The main advantages of the system

1. Powerful output channels that control the load on each of the 26 channels up to 5A when the load supply voltage of the channels is DC12 or 24V. Accordingly, the maximum power per channel can reach 60W at 12V, or 120W at 24V. That is, you no longer need an amplifier, it is already built into the controller.
2. Convenient mounting on a DI N-rail in standard electrical installation built-in and external boxes.
3. Digital motion sensors in standard electrical installation boxes.
4. Support for ultrasonic distance meters. Convenient setting of the trigger distance. Constant indication of the current distance, which makes setting up and using this type of sensor quite convenient.
5. The controller supports sensors with a high signal at rest and zero when triggered. This is relevant for NPN infrared distance sensors on the reflected beam such as E18-D80NK, Sharp and others.
6. The remote light sensor allows you to choose a place of installation with a constant level of light independent of turning on or off the lighting of the stairs or additional light sources. After turning on the stairs, the sensor is not polled by the controller and the change in the level of illumination no longer affects the operation of the stairs until the end of the cycle of turning on/off the light of the stairs.
7. Convenient and intuitive system setup.
8. Adjustable “alternate illumination” of the first and last steps with brightness from 0 to 100%.
9. The possibility of changing the total brightness of the steps from 20% to 100% of the maximum brightness.
10. The possibility of connecting a through switch for lighting control at any time of the day, regardless of the lighting.
11. Low level of energy consumption.
12. Long service life of LED lighting sources (strips or spotlights).
13. Ease of installation and operation.

When motion is detected the backlight in the direction of human movement. Those. triggered by the sensor to the opposite. If in the process of moving when not fully backlight load sensor on the opposite side – is turned counter lights in the direction of movement of another person logged on to the ladder. After the staircase turns completely switched standby timer (specified in the Settings menu to claim 5), after which the backlight turns off smoothly stages in the same order.If any of the sensors are triggered during the timer countdown, the timer restarts and starts counting from the beginning. If the “Up” button or the “Down” button is pressed in the standby mode (or the buttons are not locked to the “Up Button” “Down Button” inputs), the backlight of the ladder steps will turn in the direction from the pressed button to the opposite side. The light will be on until any of these buttons is pressed again.

Using a Light Sensor

The controller can be used with or without a light sensor. When connecting the light sensor to the controller, its use should be activated (item 1. Settings) or deactivated if the sensor is not used. The sensor should be installed in such a place that it would not get light from the interior lighting. The digital sensor supplies a logical 0 to the controller port when the illumination is insufficient or a logical unit if the illumination level is greater than the set limit. In case of insufficient lighting the duty of the first and last steps is activated and the controller is allowed to include illumination of stairs on signals from motion sensors depending on the established algorithm (see above). If when moving up the stairs with the stairs on or off, the light suddenly gets on the light sensor brighter than the threshold of the controller – the lights of the stairs and the duty steps will be turned off, and the controller will go into standby mode. The operation of motion sensors and processing of human meters on the stairs is carried out even when the illumination on the signal of the light sensor is not carried out.

Scheme and how to connect

1. Please read this user manual carefully before connecting the controller.

2. Check the availability of the necessary tool.

3. Before connecting the equipment, do a test installation to make sure system performance.

4. Choose a place to install the box for the controller (for example, under the stairs or indoors switchboard).

5. Install the box for the controller.

6. Install the controller on the DIN rail.

7. Install the stair lighting elements (LED strips or spot lights. At the same time, keep in mind that the load power per channel should not exceed 5A. You can also use spot LED lights based on 1-watt LEDs or other similar lights with 12V power ( 24V) of direct current. Please note that the next first and last steps are connected to connectors “Out 01” and “Out 26” regardless of the number of steps of your stairs. When installing LED strips on metal surfaces, pay special attention to the additional insulation of the metal surfaces. as the 2-sided adhesive tape that is available on the LED strip does not provide reliable insulation. Also, insulate the edges of the strip at the cut points with heat shrink tubing, since the strip often has twisted contacts during the cut months, which can also cause short circuit to a metal surface.

8. Route the cable (eg PV-3, AWG18-AWG23) from the steps to the controller installation location. At the same time, you can lay one common power supply wire and connect all stages to it in parallel. In this way, the number of wires can be reduced by 2 times. It is recommended to lay the wires in strobes or mounting boxes.

9. Connect the LED strips to the laid wires using special connectors. Or with the help of soldering. If recessed point LED lights are used – connect them according to the instructions on the lights. The positive wire of the lamps (+12) is connected to the common positive output of the controller (Fig. 1, item 15) or directly to the positive terminal of the power source. Connect the negative (“-“) outputs to the corresponding outputs (Fig. 1, 16) of the controller. WARNING! A reverse polarity or short circuit of the digital outputs of the stage lighting control (16) will cause the channel, group of channels  or the controller as a whole to fail.

10. Installation of motion sensors:

11.  Motion sensors must be installed at the beginning of the first and last steps. The distance horizontally from the sensor to the beginning of the step is about 5-10 cm, vertically – about 5-15 cm. (for an ultrasonic sensor, at least 40 cm in radius.)

12. Route the cable to the motion sensors. It is recommended to use a shielded multi-core signal transmission cable with a cross-sectional area of at least 0.35 square mm. depending on the remoteness of the sensors from the controller, because extraneous electromagnetic guidance from possible high-voltage consumers and radio emitting equipment in the room can cause false operation of the sensors due to the occurrence of induction currents in the signal wire. Install the box (socket) in the wall. For ultrasonic sensors, the cable length should not exceed 8 meters, the screen should be grounded.
    
