ZoneLite control unit
Type T
The new Flex Connectors ZoneLite is an intelligently configurable all in one
lighting control solution for many commercial lighting applications.
Control can vary from ON/OFF/DIM, dependent on occupancy to light level
detection.
The ZoneLite features 4 output channels, 1 maintained emergency feed
output, 4 sensor inputs and 4 switch inputs. The 4 output channels can
independently provide either DSI or DALI dimming protocols. Or the channel
can be set to provide conventional switching.
The ZoneLite is available with 4, 16 & 20 socket outlets. The socket outlets
are grouped into 4 independently controlled channel outputs. Each socket
has a dedicated maintained emergency feed supply.
The ZoneLite provides 12 switch inputs via 4 switch drop leads. Each of the
switch inputs (depending on the configuration) can perform a dedicated
function. These can include switching, dimming or scene selection.
The ZoneLite features 4 independent sensor ports. That can be used to for
the connection of multifunction sensors heads. The sensor head functions
can include; PIR motion detection, daylight sensing and remote handset
infrared operation. 1 master sensor head and up to 4 slave sensor heads can
be connected (configuration program dependent) to any one of the sensor
ports.
Products available:
FZl04T1111 Four socket, four channel control for DSI or DALI digital
dimmable ballasts.
FZL16T4354 Sixteen socket, four channel control for DSI or DALI digital
dimmable ballasts.
FZL20T5465 Twenty socket, four channel control for DSI or DALI digital
dimmable ballasts.

The ZoneLite has some features that can be adjusted to further suite the
application. These features can be adjusted using the ZoneLite setup remote
handset. Details of the parameters that can be adjusted are listed on the
following sections. Please see the individual function sections for more details.

To change a parameter:
Firstly, press the desired function button from the 8 available functions (Dimming
control to config. setting). The corresponding remote handset function LED will
illuminate, to indicate that it is active.
Secondly, press the appropriate desired parameter button (1-8). When the
button is released the green sensor head LED will flash the number of times
according to the button pressed.
Daylight Linking & Daylight Dependency control
Required components for Daylight linking & dependency:

powered by observing the blue LED flashing whenever
occupancy is detected.

Switch feedback/Fault LED
Test Mode (walk test)
The Zonelite can be put into a test mode, to enable a walk test of the lighting installation. This mode will reduce all the
timeout periods within the ZoneLite to 10 seconds.
To put the ZoneLite into test mode:
1. Press & hold the Test Mode button on the remote handset. The LED on the sensor head will rapidly flash.
2. When the LED stops rapidly flashing (usually after 5 seconds), then release the button. The LED will flash twice to
confirm.
To take the ZoneLite out of test mode:
1. Briefly press the test mode button for 1 second. The LED will flash while the button is pressed, and will stop when
the button is released.
Switch feedback (indication)
While in test mode the ZoneLite will indicate the last active switch input received. This will be indicated using the red
LED on the ZoneLite. The red LED will flash according to the sequence listed in the table opposite to identify the last
active switch input.
This is useful for identifying which port an installed switch is connected to when the physical connections can not be
seen.

Manual dimming: The lights can be dimmed using either the appropriate switch drop input (provided your
configuration has this feature) or via the remote control.

Absence (Momentary switch input required)
The light/s will not switch ON, when motion is detected by the connected sensor head. The lights are
initiated ON by the switch.
When motion is no longer detected, the lights will switch OFF after the pre-
selected time-out period.
