1General Information
The sensor is supplied with 24 VDC via the Zhaga connector and may never be connected
to the 230 VAC mains under any circumstances.
Make sure that the sensor is correctly mounted and locked.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage caused by improper use.
2Mounting Instructions
The sensor supports the Zhaga connectivity standard for plug and play luminaire
extension. This allows flexible integration into luminaires without tools. The connectivity
interface is designed according to Zhaga Book 18 Ed. 2.
2.1 Installation on the Luminaire
Important: Mounting the sensor incorrect might lead to malfunctions or permanent
damage.
Press and rotate clockwise until the
sensor locks into place
Zhaga Book 18 Ed. 2
Important: The sensor must be
attached to the DOWNWARD
facing Zhaga-connector
When the sensoris locked in place,
the white marking on the sensor
has to point towards the street.

In the illustration below, the lix.solo sensor is mounted on the lower Zhaga socket. A D4i-
compatible luminaire controller must be mounted on the upper Zhaga socket.
Figure 1: lix.solo Luminaire Mounting
Important: The lix.solo sensor is a pure motion detector, which is without function
without a likewise connected luminaire controller (DiiA Part 351 Type B Device).
3Detection Area of the Sensor
The lix.solo sensor is equipped with two radar sensors that look from the luminaire to the
right and left into the road. Pedestrians are detected on both sides at approx. 20 m to 25
m, cars up to approx. 70 m, trucks and buses at 100 m and more.
Depending on an inclination of the luminaire or an inclination of the lower Zhaga socket on
the luminaire, the detection range changes. This is shown in Figure 2. The sensor is
designed for an inclination of 0° to 30°.

4lix.solo Status LEDs
The lix.solo sensor has three status LEDs, which are visible for the user. The meaning of the
LEDs is as follows:
-Red LED: Lights up when an object is detected
-Green LED: Lights up at a restart until the first valid DALI frame, which is addressed
to the lix.solo, has been received
-Blue LED: Lights up during initialization of the radio module
5lixtec USB-Stick
A lixtec USB-Stick is required to use the lix.solo Configurator. It is plugged into a Windows
notebook or PC and establishes a wireless connection to lix.solo sensors within range.
Figure 3: lixtec USB-Stick
6lix.solo Configurator
The configuration of the lix.solo sensors is possible via the lix.solo Configurator. This is a
user-friendly Windows app for displaying and configuring the lix.solo sensor.

lix.solo_User Manual_EN_1.0.docx Page 6 of 16
After starting the app, the basic view looks like this:
Figure 4: Basic View lix.solo Configurator
6.1 Connecting to a lix.solo Sensor
Clicking the "Scan" button searches for lix.solo sensors within range. If a lix.solo sensor is
within range, this (or several) will appear in the field below the "Scan" button as "lixtec
Sensor ...".
Figure 5: lix.solo Configurator / Scan

lix.solo_User Manual_EN_1.0.docx Page 7 of 16
If a "lixtec sensor" is selected from the list with the mouse, a click on the "Identify" button
helps to identify which sensor you are connected to.
Figure 6: lix.solo Configurator / Identify
The connected sensor will play a flashing sequence with the 3 status LEDs (red, green,
blue) lasting several seconds after clicking the "Identify" button.
Figure 7: lix.solo / Flashing Sequence

Important: In the factory default settings, all lix.solo sensors are set to RF channel “0”
and have no pin code set. If adjustments have already been made here, lix.solo
sensors on a different RF channel or with a set pin will not be found via a "Scan".
6.2 Basic Settings of the lix.solo Sensor
If a "lixtec sensor" is selected from the list with the mouse, clicking on the "Basic Settings"
button opens a pop-up window with the basic settings.
Figure 8: lix.solo Sensor / Basic Settings
-“Enable Left/Right Sensor”: By removing or setting the checkmark in the box and
confirming with "Save", the left or right sensor will be deactivated or activated.
-„Sensitivity Left/Right…“: The sensitivity of the two radar sensors can be adjusted
independently of each other. If there is an increase in false triggering (e.g. due to
cross traffic), the sensitivity can be adjusted in 10% steps between 10% and 100%.
Any change needs to be confirmed by clicking on the "Save" button.
-„Defaults“: By clicking this button and confirming with "Save", the factory settings
are restored.
-„Cancel“: Clicking this button closes the pop-up window without changing the
settings.

6.3 Settings Menu of the lix.solo Sensor
If you click on the menu item "Sensor" in the lix.solo Configurator, a window with several
selection options will open.
Figure 9: Sensor Options
-„Basic Settings“: Clicking on this menu item opens the pop-up window with the
basic settings of the sensor (see 6.2 Basic Settings of the lix.solo Sensor).
-„Reset Default Settings“: Clicking this menu item resets all settings of the sensor to
the factory settings, including the RF channel ("0") and the pin code ("0").
-„Set Pin Code“: Clicking on this menu item opens a pop-up window in which a pin
code for the sensor can be set from "0" to "9999999". "0" means no pin code. By
checking "Change Configurator Pin Code", the Configurator is also set to this pin
code at the same time.

lix.solo_User Manual_EN_1.0.docx Page 10 of 16
Figure 10: Sensor / Set Pin Code
-„Set RF Channel“: Clicking on this menu item opens a pop-up window in which the
RF channel for the sensor can be set from "0" to "39". By setting the checkmark at
"Change Configurator Pin Code", the Configurator is also set to this channel at the
same time.
Figure 11: Sensor / Set RF Channel
-„Identify When you click on this button, the connected sensor will play a flashing
sequence with the 3 status LEDs (red, green, blue) for several seconds so that you
can see which sensor you are currently connected to (see also 6.1 Connecting to a
lix.solo Sensor).
