USER MANUAL

EMDC – ENOCEAN MOTION DETECTOR AND LIGHT LEVEL SENSOR

1 General description

This user manual describes the functionality of the family of ceiling-mounted motion detectors and light level sensors EMDC.

The EMDC product family consists of the following members:

◼ EMDCA using 868.300 MHz radio (main market Europe) ◼ EMDCU using 902.875 MHz radio (main market US / Canada) ◼ EMDCJ using 928.350 MHz radio (main market Japan)

The term “EMDC” is used throughout this user manual to describe all three variants unless otherwise noted.

1.1 Basic functionality

EMDC enables the realization of energy harvesting wireless occupancy and light level sensors for light, building or industrial control systems communicating with the 868.3 MHz (EMDCA),

902.875 MHz (EMDCU) or 928.35 MHz (EMDCJ) versions of the EnOcean radio standard.

EMDC uses a passive infrared (PIR) sensor to detect motion and a dedicated illumination sensor to measure the amount of ambient light.

EMDC reports periodically (approximately every 2 minutes when no motion is detected, approximately every 1 minute when motion is detected) the latest motion detection status (motion detected, or no motion detected). EMDC will report immediately if motion is detected for the first time after a period without detected motion (e.g. when a person is entering a room).

EMDC will use EnOcean Equipment Profiles (EEP) of the EnOcean radio standard for the reporting of the motion detection status. Depending on the selected EEP, EMDC can additionally report the measured ambient light level and the measured temperature status.

EMDC is self-supplied via an integrated solar cell which generates the energy required for its operation. EMDC requires 50 lux illumination for 6 hours per day directly at the solar cell which typically is equivalent 200 lux for 6 hours per day to at room level. EMDC is fully selfpowered (no batteries required) under these lighting conditions.

For cases where sufficient ambient light is not available, EMDC provides the option to mount a CR2032 backup battery.

EMDC supports both standard and high security mode as specified by EnOcean Alliance. In high security mode, radio telegrams transmitted by EMDC are both encrypted and authenticated using AES-128 with a device-unique private key and a sequence counter. This ensures confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of the transmitted telegrams and prevents telegram replay (retransmission of previously transmitted telegrams).

2 Functional description

2.1 EMDC product overview

The energy harvesting ceiling-mounted motion and illumination sensor EMDC from EnOcean provides wireless motion and illumination sensing functionality without batteries. Power is provided by a built-in solar cell harvesting available light from the environment.

EMDC transmits sensor data based on the EnOcean radio standard using EnOcean Equipment Profiles (EEP).

The outer appearance of EMDC is shown in Figure 1 below.

Figure 1 – EMDC external view

USER MANUAL

EMDC – ENOCEAN MOTION DETECTOR AND LIGHT LEVEL SENSOR

2.2 Basic functionality

EMDC devices contain a passive infrared sensor that detects changes in the received infrared radiation which are characteristic for the movement of persons. In addition, EMDC measures the ambient light level via a dedicated sensor and the temperature using its integrated microcontroller.

EMDC integrates a solar cell that generates the required energy for its operation from available ambient light.

The user interface of EMDC consists of one button for simple configuration tasks and one LED to provide user feedback. Configuration of EMDC parameters is possible via an integrated NFC (ISO 14443) interface.

EMDC is designed for ceiling mounting. It can be mounted on most ceilings with suitable screws or mounted on dropped ceilings using wire brackets.

2.3 External product interface

The external product interface consists of the following items:

◼ Infrared lens in conjunction with a passive infrared sensor for motion detection ◼ Ambient light sensor for light measurement ◼ Solar cell can for powering the device in normal lighting conditions ◼ User interface. With one button (LRN) and one LED simple configuration and test ◼ Internal NFC antenna (not visible) providing access to the NFC configuration ◼ Wall mount plate (with opening slot for removal) for product mounting

Figure 2 below shows the location of these items.

Figure 2 – EMDC front and rear view

USER MANUAL

EMDC – ENOCEAN MOTION DETECTOR AND LIGHT LEVEL SENSOR

2.4 Internal product interface

EMDC contains a holder for a CR2032 battery and a PIR sensitivity selection switch as shown in Figure 3 below.

Figure 3 – EMDC internal view

The internal product interface is accessible after removing the wall mount plate.

If EMDC has not yet been mounted onto the ceiling, then the wall mount plate can be removed by inserting a screwdriver (or similar tool) into the opening slot shown in Figure 2 and pushing the wall mount plate outwards.

