Sensor Description
The 31 series TAP Task Ambient Photo sensor (also referred to as the sensor
in this guide) are wireless, energy harvesting sensors that monitor light levels
within interior spaces.
The TAP-31 sensor measures ambient light intensity in two ranges: 0-1024 lux
(0 - 95 fc) and 0-65535 lux (0-6090 fc). The TAP-31 model uses standard EnOcean
profiles.
The sensors transmit the monitored values in 100 second intervals or upon
change.
These sensors are intended for indoor use only.

Page 2: Sensor Operation
Sensor Operation The TAP is a solar powered device that absorbs solar energy storing it for use during low light periods. Before assigning the TAP device to a Note: controller, the device should be exposed to a good light source for a minimum of 5 minutes or install a start assist battery. -
Page 3: Mounting The Sensor
Mounting the Sensor The sensor can be mounted on most surfaces; ceiling, wall, desk, cubicle wall, etc. When mounting the sensor on concrete or metal, mount the sensor first on non-metallic material to elevate the sensor from the concrete/metal surface by one half inch (example: 1/2”... -
Page 4: Installation Instructions
The sensor should be placed so there is direct exposure to a window or skylight. The most common mounting location for photo sensors is ceiling mount, centered with the window, about 4’ from the window. The sensor must be installed in the space where the linked lighting controller is operating the light fixtures. - Page 5 Linking a Sensor to a Lighting Controller or Receiver This process requires the controller or receiver to be installed, powered and within range of the sensor. 1. Activate LEARN or LINK mode at the receiver/controller, if necessary refer to the manufacturers documentation. 2.

Page 6: Test Operating Modes
Test Operating Modes The following tests or modes can be selected: 1. Light level test 2. Range confirmation test 3. Daylight harvesting commissioning test mode 4. EEP Select Mode Light Level Test: Run this test before installing so you can select a mounting location that will provide optimum light energy for the sensor. - Page 7 3. Press and hold the test button again for 6 seconds to select Range Confirmation Test All three LED’s will blink on and off quickly for a second followed by a pause, then repeats. When the sensor receives a range confirmation telegram from the linked controller, the sensor displays the signal strength status for 2 seconds, see table below.
