General Description
Note:
Zilog’s ZAURA RF Wireless Communications Technology for Fluorescent Lighting is an
occupancy detector energy management system designed to save energy in starter-based
lighting. Upon easy plug-and-play installation, the system will detect occupancy in a room
and switch the starter-based lighting on and off without the use of control wiring.
The ZAURA RF Wireless Lighting Control System can detect occupancy in rooms of
approximately 100 square meters in size. Larger rooms can be controlled through the use
of additional occupancy detectors.
System Overview
ZAURA™ RF Wireless Lighting Control
Installation Guide
1
The ZAURA system provides power savings in conventional fluorescent lamp installations by turning off lamps when the room is unoccupied or when sufficient natural light is
available. ZAURA consists of three unit types: Masters, Starters and an optional ZAURA
Configuration Tool.
Masters are battery-powered, perform occupancy and natural light detection, and command ZAURA starters via wireless communication. A Master can be configured as a Standard Master which controls the ZAURA starters, or as a Range Extender which provides
additional occupancy detection information to a Standard Master so that the occupancy
detection range of the Standard Master is extended.
Starters control fluorescent lamps in standard ballast systems (L, C) based on wireless
commands from the Master. A ZAURA Starter can be configured as one of two types: as a
ZAURA Starter or as a ZAURA Virtual Dimming Starter. The latter is intended to be
installed near windows and is commanded to extinguish lamps if sufficient natural light
exists. ZAURA Starters are typically associated wirelessly to their Master.
Non-ZAURA (original) starters can also be used, for example, to allow selected lamps to
remain on 100% of the time for safety reasons.
The ZAURA Configuration Tool is typically used to change existing ZAURA Starter
associations, though it can also be used to place the ZAURA Starter into
for an initial association, e.g., if difficulties are encountered with wireless association.
Associate mode
Applications
The ZAURA RF Wireless Lighting Control System is designed for use in schools, offices,
industrial buildings and similar applications. It is optimized for ceiling heights from 2.5 to

ZAURA System Operation
System communication is performed wirelessly. In order for a Master and its Starters and
Range Extenders to communicate with each other, they must be associated (bound) to
each other. (To learn more about master/starter association, refer to the Associating a
ZAURA Starter with a Master section on page 30.) If any device in the system loses
power, then after power is restored, there can be a delay of up to several minutes before its
communication is restored.
This chapter also describes the operation of the ZAURA Configuration Tool.
ZAURA Master/Range Extender Operation
Installation Guide
6
This section describes the operation of the Motion and Light Sensor features of the
ZAURA Master/Range Extender.
Motion Sensor for Occupancy Detection
The Master/Range Extender utilizes Zilog’s high-performance Z8 Encore! XP® Microcontroller combined with a lens and Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor that have been optimized to detect occupancy. If occupancy has not been detected based on a userconfigurable time delay setting, the lights in the room are turned off to conserve power.
Light Sensor for Daylight Harvesting
For many installations, natural light is available during daytime and adequate lighting can
be provided even when certain lamps are turned off. The daylight harvesting feature of
this system saves power by automatically turning off luminaries connected to V irtual Dim-
ming Starters when a predetermined brightness level (virtual dimming threshold) of natural light is exceeded. Luminaries connected to ZAURA starters remain on.
ZAURA Virtual Dimming Starters should be installed to control luminaries in areas that
receive relatively strong natural light. A certain amount of hysteresis can exist such that
the starting of dimming and stopping of dimming occur at different natural light levels in
order to avoid on/off oscillation.
Natural light levels are also evaluated before lamp ignition. For example, when all luminaries are initially off and motion is detected, the Virtual Dimming luminaries are not
ignited if the natural light in the room exceeds the dimming threshold. All luminaries can
be turned off if the measured light level is 3 times greater than the virtual dimming threshold, as shown in Figure 6. This feature can optionally be disabled using a DIP Switch
inside the Master Unit.

Figure 6. Daylight Harvesting
ZAURA Starter Operation
When the Master is operating, ZAURA Starters respond to commands from the Master. If
the room’s light switch is set to the OFF position, all lamps will be turned OFF irrespective of Master commands. When the light switch is set to the ON position, all lamps will
initially be turned ON. After communication is reestablished between the Master and its
associated ZAURA Starters, Master control of the ZAURA Starters resumes.
In the absence of a Master, or when the Master contains either no battery or a low battery,
the ZAURA starters perform traditional ON/OFF behavior based on the position of the
light switch.
When commanded by its Master to ignite or extinguish a lamp, the ZAURA Starter will
perform a limited number of attempts. This behavior prevents excessive ignite and extinguish strikes on lamps near the end of their life cycles. The ZAURA Starter will again
attempt to ignite and extinguish a lamp if the lamps are cycled by either the Master using
ON/OFF commands or by manual power cycling the lamps OFF for one minute, then ON
using the light switch.
UM022903-0311 ZAURA System Operation
For safety reasons, non-ZAURA (original) starters can be used to allow selected lamps to
Note:
remain ON whenever the switch is ON.
Configuration Tool Operation
The ZAURA Configuration Tool, though its use can be relatively infrequent, can be
employed for the following reasons:
•
A Starter is required to be associated to a different Master
•
A Starter is required to be changed from non-dimming to dimming, or vice versa
•
A Starter is required to be associated outside of a luminary

