OS-NET Programming Guide
OS-NET Programming Guide R0 3
1. Overview
Thank you for your interest in OS-NET, a simpler and smarter wireless lighting control solution developed by IR-TEC to
enable sophisticated controls on every luminaire and circuit. The OS-NET is a wireless sensor mesh network
simultaneously deployed through installing the OS-NET enabled luminaires and circuits. The OS-NET enabled luminaire
refers to the luminaire integrated with an OS-NET sensor or controller, and the OS-NET enabled lighting circuit refers to
the power line electrically controlled by an OS-NET sensor or controller.
The OS-NET network is formed by a number of wirelessly connected OS-NET devices, including the fundamental OS-NET
Sensors (ONS), the supplementary OS-NET Controllers (ONC), and the optional OS-NET Buttons (ONB). Each device not
only provides its distinctive functionalities, but also operates as a node to transmit, receive, or forward wireless
communication commands within network.
After installing an OS-NET enabled lighting system, every OS-NET device should be grouped and linked with the network
to enable wireless control via operating a SRP-281, a 2-way IR remote programmer exclusively designed for configuring
OS-NET devices. This guide is intended to help you conduct all necessary configurations and settings correctly.
2. Basic Operation
The SRP-281 is a handheld programming tool for you to configure the settings of OS-NET network and devices. In
addition, it can be used as a remote to control (on/off/dim) the OS-NET enabled lighting in individual/group basis.
Before operating the SRP-281, ensure that good batteries are correctly placed in the compartment. Press any key will
activate the MAIN MENU for operating. 6 keys are available for operation with distinctive functions described as below;

3.2 GROUP LINK setting
GROUP LINK is a fundamental setting for all OS-NET devices of an OS-NET enabled lighting system. Every OS-NET device,
regardless of luminaire integrated or ceiling mounted, must be assigned to at least one control group in order to link
up the network. To conduct GROUP LINK setting, press from MAIN MENU and select the GROUP LINK to enter
the setting pages. Three items are available for settings as below.
EZ-GROUP
The group control of OS-NET devices is actually a combined operation of TRANSMITTING and RECEIVING groups. When
any OS-NET sensor of the group detects the presence of occupant, it will transmit the OCC signal with the
TRANSMITTING group number it belongs, to the OS-NET devices with the same RECEIVING group number to execute the
programmed control respectively.
The EZ-GROUP setting allows you to quickly complete the network linking and grouping of all OS-NET devices. EZ-GROUP
will set all the OS-NET devices assigned to the same group with identical group numbers for the TRANSMITTING and
RECEIVING groups. The following procedures of EZ-GROUP setting are listed as below;
1. After entering the EZ-GROUP page, 4 lines of MBR OF GRP (Member of Group) will be available for assignment.
2. Press or to select the group numbers (max. 4) assigned for the target device. Press to confirm
the selection.
3. Aim at the target device and press to upload the data while also link up the network.
NOTE: The target device will blink its LED in BLUE and GREEN intermittently while linking up, and stop after linkage
completed.
ADVANCED
Although general group control requirements for most applications can be achieved by EZ-GROUP setting, some specific
spaces may require sophisticated group control. This may need the ADVANCED setting to achieve.
Example of special group control: When Zone A is occupied, the lighting of Zone A and B should be activated. But when
Zone B is occupied, only the lighting of Zone B are required to be activated.
To achieve the above control, you can use EZ-GROUP to setup the OS-NET devices of Zone A and B with respective group
numbers, then use the ADVANCED setting to change the number of TRANSMITTING or RECEIVING group of zone devices.
You can either add the group number of Zone B to the TRANSMITTING group of Zone A device, or add group number of
Zone A to the RECEIVING group of Zone B device.
UNGROUP
The UNGROUP setting can be used to off-link an OS-NET device from the connected network. Ungrouping an OS-NET
device may be needed if the device has been wrongly grouped, or mistakenly connected to the neighboring network. To
ungroup an OS-NET device, select the UNGROUP under the GROUP LINK page, and press to enter the
UNGROUPING page. Press or to select YES and press to confirm UNGROUPING. Aim toward the
target device and press again to ungroup.
NOTE: An ungrouped OS-NET sensor can still individually control the lighting connected as set, but an ungrouped
OS-NET controller or button cannot execute its control.

OS-NET Programming Guide
OS-NET Programming Guide R0 9
3.3 Creating a new OS-NET network
After completing the installation of an OS-NET enabled lighting system, a new OS-NET network can be created as
instructed below.
1. Ensure the field is free of neighboring OS-NET network.
2. Grouping two new OS-NET devices within 30 seconds by EZ-GROUP setting to create a new OS-NET network.
3. After the network is created, continue to group all other devices of the whole network as planned.
NOTE: To verify the field is free of other OS-NET network, you can select a newly installed OS-NET sensor and test with a
temporary group setting. Wait and observe the LED indicator of the sensor after uploading the group setting data. The
device will beep and the LED will blink from blue to green while linking. If the LED turns to BLUE after linking process
completed, it means that the nearby field is free of any OS-NET network. If the LED remains in GREEN after linking
process completed, it means that the sensor has linked to an open (unlocked) neighboring OS-NET. Execute the
UNGROUP process to off-link the testing sensor from the connected network to prevent the unwanted cross-network
group control.
3.4 Adding more OS-NET devices to an existing network
If more OS-NET devices are installed for adding to an existing network, ensure to UNLOCK the network before grouping
the new device. Once the grouping command is entered, the device will scan for an open (unlocked) OS-NET network on
the field and link up automatically. Continue to group all other new devices before conducting the DEVICE setting.
3.5 DEVICE setting
DEVICE setting is to configure how an OS-NET sensor/controller will control the lighting physically connected. You can
setup the connected OS-NET devices in individual or group basis.
To setup an individual sensor/controller
Select and enter the INDIV-SET after entering the DEVICE setting page. A single lamp sign (5) will display at the
right-top cover of all pages to indicate the settings are for individual sensor/controller.
To setup multiple sensors/controllers in group basis
Select and enter the GROUP-SET to setup up all OS-NET sensors/controllers of the same group with identical settings.
A double lamp sign (55) will display at the right-top cover of all pages to indicate the settings are for grouped sensors
and controllers.
The following are items available for OS-NET sensor/controller setting in display sequence.
CONTROL
Every OS-NET sensor/controller can be set to provide different control modes, from on/off switching, bi-level or
continuous dimming, to connected lighting performance on occupancy sensing and/or daylight sensing control
strategies.
Following table highlights the operational descriptions of available control modes for OS-NET sensor/controller.

