1. Operation

1.1. General

The PD4-M-HCL is a highly sensitive ceiling-mounted occupancy
detector based on passive infrared motion detection, with
integrated DALI controller, DALI power supply and push button
control.
If people, animals or other heat sources move within the
detection area, the detector can dim and switch any DALI­controlled electronic ballast-driven lights, taking account of
ambient light levels, such that a predefined room lighting level is
constantly maintained. Slave devices, type PD4-S-DAA4G, can be
installed to expand the detection area.

1.2. Human Centric Lighting

Human Centric Lighting (HCL) automatically changes the colour
temperature and brightness of compatible DALI luminaires (DALI
Device Type 8) during the day. This change takes place slowly and
imperceptibly in small steps. The lighting is based on natural
daylight, which has a positive effect on well-being, performance
and the natural sleep rhythm.

1.2.1. HCL Mode

Three modes can be selected under "HCL Mode":

• In "Application Profiles" mode, brightness and light

temperature are automatically changed during the day
based on a defined curve. The selection of the profile
suitable for the application is made in the next point.

• In "outdoor light sensor" mode, the light temperature of the

luminaires follows the light temperature outdoors. For this
purpose an external light sensor from B.E.G. - which is to be
ordered separately - is required. The brightness can be freely
selected.

• In "Demonstration Mode", the light temperature changes

step by step from warm to cold white. This function is used
for test or presentation purposes.

1.2.2. Application profiles

All profiles are designed to activate from morning to afternoon
with increasing brightness and colour temperature. During
lunchtime and from late afternoon, the activating effect is
reduced. The lighting goes into the warm white area and to the
lower light level. Overnight, the lighting remains at this setting.
The "Application profiles" are optimised for special use. Under
"Application profiles" you can choose between three profiles:

• In the "Office" profile, the brightness during the day is

controlled from approx. 500 to 650 lux and the colour
temperature from approx. 3500 to 5500 Kelvin.

• In the "Industry" profile, the brightness during the day is

controlled from approx. 500 to 750 lux and the colour
temperature from approx. 3500 to 5500 Kelvin.

• In the "School" profile, the daytime brightness is controlled

from approx. 350 to 500 lux and the colour temperature
from approx. 3500 to 5500 Kelvin.

1.2.3. Date

The current date must be transferred from the smartphone to
the detector via the app. The integrated real-time clock can then
control the application profiles. In the event of a power failure,
the real-time clock is powered by an internal battery for at least
48 hours.

1.2.4. Time

The current time must be transferred from the smartphone to
the detector via the app. The integrated real-time clock can then
control the application profiles. In the event of a power failure,
the real-time clock is powered by an internal battery for at least
48 hours.

1.3. Groups and lighting zones

There are three lighting zones (areas for a lighting purpose)
available which can be parameterised by means of a predefined
grouping principle of the integrated DALI control unit and an
operating mode of the integrated relay.

PD4-M-HCL 93006/93007

50570_V1_Operation_Manual_PD4-M­HCL_93006_93007_EN_080818 Page 3 / 10

1.3.1. Lightning zone A (main lightning)

The PD4-M-HCL allows you to compensate for differences in
brightness due to daylight coming from one side of a room fully
automatically, using segmented constant light regulation in
lighting zone A across 3 groups. Fittings with DALI electronic
ballasts are thus grouped as follows:

• Group 1: for areas with little daylight

areas away from the windows

• Group 2: for neutral areas

for example the central lighting run

• Group 3: for areas which may have strong daylight

areas near the windows

Groups 2 and 3 can be set up with a negative offset between 0%
and 25%, and will then scale back their lighting output in relation
to Group 1. In extreme lighting situations (very bright daylight or
no daylight), both offset settings will be automatically reduced to
0%.

1.3.2. Lightning zone B and C (lectern or blackboard lightning)

For teacher or blackboard lighting, lighting zone B (via DALI group

4) and/or lighting zone C (via integrated relay) are available.
In lighting zones B and C, automatic constant light regulation is
disregarded.

