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 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, each transmits their light readings to a single
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 DIP switch setup
of the sensor. For more detailed information about custom configuration
options available using ElahoAccess, see the ElahoAccess App integrated help
system.
Note:
DIP switch 2 must be enabled. See
