Product Description - AL-WS-DR1 wall switch with Vacancy/Occupancy
This switch operates just like any standard residential light switch – however it takes 24-51v DC instead of 120VAC, and directly drives up
to 30 watts of LED bulbs or a 12 watt fan. This Decorator style switch in a standard residential style outline fits into any home, looks like
any switch yet meets NEC article 411 for Low Voltage lighting. It also meets Title 24 vacancy code requirements for lighting controls.
When used as a LED switch - the built in Ambient Light sensor, and presence sensor, exceeds Title 24 requirements.
operate in:
Vacancy mode ( manual on, automatic off )
Occupancy mode ( automatic on and off )
Occupancy with Ambient ( automatic on if the room is dark, automatic off)
When used as a FAN controller – the push button starts the fan and it runs for a user defined time. Vacancy will turn the fan off after a
programmable delay. Occupancy will turn the fan ON if presence is detected for a settable duration. Fans are automatically detected.
Unlike conventional On/Off vacancy switches – the dimming feature of this device means that the light does not go off all at once, instead,
it dims slowly down to zero. Should someone be in the room and undetected – the room does not go dark – allowing the occupant to
create sufficient motion to maintain light.
Stand alone it operates as a simple switch for 30 watts of LED's. For example, 5x 6 Watt LEDs can connect in series to this switch /
dimmer device. Use AWG 16 or 18 to bring 48v ( or 24 to 52 volts ) from a central power supply over to the switches, then use AWG 20
to connect to your LEDs – no crimping tools are required to wire this device.
For 3-way operation – a simple 2 wire link with AWG24 or better allows 2, 3, or an unlimited numbers of switches to control one set of
LED's. Any single pole switch found at Home Depot can be used to add a 3-Way remote switch, or the AL-WS-M momentary switch can
be used for unlimited 3-Way connections.
To enable Home / Business automation – the AL-WS-DR1-PIR includes a DALI serial bidirectional port for remote and voice control and
central management. Use the AL-DALI-Pi Hub to connect to Alexa or Google home voice control. The DALI protocol is supported, with
automatic addressing. Use low cost wire in uncomplicated topology to implement remote management. Power and DALI have in and
out connectors to avoid wire nuts.
Multiple AL-WS-DR1 devices can communicate without any Hub using this interface.

  • Page 1 Multiple AL-WS-DR1 devices can communicate without any Hub using this interface. To enable Home / Business automation – the AL-WS-DR1-PIR includes a DALI serial bidirectional port for remote and voice control and central management. Use the AL-DALI-Pi Hub to connect to Alexa or Google home voice control. The DALI protocol is supported, with automatic addressing.

  • Page 3 Built in or remote Night Light If enabled, the AL-WS-DR1-PIR will turn on a light to guide people in the room without turning the lights on. This is most useful in Vacancy mode. The night light brightness is controlled by DALI settings or user selection.
  • Page 4: On / Off Operation

    Auto Gang Operation If no DALI address is assigned, the AL-WS-DR1-PIR assumes that the device is in autonomous mode, and not connected to a DALI bus. In this mode, each time there is an On/Off event locally – the device will transmit via DALI the dimming level using the reserved command 0xDD.
  • Page 5: User Programming

    User Programming The round programming button is used for setting user options. It is used together with the main switch. Press the two switches as shown below, the Night-Light will flash each time the second button is pressed. Repeat until the operation mode requested is active as confirmed by the flashes of the Night-Light.
  • Page 6 Hub Controlled Operation Default DALI Operation After a factory reset – the AL-WS-DR1-PIR only responds to DALI broadcast commands. There is no group or short address assignment yet. Since the device accepts DALI broadcast commands – any DALI switch or master that sends broadcast commands can connect to this device remotely for on/off/dimming –...
  • Page 7 DALI wiring / N-Way operation Unlike all other ATX LED dimmers, this device only has 2 connectors for DALI and N-Way, this DALI is not isolated, and the polarity must be assured. The Gray / Blue connector is the DALI I/O connector, Gray is DA+ and Blue is DA- .
  • Page 8 Motion Sensing DALI configuration Unique to this device are the DALI memory bank 0 contents. They are read / writable On Time Seconds of On Time renewed each time moment motion is detected The 8 bit value is multiplied by 30 for the number of seconds Maintain Sensitivity for keep alive.
  • Page 9: Sensitivity Settings

    ZWD management Sensitivity Settings The motion sensor can be adjusted from requiring a large amount of energy to activate or requiring little energy. 40 is a typical value, 0 is too sensitive for all applications, and 255 will disable the sensor. Brightness Settings The sensor can be adjusted to turn on the lights only when the room is not fully lighted already.