If the EMDC wall mount plate is already attached to the ceiling, then EMDC can be removed by gently pulling the housing.

A backup battery can be inserted into the backup battery holder and removed by inserting a suitable tool into the battery ejection slot as described in chapter 4.3.

USER MANUAL

EMDC – ENOCEAN MOTION DETECTOR AND LIGHT LEVEL SENSOR

2.5 Functional modes

EMDC supports six types of functional modes:

◼ Standard operation mode

◼ Standby (sleep) mode

◼ Learn mode

◼ Walk test mode

◼ Ambient light test mode

◼ Factory reset mode

These modes are described below.

2.5.1 Standard operation mode

During standard operation, EMDC wakes up periodically and reports the motion detection status and – depending on the selected EEP also the current light level and the temperature status - using data telegrams.

The motion detection functionality is described in chapter 3.1 and the light level sensing functionality in chapter 3.2 and chapter 3.3 respectively.

The EMDC wake-up timer is configured to wake-up EMDC approximately every 2 minutes during periods without detected motion and approximately every 1 minute during periods with detected motion. If motion is detected for the first time after a period without motion, then EMDC wakes up immediately.

Both the occupied and the unoccupied wake-up intervals are affected at random in order to increase the robustness of the radio transmission and to comply with regulatory requirements.

It is possible to change the wake-up intervals using the NFC interface. In case of reducing the reporting interval, the resulting increase in required energy (provided by the available light or a backup battery) has to be considered.

2.5.2 Standby (Sleep) mode

Standby (Sleep) mode is used to conserve as much energy as possible during periods of storage or transport. All functionality – except those needed to return to standard operation mode – is disabled in this mode.

Standby mode can be selected using the LRN button as described in chapter 4.1 or using the NFC interface as described in chapter 9.5.11.

USER MANUAL

EMDC – ENOCEAN MOTION DETECTOR AND LIGHT LEVEL SENSOR

2.5.3 Walk test mode

Walk test mode is used to verify the motion detection coverage of the device via visual feedback from the LED which will blink whenever motion is detected.

Walk test mode can be selected using the LRN button as described in chapter 4.1 or using the MODE field of the FUNCTIONAL_MODE NFC register as described in chapter 9.5.11.

Walk test mode will be active for a period of 120 seconds; it will end immediately if the LRN button is pressed while walk test mode is active.

2.5.4 Learn mode

In learn mode, EMDC will transmit a Teach-in telegram to communicate the device source address, the security key and the EnOcean Equipment Profile (EEP) used by EMDC to a receiver. After that transmission, EMDC will return back to standard operation mode.

Learn mode can be selected using the LRN button as described in chapter 4.1 or using the MODE field of the FUNCTIONAL_MODE NFC register as described in chapter 9.5.11.

2.5.5 Ambient light test mode

During installation, EMDC can measure and report the amount of ambient light available at its solar cell in order to determine a suitable installation location as discussed in chapter 10.4.

Upon activation of ambient light test mode, EMDC will first wait for 15 seconds so that the installer can leave the area to ensure a relevant measurement result.

After that, EMDC will take measurements of the ambient light level using its solar cell every 5 seconds for a period of one minute and compute the average illumination based on those measurements. The computed average illumination is then available in the NFC register ILLUMINATION_TEST_RESULT as described in chapter 9.5.21.

Illumination test mode can be selected using the MODE field of the FUNCTIONAL_MODE NFC register as described in chapter 9.5.11.

2.5.6 Factory reset mode

EMDC can be reset to its standard settings using factory reset mode. Upon entering this mode, EMDC will reset all configuration registers to their default settings and then restart operation in standard operation mode.

Factory reset mode can be selected using the LRN button as described in chapter 4.1 or using the MODE field of the FUNCTIONAL_MODE NFC register as described in chapter 9.5.11.

USER MANUAL

EMDC – ENOCEAN MOTION DETECTOR AND LIGHT LEVEL SENSOR

2.6 Reporting interval

EMDC will always report the initial motion detection after a period without detected motion immediately. The rate of subsequent updates (reporting interval = time between two data telegrams) can be configured by the user based on different conditions.

The minimum configurable reporting interval is 3 seconds and the maximum possible transmission interval is 65535 seconds.

2.6.1 Energy considerations

The default reporting interval of 120 seconds (one update every two minutes) when unoccupied (no motion detected) and 60 seconds (one update every minute) when occupied (motion detected) is adjustable using the NFC interface as discussed in the subsequent chapters.

Lowering the reporting interval will increase its power consumption since EMDC will measure and transmit more often. Likewise, increasing the reporting interval will reduce power consumption since it will measure and transmit less often.