Typically, one or two configuration tools are sufficient for a facility. The ZAURA Configuration Tool can be used with any ZAURA Starter, but is not required to be associated
with a Master. Refer to the Configuration Tool Method

UM022903-0311 ZAURA System Installation and Configuration
ZAURA Starters and Virtual Dimming Starters are physically identical; however, they
Notes:
behave differently depending upon how they are associated. Zilog highly recommends
installing the ZAURA RF Wireless Lighting Control System one room at a time to avoid
possible communication issues during the association process.
Assessing Room Requirements
Before installing and configuring your ZAURA System, you’ll first want to establish
where you will install your ZAURA detectors based on the lighting needs of the room.
Determine Master and Range Extender Locations
ZAURA™ RF Wireless Lighting Control
Installation Guide
11
Typically, the ZAURA Master is located in the center of a room; however, differing levels
of expected activity in a room should be considered when determining the Master’s eventual mounting placement.
For example, a university lecture hall full of students will pose different lighting requirements than that same lecture hall when only the professor is occupying the room, grading
papers; i.e., the general seating area will not require lighting but the area surrounding the
professor’s lectern must continue to remain illuminated. By placing the Master closer to
the professor’s lectern, you can ensure maximum sensitivity to the professor’s movement
and reduce the chance that the lights turn off while the professor is alone in the room.
Figures 7 and 8 can help to determine whether installation is sufficiently covered by the
occupancy detection range of a single Master unit. If the situation requires, add Range
Extenders to achieve coverage. When placing multiple Range Extenders, locate the Master
toward the center of the grouping.

Items to consider when locating Masters/Range Extenders:
•
There can only be one Master per control group
•
Coverage area, as shown in Figures 7 and 8
•
Clear line of sight from Master/Range Extender location to all main room entrances,
exits and areas where occupancy detection is required
•
Room obstructions such as pillars, walls, lockers, piping, etc.
•
Proper clearance around the mounting location
•
The ZAURA Master should be the only unit to determine light levels in the room and
to turn off the Virtual Dimming Luminaries
•
To better detect room light levels, the Master can be located closer to a natural light
source
13
•
A Range Extender does not evaluate the natural light levels in an area
•
Mounting material (wood vs. concrete vs. brick vs. porous ceiling panels)
•
Relatively dry area
•
Is there a requirement to have motion detection in every part of the room?
Determine Luminary Configuration
The ZAURA system for fluorescent lighting is very flexible to meet the lighting and
energy savings requirements for different situations. Figure 9 (also see Appendix A
page 44) illustrates how rooms can be configured. In the figure, the term ZAURA represents ZAURA Starters in the luminaries.

Figure 9. Example Room Configuration
There are 3 basic types of luminaries:
•
Luminary using the original starter (no change)
•
ZAURA Standard Luminary
•
ZAURA Virtual Dimming Luminary
Items to consider when determining luminary configuration:
•
Y ou may find it necessary to keep one or more luminaries configured with original unit
starters due to safety reasons. If no movement is detected and the room lights turn off,
there will remain enough light from these luminaries to navigate the area.
•
Room dimensions or environmental conditions could make it more practical to leave
one or two luminaries with the original starters rather than placing additional Range
Extenders to detect movement in every part of the room.
•
The more luminaries that are configured with ZAURA Starters, the greater the energy
savings.
UM022903-0311 ZAURA System Installation and Configuration
ZAURA™ RF Wireless Lighting Control
Installation Guide
•
V irtual Dimming Luminaries will turn off when the Master detects a natural light level
above a certain threshold set by the light sensitivity adjustment on the Master unit.
These virtual dimming luminaries should be located near the source of the natural light.
It may take some adjustments over time to determine exactly which luminaries should
be configured for virtual dimming.
Inventory Parts and Tools

Turn-Off Delay Setting
A turn-off delay feature in the ZAURA Detector allows you to adjust the time period
between when the last person leaves the room (i.e., occupancy is no longer detected) to the
moment the lights turn off. Longer delays reduce the likelihood that lamps turn off even
though the room is occupied.
The duration of delay can be set by adjusting the turn-off delay DIP switches. For proper
system operation, the Turn-Off Delay (DIP switch) settings of the Range Extender must
match the settings of the Master to which it is associated, as shown in Figure 17.

