MLS Connect Digital Remote Detectors
for CDW12U5, CDH4U5 & CDH8U5 LCMs

CDW12U5 Programmable Connection Centres and

CDH4U5/CDH8U5 Hard-Wired Intelligent Lighting Control

Modules support a range of dedicated high-performance

presence detectors. Detectors 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.

The range of detectors for remote mounting encompasses

both PIR and Microwave technology:

MLS2001CDR - 360 PIR presence detection

MLS2401CDR - 360 microwave presence detection

MLS2500CDR - directional microwave presence detection

All contain an infrared port that can be used both for local

control from a hand-held device when in service and for

initial commissioning of the CDW12U5/CDH4U5/CDH8U5

Intelligent LCM system.

Detectors connect to the LCM via RJ45 patch leads and all

are SELV devices when properly installed and connected.

Ready-made patch leads are available in lengths of 3m,

5m and 10m.

Commissioning

With the CDW12U5 and CDH4U5/CDH8U5 LCM systems,

all configuration information is held within the Connection

Centre itself, not the individual detectors. Most of the

parameters are set up with the aid of a dedicated

progamme 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.

When setting the actual light levels around which dimming

or switching decisions are made, the system utilises the

same simple and convenient method as used for Ex-Or’s

traditional stand-alone detectors. An infrared programming

tool (HP2000 or HC5) is used to set the controlling or

switching set-point for the photocell. The setting is then

transmitted from the detector to the LCM where it is

uniquely associated with that particular detector. The

setting will be preserved in the event of power failure. All

settings can be re-programmed any number of times.

(See ‘Setting the Regulating Photocell’ and ‘Setting the

Switching Photocell’ sections of installation instructions for

details of setting procedure.)

Positioning Notes

Do not mount within 0.25m of a luminaire.

The MLS2401CDR should not be positioned on a pitch narrower than 5m.

Microwave detectors (MLS2401CDR & MLS2500CDR) are extremely sensitive to movement and
must be installed on a rigid surface that will not itself be subject to movement. Microwaves can
penetrate lightly built partitions, glass etc and thus movement in adjacent spaces can cause
spurious triggering if the orientation and sensitivity settings of the detector are not carefully
managed. They are not recommended for areas where there are large areas of metal such as
metal ceiling panels as unpredictable sensitivity may result.
