* Button 4 – reverts to manual lux control on the Elkay DALI PIR. The potentiometer marked is
- the lux pot located underneath the bezel fascia.
- Button 3 – starts the ‘Updates all discovered luminaires with Scenes‘ function.
- Button 2 – starts the ‘Find pre-addressed luminaires or address new uncommitted luminaires‘ function.
- Button 1 – starts the ‘Add group to pre-addressed luminaires‘ function.
-
D. Minimum Arc Power Adjustment – the brightness up and down buttons set the minimum illumination level the Elkay
-
DALI PIR will allow. When in Installer Option the first press of the up or down buttons turns the luminaires on at the currently set minimum brightness. Subsequent presses will increase or decrease the stored value.
Some luminaires such as fluorescents cannot go below a fixed illumination point so setting the minimum below this will slow the response of the harvester at low illumination levels. This level should be set so it is just perceptible the illumination is starting to increase on all luminaires. -
E. Override off button – When pushed in Installer Mode the luminaires will stay off even after a power failure or until the override off button is pressed once more. While in override off the signal LED on the Elkay DALI PIR will flash white. Only Elkay DALI PIRs that have been turned to off or hibernate (signal LED flashing white) will accept installer commands.
WALK TEST
Walk test can be used to test and setup the Elkay easyDALi PIR sensitivity
by moving in & out of the PIRs detection range. The signal LED on the PIR
indicates presence by flashing blue and can be used as a basic walk test.
During walk test detection the luminaires will be illuminated to full
brightness then after 10 seconds with no presence detected the luminaires will
dim but not go off.
To put the Elkay DALI PIR into the luminaire walk test:
- You must turn lights OFF using the remote first to operate and program in this mode. To do this, point the remote control at the Elkay easyDALi PIR & press the override off button. While in override off the Elkay easyDALi PIR LED flashes white.
- Set the remote control to installer mode by pressing the hidden installer button inside the battery compartment, the remote control LED illuminates red.
- Point the remote control at the Elkay DALI PIR & press the ‘Set‘ button, this will initiate luminaire walk test mode.
- The LED on the Elkay DALI PIR will be illuminated blue while presence is detected and the luminaires will be set to full brightness. The PIR w also flash red and green to indicate Walk test mode is initiated.
- Leaving the Elkay DALi PIR detection zone for more than 10 seconds is indicated by the luminaires being dimmed & the LED being extinguished.
Walk test mode will be exited after 10 minutes or by pointing the remote at the Elkay DALI PIR and pressing any remote control button. When the walk test is completed point the remote at the Elkay DALI PIR & press the override off button to return to normal. The remote control will automatically exit install mode after approximately 2 minutes from the last button press or can be taken out of installer mode immediately by re-pressing the hidden installer button.
Elkay easyDALi Network Solution Overview
The Elkay easyDALi system has been designed to make installation and set-up of
a DALI system quicker and easier for installers. With the increasing energy
saving requirements to cut emissions and energy bills from consumers and
businesses alike, Elkay’s easyDALi system is here to meet these demands.
Elkay have achieved this by making the first range of sensors that can
automatically configure DALI lighting ballasts, as well as the more commonly
used broadcast mode. The system provides presence and absence detection and
deliver daylight harvesting to ensure maximum energy efficiency. The Elkay
easyDALi PIR is a presence, absence and daylight harvesting sensor all rolled
into one.
In a brand new ‘out of the box’ installation of new DALI luminaires and with a
new Elkay easyDALI PIR, you can simply wire the lighting, the power supply and
the PIR together with the multi-purpose box and simply accept the default
settings of…..
- Broadcast mode
- Timing
- Daylight Harvesting
…and the PIR with just a few pushes of the remote control will find and address all luminaires control gear on the network and the installation is complete.
With just a few more button selections on the PIR and the remote controller, the product can easily set up groups and scenes as well as corridor modes, additional timing modes and the PIR will also automatically daylight harvest to maximize
energy savings.
Unlike some manufacturer’s systems Elkay’s easyDALi PIR sensors can be wired to control their own set of luminaires using in built DALI group functions to give control by group and not just by broadcast alone.
The complete Elkay easyDALi PIR is provided with just four elements.

What is Daylight Harvesting?
Daylight harvesting simply means that the easyDALi PIR sensor takes account of
how much natural light is available and increases or decreases the brightness
of the lighting that you require in your room or zone. As a result, you use
less power, save energy and reduce your lighting costs.
Fitting and operation instructions
-
Feedback LED – Green when button is pushed to indicate easyDALi remote buttons have been pushed.
-
Set Button – Saves changes made.
a. The set button is used to store the harvesting illumination level when in room option. If the illumination has been changed temporarily for some reason the preset level will be restored the next time the luminaires
are turned on or the harvester state is reset. Pressing the set button sets the current illumination level as
the preset for the harvester. -
DALI scene control – 16 levels of pre-set brightness to enable you to select a precise level of required
brightness from luminaire. The scene up and down buttons step through the stored scene information
of the ballasts within the luminaires. If the luminaires have no scene information these buttons have no function
but will halt the harvester. To return to harvesting press the ‘Reset to Automatic Daylight Harvesting’ button. -
100% Instant Brightness
-
50% Instant Brightness
-
25% Instant Brightness
-
Reset to Automatic Daylight Harvesting
-
Lux Level Control – This enables you to set the required lux level in the room. The amount of internal light combined with external daylight is measured
by the easyDALi PIR to produce the required output of brightness at the luminaire in the room. The lux button on the Remote Control can be used to set the exact lux level that lights will operate at and set the daylight harvesting level. To avoid inconvenient flashing in this mode, there is a time delay around the light level set to avoid lights coming on and off when the light level is close to or equal to the lux level set. -
ON/OFF Button- ON and OFF button and override off. The luminaires will be turned off for a pre-set period then harvesting mode will be restored. If presence is detected the luminaires will be turned on but otherwise stay off. While in override off the signal LED on the Elkay DALI PIR will flash white. Pressing the override off again will restore the Elkay DALI PIR to harvesting.
