Lighting brightness
level transducer
with Modbus RTU output
Do not dispose of this device in the trash along with other waste!
According to the Law on Waste, electro coming from households free of charge and can
give any amount to up to that end point of collec� on, as well as to store the occasion of
the purchase of new equipment (in accordance with the principle of old-for-new, regard-
less of brand). Electro thrown in the trash or abandoned in nature, pose a threat to the
environment and human health.
Purpose
The transducer continuously measures the brightness level (light
intensity) in the range of 1÷9500 lx and exchanges data using
the RS-485 port in accordance with the Modbus RTU protocol.
Features
» Measurement of light intensity;
» Operating status of the sensor.
Functioning
The module continuously measures brightness with a built-in
sensor at a frequency of 1Hz (once per second). Readout of valu-
es, setting of all measurement, communication and data exchan-
ge parameters are carried out through the RS-485 port using the
Modbus RTU communication protocol. The result saved in the
module register is an average value from the set number of last
samples from the range 1÷30 (for example setting the value
of 30 means that the result will be the average of the last 30
seconds).

  • Page 2: Transducer Design

    The module is able to signal sensor operation and overheating (status of register 512). Exceeding the critical temperature of 80°C may cause incorrect operation of the measuring system. Transducer design Transducer in special, compact-sized plastic box, connected thro- ugh a PG7 cable gland with circular cables of any length, maxi- mum diameter ø7.
  • Page 3 Separation No galvanic isolation between power supply, RS-485 line and sensor inputs. Mounting It is recommended to use shielded twisted-pair cables to connect the module to another device. When using shielded cables, ground the screens only on one side and as close to the device as possible. Do not route signal cables in parallel in close proximity to high and medium voltage lines.
  • Page 4 Installing the transducer in direct sunlight may cause the system to overheat on hot summer days. 1. Before installing the module, set the selected Modbus com- munication parameters and measurement options. 2. Disconnect the power supply. 3. Unscrew the cover fixing screws. 4.
