UNIT DESCRIPTION

The LMLS-400 is a closed loop photosensor that measures the ambient light level in order to automatically switch or dim one zone of lighting. It is part of the Digital Lighting Management (DLM) system and sends light level signals to control loads connected to DLM switching or dimming room controllers. The LMLS-400 has photodiodes with an extended range of 1-1,553 footcandles (fc), and photopic correction to mimic the human eye, for precise measurement of visible light.
The LMLS-400 operates on Class 2 power supplied to a DLM local network by one or more DLM room controllers. Plug n’ Go automatic configuration assigns the photosensor to control load 1. Loads may be reassigned using an LMCT-100. Following a manual or automatic setup process, the LMLS-400 monitors the ambient light in the controlled space and works with the room controller(s) to maintain the design light level. The LMLS-400 uses switching or dimming setpoints and other control parameters to manage the light levels throughout the day regardless of changing daylight contribution.

Sensor Installation and Configuration Overview
1. Mount the photosensor so that the Photosensor Viewing Port views the daylight and electric light combined.
2. Complete all wiring and turn ON power to the room controller.
3. Use the LMCS-100 or LMCT-100 configuration tool to complete the configuration process. The LMLS-400 will notoperate properly until the configuration and calibration is successful.
a. Select the LMLS-400 to be configured, from the Daylighting menu.
b. Use Zone Setup to select the operating mode for the controlled zone (Switched, Bi-Level, Tri-Level, or Dimmed).
c. Assign individual loads to the LMLS-400 controlled zone.
d. Calibrate the LMLS-400 either automatically or manuallyIf manual calibration is chosen a light meter will be required.
e. Adjust Zone Settings and Advanced Settings to meet specific sequence of operation requirements.
f. Use Test Mode to verify the LMLS-400 operation.

PLACEMENT GUIDELINES

WARNING: DO NOT USE THE DLM LOCAL NETWORK TO CONTROL LOADS OTHER THAN LIGHTING IF THE LOAD IS NOT IN VIEW OF A PERSON AT ALL CONTROL LOCATIONS. DO NOT USE DLM TO CONTROL ANY LOAD THAT MIGHT BE DANGEROUS OR CAUSE A HAZARDOUS SITUATION IF ACCIDENTALLY ACTIVATED.
The LMLS-400 switches or dims electric light in response to daylight. It is important to select a location where the daylight is representative of the daylight throughout the controlled zone. The photosensor must not directly view either the daylight source (window) or the electric lights, but instead should see the light from both, reflected from the work surfaces.
When the primary source of daylight is a window (sidelighting), the LMLS-400 is typically ceiling mounted within the daylit zone which extends 12 feet or less in from the window. Figure 1 shows a typical placement location for a sidelit application.Wattstopper LMLS-400 Digital Lighting Management Closed
Loop Single Zone Photosensor - fig 1

IR COMMUNICATION

If the photosensor is mounted at ceiling heights greater than 20’, communication with the photosensor must be through another IR enabled DLM device such as an occupancy sensor or a wallswitch.
Infrared signalling can be affected by high ambient light such as direct sunlight, floodlights, and some halogen or fluorescent lamps, as well as plasma screens.
Be sure to point the remote at a DLM IR enabled device that is within range. To test, see if you can put the local network into Push and Learn™ (PnL) mode using the remote from your current position.

  • If not successful, move closer to the IR enabled local network device and more directly in front of it, or try pointing toward a different IR enabled device.
  • If still not successful, the IR lenses on the DLM devices may be dirty. Clean the lenses with a soft material such as an eyeglass lens cleaning cloth.

CONNECT THE LMRJ CABLE

WARNING: NEVER CONNECT THE DLM LOCAL NETWORK TO A COMPUTER’S ETHERNET PORT. NEVER CONNECT AN ETHERNET CABLE TO A DLM DEVICE – DLM IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ETHERNET.
The LMLS-400 receives power and communicates with other DLM devices through a LMRJ cable that plugs into the RJ45 socket on the end of the unit.Wattstopper LMLS-400 Digital Lighting Management Closed Loop Single

MOUNTING THE PHOTOSENSOR

In most applications, the unit will be mounted through a ceiling tile, with only the lens being visible from inside the room; the remainder of the unit will rest on top of the tile. The alternate mounting approach permits the unit to be affixed to hard surface. In these surfacemount applications, an accessory plastic mounting bracket is required.
An accessory for mounting the unit to a J-Box is also available.
The device has an adjustable head to accommodate multiple mounting methods and building materials or fixture walls.

