Determining the Daylight Sensor Mounting Location

Determine the proper location of the Daylight Sensor using the adjacent diagrams.

• The arrow on the daylight sensor points toward the area viewed by the sensor.

• Place the daylight sensor so its viewing area is centered on the nearest window at a distance
from the window of between one to two times the eective window height, H.

• The eective window height, H, starts at the window sill or 3 feet (91 cm) up from the oor,
whichever is higher, and ends at the top of the window.

• Ensure that the view of the daylight sensor is not obstructed.

• Do not position the daylight sensor in the well of a skylight or above indirect lighting xtures.

• For narrow areas where the daylight sensor cannot be placed 1-2 H from windows, place
sensor near window facing into the space.

Lutron Additional Componentry

Please note that the Lutron system can include wall switches and occupancy sensors which may need to be wired into the
EcoSystem® ballast. While these additional ancillary components are not available installed on the xture itself, the in-xture
wiring requirements can typically be accommodated.

Alera Lighting will, therefore, ask for project details to determine if additional wiring is required within the Alera product.

Directional light sensing requires lens be aimed at window(s). (see adjacent page)

Controls Characteristics

• Sensor is equipped with IR receiver

• EcoSystem® Programmer can be used to commission
— See Lutron.com for additional data

Alera Lighting Note To adjust sensor direction, twist sensor as indicated by arrow seen at left.

Testing the Daylight Sensor

• Ensure power to the lighting circuit in ON.

• Ensure the lighting control system is commissioned properly.

WARNING: Electrical shock hazard. Can cause serious injury or death. The lighting
circuit should be energized only when all wiring is complete and all persons are clear of
xtures/devices. Turn power ON only after checking that it is safe to do so.

• Shine a ashlight directly onto the daylight sensor.

• Keep the light ON for at least 30-40 seconds. This should cause the lights connected or
programmed to the sensor to dim. If the lights do not dim, they may already be at a dimmed
level due to daylight. If so, you may test the sensor by covering it for 30-40 seconds. This
should cause the lights to get brighter.
