Lighting management
The functions of SensControl ensure a high level of convenience at the workstation
and can significantly reduce energy consumption.
Constant lighting control
The constant lighting control function of SensControl adapts the lighting
automatically to the lighting conditions at the workstation (sunshine, overcast sky,
closed blinds). A brightness sensor compares the illuminance on the working plane
with an adjustable set value for this purpose. If illuminance is not sufficient, the
lacking light quantity is adjusted upwards. If there is too much light, the luminaire is
adjusted downwards. Adjustment is carried out with a certain rate of inertia in order
to prevent a rapid and therefore unpleasant modification of illuminance.
Presence detection
The luminaire is automatically switched on or off via presence detection. A passive
infrared sensor (PIR) monitors the detection range for this purpose (ellipse approx.
5 m x 4 m). The luminaire is automatically switched on as soon as someone enters the
detection range. If however the constant lighting control registers an illuminance
level above the individually adjusted set value, the luminaire remains in stand-by
operation. The luminaire automatically switches to stand-by operation if nobody is
registered in the detection range within an adjustable delay time.
Lockout and automatic function
Use of the luminaire at switchable sockets can be optimised with the lockout. If the
lockout function is activated, the luminaire remains in stand-by operation after
disconnection from the mains until a presence is detected or it is switched on
manually. If the lockout function is deactivated, the luminaire is switched on again
automatically following disconnection from the mains.
SensControl enables fully automatic operation of luminaires at workstations without
the intervention of users. With activated semi-automatic operation the luminaire is
automatically switched off with absence, however the luminaire must be switched on
again manually. This enables maximum energy savings. Unintentional automatic
switching on (e.g. in areas near to corridors) is avoided in this way.
Burn-in mode
In order to increase the lifetime of TC-L lamps (fluorescent lamps), these must be
initially burnt in. The luminaire cannot be dimmed for a period of 100 hours and does
not detect presence. Switching the luminaire off stops the burning-in process, this
process is resumed when the luminaire is switched on again. The status LED flashes
continuously in a short/long rhythm.
