ICP Electronics EBDSPIR-AT-AD User manual

Overview
The EBDSPIR-AT-AD is a passive infrared (PIR) motion
sensor combined with two output channels capable of
controlling incandescent, fluorescent and compact
fluorescent lighting.
Output Channel 1 comprises a mains voltage relay capable
of simple on/off switching, while Output Channel 2 provides
dimmable control of 1-10V ballasts.
Functioning as a presence detector, the unit can turn lights
on when a room is occupied and off when the room is
empty. Optional settings allow lights to be turned off in
response to ambient daylight, or to implement a maintained
illuminance (constant light) system. The unit also includes
stored scenes for versatile manual control of lighting levels.
The EBDSPIR-AT-AD can be used as a standalone unit or
integrated with other devices as part of a system. The
built-in RF transceiver allows wireless communication with
all other An-10®compatible products, e.g. the AT-BB-IN
Input Unit, useful for push-button scene selection and
absence detection.
All functionality is fully programmable.

Choosing a Suitable Location
The EBDSPIR-AT-AD is designed to be ceiling mounted
and must satisfy the following criteria:
 Avoid positioning the unit where direct sunlight may
enter the sensor element.
 Do not site the sensor within 1m of any lighting, forced
air heating or ventilation.
 Do not fix the sensor to an unstable or vibrating
surface.
 Position the sensor so that the occupants of the room
fall inside the detection zone shown in below.
Note that the detection zone illustrated is based on a
recommended mounting height of 2.8m. A lower height
will decrease the overall size of the detection zone.

by channel 1.
 Presence or absence detection
(with or without Lux Level control).
 Manual scene/level control using
IR Handset or AT-BB-IN Input Unit
and associated switch/button
plate.
 Optional Maintained Illuminance
Level control.
Functionality
 Simple On/Off load control.
 Presence detection.
 Absence detection using an AT-
BB-IN Input Unit and associated
switch/button plate.
 Manual On/Off control using IR
Handset.
 Lux switching.
Channel 1 (switched output) of the EBDSPIR-AT-AD can
either be used to switch a separate channel of standard,
non-dimming luminaires, or to isolate the mains supply to
dimming ballasts (saving on the standby current of the
ballasts).
Multiple luminaires may be connected in parallel to
Channel 1 (via the Nand L/Out terminals) as long as the
maximum total load is not exceeded.
Channel 2 (dimmable output) of the EBDSPIR-AT-AD can
be used to control the light output of luminaires that are
fitted with dimming ballasts/transformers.
Up to 10 ballasts/transformers can be connected in parallel
to Channel 2 (via the DIM–and DIM+ terminals). Ensure
that correct polarity is maintained at each ballast.
The wiring examples below show common methods of
connecting the output channels for a single detector unit.

When power is applied to the unit, the load will turn on immediately.
Vacate the room or remain very still and wait for the load to switch off (this should take around 10 minutes).
Check that the load switches on when movement is detected.
The unit is now ready for programming.
Power-up test procedure
What if the load does not turn ON?
 Check that the live supply to the circuit is good.
 Check that the load is functioning by bypassing the sensor (e.g. link terminals Land L/ Out on Channel1).
 Check that the unit is correctly addressed, see ‘Step 1: Set channel addresses and channel load type’ on page 7.
 If the detection range is smaller than expected, check the diagrams in page 2. Rotating the sensor slightly may
improve the detection range.
HINT: The Walk Test LED function can be used to check that the unit is detecting movement in the required area
(see page 8 for further details).
What if the load does not turn OFF?
 Ensure that the area is left unoccupied for longer than the Time Adjustment Period (default is 10 minutes).
 Ensure that the sensor is not adjacent to circulating air, heaters or lamps.
HINT: The Walk Test LED function can be used to check that the unit is detecting movement in the required area
(see page 8 for further details).

Basic programming
The functionality of the EBDSPIR-AT-AD Sensor is
controlled by a number of parameters which can be
changed or programmed by any of the following devices:
 UHS4 Infrared Handset
 UNLCDHS Infrared Handset (with LCD)
For most basic programming operations the UHS4 handset
is recommended and the following procedures are based
on using this device.
Point the handset at the Sensor and send the required
programming commands to the unit as shown in Steps 1, 2
and 3.
Valid commands will be indicated by a green LED flash.
See page 1 for details of other LED responses.