To select the right reporting interval, it is essential to determine the amount of harvestable energy. EMDC harvests energy from the available ambient light; therefore, the amount of available energy is determined mainly by the intensity of the available light and the amount of time during which the light is available.

The amount of available ambient light can be determined by executing an ambient light test as described in chapter 2.5.5. The light availability period (the time during which the ambient light is available) has to be determined based on the lighting scheme used for the environment where EMDC is installed.

EMDC is designed to provide one update per minute while a room is occupied based on 200 lux of ambient light available for 6 hours per day.

The minimum supported update interval (for the case of a room being occupied) for selfsupplied operation based on other conditions is summarized in Table 1 below. This table assumes that the update interval for the case of an unoccupied room will be double this value.

USER MANUAL

EMDC – ENOCEAN MOTION DETECTOR AND LIGHT LEVEL SENSOR

2.6.2 Standard reporting interval

The standard reporting interval determines the longest interval between two status updates of EMDC, i.e. the minimum update rate.

EMDC can be configured to use a lower reporting interval, i.e. a higher update rate, based on occupancy and available light as described below. But under no circumstances will EMDC report with a longer reporting interval, i.e. a lower update rate, than the standard reporting interval.

The default setting for the standard reporting interval is one status update once every 120 seconds (2 minutes). This means that under all conditions, EMDC will at least report its status once every 120 seconds.

The standard reporting interval can be adjusted using the STANDARD_TX_INTERVAL NFC register as described in chapter 9.5.12.

Figure 4 below illustrates the use of the standard reporting interval.

STANDARD_TX_INTERVAL STANDARD_TX_INTERVAL

Figure 4 – Standard reporting interval

USER MANUAL

EMDC – ENOCEAN MOTION DETECTOR AND LIGHT LEVEL SENSOR

2.6.3 Occupancy-controlled reporting interval

If a room is occupied, then it might be desirable to receive status updates more often to determine the current light level. EMDC can therefore be configured to use a lower reporting interval, i.e. a higher update rate, while motion is detected.

The default setting of the occupied reporting interval is 60 seconds. This setting can be changed using the OCCUPIED_TX_INTERVAL NFC register as described in chapter 9.5.13.

Figure 5 below illustrates the use of the occupancy-controlled reporting interval.

Figure 5 – Occupancy-controlled reporting interval

USER MANUAL

EMDC – ENOCEAN MOTION DETECTOR AND LIGHT LEVEL SENSOR

2.6.4 Illumination-controlled reporting interval

If sufficient ambient light is available, then it might be desirable to receive status updates more often. For this, there are typically two main use cases:

◼ Adjust the update rate based on the ambient light available for harvesting

◼ Report more often during daytime (or when an office is lit) and less often during

night-time (or when an office is dark) to adapt the reporting to the usage pattern

In both cases, the lower update rate (defined by the standard reporting interval) would be used whenever the ambient light level is below a certain threshold. The higher update rate (defined by the light level-controlled reporting interval) would be used whenever the ambient light level is above a certain threshold.

In EMDC, the light threshold and the reporting interval rate to be used when the measured light level is above the threshold can be configured using the NFC interface as defined in chapter 9.5.

It is possible to define different thresholds and reporting intervals for the solar cell (harvested energy) and the light level sensor (measured light level).

Figure 6 below illustrated the use of the illumination-controlled reporting interval.

Figure 6 – Illumination-controlled reporting interval

2.6.5 Arbitration between reporting intervals

If more than one condition for a lower reporting interval applies – e.g. if a room is both occupied and brightly lit – then the lowest of the corresponding reporting intervals will be selected.

USER MANUAL

EMDC – ENOCEAN MOTION DETECTOR AND LIGHT LEVEL SENSOR

3 Sensor functionality

EMDC implements the following sensor functions:

◼ Motion detection using the passive infrared sensor (PIR)

◼ Illumination measurement using the light level sensor

◼ Illumination measurement using the solar cell

◼ Energy level of the energy store

◼ Supply voltage of the backup battery (if present)

These functions are described in detail in the subsequent chapters.

3.1 Motion detection

EMDC contains an integrated passive infrared (PIR) sensor that can detect moving objects based on the temperature difference between the moving object and its environment.

3.1.1 PIR detection characteristics

EMDC is designed to detect movement within a radius of up to 5 m (16 ft.) when mounted at a ceiling of 3 m (10 ft.) height. The recommended coverage area for best detection performance is within a radius of 3 m (10 ft).

