Acuity Controls nLIGHT - Enabled Digital Liminaire Programming Manual

B-LEVEL FUNCTION DEFINITIONS

1. NAME UNIT w/ NUMBER
   Applies a number to the default name visible in SensorView (useful during commisioning)
2. MANUAL ON (SEMI-AUTO) GRACE PERIOD
   When in Manual On (Semi-Auto) mode (Function B-18), the time period after lights are automatically turned off that they can be reactivated with movement
3. PREDICTIVE EXIT TIME (valid for Predictive Off mode only)
   The time period after manually switching lights off for the occupant to leave the space
4. PREDICTIVE GRACE TIME (valid for Predictive Off mode only)
   The time period after the Predictive Exit Time that the sensor rescans the room for remaining occupants

11. OCCUPANCY TRACKING
    Indicates whether luminaire will react to occupancy information
12. OCCUPANCY TRACKING CHANNEL
    The channel on which luminaire receives occupancy information
13. PHOTOCELL TRACKING
    Indicates whether luminaire will react to photocell information
14. PHOTOCELL TRACKING CHANNEL
    The channel on which luminaire receives photocell information
15. SWITCH TRACKING
    Indicates whether luminaire will react to switch information

17. FORCED OVERRIDE
    Indicates whether luminaire is forced to max level or off
18. SPECIAL OPERATING MODE
    Unique defined behaviors of luminaire:
    NORMAL
    Operating Mode where occupancy sensors are capable of turning lights both on/off
    SEMI-AUTO (MANUAL ON)
    Special Mode that requires the occupant to manually turn the lights on, while having them turn off automatically by a sensor
    AUTO TO OVERRIDE ON
    Special Mode where lights are turned on initially by occupant detection but remain in the Override On state
    MANUAL ON TO FULL AUTO
    Special Mode that initially requires the occupant to manually turn on the lights, after whitch the sensor assumes full on/off control
    PREDICTIVE OFF
    When lights are switched off, sensor determines whether occupants remain or left the room, so as to leave the lights in either the Override Off or Auto On state
    MANUAL TO TIMED OVERRIDE ON
    Special Mode where lights are initially turned on manually but remain in the Override On state for a pre-determined period (Timed Override Delay)
    MANUAL TO NORMAL
    Special Mode where lights are initially turned on manually but remain in the Normal State (enabling auto-dimming) for a pre-determined period (Timed Override Delay)
19. MAINTAIN DIM LEVEL WHEN VACANT
    Prevents lights from turning fully off once in unoccupied state
20. SPECIAL SWITCH TRACKING MODE
    Defines unique behavior related to how luminaire responds to particular switch information.

29. OCCUPANCY EXPIRATION of MANUAL OFF
    When enabled, operation of device will revert from a push-button triggered override off state to Normal mode once the Occupancy Time Delay (adjustable via SensorView or push-button) expires. Not used with Manual On operating modes.
30. TIMED EXPIRATION of MANUAL OFF
    When enabled, operation of device will revert from a push-button triggered override off state to Normal mode once the Timed Override Delay (adjustable via SensorView) expires. Not used with Manual On operating modes.
31. HIGH END TRIM
    Maximum voltage level of the device's dimming output. Commonly used for task tuning where absolute light level is not to be increased via a Wallpod or scene. When output is at high end trim, the reported control percentage will be 100%. Corresponding lumen output % is dependent on ballast/driver capabilities. Raising setting above factory default is not recommended as default is optimized to driver control range.
32. LOW END TRIM
    Minimum voltage level of the device's active dimming range. Level can not be reduced via a WallPod or scene. Note, voltage level may go below this level when device is given an OFF command (for example when controlling LED drivers with sleep mode). When output is at low end trim, the reported control percentage will be 1%. Corresponding lumen output % is dependent on ballast/driver capabilities. Lowering setting below factory default is not recommended as default is optimized to driver control range.

