Manually Calibrate A Closed Loop Daylight Sensor - Cooper WaveLinx Lite User And Programming Manual

Manually Calibrate a Closed Loop Daylight Sensor

In the WaveLinx Lite system, fixture mount, tilemount and integrated sensors use closed loop daylighting to directly control the physically
connected load.
Each sensor has default factory settings that provide closed loop daylighting to a reasonable light level when the daylight sensor is enabled.
The default factory calibration cannot account for all factors that affect the light level measured at the sensor. The sensor location is not at the
surface but at the fixture and therefore its reading of reflected light levels is affected by many variables, including the mounting height and the
reflective properties of the surface.
For many applications, no calibration is necessary. In addition, with WaveLinx Lite 4.0, the auto calibration feature may be used to allow the
sensor to dynamically adjust to the optimal light level. Manual calibration of sensors is recommended where the performance of factory set
parameters or auto calibration is unacceptable including:
• The light level at the surface is consistently too low or too high during periods of moderate daylight.
• The desired light level is lower than the 100% light output of the fixture (with no contributed daylight).
• Lighting does not turn OFF during periods of bright sunshine (sunrise for outdoor applications).
• Lighting does not turn ON during dark periods (sunset for outdoor applications).
In a standalone area, each device will be calibrated separately if calibration is necessary.
IMPORTANT: Before calibration, review the specific device recommendations for when daylight calibration should be
performed. See "WaveLinx Lite Device Reference Sheets" beginning on page 9 to find the suggestions for that device.
1: In the site list, select a site and then in the area list, select the standalone area.
2: Bring the mobile device within range (within 60 feet) of the desired device and then select the device from the 'Devices in this Area' section.
3: Once the device connects and opens, tap the 'Daylight Sens...' tab, and then tap the identify icon '
to verify that it is the expected device. The device should respond with the identification behavior described in the device reference sheet
section beginning on page 9.
After 15 seconds the device will disconnect and return to normal operation or tap the identify icon '
the command and disconnect manually. If an unintended device responds, try the next device and continue until the expected device is
found.