WIRING DIRECTIONS

Installation shall be in accordance with all applicable regulations, wiring practices, and codes.
The DLM Local Network is free topology low voltage wiring. The LMLS-400 can connect anywhere on the DLM Local Network. The following illustration is for EXAMPLE only.Wattstopper LMLS-400 Digital Lighting Management Closed Loop
Single Zone Photosensor - fig 6 STATUS LEDS
Blue and red status LEDs are located in the sensor dome and are visible from all angles when lit or flashing.
Red LED

  • Flicker for 0.5 second = IR message received
  • Flashing once per second = PnL mode
  • On 3 seconds, off 1 second and repeat = Daylighting control is disabled
  • Solid = Sensor failure

Blue LED

  • Flash once per second = Test or Demo mode
  • Flashing once every 4 seconds = Override mode
  • Solid = Load binding test or PnL mode display

OPERATION

The LMLS-400 communicates with all other Lighting Management devices connected to the DLM Local Network. It is dependent on a DLM Room Controller (LMRC-100 series for On/Off switched loads, LMRC-200 and -300 series for On/Off switched loads and dimming capable loads), DLM Switches for override control, and DLM Occupancy Sensors for motion detection.Wattstopper LMLS-400 Digital Lighting

SENSOR PUSHBUTTONS

USER Button
Quick press – cycle through load binding verification test
Press and hold for two seconds – start automatic calibration (first, relinquish load binding verification test if active)
CONFIG Button

  • Quick press – if the system is not presently in PnL mode, the red LED will flash once. If the system is in PnL mode at the time of the press, the system will advance to select the next load on the IRB in sequence.

  • Press and hold for 2 seconds – when the button has been held down for two seconds, the red LED will flash; releasing the button at this time will cause the system to enter PnL mode if it is not presently active (and the red LED will begin to flash slowly), or exit PnL mode if active (and cause the red LED to cease flashing).
    Wattstopper LMLS-400 Digital Lighting Management Closed Loop Single Zone
Photosensor - fig 8

  • Press and hold for 10 seconds – when the button has been held down for ten seconds, the red LED will stop flashing and turn on solid; releasing the button at this time will cause the LMLS-400 to clear its load bindings, but otherwise leave its internal parameters unmodified.

  • Press and hold for 20 seconds – if the button is held down for twenty seconds or more, the red LED again starts to flash; releasing the button at this time will cause the device to completely reset to its factory defaults, and remove any configuration locks (i.e., Plug n’ Go™ (PnG) mode will be reenabled).

OPERATING MODES

Plug n’ Go
The default operating mode for the LMLS-400 is Plug n’ Go™ (PnG). Upon initial power up, the system automatically takes inventory of the devices on the DLM Local Network and allows immediate operation of devices in the most energy efficient manner. When only one LMLS-400 is found, it is automatically assigned to Load 1. Based on the attributes of the room controller, the LMLS-400 will configure itself to Switching or Dimming Mode.
Push n’ Learn
Push and Learn™ (PnL) mode provides for remote load binding and configuration within the room, without requiring direct access to the Room Controller(s). While the LMLS-400 must be configured through the use of a configuration tool (e.g., LMCT-100), the CONFIG button at the back of the product can be used to force the system into or out of PnL mode, and/or to step to the next load in sequence, when configuring devices other than the LMLS-400.
Confirmation of Load Binding
To provide a confirmation of load bindings after installation, a quick press using a paper clip on the USER button sequences through three states:
1st press – all controlled loads forced ON at 100%
2nd press – all controlled loads forced OFF at 0%
3rd press – exit load binding confirmation mode and resume normal control. (Confirmation mode cancels automatically after 5 minutes if no further action is taken after the 1st or 2nd press.)
Test Mode
In Test Mode, time delays are reduced to 5 seconds (to create near-immediate reactions to changes in measured light levels), and the ramp rate increases to 20%/second (to cause the changes to be immediately visible).
To activate Test Mode, press and hold the USER button for 2 seconds or use a configuration tool. If not cancelled by the user, the controller automatically exits Test Mode after 5 minutes.
User Override of Levels Set by Daylighting Control
The electric light levels of loads configured for daylighting control can be adjusted from DLM wall switches, within limitations established by LMLS parameters that are set using the Advanced Settings screen of the LMCT-100.
The light level can always be reduced (by turning off loads in a switched zone, or by lowering the level of loads in a dimmed zone) without restriction. When a load is dimmed down from its daylighting-permitted level, the new level set becomes the maximum electric light level for that load (a “cap” level), regardless of daylight contribution, until the load is turned off and back on again, or until the level is adjusted upwards. If a load has been dimmed, a single tap on the top of a controlling switch’s rocker will return the level to the maximum allowed by daylighting at that time, and cancel the level restriction (“cap”) set by the earlier user adjustment. Increasing the light level above that set by daylighting is possible only if Allow Override is set to Yes (the default is No). For switched modes, this means that the loads can be turned on even when the present ambient light level is above the On Setpoint. In the case of dimmed mode, a load will turn on and adjust to its daylighting-permitted level, but a subsequent tap on the top of a controlling switch will increase the level to maximum. In either mode, the affected loads will be temporarily removed from daylighting control, and be placed in an “override” state. The levels of the overridden loads can be changed or adjusted, and they will not return to daylighting control unless they are turned off and back on again (for example, by a cycle of occupancy).
If the Override Time parameter is changed from its default (Infinity) to a fixed time (e.g., 1 hour), all loads presently overridden will return to automatic daylighting control after the selected time period lapses.
Any loads not affected by the switch actions causing the override will continue to be controlled by daylighting; overrides occur on a loadby-load basis.
If any daylighting loads are presently overridden, the blue LED in the sensor head will flash once every four seconds.
To provide the ability to set arbitrary light levels in Dimmed applications, a switch with a dimming control rocker (e.g., LMDM-101 or LMSW-105) should be used.
Scene Control and Daylighting
Setting a new light level using a scene switch is possible, provided Hold Off is set to No (default). Such a light level change is not considered an override. If daylighting control is active when the new scene is selected, daylighting control suspends until the new scene is displayed, and then resumes, with the new light level established by the scene as the maximum electric light level (“cap” level), on a load-by-load basis, until a subsequent user action changes the level. Any daylighting loads not included in the scene will continue to operate as before the recall.
Optionally, daylighting control can be temporarily disabled for any loads on which a scene has been recalled. If Scenes Stop DL is set to Yes, daylighting control for a load affected by a scene will not resume until the level of the load is changed by another user action, or the load is turned off and on again.