B-LEVEL PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS

PLEASE READ ALL 4 STEPS BEFORE PROGRAMMING

1. Enter B-Level programming mode by holding down button until status LED flashes rapidly, release, hold down until rapid flash again, release, then immediately enter programming function as described in step 2.
2. Enter a programming function by pressing button the number of times as the desired function number from the B-Level Detailed Function Tables below (e.g., press twice for function 2, SemiAuto Grace Period).
3. Staus LED will flash back the selected function's current setting (e.g., 3 flashes for 15 sec). To change setting, proceed to step 3 before flash back sequence repeats 3 times. To exit the current function or to change to a different function, wait for sequence to repeat 3 times and return to step 1.
4. Press button the number of times indicated in the particular function's detailed table for the new desired setting (e.g., press 1 time for 0 sec). As confirmation of setting change, status LED flashes back the new setting 3 times before exiting.

B-LEVEL DETAILED FUNCTION TABLES

*Indicates factory default unless dependent on model number.
**Setting precision of 0.1V is available via SensorView. Device status LED blinks out current value rounded to nearest selection above.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Mount through a ½" knockout in any junction box or luminaire. Secure with lock nut.
  
• Following above wiring diagram, connect wires to line voltage feed(s), neutral(s), and load.
• Connect low voltage violet and gray dimming wires to 0-10 VDC driver leads and green wire to an approved ground connection. Note wires have 600V rated insulation.
• Interconnect unit (via RJ-45 ports) with other nLight devices in lighting zone using CAT-5e cables.

A-LEVEL FUNCTION DEFINITIONS

2. LUMEN COMPENSATION
   An algorithm that tracks the LED luminaire's runtime and manages its light output to maintain constant lumen output over the system life.
3. IDLE TIME UNTIL DIM
   The length of time after last detected occupancy that the luminaire will reduce lighting level to Unoccupied Dim Level setting.
4. SWITCH TRACKING CHANNEL
   The channel on which the luminaire receives switch information.
5. FOLLOW PHOTOCELL MODE
   Directs the luminaire relative to a dimming photocell in its zone.
6. SECONDARY ZONE DIMMING OFFSET
   Percentage difference of unit's dimming level from its connected zone's primary dimming level (Function 6 must be enabled).
7. WALLPOD DIMMING ADJUSTMENTS
   Defines whether user dimming adjustments are maintained after lights are cycled, whether they revert to preset levels, or whether they temporarily disable a connected dimming photocell (until lights cycle).

9. RESTORE FACTORY DEFAULTS
   Returns all functions to original settings.

19. DIMMING RATE
    The elapsed time over which changes to dimming levels initiated via global or local profile scenes are implemented. Note: dimming level changes initiated via global or local preset scenes are always immediate.

23. OCCUPIED BRIGHT LEVEL
    The percentage of the controllable dimming range up to which lights will rise when occupancy is detected or the luminaire is overridden on. Adjusting the dim level using a WallPod changes this setting. When set at 100%, light level will match High End Trim level. See function B31.
24. UNOCCUPIED DIM LEVEL
    The percentage of controllable dimming range to which lights manually or automatically dim to, once the Idle Time Until Dim timer expires. When set at 1%, light level will match Low End Trim level. See function B32.

PLEASE READ ALL 4 STEPS BEFORE PROGRAMMING

1. Enter A-Level programming mode by pressing button the number of times as the desired function number from A-Level Detailed Function Tables below (e.g., press 5 times for function 5, Switch Tracking Channel).
2. The selected function's current setting is indicated via LED flashes (e.g., 2 flashes for Switch Tracking - Channel 2). To change, proceed to step 3 before it repeats 3 times.
3. While the sensor flashes back current setting, press the button the number of times for the new desired setting as indicated in the detailed table (e.g., press 3 times for Switch Tracking - Channel 3). Sensor flashes new setting as confirmation.
4. Programming mode exits automatically when setting sequence flashes back 3 times without interruption.