tracking purposes. You may find a permanent marking pen to be suitable for this purpose.
Associating a ZAURA Virtual Dimming Starter with a Master
Before the ZAURA RF Wireless Lighting Control System can become operational,
ZAURA Starters are required to associate (i.e., be bound) to their Master. Both the Starter
and the Master must be triggered for association to occur. After they are associated, these
devices retain their associations even if power (line or battery) is removed.
Apply line power to the luminaries to trigger all unassociated Starters to seek a Master
until association completes or until line power is removed.
28
Do not apply power to unassociated ZAURA Starters in multiple rooms simultaneously
during association. Master communication range can be such that a Master in one room
can associate unintentionally with unassociated ZAURA Starters in another room. For
this reason, Zilog recommends performing complete installations and associations in one
room or area before moving on to the next room.
Do not trigger two Masters to associate simultaneously.

Issues with Association
•
If the LED blinks green during association but not all devices are under Master co ntrol
(as can be tested by using the T oggle modes), perform the association procedure again.
•
If no associations occur during an association period, the Master will cause the red LED
to blink three times. If this situation occurs, identify any Starters that are not under Master Control (for example, by using the Toggle modes) and associate them using the
Configuration Tool Method
•
If a Master is requested to associate with more than the maximum number of allowed
devices, the red LED responds immediately by blinking five times and aborting association.
(see page 36).
A Master remembers all devices that it has been associated with, even if they are removed
from the system. The remedy for this instance is to first erase the Master and deassociate
all devices previously associated to the Master, then associate each device as required. For
further details, see the Deassociating a Starter

Reconfiguration of Masters and Starters
While installation and configuration of the ZAURA system can be a relatively simple and
straightforward process, it’s possible that situations can arise in which further understanding is required. This section describes what to do when you must reconfigure a room or are
not achieving the results you’re seeking.
Changing the Master Type
Should it become necessary to change the operating mode of a Master Unit (Master to
Range Extender, Range Extender to Master or moving a Master to a new location), it is
first necessary to deassociate all bound Starters (in the case or a Master) or deassociate the
Range Extender from its Master.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Will the Master unit operate properly if only one battery is installed?
A. Yes; however, battery life can be diminished relatively quickly, especially in Masters
that are associated to Range Extenders. The batteries operate in parallel and the reason to
use two batteries is merely to prolong the operating period before it becomes evident that a
change of batteries is required.
Q. If the room light levels are high enough for the Virtual Dimming luminaries to be
turned off and the
A. The ZAURA standard luminaries will turn off and the ZAURA Virtual Dimming
luminaries will turn on. If the mode button is pressed again, the luminaries will toggle
back to the state they were in before the test was started. Also, if the Mode button is not
pressed for approximately one minute, the system will reset to
Toggle All Lamps mode is started, what will happen?
Installation Guide
38
Normal operating mode.
Q. Upon initial installation of the battery into the Master unit, why does nothing seem to
happen?
A. This occurrence is normal. The Master is busy going through many initial setup func-
tions which include scanning the local radio traffic on or near the frequency band that is
being used. If there is traffic on or near the frequency band being used, the Master unit will
adjust the radio frequency slightly to avoid possible interference. This adjustment period
will last for approximately 45 seconds and the blue LED should be blinking while this
automatic radio sensing process is being performed. This occurrence will only take place
the first time the Master Unit is powered.
Q. Will the unit still operate if the Master is removed from the base plate mounted on the
ceiling?
A. Yes, although the motion and light-sensing functions can be changed depending on
the location and orientation of the Master unit in the room.
Q. Are ZAURA Starters and ZAURA Virtual Dimming Starters identical?
A. Yes – except for how they operate after the association process.
Q. Can I install ZAURA in multiple rooms at one time?
A. Zilog highly recommends installing ZAURA systems one room at a time to avoid pos-
sible communication issues during the association process.
UM022903-0311 Frequently Asked Questions
ZAURA™ RF Wireless Lighting Control
Installation Guide
Q. What is the best way to track which of my luminaries are dimmers and which are non-
dimmers?
A. It is conceivable that any given starter could be configured as a dimmer or a non-dim-
mer multiple times over its lifetime. Something as simple as a dot from a permanent marking pen on the end of a Starter could indicate a dimming starter. Labels, however, could
pose a problem, because starters have a tendency to get warm and the labels could peel off
or, if made if improper material, become a fire hazard.
Q. Does a reset deassociate to only one Master, or to all masters?
A. The Deassociating procedure depends on the method used. If the Luminary method is
used, all starters that are powered up and previously associated with the Master (when
both buttons are pressed) will be deassociated.
39
If the Configuration Tool Method is used, only the starter in the Configuration tool will be
deassociated (when the tool is powered up).
When Deassociating a Range Extender and using the Master method, all starters and range
extenders that are powered up will be deassociated when the two buttons are pressed &
held.
