1.0 INTRODUCTION TO AUDACY® WIRELESS CONTROLS

The Audacy Wireless Controls system from IDEAL can bring advanced solutions to any commercial lighting application. Its simple installation, conguration, and operation allows any user to achieve signicant energy savings without the usual complications.

The Audacy Wireless Controls system brings you tried-and-true lighting control strategies, including:

• Occupancy

• Vacancy

• Daylight Harvesting

• Scheduling

• Scene Control

• Remote System Control

• Automatic Demand Response (ADR)

The system revolves around wireless Luminaire Controllers, wireless sensors and switches, and wireless Gateways that can interface with Building Automation Systems using industry-standard protocols such as BACnet, Lonworks, and Modbus.

AUDACY SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

The sensors and switches are completely wireless devices and have a 25-year battery life. Sleek and stylish, they can be placed anywhere you need coverage and are easily added, congured, or modied.

Audacy Luminaire Controllers are capable of controlling 0-10V dimming LED drivers and uorescent ballasts, ELV or MLV/line dimming luminaires.

Tying everything together is AudacyControls.com. Accessed through a web browser or mobile device, you can control your lighting network from anywhere with an Internet connection. Controlling lights, making conguration changes, or providing energy consumption reports are all part of AudacyControls.com. Just like the rest of the system, AudacyControls.com is designed to be simple, intuitive, and user-friendly, while providing the maximum amount of exibility and control.

1.0 INTRODUCTION TO AUDACY® WIRELESS CONTROLS

2.0 GATEWAY - PROXY - AUDACY® SERVER COMMUNICATIONS OVERVIEW

To enable the Audacy Wireless Controls system for website control and conguration or an iOS app, a proxy is required to provide a secure connection to the Audacy Server. The proxy is a reverse type of server and runs behind the user’s rewall. The proxy will manage requests from the Internet toward the Gateways located on the user’s internal network. It secures, routes and manages the trafc from the Internet to the user’s internal network where the Audacy Gateways reside. It protects the internal network from externally perpetrated attacks. The proxy will only allow the Audacy Server to access and manage the Audacy Gateways located on the internal network.

The proxy will require the user’s rewall to allow outgoing messages on port 993 from the proxy machine’s IP address. The connection between the proxy and the Audacy server is 2048-bit SSL encrypted. The proxy can be installed on Windows, Linux or Mac devices.

Hardware and software requirements:

• ALWAYS ON PC or virtual machine to install proxy SW

• Windows 7 or better (2008+)

• 2 Ghz CPU

• 2 GB RAM

• 10Mbps network Interface

• Login information for proxy installation

• Extracted le from proxy download

• Gateway Installation information:

1. IP address (static or DHCP)

2. Netmask

3. IP Gateway

4. DNS addresses

Above PC must be on same network as Audacy Gateways so the proxy is able to connect to Gateways over network. Gateways and proxy server machine must be behind the customer rewall to provide for adequate security (recommendation: an isolated VLAN should be set up for Audacy equipment).

Open Port 993 to IP address 54.172.131.103 for outgoing connections from the IP address of the PC or virtual machine on which the proxy is running.

2.0 GATEWAY – PROXY - AU DACY® SERVER COMMUNICATIONS OVERVIEW

INSTALL

3.0 SYSTEM SETUP

3.1 MUST READ: SYSTEM INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

There are a number of ways to install an Audacy® Wireless Controls system, and covered in this User Manual is the *RECOMMENDED* approach. The following points are important to remember during the installation process:

1. All Audacy devices have an associated barcode. These barcodes are located on the back of all devices, and are used to recognize a device on AudacyControls.com. It is important to keep track of where these devices are installed so that AudacyControls.com is an accurate reection of the actual installation of the system.

2. Before electronically tracking devices, YOU MUST INSTALL THE PROXY (FOR THE GATEWAY), SETUP THE GATEWAY AND CREATE ROOMS (sections 3.3,

3.4 and 5.0 of this manual). The scanning feature on the Audacy iOS app automatically adds devices into rooms that exist. Devices cannot be added prior to room creation.

