Introduction

The MLS3000CDR & MLS3003CDR offer high performance presence detection and contain a
photocell to monitor total light levels, allowing the light output of dimmable luminaires to be
adjusted to suit the natural light level available. An integrated infrared port can be used both for
local control from a hand-held device, when in service, and for initial CDW12U5/CDH4U5/
CDH8U5 Lighting Control Module (LCM) system commissioning. When properly installed and
connected the MLS3000CDR & MLS3003CDR are SELV devices.

Connecting

The MLS3000CDR & MLS3003CDR connect to the LCM via an eight core, RJ45 plug terminated,
patch lead see fig1. All such patch leads must be segregated from mains wiring to preserve
the detectors SELV status that is provided by the LCM design.

Ready-made patch leads in lengths of 3m, 5m and 10m are available from Ex-Or. (See overleaf for
Part Numbers.)

Where it is a requirement that the patch leads are protected by conduit it may prove more
convenient to run the cables unterminated and attach the RJ45 connectors afterwards. In this
case the cable used should be 4-twisted pair, 24awg multistranded, unscreened data cable to
Category 5E standard (e.g. Belden Datatwist 350). No strain-relief hoods should be fitted to the
insulation displacement RJ45 connectors, due to the limited space available above the emplaced
detector. Note that the maximum allowable cable length between the MLS3000CDR &

MLS3003CDR and the LCM is 100m.

The wiring scheme used should follow either the T-568A or the T-568B Ethernet standards, and
must give "1-1", "straight-through" connectivity between the two RJ45 connectors for all eight
cores. Note that this detector is not an Ethernet device and cannot be used with network

Hubs and Switches.

Plug the RJ45 connector at the detector station into the modular socket labelled "To CD Box" on
the top of the detector module and offer the detector to the backbox.

Commissioning

In the CDW12U5 and CDH4U5/CDH8U5 systems, all configuration information is held within the Lighting Control
Modules themselves, not in individual detectors. Most of the configuration items are set up with the aid of a dedicated
programme running on a portable PC which communicates with the LCM either by an infrared link via one of the attached
detectors, or by a specialised serial link into the LCM itself. However, when setting the actual light levels around which
dimming or switching decisions are to be made, the system allows the commissioning engineer the same convenience as
if he were dealing with traditional stand-alone detectors. An infrared programming tool, QuickSet Pro or HC5A is used to
set the controlling or switching setpoint for the photocell. In all cases the setting is then transmitted from the detector to the
LCM, where it is uniquely associated with the detector number being dealt with and will be preserved in the event of power
failure. All settings can be re-programmed any number of times.

Setting the Regulating Photocell

Using the QuickSet Pro Programmer, enter the Utilities menu and select ‘LightSpot/MLS/LCM’ then ‘Set Light Level’. Use
the ‘up’ and ‘down’ buttons to manually adjust the light output from the luminaire(s) and when at the required level press
and hold ‘OK’ to store. The luminaire(s) will blink to acknowledge a successful store operation.

Due to the fact that the photocell is on the ceiling looking down, it is not possible for measurements made with a lux meter
on the working plane to remain constant when daylight illuminates the ceiling and the working plane to a differing extent.
Therefore, products of this type should be regarded as capable of maintaining an APPROXIMATE light level only.

Setting the Switching Photocell

Now the desired switching light level must be arrived at either by waiting for an appropriate time of day or by a combination
of manually switching off lights and perhaps masking windows. Using the QuickSet Pro Programmer, enter the Utilities
menu and select ‘LightSpot/MLS/LCM’ then 'IR Remote'. Scroll down to 'Scene 1' and press and hold the 'OK' button to
store. The luminaire(s) will blink to acknowledge a successful store operation

Testing

Detectors can be put into a temporary 10 second Off-delay mode to speed the process of checking their sensitivity and
range settings using the QuickSet Pro Utilities menu Walk Test option - select ‘LightSpot/MLS/LCM’ then ‘User Test’ and
‘Walk Test’. This mode expires automatically after a few minutes.

Mounting (optional)

Product variants with “SM” suffix
on the part number are supplied
with the surface fitting kit as
standard. The surface mount kit is
available as a separate part,
please order SURFMT.

The sensor may be mounted to
any suitable surface, but is most
commonly fixed to a conduit stop­end (fig 2 set) (BESA) box or
bushed to trunking.

See fig 1 for
connections

Uninstalling and Repositioning

Insert a flat headed screwdriver into the
slot as shown and twist the collar anti­clockwise to release, (fig 3).

To separate the sensor from the surface
mount casing, push a flat headed
screwdriver onto the tab via the inside
void of the casing and pull the sensor

upwards, (fig 4).

Drill point for optional
secure locking with
a 3mm tamperproof
screw (not supplied).

Tilt and Lock the Sensor

Some products feature the ability to tilt the sensor
(before fitting) by up to 10° in 2° increments, in
order to extend the range in one direction.
This may be useful in cases where the ideal
mounting location is not available. The increased
range is indicated in fig 5.

access is limited

The sensor should be positioned on the ceiling in the centre of the occupied space.
This product is available in three different mounting height variants; see fig.1 and
the table below. Ensure that the maximum recommended mounting height is not