CONFIGURATION

The configuration process establishes the appropriate parameters for operation. This is done through the use of an LMCT-100 configuration tool. If no configuration steps are taken, the sensor will use its default values for setpoints.
Wattstopper LMLS-400 Digital Lighting Management Closed Loop Single Zone
Photosensor - fig 9The LMCT-100 Wireless IR Configuration Tool is a handheld tool for setup and testing of WattStopper Digital Lighting Management (DLM) devices. It provides wireless access to occupancy and daylighting sensors for setup and parameter changes, WattStopper Push n’ Learn™ (PnL) technology for load configuration, switch and dimmer assignment and operating parameter changes. The LMCT-100’s display shows menus and prompts to lead you through each process. The navigation pad provides a familiar way to navigate through the customization fields. The LMCT-100 allows modification of the system without requiring ladders or tools; simply with a touch of a few buttons.
Operation
The LMCT-100’s IR transceiver allows bi-directional communication between DLM devices and the LMCT-100. Simple menu screens let you see the current status of the system and make changes. It can change any of the DLM occupancy sensor parameters such as sensitivity, time delay and more. With the LMCT-100 you can also change load configurations, without any new wiring.
For systems including the LMLS-400 Daylighting sensor the LMCT-100 can also set or change the daylight level parameters. The LMCT100 can change dimming system options such as scene assignments, ramp rates and other options not available through the standard user interface.
Batteries
The LMCT-100 operates on three standard 1.5V AAA Alkaline batteries or three rechargeable AAA NiMH batteries.
The battery status displays in the upper right corner of the display. Three bars next to BAT= indicates a full battery charge. A warning appears on the display when the battery
level falls below a minimum acceptable level.
To conserve battery power, the LMCT-100 automatically shuts off 10 minutes after the last key press.

The Hold Off setting selects the behavior of daylighting loads when they are turned ON, by a switch or occupancy sensor. If Hold Off = (default), the loads can always be turned on to their previous level, and then will begin to adjust based upon daylight.
Wattstopper LMLS-400 Digital Lighting Management Closed Loop Single Zone
Photosensor - fig 53If Hold Off = , the sensor will limit the loads to the level presently allowed by daylight contribution. This means that the loads may not initially turn ON (if the ambient light level is high – above the ON or Dimming Setpoint), but will become active for daylighting control, and will turn ON or dim up as daylight contribution drops.”

TROUBLESHOOTING

Lights do not switch or dim when desired, under daylight control

  • Use the pushbutton on the photosensor face to manually test load control (see SENSOR PUSHBUTTONS on page 3). If the lights do not switch on and off, check Zone Setup to rebind the loads. If the lights do switch on and off, use the Zone Settings screen to verify that the On and Off setpoints are correct (if Switched / Bi-Level / Tri-Level) or Day and Night setpoints are correct (if Dimmed). Place the photosensor in Test Mode to quickly verify daylighting operation; shine a flashlight into the sensor, or cover the sensor, to simulate major light level changes.

Red LED is ON, not flashing

  • There is an internal failure in the LMLS-400 sensor. Try unplugging the sensor from the DLM network, then plug it back in and wait for ten seconds. If the red LED comes back on, and is not flashing, the sensor is defective and must be replaced.

Red LED is flashing ON for three seconds, OFF for one second (repeating)

  • The LMLS sensor is in Control Mode . Use the LMCT-100 to change the Control Mode parameter to to resume daylighting operation.

Blue LED is flashing

  • If the blink is slow (one flash every four seconds), the photosensor is in an override condition, either due to an override from a wall switch or due to an automatic or manual commissioning operation. If the latter, complete the commissioning operation first; otherwise, use a wall switch to turn off the controlled loads to terminate the override.
  • If the blink is faster (one flash every second), the photosensor is in Test Mode or Demo Mode. Test Mode will cancel automatically after five minutes. Alternatively, it can be turned off by selecting the Control Mode menu from the LMLS-400 main screen in the LMCT-100.

Reset to Factory Defaults

  • If the photosensor has been moved from a different location, or its internal parameters are unknown and an LMCT-100 is not immediately available, it can be reset to factory defaults by pressing and holding the CONFIG button for 20 seconds (see SENSOR PUSHBUTTONS on page 3).
