Introduction to this guide Thank you for choosing the Philips EasyAir SNH200. This document provides necessary information to design in this product into a luminaire and configure it to suit specific applications. This design-in guide covers sensor functionality, mechanical mounting, wiring details,...
Such application areas should be normally ventilated. The EasyAir SNH200 has no protection against aggressive chemicals. • Make sure the EasyAir SNH200 is not covered by metal to allow expected RF communication. April 2020 Design-in Guide - Philips EasyAir SNH200...
Introduction of EasyAir The Philips EasyAir is the ideal solution for per-luminaire control of new light luminaires. It combines occupancy sensing, daylight harvesting and task tuning in a single package for easy OEM luminaire assembly. EasyAir operates with the established Philips Sensor Ready (SR)
Infared (IR) receiver The EasyAir SNH200 is enabled with grouping and zoning functionality. The infrared receiver serves as a communication portal for the commissioning and configuration of the sensor through a smartphone (Android platform) via Philips Field Apps.

Lens Shield An adhesive shield (half circle) is available with the product to minimize the occupancy coverage of EasyAir SNH200. To work with the shield, first determine the area on PIR lens that you would like to cover with the lens shield. Cut the shield, if needed.
Make sure no objects are blocking the sensor’s view and no surface reflection changes occur in the sensor’s view during auto-calibration. For example, do not position a forklift truck in the sensor view area during calibration. April 2020 Design-in Guide - Philips EasyAir SNH200...
The grouping and zoning control is setup together through the Philips Field Apps, a free app available on Google Play- Store. It is also possible to add wireless switches to the entire group for manual control. Furthermore, advanced grouping allows occupancy sharing (i.e.
Both grouping and zoning can be together set up via Philips Field Apps. Up to six zones can be assigned within a group, a group can have up to 40 luminaires. A wireless switch can be added to a group for manual control. Note that the switch can only control group behavior, and not zone behavior.
Daylight harvesting The daylight-based control is disabled by default in the EasyAir SNH200. When daylight control is enabled, the light sensor auto-calibrates when power to the driver is cycled. It takes at least 5 auto-calibration cycles (i.e. 5 power cycles) for the new calibration setpoint value to be effectuated.

Moreover, luminaires with standalone lighting controls create so-called checker board look on the ceiling. Philips EasyAir SNH200 overcomes these problems with smart luminaires through grouping and zoning features; provide full light output at occupied aisles and lower background light levels at unoccupied aisles.

Eco-on level is a configurable switch-on light level. This parameter also enables partial-on occupancy based control to meet energy code. Eco-on level should be a percentage level between the field task level and background light level. April 2020 Design-in Guide - Philips EasyAir SNH200...

Group occupancy sharing is a configurable feature to allow EasyAir SNH200 to share its local occupancy detection status and control lights accordingly. As long as presence is detected within the group, the luminaires stay on at the background light level in non-occupied areas.

Figure 12 shows the approximate location (marked in red) of RF antenna on the PCB board inside the sensor. Figure 12 - Position of RF Antenna on EasyAir SNH200 In general, every dB drop reduces luminaire to luminaire Distance vs TRP distance by 1 meter.
DALI interface as safety barrier. The SR drivers / bridge have double insulation on the SR interface. As EasyAir devices do not have additional insulation barriers, it means that using DALI drivers via SR bridge maintains the double insulation level.

Can I use multiple sensors with a single driver? No, EasyAir SNH200 is not intended to be used in a multi-master mode. In the typical 1:1 sensor to driver connection, a (single) SNH200 is the master and an SR Driver is the slave.
