Making the most of the Light bargraph

By setting a certain minimum or maximum amount of light to be received by the device, the Light bargraph may be used
to trigger particular commands in NetLinx. The red line on the Light Sensor bargraph is the threshold level. It is used to
determine the level of light at which to activate the Light Sensor Channel. The channel is activated when the light level is
below the threshold and deactivated when above the threshold. For more information, refer to the Programming on
page 65.

Making the most of the Motion Sensor feature

The motion sensor works by detecting the heat of objects passing by the front of the touch panel. Because of this, the
sensor works best when detecting lateral movement, such as when a person walks in front of the touch panel from left to
right. This appears in the Motion Sensor bar based on the signal strength: a hand waved directly in front of the motion
sensor is going to produce a stronger signal than a person walking by at the outer range of the sensor. The sensitivity may
be modified by environmental conditions, such as increased body heat or outside heat sources such as sunbeams or
heater vents. To set the Motion Sensor to best effect:
1.
Ascertain the intended sensitivity of the Motion Sensor. For instance, check to see if commands are to be initiated
by someone walking past the touch panel, if someone enters the room at the edge of the touch panel's range, or if
someone specifically reaches for the panel's face.
2.
Open the Sensor Settings page (FIG. 57) from the Protected Setup menu section.
3.
Watch the movement of the Motion Sensor bar while holding perfectly still. This allows tracking of other factors
that might affect the Motion Sensor, such as air conditioner vents or moving curtains.
4.
Copy the movement intended to set off the Sensor while watching the Motion Sensor bar, such as walking past the
device. In particular, watch for the spikes in the bar where the sensor picked up the most movement.
5.
Set the Motion Sensor bar to the desired sensitivity, making sure that it is located below the spikes previously noted.
If the bar is set above the level of the spikes, the Motion Sensor may never be set off by that level of motion.
6.
Repeat the movement and check to see if the movement exceeds the bar setting. Adjust the bar as necessary to set
the desired sensitivity.

SIP Settings Page

The options on the SIP Settings page (FIG. 58) enable you to establish network settings for using your touch panel as an
IP phone. With a CSG SIP Communications Gateway (FG2182-01, -02, -03), you can use your touch panel to make and
receive local, long distance, and international phone calls, and have access to phone features like call waiting, caller ID,
call forwarding, call queuing, and voice mail.
Setting up your touch panel as a telephone requires that you set it up as one in the CSG SIP Communications Gateway.
Refer to the CSG SIP Communications Gateway Operation/Reference Guide for information on setting up your touch
panel to work as a telephone.

The Wake Panel Sensitivity relates to the sensitivity of the motion sensor to detect motion and
wake the panel accordingly.
• Toggle the Enable/Enabled button to either active/inactive this feature:
- Enable - activates this feature. Activating this feature reactivates the panel from a panel
timeout (sleep) mode.
- Enabled - (illuminated when selected) deactivates this feature and makes the panel use
the specified Display Timeout value set on the Setup Page.
• Use the Wake Panel UP/DN buttons to alter the sensitivity value.
- Range = 0 - 100.
The horizontal WAKE PANEL SENSITIVITY bargraph indicates the current motion sensitivity
value associated with waking the panel from a timeout.
Press either of the two buttons to enable or disable 38 KHz or 455 KHz IR signals to be
received by the panel.
The Motion bargraph displays a vertical bargraph indicating the current value of the motion
detected by the on-board motion detector.