OS-NET Programming Guide
OS-NET Programming Guide R0 10
CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
ON/OFF
This is a commonly used occupancy sensing control mode.
Lighting will be inhibited when the ambient light level is higher than the set threshold, regardless of occupancy or
vacancy. When the ambient light level is lower than the set threshold, the controlled light will be automatically
turned on once the sensor detects the presence of occupant, and turned off after the delay time has elapsed.
NOTE: This mode is available for dimmable or non-dimmable lighting, but not for HID lighting.
OSO
This is an occupancy sensing control mode can be applied in spaces that require lighting for 24 hours a day.
When space is vacant, the light will be on at Low Dim level. When space is occupied, lighting output will be instantly
increased to High Dim level or continuously regulated to maintain within a pre-set range by SmartDIM control.
NOTE: This mode requires dimmable lighting to enable dimming control.
OSLA
This is an occupancy sensing control mode can be applied in spaces that require automatic lighting when the
ambient light level is lower than the set threshold.
Lighting will be inhibited when the ambient light level is higher than the set threshold, regardless of occupancy or
vacancy. When the ambient light level is lower than the set threshold, the sensor/controller will automatically set the
light to the Low Dim level. Once the sensor detects the presence of an occupant, the lighting output will be increased
to the High Dim level or continuously regulated within a pre-set range by SmartDIM control. Lighting output will be
reduced to the Low Dim level after delay time elapsed or shut off if the ambient light is higher than the threshold.
NOTE: This mode requires dimmable lighting to enable dimming control. If lighting is non-dimmable, all lights will
remain on whenever the ambient light level is lower than the set threshold.
OSLATO
This is an occupancy sensing control mode can be applied in spaces that require maintaining Low Dim lighting for a
period of time after the delay time has elapsed.
Lighting will be inhibited when the ambient light level is higher than the set threshold, regardless of occupancy or
vacancy. When the ambient light level is lower than the set threshold and any sensor detects the presence of
occupant, the sensor/controller will instantly increase the lighting output to the High Dim level or continuously
regulate the output to maintain overall lighting level within a pre-set range by SmartDIM control. After the delay time
has elapsed, lighting output will be reduced to the Low Dim level for a period of TIME OFF delay
before turning off.
NOTE: This mode requires dimmable lighting to enable dimming control. If lighting is non-dimmable, there will be no
dim control and the delay time will be extended with the TIME OFF (TO) delay.
DSVM
This is a daylight sensing control mode can be applied in spaces that require automatically dimming the lighting
output to a low level between a certain time before and after midnight.
When the ambient light level is lower than the set threshold, the sensor/controller will turn the light to the High Dim
level or continuously regulate the output to maintain overall lighting level within a pre-set range by SmartDIM
control. Lighting output will be reduced to the Low Dim level from a certain time before virtual midnight to a certain
time after. Lighting will be inhibited during daytime.
NOTE: This mode requires dimmable lighting to enable dimming control. If lighting is non-dimmable, all lights will
remain on whenever ambient light level is lower than the set threshold.
DSC
This is a daylight sensing control mode can be applied in spaces that require automatic lighting whenever the
ambient light is lower than the set threshold.
The sensor/controller will automatically turn on the light to the High Dim level or continuously regulate the output to
maintain overall lighting level within a pre-set range by SmartDIM control when the ambient light level is lower than
the set threshold, and automatically turn off the light when the ambient light level is higher than the set threshold.
NOTE: This mode requires dimmable lighting to enable dimming control. If lighting is non-dimmable, all lights will
remain on whenever ambient light level is lower than the threshold.
VSC
This is a vacancy sensing control mode can be applied in spaces that require users to turn on the light manually, and
have the sensor/controller turn off the light automatically.
The occupant would have to press the upper part of OS-NET button to turn the light to the High Dim level or
continuously regulate the output to maintain overall lighting level within a pre-set range by SmartDIM control. The
sensor/controller will control the connected lighting as per OSLATO mode.
NOTE: This mode requires dimmable lighting to enable dimming control. If lighting is non-dimmable, there will be no
dim control and the delay time will be extended with the TIME OFF (TO) delay.
OFF
This is a manual control mode can be used when you need the light to be off for a certain period of time.
Once this mode is set, all lighting controlled by the sensor/controller will remain off until another mode is selected.
