toggle the output status while a longer press will raise or lower the output. Each time the switch is pressed, the
direction of dimming reverses. If the switch has not been pressed for 5 seconds, the direction will be up (brighter) -
unless the output is already above 90% in which case the direction is down. A wiring diagram is shown left.
To Test with HC5A Hand-held Controller
Once the MLS Luminaire Controllers have been installed within the luminaires, the HC5A may be used to dim and
brighten luminaires and to switch them ON and OFF. One of 6 different lighting scenes can also be recalled.

Important Additional Notes
1. A means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the current wiring regulations.
2. The dimming control output should be connected only to the control input of the ballasts - never to other detectors.
3. This equipment should be used to control only those ballasts powered from the same phase as the detector.
4. Do not connect mains to the MLS bus.
2
5. It is imperative that the MLS bus is wired with the correct type of cable; normally it should be 1.5mm unscreened twisted pair. Please read
Application Note AN4001 for more details.
6. 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.
7. This equipment switches lights no more frequently than would a responsible human occupant. However, manufacturers of some lighting types
(e.g. ‘2D’ luminaires) may specify a maximum number of switching cycles in order to achieve a predicted lamp life. Please check with the
manufacturer of the luminaires to ensure that they are compatible with automatic controls in this respect.
8. Some devices in this product range feature a silvered surface finish; this is intended for decorative purposes only. Care should be taken to
avoid accidental separation of the silvered coating from the product. If the unit is built into a luminaire that is subsequently wrapped in film
having adhesive properties, it is recommended that a layer of suitable packaging material be used to protect the silvered area.
