“Out-of-box” operation Upon first application of power the Minisensor operates according to the programmed memory of the EL-si ballast. If the ballast has no program then the IR buttons “ ” , “ ” and “0/1”(On/Off) will be active. Channel control is also active. This allows the control of channels A&B (please see section “IR- control”...
• Dims down channel A & B from last level (if lights were on). *) If Constant light has been enabled and programmed the Minisensor will set the lights to the Constant light level after a short period of time.
Constant light (channel A) Enable constant light function (only possible through initial configuration / minisensor reset). • Simultaneously press & hold "3" & "4" for 10 seconds. • The operation is confirmed by flashing the lamps. Note: 10 seconds This also resets all scenes.
10 seconds 10 seconds Disable “Manual ON, Automatic OFF” feature(only possible through initial configuration / minisensor reset) • Simultaneously press & hold “3” & “4” for 10 seconds. • The operation is confirmed by flashing the lamps. Note: This also resets all scenes.

PIR will switch the lights to the PIR OFF scene if no movement is detected within its programmed delay time. • PIR scenes can be any combination of light levels of channels A & B. Data subject to change without notice. For more information visit our website: www.helvar.com...
If the lights were already OFF when the mains was switched off they will remain off after the mains is switched on. Last level function can be turned off by carrying out Initial configuration / Minisensor reset. •...
Recommendations Plan programming carefully to avoid having to unnecessarily reset the Minisensor. (See appendix A) • Ensure that the Minisensor is located out of view of direct light to ensure correct operation of the • constant light sensor and IR.
