SAINT-GOBAIN SageGlass Switch User manual

CUT SHEET:
SAGEGLASS SWITCH
The SageGlass®Switch provides manual override control for one or more zones of insulating glass units (IGUs). The
SageGlass Switch includes a user interface keypad and mounting kit for installation in a single or multi-gang box. The keypad
is typically located in the same room that contains the SageGlass IGUs, but this is not a requirement. One or more switches
can be used to control the same zone of IGUs; similarly, one switch may control multiple zones.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The SageGlass Switch contains a tint button, clear button and five LEDs: Automatic Mode,
Full Clear, Level 1, Level 2 and Full Tint. The buttons are used to control the SageGlass IGUs while
the LEDs indicate the current IGU tint level.

The SageGlass Switch contains five LEDs and two independent buttons. A description of each of these is as follows:
LED indicators
• Auto - The “auto” LED will be ON when the zone is in automatic mode. This
LED’s on state is blue.
• Clear – The “clear” LED will be ON when the current commanded state of the
zone is clear. This LED’s on state is white.
• Level 1 – The “Level 1” LED will be ON when the current commanded state of the
zone is at, or closest to the intermediate 1 tint level. This LED’s on state is blue.
• Level 2 – The “Level 2” LED will be ON when the current commanded state of
the zone is at, or closest to the Level 2 tint level. This LED’s on state is blue.
• Tint – The “tint” LED will be ON when the current commanded state of the zone
full tint. This LED’s on state is blue.
Buttons
• Tint Button – The Tint Button is used to put the windows in the next darker tint
state.
• Clear Button – The Clear Button is used to put the windows in the next lighter tint
state.
SAGEGLASS SWITCH OPERATION
Operating Modes
There are two mode of operation associated with the wall switch: Automatic Mode and
Manual Mode. When the zone associated with the wall switch is in automatic mode, the tint
level of the window(s) is automatically controlled based on the light level read by a daylight
sensor. The Auto LED will be ON, and the target tint level of the window will be shown on
the corresponding LED. The first example to the right shows Auto ON, and a target tint of
Level 1.
During Manual Mode operation, the state of the window(s) remains constant regardless of
the light level. While in Manual Mode, the target tint level of the window will be shown on
the corresponding LEDs. The second example to the right shows Manual Mode ON, and a
target tint of Level 2.
When in automatic mode, any button press will take the system out of automatic mode, and
force the glass to the desired level. The glass will stay at the requested state for a
configurable amount of time. Typically this is set to 120 minutes. Contact SAGE to change
this time. At the end of the configured time period, the glass will revert to automatic mode.
A button press during this time will keep the window(s) at the new desired level for the full
configured time period.
Button Operation
At any time, Auto Mode can be enabled by pressing both the Tint and the Clear Button simultaneously. At any time, Manual Mode can be enabled by
pressing either the Tint Button or the Clear Button. Once in Manual Mode, the Tint Button will cause the target tint level to go to the next darker tint level.
The Clear button will cause the target tint level to go to the next lighter tint level.
LED Operation
A flashing LED indicates the IGUs are transitioning from one tint level to the next. The flashing will slow down as the IGU gets closer to the desired tint
level. A solid LED indicates that the IGU has reached the desired tint level.
Mode: Automatic
Tint Level: Level 1
Mode: Manual
Tint Level: Level 2
