Software Version 2.14.0

Advanced Configuration SENPIRIB

  1. Click Advanced Configuration in the Configuration section of PROPERTIES.

    The Advanced Configuration SENPIRIB dialogue box appears.
    The below configurations can be performed in the Advanced Configuration  :

Mode

  1. In the Mode section, select the required option from the Mode drop-down list. Refer the below table for option description.

    Presence Detection with Light Level Target

    It sets the sensor for presence detection regardless of light level conditions. When the sensor element detects motion the multi sensor sends a C-Bus ON command to the group and resets the time out period.

    Presence Detection

    When Presence Detection is selected, the sensor triggers on motion. When the sensor detects motion, it sends a C-Bus command on the C-Bus network.

     Sunset Switch

    It turns the lighting type group ON when the measured lux level is low. Low lux levels typically occur during sunset and sunrise. When the lux level falls below the configured threshold setpoint, the function activates.

  2. Refer the below table for configuration in the Light Level Target (Lux) section.

    Target (Fixed Lux)

    You can update the Light Level Target by adjusting either Target (Fixed Lux) or the Light Level Slider.

    • Changing the Light Level Slider updates Target (Fixed Lux), and changing Target (Fixed Lux) updates the slider.

    • You can increase or decrease Target (Fixed Lux) in increments of 1.

    • You can set Target (Fixed Lux) within the range 0 to 2000.

    • Target Range is displayed next to Target (Fixed Lux) based on the selected Margin (Fixed %).

    • You can calculate Target Range using Target (Fixed Lux) and Margin (Fixed %).

    Margin (Fixed %)

    You can update the Light Level Margin by adjusting either Margin (Fixed %) or the Light Level Slider.

    • Changing the Light Level Slider automatically updates Margin (Fixed %), and changing Margin (Fixed %) automatically updates the slider.

    • By default, Margin (Fixed %) is set to 6%, which corresponds to 42 Lux.

    • You can increase or decrease Margin (Fixed %) in increments of 1.

    • You can set Margin (Fixed %) to any value from 1 to 100.

    • The corresponding Lux value is displayed in the format (XX Lux), when you change the Margin (Fixed %).

    Current State

    • Current State indicates the operating state of the sensor—Light, Dark, or In Target Range—based on the current light-level reading relative to the Light Level Target and Light Level Margin.

      • You can set Current State to Dark when the current light level is lower than the lowest value in the Target Range.

      • You can set Current State to In Target Range when the current light level is between the lowest and highest values in the Target Range

      • You can set Current State to Light when the current light level is higher than the highest value in the Target Range

    • The current light level is displayed in Lux when the network is open and the project device is matched to a live network device.

    • Click to update the Current State value.

    • Example : Current State values — Dark (150 Lux) and Light (1000 Lux).

    NOTE: If you update Light Level in the Configuration section of PROPERTIES (or) Mode tab in Advanced Configuration, the set values are reflected and vice versa.

    Configuration in PROPERTIES

    Mode

    1. Click Light Level tab. Refer the below table for field description.

      Field

      Description

      Target

      The Target section contains parameters for setting the light level target and margin value. The target represents the lux level set point and the margin determines the percentage hysteresis. The Detector allows you to choose either a fixed lux set point or a Lighting group.

      Fixed Lux

      There are two values which determine the fixed level at which the Detector responds to a change in ambient lighting levels: the target lux and the margin %. The target value is the lux level set point and the margin % defines a hysteresis around the set point. It is possible to have a fixed lux level and a variable margin by selecting a Lighting group.

      Group Values

      When the Lighting group has been selected, the lux level set point or the % margin are defined as a Lighting group value.

      Margin

      The Margin % slider sets the hysteresis around the target lux level set point. This can be used to prevent the constant switching of relay levels or constant changes of dimmer levels when the ambient light level varies regularly (perhaps due to passing clouds). It means that a Lighting group, for example, can be set to turn on at a level below the target lux level set point, and turn off at a level above the target lux.