Basic programming
Step 1: Set channel addresses and channel load type
The Sensor has two output channels:
 Channel 1 - Switched Output
 Channel 2 - Dimmable Output
and one input channel:
 Channel 3 - PIR Sensor
To relate the function of different channels it is necessary
to set the addresses correctly. For example, a scene
select message sent from a device with a Local Code of 1
will only be actioned by devices that also have a Local
Code of 1.
To program the settings for a specific channel on the
Sensor you must specify the appropriate channel number
(i.e.1 to 3) using the programming device.
If no channel number (or channel 0) is specified, all
channels will be set to the same address.
The output channels also have Circuit numbers. This
allows different physical channels to be linked and
controlled as a single Circuit.
Channel 2 (the dimmable output) can control 1-10V
ballasts.
Note: for applications where there is only one channel of lighting
being controlled in a room there is no need to select the channel
number.

Step 2: Set-up sensor functionality
Detection Mode
The Detection Mode for both output Channels 1 and 2 can
be set to behave in Presence or Absence mode:
 Presence mode allows a channel to turn on when
movement is detected. Once turned on, if no movement
is detected the Time Adjustment (10 minutes by
default) the channel will turn off.
 Absence mode requires the channel to be turned on by
some other means (e.g. by issuing a Scene Select
message via an Input Unit or IR Handset). Once turned
on, if no movement is detected for period of time (the
Time Adjustment) the channel will turn off.
In either case, sensitivity to movement of the PIR sensor
(Channel 3) can be adjusted using the Sensitivity
parameter (set to 5 by default).
HINT: To assist in setting the Sensitivity, turn on the Walk
Test LED which will flash red when movement is detected.
By default when the detector turns on Local Scene 1 is
selected. When the detector turns off Local Scene 20 is
selected. See ‘Scenes Used for Occupancy Detection’ in
Step 3 for further details.
Switch Level On/Off
Occupancy detection can be made dependant on the
ambient light level using the Lux On Level and Lux Off
Level parameters.
Maintained Illuminance
The detector measures the overall light level in the
detection area and calculates the correct output for the
luminaires, to achieve a preset lux level (maintained
illuminance or daylight harvesting).
By specifying a Maintained Illuminance Light Level the unit
adjusts the output Channel levels to maintain a near
constant light level.
Programming Maintained Illuminance Light Level
 Presence detection Sensing mode (below)
 Absence detection Scene mode (opposite)
Basic programming
Note: for applications where there is only one channel of lighting
being controlled in a room there is no need to select the channel
number.

The EBDSPIR-AT-AD has capacity to store 20 Local
Scenes and 120 Area Scenes. By default all Scenes are
pre-programmed with the following channel levels, but
these can be changed as required:
NOTE: Local Scene 20 and Area Scene 120 are
designated ‘off’ scenes within a system and should
normally be programmed with all channels off or at zero.
Scenes can be recalled by using an IR Handset or by a
switch/button plate via an AT-BB-IN Input Unit.

Ch1 on on on on on on ... on off

Ch1 on on on on on on ... on off
Ch2 100% 75% 50% 25% 100% 75% ... 50% 0%
Step 3: Re-program scenes
Each Scene has a Fade Rate, which is the time taken for
the existing output channel levels to fade to the levels
defined in the selected Scene. By default this is set to 3
seconds for all Scenes.
Each Scene also has a Maintained Illuminance Level
setting. By default this is set to 0 (i.e. disabled) for all
Scenes.
Scenes Used for Occupancy Detection
If movement is detected (in Presence mode), Local On
Scene 1 is selected. By default this switches Channel 1
On and sets Channel 2 to 100% with a 1 second Fade
Rate.
If no movement is detected for the Time Adjustment Period
(in Presence or Absence mode), Local Off Scene 20 is
selected. By default this switches Channel 1 Off and sets
Channel 2 to 0% with a 1 second Fade Rate.
NOTE: These ‘On’ and ‘Off’ Scene selections cannot be
changed using the UHS4 handset. You can, however,
reprogram the levels for Scenes 1 and 20 if required.

Example 1: Offices and corridor
Application examples
Example 1 shows two small offices, each with four downlighters controlled by a single EBDSPIR-AT-AD sensor. These
are set-up for Presence detection such that the lights turn on when anyone enters the room and turn off when the room
is vacated.
Similarly, the corridor lights are controlled by two sensors such that if either sensor detects movement, all of the corridor
lights turn on. Note that only one sensor is physically wired to the lighting circuit.
In this arrangement the devices in each room need to be programmed with a unique Local Code, although the two
devices in the corridor share the same code so that they can both control the corridor lights.
In addition, each unit needs its Time Adjustment Period set to an appropriate value.
