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.

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

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.

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

however, double-sided tape is provided with the installation hardware. Simply press the double-sided tape to the
base plate, then mount the base plate securely to the mounting surface to ensure good adherence. Depending on the
mounting surface, however, caution should be used when removing the base plate when it has been affixed with the
double-sided tape, because damage to the Master housing and/or to the mounting surface could occur.

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.
