Acuity Controls nLIGHT Programming Instructions

A-LEVEL FUNCTION DEFINITIONS _______________________________

2 LUMEN COMPENSATION

An algorithm that tracks the LED luminaire's

runtime and manages its light output to

maintain constant lumen output over the

system life.

3 IDLE TIME UNTIL DIM

The length of time after last detected occupancy

that the luminaire will reduce lighting level to

Unoccupied Dim Level setting.

5 SWITCH TRACKING CHANNEL

The channel on which the luminaire receives

switch information.

6 FOLLOW PHOTOCELL MODE

Directs the luminaire relative to a dimming

photocell in its zone.

7 SECONDARY ZONE DIMMING OFFSET

Percentage difference of unit's dimming level

from its connected zone's primary dimming

level (Function 6 must be enabled).

8 WALLPOD DIMMING ADJUSTMENTS

Defines whether user dimming adjustments

are maintained after lights are cycled, whether

they revert to preset levels, or whether they

temporarily disable a connected dimming

photocell (until lights cycle).

A-LEVEL PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS _________________________________

PLEASE READ ALL 4 STEPS BEFORE PROGRAMMING

1. Enter A-Level programming mode by pressing button the number of times as the desired function number

from A-Level Detailed Function Tables below (e.g., press 5 times for function 5, Switch Tracking Channel).

2. The selected function's current setting is indicated via LED flashes (e.g., 2 flashes for Switch Tracking - Channel

2). To change, proceed to step 3 before it repeats 3 times.

3. While the sensor flashes back current setting, press the button the number of times for the new desired

setting as indicated in the detailed table (e.g., press 3 times for Switch Tracking - Channel 3). Sensor flashes

new setting as confirmation.

4. Programming mode exits automatically when setting sequence flashes back 3 times without interruption.

A-LEVEL FUNCTIONS

Lumen Compensation

Idle Time Until Dim

Switch Tracking Channel

Follow Photocell Mode

Secondary Zone Dimming Offset

WallPod Dimming Adjustments

Restore Factory Defaults

Dimming Rate

Occupied Bright Level

Unoccupied Dim Level

9 RESTORE FACTORY DEFAULTS

Returns all functions to original settings.

19 DIMMING RATE

The elapsed time over which changes to

dimming levels initiated via global or local

profile scenes are implemented. Note:

dimming level changes initiated via global

or local preset scenes are always immediate.

23 OCCUPIED

BRIGHT

LEVEL

The percentage of the controllable dimming

range up to which lights will rise when

occupancy is detected or the luminaire is

overridden on. Adjusting the dim level using

a WallPod changes this setting. When set at

100%, light level will match High End Trim

level. See function B31.

24 UNOCCUPIED DIM LEVEL

The percentage of controllable dimming

range to which lights manually or

automatically dim to, once the Idle Time

Until Dim timer expires. When set at 1%,

light level will match Low End Trim level. See

function B32.

PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS

B-LEVEL FUNCTION DEFINITIONS __________________________________________

1 NAME UNIT w/ NUMBER

Applies a number to the default name visible in SensorView (useful during commisioning)

2 MANUAL ON (SEMI-AUTO) GRACE PERIOD

When in Manual On (Semi-Auto) mode (Function B-18), the time period after lights are automatically turned

off that they can be reactivated with movement

3 PREDICTIVE EXIT TIME (valid for Predictive Off mode only)

The time period after manually switching lights off for the occupant to leave the space

4 PREDICTIVE GRACE TIME (valid for Predictive Off mode only)

The time period after the Predictive Exit Time that the sensor rescans the room for remaining occupants

11 OCCUPANCY TRACKING

Indicates whether luminaire will react to occupancy information

12 OCCUPANCY TRACKING CHANNEL

The channel on which luminaire receives occupancy information

13 PHOTOCELL TRACKING

Indicates whether luminaire will react to photocell information

14 PHOTOCELL TRACKING CHANNEL

The channel on which luminaire receives photocell information

15 SWITCH TRACKING

Indicates whether luminaire will react to switch information

17 FORCED OVERRIDE

Indicates whether luminaire is forced to max level or off

18 SPECIAL OPERATING MODE

Unique defined behaviors of luminaire:

NORMAL

Operating Mode where occupancy sensors are capable of turning lights both on/off

SEMI-AUTO (MANUAL ON)

Special Mode that requires the occupant to manually turn the lights on, while having them turn off

automatically by a sensor

AUTO TO OVERRIDE ON

Special Mode where lights are turned on initially by occupant detection but remain in the Override On state

MANUAL ON TO FULL AUTO

Special Mode that initially requires the occupant to manually turn on the lights, after which the sensor

assumes full on/off control

PREDICTIVE OFF

When lights are switched off, sensor determines whether occupants remain or left the room, so as to leave the

lights in either the Override Off or Auto On state

MANUAL TO TIMED OVERRIDE ON

Special Mode where lights are initially turned on manually but remain in the Override On state for a pre-

determined period (Timed Override Delay)

MANUAL TO NORMAL

Special Mode where lights are initially turned on manually but remain in the Normal State (enabling auto-

dimming) for a pre-determined period (Timed Override Delay)

22 MAINTAIN DIM LEVEL WHEN VACANT

Prevents lights from turning fully off once in unoccupied state

23 SPECIAL SWITCH TRACKING MODE

Defines unique behavior related to how luminaire responds to particular switch information.

29 OCCUPANCY EXPIRATION of MANUAL OFF

When enabled, operation of device will revert from a push-button triggered override off state to Normal mode

once the Occupancy Time Delay (adjustable via SensorView or push-button) expires. Not used with Manual On

operating modes.

30 TIMED EXPIRATION of MANUAL OFF

When enabled, operation of device will revert from a push-button triggered override off state to Normal mode

once the Timed Override Delay (adjustable via SensorView) expires. Not used with Manual On operating

modes.

31 HIGH END TRIM

Maximum voltage level of the device's dimming output. Commonly used for task tuning where absolute light

level is not to be increased via a Wallpod or scene. When output is at high end trim, the reported control

percentage will be 100%. Corresponding lumen output % is dependent on ballast/driver capabilities. Raising

setting above factory default is not recommended as default is optimized to driver control range.

32 LOW END TRIM

Minimum voltage level of the device's active dimming range. Level can not be reduced via a WallPod or

scene. Note, voltage level may go below this level when device is given an OFF command (for example when

controlling LED drivers with sleep mode). When output is at low end trim, the reported control percentage

will be 1%. Corresponding lumen output % is dependent on ballast/driver capabilities. Lowering setting below

factory default is not recommended as default is optimized to driver control range.