3. The bar codes can also be entered into the system via the scanning feature on the Audacy iOS app.

3.1.1 SERIAL NUMBER DEVICE TRACKING REQUIREMENT

It is highly recommended to keep close track of all device barcodes. Instructions for ways to track are list here:

- Remove the 2 tear-away stickers that contain the serial number (see image below).

- Apply these to a drawing of the space containing the xture or a tracking sheet to identify the serial number and its location in the room (tracking sheet available in Appendix, p. 47).

- If these tear away labels are missing, please write down the serial number of the Luminaire Controller in a safe place.

- These serial numbers are required in order to have a fully functioning Audacy Wireless Controls system.

3.2 PHYSICAL INSTALLATION

3.2.1 GATEWAY INSTALLATION

1. The Audacy Gateway has two mounting anges that can be used to mount it to a wall or other surface using screws. (Before installation, note and record the Mac Address and Serial Number on the underside of the gateway for future reference).

2. For optimal performance, the antennas should be placed in a vertical orientation.

INS TALL 3.0 SYSTEM SETUP

3.2.2 LUMINAIRE CONTROLLER INSTALLATION

Luminaire Controllers are easily installed modules that can turn on/off and dim xtures and are available as internal or external mount to allow for junction box or xture installation. For maximum exibility each xture can be controlled by a single Luminaire Controller or a Luminaire Controller can control multiple xtures as a zone (see Appendix p. 33 for maximum xtures per Luminaire Controller).

3.2.3 PLUG LOAD CONTROLLER INSTALLATION

The Plug Load Controller is a 20-Amp rated wireless switch to control power to a typical outlet. This product requires wiring to be performed per the NEC and local codes dictated by the AHJ.

Retro-ﬁt Installation (for single outlet in box)

1. Remove the old device and disconnect the Line and Neutral wires from device. Keep the ground wire attached.

2. Disconnect the Line and Neutral wires that were coming to the device from their pigtail connections.

3. Connect the Plug Load Controller LINE (black) and NEUTRAL (white) wires to the pigtails that were connected to the device that was just removed. These wires are on the side of the device which will face the box.

4. Re-connect the device to the SWITCHED HOT (red) and NEUTRAL (white) coming out of the Plug Load Controller. This side is facing out towards the device.

5. Terminate the wires to the device as required per the device installation instructions.

6. IMPORTAN T: Position the Plug Load Controller into the junction box so the serial number label is facing toward the outlet.

7. Place “Controlled outlet” sticker on the face of the outlet.

8. Or use a “Controlled Device” outlet that is properly marked for this application.

As a reminder, keep track of serial numbers as described in Se c t i on 3.1.1.

Refer to Appendix p. 34 for Luminaire Controller one line drawings and p. 31 for device information.

WARNING: Before working on any circuits, verify that Power is turned OFF to the branch circuit coming into the outlet box being updated.

Device side wiring Plug Load Label Facing Outlet

As a reminder, keep track of serial numbers as described in Section 3.1.1.

Retro-ﬁt Installations (for single outlet plus branch circuit run continuing from box)

1. Follow same instruction as above, but pigtail the red hot wire to the run traveling to other devices on the same circuit.

2. You may run 2 separate runs that have 1 always HOT and 1 Switched Hot if so desired to the next run on the circuit.

INS TALL 3.0 SYSTEM SETUP

3.2.4 SWITCH AND SENSOR INSTALLATION

Motion Sensors and the Remote Switch require no wiring and detect occupancy/vacancy. Light Sensors also require no wiring and are used for daylight harvesting. These devices are engineered to provide maintenance-free battery life.

1. As switches and sensors are installed remove one of the labels with the unique serial number and attach it to the Device Tracking Form included in the Appendix to record the location of each device.

2. The sensor must be activated by pressing a small button underneath the label on the back side of the sensor.

• This can be accomplished by using a paperclip, the

screw that is included with the sensor, or similar object to push through the label and depress the switch.

3. Find a suitable location for the sensor based on the specications shown in the sensor coverage pattern in the Appendix p. 42-46.