1.4. Integrated relay with operating modes

There are 7 different operating modes available on the
integrated bistable relay (potential-free, NO). These cannot be
combined:

• “Cut-off” – standby current consumption of connected DALI

electronic ballasts is automatically minimised

• “HVAC” – heating, ventilation and air-conditioning units are

automatically controlled for energy efficiency, depending on
motion detection in the room, using a separately-set follow­up time

• “Zone C” – activates lighting zone C with push button input

C, for example to provide teacher or blackboard illumination
without a DALI electronic ballast. The automatic mode
depends on the settings for lighting zone B (Group 4)

• “CdS” – “cadmium sulfide” – relay works as photo electric

switch

• “None” for “no function” – relay is not actuated

• “Alarm impulse” (via operating mode HVAC) – The relay only

closes for 2.5 seconds if at least 3 movements have been
detected during a time period of 9 seconds. This function can
be used to display a presence in the room on external
visualisations. (Warning: The device does not fulfil the
requirements of DIN EN50131-2-2 and therefore cannot be
used in professional intrusion detection systems.

• “Impulse function” (via operating mode HVAC) – The

impulse function can be used to control external HVAC
systems. All 9 s will be set an impulse lasting 2.5 s

1.5. Full automatic / semi-automatic mode

Lighting zones A and B can be set individually to full automatic or
semi-automatic mode. Lighting zone C always works with the
settings from lighting zone B. In full automatic mode, the light is
turned on automatically when motion is detected and ambient
light is low enough, and turned off after an adjustable follow-up
time and/or when ambient light is bright enough. Semi­automatic mode works in a similar fashion, except that switching
on the lights must take place via a push button (manual ON/ auto
OFF).

1.6. Push button functions

Conventional NO push buttons can be used.
A short press on all three push buttons, A, B and C, turns the light
in each lighting zone on or off. A long press (> 2 seconds) on push
buttons A and B leads to manual dimming (brightness up or down
– another long press reverses the dimming direction).
Special feature in full automatic mode: if you want to use a short
press to deliberately switch off the light in the room, for example
to show a film or set up a projector, the light remains off until the
follow-up time has expired.

50570_V1_Operation_Manual_PD4-M­HCL_93006_93007_EN_080818 Page 4 / 10

1.7. IR-Adapter

Lighting zones can only be parameterised sending infrared
signals via Smartphone app. Factory setting of the detector is
broadcast mode (white LED shines permanently). So it is possible
to check all DALI bus connections and pushbutton connections
without parameterising. To send infrared signals via the
Smartphone or a tablet, an IR-Adapter (part no. 92726) is
required, which must be charged periodically, and has to be
plugged in to the audio socket of the Smartphone or tablet.

2. Commissioning without IR-Adapter

2.1. Self-test cycle

In the first 60 seconds from when the mains voltage is turned on,
the detector runs through a self-test cycle. During this period, the
device does not react to movement.

2.2. Factory settings

The PD4-M-HCL can also be put into service with basic
functionality without changing any settings. Out of the box, the
detector works in Broadcast mode (white LED shines
permanently), which can only be changed over to Group mode
with the remote control (smartphone or tablet + IR-Adapter +

app) and the command “UNLOCK”. All push buttons are activated

in Broadcast mode (switching and dimming).

2.3. Potentiometer and DIP switches

The following settings can be made via potentiometer and DIP
switches:

Cut-off (CO): Standby consumption of
connected DALI electronic ballasts is
automatically minimised / HVAC
(5,10,15): light-independent HVAC
occupancy control / HVAC (30,40,50,
60,120): light-independent HVAC
occupancy control with 5 min. switch­on delay / OFF: No relay control

Moon:
Night mode (< 10 lux) / Set value in
lux: 100,150,200,300,400,500,700,
900 /
Sun:
Day mode (no constant light

regulation, “too dark” detection

always active)

