Elaho Light Sensor
Overview
The Elaho Light Sensor provides light level measurement and lighting control
for the connected Elaho control system. The sensor measures lighting
conditions to maintain a programmed lighting output in both dimmed and
switched systems.
Light Sensor Head with Controller
Light Sensors are available in three models:
E-LS - Light Sensor head with controller
E-LSC - Light Sensor controller only
E-LSH - Light Sensor head only
Each controller supports up to two Light Sensor heads. One head may be
installed within the controller, or both may be installed remotely. When using
a pair of Light Sensor heads, both heads transmit their light readings to a
single Light Sensor controller. The controller averages the received light levels
and uses the average to control the lighting within the space.
Custom Configuration
This document guides you through the installation and local configuration of
the Elaho Light Sensor. For more detailed information about the custom
configuration options available for the Light Sensor using ElahoAccess, see
the ElahoAccess Mobile App integrated help system.

  • Page 2: Wire Specification

    Echoflex Installation Guide Light Sensor Wire Specification Controller The Light Sensor controller utilizes EchoConnect for power and for data communications with an Elaho control system. EchoConnect is a bidirectional protocol that uses one pair of wires (data + and data -) for both data and power. Echoflex recommends using Belden 8471 (or approved equal) Class 2 wire.
  • Page 3: Installation Environment

    Echoflex Installation Guide Light Sensor Installation Environment You can install the Light Sensor controller to a finished ceiling surface or soft ceiling tile, or you can attach it to a round junction box or single-gang RACO junction box. The controller operates in ambient temperatures of 0°C to 70°C, non-condensing humidity.
  • Page 4: Installation

    Echoflex Installation Guide Light Sensor Installation The Light Sensor controller comes with a twist-lock mounting plate that can be mounted to a finished ceiling, junction box or soft ceiling tile. Determine the installation method and follow the specific instructions. Install in Junction Box on page 4 •...
  • Page 5 Echoflex Installation Guide Light Sensor If you are installing the controller in series (continuing the data run) to other sensors, sensor controllers, or stations, use the provided EchoConnect pigtail and ESD ground pigtail to make the terminations. If you are not continuing the data run, proceed to Step 3. Strip each wire to the appropriate length, depending on the wire nut or other termination used (wire nuts are not provided).
  • Page 6 Echoflex Installation Guide Light Sensor Install in Soft Ceiling Tile Optional EchoConnect pigtail sensor wires and connectors (optional use) Poke the adapter through the ceiling tile, then bend it over for a secure fit. Terminate soft ceiling wires here tile adapter Pull the Belden 8471 (or equivalent) and 2.5 mm (14 AWG) ground wire to the installation location.
  • Page 7 Echoflex Installation Guide Light Sensor Orient the smooth side of the mounting plate to the ceiling tile. Pull the following wires from the junction box through the provided holes of the mounting plate: EchoConnect bus wires and ESD ground wires Light Sensor head wires (if installed ) Align and insert the soft ceiling tile adapter through the holes provided on the mounting plate, poke the tines of the adapter...

    Echoflex Installation Guide Light Sensor Thread the appropriate washer and nut (two sizes included) onto either the head or the extension adapter (if used), securing it in place. Terminate Sensor Head Control Wiring Terminate the incoming wire from the controller to the head leads using wire nuts or other wire termination (not provided).
  • Page 9: Set Space And Address

    Echoflex Installation Guide Light Sensor Set Space and Address Use the two rotary switches on the rear panel of the controller to set the sensor Space and Address. By default, these switches are set to Space 1, Address 1. Note: Do not duplicate a device Address within the same Space. Commands are shared by all devices within a space.

    Echoflex Installation Guide Light Sensor Press and hold the [MODE] button for 3 seconds. The Mode/Sensor Count LED will turn solid amber and the “A” (Auxiliary) button on the front of the Light Sensor controller will begin to blink the number of times that corresponds to the preset number used for the dark action.
  • Page 12 Echoflex Installation Guide Light Sensor Dimming Light Sensor Operation When the DIP switch 1 is set to Dimming operation, the Light Sensor executes space raise and space lower commands until it measures the target amount of light or until it reaches the extents of the artificial lighting control.