For optimal performance:

• Make sure the sensor has a line of sight to the occupant

in the space.

• Plan on a 8’ radius of coverage when mounted on a 9’

ceiling (extended coverage for high bay or wide range versions).

4. Mount the cradle in the desired location via screws, ceiling tile wire (included) or double-sided tape.

5. Insert the sensor into the cradle.

• If desired, the sensor can be secured to the cradle

by aligning the holes on the sensor and cradle and inserting the screw provided through the cradle and

Note: When the sensor hasn’t detected motion for the time speciﬁed in “vacancy timeout” the lights will ﬂash 60 seconds prior to turning off as a warning.

As a reminder, keep track of serial numbers as described in Section 3.1.1.

into the sensor.

3.2.5 WALL-MOUNT AND SCENE SWITCHES

Wall–Mount and Scene Switches t into decorator-style faceplates and can be used to replace an existing switch.

1. As switches are installed remove one of the labels with the unique serial number and attach it to the Device Tracking Form included in the Appendix to record the location of each device.

2. The switch must be activated by pressing a small button recessed on the back side of the switch.

• This can be accomplished

using a paper clip or similar object.

As a reminder, keep track of serial numbers as described in Section 3.1.1.

• Lights must be turned on manually; they do not

turn on automatically at the start of the Occupied scheduled time.

• Vacancy timeouts are ignored and lights that are

manually turned on during the Occupied time will stay on until they are manually turned off.

• If lights are on at the time the schedule reaches the

Unoccupied time, the Audacy® Wireless Controls system will provide a 60-second ash as a warning that the lights will be turning off in 60 seconds.

2. Unoccupied

8.3.1 CREATING A SCHEDULE FOR A GIVEN ROOM:

• Any lights that are turned on manually will stay on

for the duration set by the Vacancy Timeout before automatically turning off once again.

• The Audacy Wireless Controls system will provide

a 60-second ash as a warning that the lights will be turning off in 60 seconds.

Note: Most spaces typically use either motion sensors or scheduling. If a space is using both motion sensors and scheduling, then:

• During Occupied scheduled times, motion sensors

will automatically turn on lights upon motion detection but will not turn them off if the space becomes vacant until after the Unoccupied portion of the schedule has been reached.

• During Unoccupied scheduled times, motion sensors

will automatically turn on lights upon motion detection but will automatically turn off after reaching the Room vacancy timeout period, regardless of whether the space is occupied.

1. From the LIGHTING menu, select the Room to which a schedule will be added.

2. Click SHOW next to SCHEDULE.

3. Select from Hour, 30 min or 15 min time blocks.

4. Click or click and drag to select the blocks of time for which the space is to be designated as OCCUPIED.

5. Click again to deselect.

6. Click SAVE to save the schedule.

9.0 CONSUMPTION REPORTS

Energy consumption is calculated using the data you provided during Luminaire Controller conguration. Click CONSUMPTION from the main AudacyControls.com menu. There are multiple options available to utilize the consumption data.

9.1 OVER TIME

This report allows you to view a historical record of consumption that can be broken down to a specic date

range, room and time period.

Note: You must click UPDATE to refresh the graph after the desired data is selected.

SOURCE – Choose to view the consumption of all rooms or select a specic room to view.

DATE RANGE – Select a start and an end date to view the consumption data between those dates.

BY – Select the time period each data point on the graph will represent: Day, Week or Month.

Note: Power Consumption is a calculated value based on the duration that the light ﬁxtures are on. Other factors like dim levels set and the values input for voltage, power factor and Ampere draw will affect calculations (see section 6.2.6). Fluorescent lamp power consumption data uses a modiﬁed 0-10V dimming curve that reﬂects a typical non-linear characteristic. For typical LED ﬁxtures, a linear 0-10V dimming curve is used.

9.2 BY AREA

This report allows you to view a historical record of consumption that can be broken down by location over a specic date range.

Note: You must click UPDATE to refresh the graph after the desired date range is selected

9.3 EXPORTING CONSUMPTION DATA