Test: Each movement, regardless of
ambient light levels, switches the light
on for 1 second, then off for 2 seconds
(PLEASE NOTE: Test mode is only
possible if potentiometer B is not in
the “Sun” position) / Follow-up time
for lighting zones in minutes:
1,5,10,15,20,25,30,60

2.4. Factory Reset

Factory settings inclusive Broadcast-modes can be restored at
any time in the following manner (warning - all previous settings
will be lost):

• Turn on mains supply if not already on

• Turn “TIME” potentiometer to “Test” (if the potentiometer

is already in the “Test” position, it must first be turned to

another position)

• Turn “LUX” potentiometer to “Sun” (if the potentiometer is

already in the “Sun” position, it must first be turned to

another position)

When all LEDs blink for approx. 3 seconds, activation of factory
settings inclusive Broadcast-Modus has been successfully
completed.

During this time, the detector only switches
the light ON or OFF. A dimming to the set
value does not take place.

5.3. Human Centric Lighting

HCL Mode

Human Centric Lighting (HCL) can
synchronise the internal clock in rooms with
low daylight supply and sustainably
strengthen the well-being. By changing the
brightness and the light temperature during
the day, the dynamics of daylight are
brought into the building. This is done by
application profiles or via an external light
sensor. A demonstration mode is available
for testing purposes.

Application profiles

• The "office" profile provides motivating

light. During the day, the brightness
ranges between approx. 500 and 650 lux
and the colour temperature between
approx. 3500 and 5500 Kelvin.

• The "Industry" profile provides

concentration-increasing light. During
the day, the brightness ranges between
approx. 500 and 750 lux and the colour
temperature between approx. 3500 and
5500 Kelvin.

• The "School" profile offers motivating

light that supports learning. During the
day, the brightness ranges between
approx. 350 and 500 lux and the colour
temperature between approx. 3500 and
5500 Kelvin.

7. Addressing and formation of groups

Before groups are formed, it is recommended that you draw up
a plan showing the grouping of all DALI electronic ballasts in the
room.

7.1. Step 1: Broadcast Reset

To ensure that all connected DALI electronic ballasts with
identical basic settings are used, we recommend that you first
perform a broadcast reset.

PD4-M-HCL 93006/93007

50570_V1_Operation_Manual_PD4-M­HCL_93006_93007_EN_080818 Page 9 / 10

7.2. Step 2: New addressing process

Important note for slave operation: connect slave devices only
after setting up addressing, or else ensure that, while auto­addressing takes place (all LEDs blinking quickly), no-one remains

in any slave device’s detection area, so that no motion detection

events are sent to the master.

7.3. Step 3: Check grouping and change if necessary

PD4-M-HCL 93006/93007

50570_V1_Operation_Manual_PD4-M­HCL_93006_93007_EN_080818 Page 10 / 10

8. Adding or replacing electronic ballasts

For cases where individual DALI electronic ballasts are to be
replaced, or others added, there is a DALI maintenance mode. In
DALI maintenance mode, only DALI electronic ballasts with a

short address of “FF” have their addresses reset and released for

grouping. This short address is saved as a factory setting on all
new DALI electronic ballasts.

9. Set Lux setpoint

9.1. Alignment

Always align the light sensor towards a lighting area belonging to
Group 1. For this, the sensor can be angled vertically at 30° from
the floor towards the wall.

9.2. Default settings

To adjust a desired target value more easily, it is recommended
to pre-set a value using the app and the parameter LUX or via
potentiometer which serves as basis for adjusting the desired
target value.

9.3. Process description

• Step 1: Darken the room. There should be only light

available, which can be implemented via the device
connected to the detector lighting system.

• Step 2: Place a calibrated light meter in the field of

group 1

• Step 3: Use the manual dimming and eyes button in

the smartphone app in the tab „command“, to store

the desired setpoint LUX. It may take up to 2 minutes,
until the new adjustment shows effect.

• Step 4: Use the + / - buttons in the smartphone app

for minimal corrections