Figure 7 shows the PIR detection pattern.

Figure 7 – EMDC PIR detection pattern

USER MANUAL

EMDC – ENOCEAN MOTION DETECTOR AND LIGHT LEVEL SENSOR

3.2 Illumination measurement (light level sensor)

EMDC integrates a dedicated illumination sensor used to accurately measure and report the light level directly underneath (e.g. on the desk surface).

This sensor has a narrow aperture and a spectral response optimized to mimic the human eye’s perception of ambient light. It reports the light level directly underneath the sensor (spot measurement).

Figure 8 shows the spectrum response of the EMDC illumination sensor compared to that of the human eye.

Figure 8 – Spectrum response of the illumination sensor

3.3 Illumination measurement (solar cell)

EMDC can use SIGNAL telegrams - as described in chapter 5.2 - to report the light level by measuring the energy generated by the solar cell. This functionality can be used both to ensure that sufficient ambient light is available to power the device and to measure incoming light if the solar cell is oriented towards the window.

Reporting of the solar cell light level can be enabled and disabled via SIGNAL register of the NFC interface as described in chapter 9.5.9. By default, the reporting is disabled.

In addition, the light level of the solar cell can be reported instead of the light level of the ambient light level sensor. The selection is done using the LIGHT_SENSOR_CFG register of the NFC interface as described in chapter 9.5.15.

3.4 Temperature

EMDC uses the temperature monitor within the microcontroller to detect abnormal temperature conditions (very hot, very cold, quick change of temperature). This temperature monitor provides a resolution of 1°C, i.e. it reports only integer values. EMDC provide the option for offset calibration of the temperature monitor as described in chapter 9.5.16.

Due to the limited accuracy of the temperature monitor, the temperature reporting of EMDC is not suitable for high accuracy HVAC control.

3.5 Energy level

EMDC can measure the voltage of the internal energy store which stores the harvested energy to supply the device when the ambient light is insufficient to power the device.

Based on the measured voltage, EMDC will estimate the energy level (amount of remaining energy) and report this as a percentage between 0% (empty) and 100% (fully charged).

The calculated energy level can be reported using SIGNAL telegrams as described in chapter

5.2. The measurement and reporting can be enabled and disabled via the SIGNAL register of the NFC interface as described in chapter 9.5.9. By default, the reporting of the remaining energy is enabled and will be executed once for every 32 data telegrams.

Note that the reported energy level can only provide rough guidance as the actual energy level depends on several factors (most notably the ambient temperature).

3.6 Backup battery voltage

EMDC can measure the supply voltage level of external backup battery used to supply the device when the available ambient light is insufficient for energy harvesting operation.

The measured backup battery voltage can be reported using SIGNAL telegrams as described in chapter 5.2. The measurement and reporting can enabled and disabled via the SIGNAL register of the NFC interface as described in chapter 9.5.9. By default, the reporting is disabled.

4.2 Factory Reset

The EMDC configuration can be reset to the factory default values by means of a factory reset. Factory reset is triggered by pressing and holding the LRN button for more than 8 seconds as described above.

4.3 Backup battery interface

The backup batter interface allows supplying EMDC with a CR2032 battery in case the available ambient light is insufficient for energy harvesting operation. EnOcean recommends using Renata batteries due to their low self-discharge characteristics.

The CR2032 backup battery can be inserted by gently pushing it into the backup battery slot. Note that the positive terminal (+) must face upwards (away from the PCB).

The backup battery can be removed (ejected) by using a small, non-conductive item (e.g. wooden toothpick) to push the battery out via the battery ejection slot shown in Figure 2.

4.3.1 Safety remarks

Please familiarize yourself with the following safety remarks before using a backup battery:

Do not insert any tools into the battery slot or the battery ejection slot. Doing so could create a short circuit or damage the PCB resulting in permanent damage.

CAUTION: Risk of damage or explosion if a battery of incorrect type is used.

This product can contain a coin/button cell battery. If the coin/button cell battery is swallowed, it can cause severe internal burns in just 2 hours and can lead to death.

Keep new and used batteries away from children.

4.4 Sensitivity selection switch

The sensitivity selection switch allows reducing the detection range from its default radius of up to 5 m to a reduced radius of up to 3 m.

Note that the exact detection radius depends on a number of factors including the mounting height and the ambient temperature.

4.5 Device label

Each EDMCx device contains a product label identifying the product revision, the manufacturing date, the frequency and the device radio address. Figure 9 below shows the EMDC device label for the case of EMDCA (868.3 MHz).
