Click the WOS Stepdown Schedule button. A pane with three steps will appear. For each step
select a power level and duration. When the WOS is triggered, the light will follow this schedule
for the desired amount of time. Click “Save” to save the Stepdown Schedule.
Click the Daylight Harvesting button. A pane with the DLH parameters will appear. Use the
slider to set the current power level for the lights in the group (OFF to 100%), then use the Mode
dropdown menu to select the multi-sensor operation (Minimum, Average, or Maximum). If only
one DLH sensor is in the group, all 3 modes will act the same. The third field shows the current
DLH reading. This is the light level the DLH event will try to maintain by dimming or brightening
the group. When the schedule enters the DLH event (as seen in the Sensor schedule graph),
the light will react to the ambient light level to maintain a constant light level in the facility.
Click “Save” to save the DLH parameters and set the target light illuminance.
Note: DLH ‘Target’ and ‘Current’ reading scan be verified from the Configure Groups page
NOTE: As recommended in the DLH User Manual, setting up the DLH event is easiest at night.
A pop up will appear indicating that the DLH parameters may change the current target illuminance
(as previously configured). Click “save” again if this change is intended. Once the DLH event is over,
the light will return to its scheduled dim level.
Finally, once satisfied with all prior steps, click “Save” on the bottom of the Configure Group page.
This will return the user to the Manage Groups list.
Note: These group settings can be updated at any time based on user requirements
Creating and Managing Schedules
Note: See User Interface Reference section for screenshots
A schedule is a series of command events that run over time to control the lighting system. These
events are assigned a control operation along with a time to be executed and a collection of these
events creates a full control program for the system.
From the Home page, select System Configuration, then select Schedules
To create a new schedule, click the “Create Schedule” button on the top right. This will show a
pop up screen that allows the user to set up a new schedule.
Here the user can set schedule’s name and description, select operation days, and add event light
levels.
“Days to Affect” field lets the user set up the days of the week the schedule is in effect.
“Events” field lets the user set up various events (Light level, DLH, and WOS) during various
times of the day.
To create a new event, click the “+ Add” button next the “Events” title.
First select the time the event is in effect (hour then minute)
Then select the type of event (Light level, Occupancy or Daylight Harvesting)
Then select the “Value” of the event:
