HYTRONIK HC438V Tri-level Control Sensor

Product Information

The Tri-level Control Sensor, models HC438V and HCD438, is a detached linear version occupancy detector suitable for indoor use in the office, commercial lighting, classroom, and meeting room applications. It features a 24-hour daylight monitoring dawn/dusk sensor, a special photocell to measure and differentiate natural light from LED light, and an intelligent Lux off function with a daylight threshold prior to motion detection. The sensor also has a tri-level dimming control based upon occupancy (also known as corridor function) and an optional 1-10V or DALI dimming control method. It has a one- touch daylight learning via a remote control threshold and loop-in and loop- out terminal for efficient installation. The sensor also has a five-year warranty.

Functions and Features

Tri-level Control (Corridor Function)
Hytronik builds this function inside the motion sensor to achieve tri-level control, for some areas which require a light change notice before switch-off. The sensor offers 3 levels of light: 100%–>dimmed light (natural light is insufficient) –>off; and 2 periods of selectable waiting time: motion hold- time and stand-by period; Selectable daylight threshold and freedom of detection area.

• With sufficient natural light, the light does not switch on when presence is detected.
• With insufficient natural light, the sensor switches on the light automatically when presence is detected.
• After hold-time, the light dims to stand-by level if the surrounding natural light is below the daylight threshold.
• Light switches off automatically after the stand-by period elapses.

24h Daylight Monitoring Function (SAM7)
Our innovative and patented software enables our antenna with built-in daylight sensor to provide a “smart photocell” function. This function is activated when stand-by period is set to “+∞ ”.

1. The light switches on at 100% when there is movement detected.
2. The light dims to stand-by level after the hold-time.
3. The light remains in dimming level at night.
4. The light turns off completely when natural light lux exceeds daylight threshold pre-set.
5. The light automatically turns on at 10% when natural light is insufficient (no motion).

Settings on this demonstration:

• Hold-time: 10min
• Daylight threshold: 50lux Stand-by dimming level: 10%
• Stand-by period: +∞

Photocell AdvanceTM Function (SAM7/I, HIR04)
It’s well known that LED lights have a totally different spectrum to natural light. Hytronik uses this principle and comes up with a special photocell and sophisticated software algorithm to measure and differentiate natural light from LED light, so that this photocell can ignore the LED light and only respond to the natural light. Our technology has no infringement to the existing patents in the market.

Lux Off Function (SAM7/I, HIR02, HIR04)
The light turns off automatically whenever the surrounding natural light lux level exceeds the daylight threshold for more than 5min, even if there is motion detected. For HIR02 and HIR04, please pay attention that if the stand- by period is pre-set to infinity “+∞”, the fixture never switches off but stays at a dimming level, even when natural light is sufficient.

Manual Override
This sensor reserves access of the manual override function for the end-user to switch on/off, or adjust the brightness by push-switch, which makes the product more user-friendly and offers more options to fit some extra-ordinary demands:

• Short Push ( <1s): on/off function;
  • On → Off: the light turns off immediately and cannot be triggered ON by motion until the expiration of pre-set hold-time. After this period, the sensor goes back to normal sensor mode.
  • Off → On: the light turns on and goes to sensor mode, no matter if the ambient Lux level exceeds the daylight threshold or not.
• Long Push ( >1s): adjust the hold-time brightness level between 10% and 100%.

Note: if the end-user do not want this manual override function, just leave the “push” terminal unconnected to any wire.

Semi-auto Mode (Absence Detection)
It is easy to forget to switch off the light, in the office, corridor, or even at home. And in many other cases, people do not want to have a sensor to switch on the light automatically, for example, when people just quickly pass by, there is no need to have the light on. The solution is to apply this “absence detector”: a motion sensor is employed, but only activated on the main press of the push switch, the light keeps being ON in the presence, and dims down in the absence, and eventually switches off in the long absence. This is a good combination of sensor automation and manual override control, to have the maximum energy saving, and at the same time, to keep efficient and comfortable lighting.

• The light does not switch on when there is presence being detected.
• The light turns on full, and the sensor stays in sensor mode.
• The light keeps being ON during the presence.
• People left, the light dims to stand-by level after the hold-time.
• The light switches off automatically after the stand-by period elapses.

Note:
end-user can choose either function 5 or function 6 for the application. The default function is the manual override.

Zero-cross Relay Operation (HC438V)
Designed in the software, sensor switches on/off the load right at the zero-cross point, to ensure that the in-rush current is minimised, enabling the maximum lifetime of the relay.

Loop-in and Loop-out Terminal (HC438V)
Double L N terminal makes it easy for wire loop-in and loop-out, and saves the cost of terminal block and assembly time.