      The Margin radio buttons allows you to choose a fixed percentage or a variable percentage based on a Lighting group value. When clicking the Fixed radio button, the percentage slider bar appears. When clicking the Group radio button, the Group drop down list appears.

      Target Range — Displays the target range based on the inbuilt formula.

    2. In Target section:

      • You can adjust the Fixed Lux value using either a slider or a drop-down list, in increments of ten.

        • If you enter a Lux value that is not a multiple of ten, it automatically resets to the nearest multiple of ten.

        • By default, the Fixed (Lux) is set to 700. You can set the Light Level Target from 0 to 2000 Lux.

      • Select the Group radio button:

        • The Application Index is set to Application 1 and is disabled for selection.

    3. In Margin section:

      • By default, the Margin Fixed (%) is set to 6, which is 42 Lux.

      • If you update Light Level Margin on the Configuration section (or) Mode tab, the set values are reflected and vice versa.

      • You can adjust the Fixed Lux value using either a slider or a drop-down list. You can set Light Level Margin from 1 to 100 Lux.

      • Select the Group radio button:

        NOTE: The Margin Fixed (%), and Margin Group radio buttons are enabled only if the Target Fixed (Lux) is selected.
        • The Application Index is set to Application 1 and is disabled for selection.

        • Mouse over on the Application Index, to view the tooltip message.

        • The acceptance criteria from 15 to 40 apply to the Margin Group.

        • To add and edit a group, refer Group.

      Field

      Description

      Light level Maintenance

      The Light Level Maintenance section provides the functionality for continuously controlling the light level of a Lighting Type group so that the measured light level lies within a desired range. The light range is determined by the range established in the Light Level Target section. Light level maintenance will use this range to set the maintenance light level range.

      Active Check box

      The Active check box activates light level maintenance functionality.

      Block

      The Block drop down list sets the selected Lighting Type group which will have light level maintenance assigned to it.

      Group

      The Enable Group drop down list assigns an Lighting Type group which will enable or disable maintenance functionality. Assigning a Lighting Type group to another key will make it possible to enable/disable light maintenance. Requires a pre-defined Lighting Type group, but not one which has been assigned a block function.

      Field

      Description

      Light Level Broadcasting

      This feature keeps other units synchronised with the light level measured by the Occupancy/Light Level Detector, ensuring uniform illumination across large areas. The detector converts the measured light level from the photo-electric cell (PE cell) into a value between the minimum and maximum limits for the selected Lighting Type group (fully off to fully on) and broadcasts this value to the configured group.

      Active Check box

      The Active check box activates light level broadcasting function.

      Block

      The Block drop down list selects the block function where the broadcasting interval will be set. The block function must be assigned a Lighting Type group to which light levels will be broadcast. Block assignment for light level broadcasting has a fixed configuration. The block micro function field Expiry is automatically set to the Start command. The recommended minimum timer interval is ten seconds to minimise C-Bus traffic congestion. Once the Block drop down list has been activated using the Active check box, it is not possible to select a block function associated with a Lighting Type group assigned to one of the following macro functions:

      • Day Move

      • Night Move

      • Sunset

        • Block set for Light Level Maintenance is not listed for selection and vice-versa.

      • Select the desired expiry time. For more information, refer Expiry Time.

    Corridor Linking

    Corridor linking with sensors is an effective solution for office environments. It allows employees to arrive and leave without manually switching multiple lights on or off.

    Example: When employees arrive at the office in the morning, they walk through the corridor and trigger an occupancy sensor, which turns on the corridor lights. As they enter their office, the multi-sensor detects occupancy and switches on the office lights. Once the office lights are on, the corridor linking function keeps the corridor lights on.

    When the last employee leave the building, they turn off the office lights. This action triggers a lighting sequence that keeps the corridor lights on, allowing them to walk safely down the corridor and exit the building. After a configured delay, the corridor lights automatically turn off.

    1. In Corridor Linking section, select the Enable Corridor Linking check box.

      NOTE: Only if you select the Enable Corridor Linking check box, other all drop-down lists will be enabled.
