Introduction to this guide Thank you for choosing Philips EasyAir SNS212 MC, EasyAir SNS412 MC. In this guide luminaire manufacturers will find the information required to design this product into a luminaire and configure it to suit specific applications. This...
Warnings and instructions • EasyAir SNS212 MC, SNS412 MC must be used with SR LED drivers, e.g. Philips Xitanium SR drivers. • Do not apply mains power directly to the sensor. • Do not cover the sensor during operation or mount the sensor internal to the luminaire.
Introduction of EasyAir SNS212 MC and EasyAir SNS412 MC The Philips EasyAir SNS212 MC is the ideal solution for per- luminaire control of smart luminaires. It is the future proof successor of Philips EasyAir SNS210 MC. Occupancy sensing, daylight harvesting and task tuning are combined in a single, compact package for easy OEM luminaire assembly.
Product characteristics EasyAir SNS212 MC overview EasyAir SNS212 MC contains multiple functions in one housing and uses two wires to connect with an SR driver. (See wiring diagram in the Mechanical design-in section.) Functions include: • Occupancy sensor (PIR) • Zigbee/BLE •...
Motion detector The occupancy sensor is a PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor that detects movement with an X-Y cross-area under an angle of X = 62° and Y = 84°. Two types of movements are defined as follows: • Major movement: movement of a person walking into or through an area.
To prevent false triggers, the EasyAir SNS212 MC must be mounted more than 2 m away from air vents in all directions, see figures below: > 2 Luminaire > 2 > 2 > 2 Sensor view shield The sensor comes with an occupancy view shield that can be used to block the movement detection by the sensor in a certain area.
The EasyAir SNS212 MC converts the illuminance signal into ON/OFF or dimming commands to the Philips Xitanium SR LED driver in order to maintain a constant light level on the desk. Window The sensor should be installed with a minimum distance of 0.6...
Daylight regulation and calibration Daylight regulation without calibration When daylight-based control is switched on and no calibration is performed, the light output adjusts approximately to 500 lux times the value set for the Eco-on level. If the Eco-on level is set to 80% for example, the light output from the luminaire adjusts to approximately 400 lux in the working area.
Wire distance for remote mounting ≥ ≥ 1 1.5 It is recommended to keep the wire distance from sensor to Xitanium SR LED driver less than 2 m and meet the wire gauge requirement to guarantee the performance. Luminaire-to-luminaire distance If multiple luminaires with EasyAir SNS212 MC are used in the same area, the distance between the different sensors should be kept at least 1.5 m.
Without the shield some light can tunnel through the white housing and impact daylight sensing. Mounting EasyAir SNS412 MC inside of a luminaire Easy Air SNS412 MC can also be placed inside of a sealed luminaire with plastic housing, because plastic materials...

Installing EasyAir SNS212 MC, SNS412 MC with ceiling mount bracket (CMP/W) The ceiling mount CMP bracket is available as a bracket without any pre-mounted sensor or cable. The luminaire manufacturer needs to mount the sensor in the CMP bracket and attach cable to it. The cable and screws are available with the accessory. Caution: The cable length from the EasyAir sensor to SR driver should be kept <2m.
Labels SNS212 MC, SNS412 MC sensors are supplied with three labels which each contain the assigned ZigBee MAC Address. For a typical application, the top two labels can be removed and discarded. For a network application using a gateway, the labels can be used to identify a luminaire and where it is installed in the building. •...

NEUTRAL SGND LINE NFC ANTENNA In case EasyAir SNS212 MC, SNS412 MC is connected to multiple Philips Xitanium SR LED drivers, the number of drivers Connectors is limited to 10. Not more than 4 drivers should have DALI LED+ LED+ power supply enabled.
1st second followed by dimming up to 100% in the next second. This behaviour is only visible in non-commissioned devices i.e. once grouped using Philips MasterConnect app, this behaviour will cease to exist. March 2025 Design-in Guide - EasyAir SNS212 MC, SNS412 MC...
Is EasyAir SNS212 MC “failsafe”? Unlike traditional occupancy sensors, EasyAir SNS212 MC does not have a mechanical relay. This is a benefit of Philips SR LED drivers, as on/off is done relay-free within the driver. Devices with mechanical relays should be designed so that relay failure results in “lights on.