    
    
    
    

13. Connect sensors to the laid wires and controller according to the wiring diagram, Channel number of contacts and Cable colors. At the same time the power of digital pyroelectric sensor is made by bus +5 V (terminal 14, Figure 1). In some cases, if the sensors have a great distance from the selected controller or wire with a small cross section of the cable and connecting the sensors to the bus + 5V there is not a stable operation of sensors (sensors for control of claim 6, use the controller settings menu) motion sensors can be connected to bus + 12V (terminal 5, Figure 1). Attention! Reverse polarity or short circuit of the digital inputs motion sensors lead to failure of the controller or the channel as a whole.

14. Place the sensor box (Escutcheon). Install the sensor pad. 11. Connect the light sensor according to the wiring diagram and the colors of the wires, if it is used in your version of the backlight. the sensor is powered only from power bus +5 V (terminal 14, Figure 1). The signal of the sensor wire is connected to terminal 7 (figure 1). Attention! Polarity or short circuit the digital light sensor inputs will lead to the failure of a digital input, or the controller as a whole. To connect the sensor as well use a shielded multi-conductor signal cable. Place the sensor select such a way that it did not get light from the illumination elements set of steps, and most correctly worked out a change of illumination in the room “day-night”. Adjust the desired luminance threshold for switching the backlight levels using the trimmer on the probe. Indicator LED on the sensor signals it on or off. In poor lighting conditions the alarm LED on the sensor is activated. 12. Plug-through switches according to the wiring diagram. This switch is connected to the power bus +5 V (terminal

15. Figure 1). And connected to the inputs 12 and 13 (Figure 1). Attention! Misuse of power rails + 12V digital inputs through-breakers will lead to failure of the channel or the controller as a whole. 13. Carefully check the correct connection. 15. Select the appropriate power supply depending on the total power used LED strips and spotlights. 16. Perform installation of the power supply according to the wiring diagram.

ATTENTION! Improper connection of sensors or levels of light sources is guaranteed to lead to a controller failure.

System settings

1. The “SETUP” button after you have passed all the settings menu items, the changes will be saved in the device’s memory. If you do not complete all menu settings and turn off the power during setup, the change will not be saved.This setting menu item allows you to set whether the light level sensor will be used. Using the “Up”, “Down” buttons. “ON” – the sensor will be used, “OFF” – the sensor is not used.
2. Set the number of steps. Use the “Up” and “Down” buttons to select the desired number.
3.  Brightness of the first and last steps in the standby mode. By means of the “Up”, “Down” buttons the brightness is required. If you want the first and last steps to be switched off in standby mode – set to 0.
4. Switching speed. The shutdown speed will be twice as fast.
5. Standby time before switching off the stair lighting. The time is counted after the last operation of any of the sensors.
6. The overall brightness of all steps in working mode. 0 – does not decrease, 200 – will be set to 20% of maximum brightness.
7. Select the type of sensors you use. Press the “Down” button until the desired value for the upper (UP) and lower (Dn) sensors is set on the display.
8. Setting the minimum distance to the obstacle for the upper ultrasonic sensor (centimeters). If the upper  sensor is not ultrasonic – the menuitem is not displayed.
9. Setting the minimum distance to the obstacle for the lower ultrasonic sensor (centimeters). If the lower sensor is not ultrasonic, the menu item is not displayed.

Factory reset

Clause 6 of the setup menu provides an engineering function to reset the settings to those preset by the manufacturer. To do this, simultaneously press the “Down” + “Up” + “Setup” buttons and hold them until the second line on the display is filled with dots. Then immediately release the “Setup” button but keep pressing “Down” + “Up” until “Reseting.Wait” appears. then the settings will be reset. Reboot the system.

Information on the display during operation.

 When the light level in the room is higher than set – the light sensor does not allow the system to turn on. Instead of measuring sensor values, you see dashes.

If a pyroelectric sensor is used, the sensor is locked for 90 seconds after the first power-up to avoid erroneous switch-ons during sensor warm-up. The display shows the status BL when a high signal appears at the input (logical unit)

The display illumination is only switched on when the controller switches to the ladder switching mode or when you have pressed the “SETUP” button and entered the settings either “Up” or “Down” and forcibly switched on the lighting. “Button pressed” will be displayed.

Features of ultrasonic rangefinders

Ultrasonic rangefinders have certain technological shortcomings. They have a delay of ultrasonic signal processing for 50 milliseconds, and a delay of 0.5 seconds in the absence of reflected sound. Ultrasonic sensors cannot detect an obstacle if the obstacle has sound-absorbing coatings. The use of ultrasonic rangefinders is justified, unless the stairs have a fence and behind the stairs there is a passage area without people coming out of the stairs, the movement of which can cause the system to work. If it is possible to install pyroelectric sensors, it is better to choose them. The distance to the barrier is programmatically limited to no more than 120 cm. At higher values, the sensor will not measure distance. This reduces the time of distance measurement by the system and avoids significant delays in operation.

On the page with the description of the ultrasonic sensor you can see the diagram of angles of measurement of distance in the vertical and horizontal planes. Looking at it, it is clear that sound waves propagate at an angle of about 60 degrees in the vertical plane. Therefore, it is especially important to keep a minimum distance from the floor or step of at least 50 cm, and any other surfaces in the horizontal plane. Otherwise, the sensor will measure the distance to the horizontal plane (floor or steps) and not to the obstacle on the stairs. Accordingly, the ladder will be switched on at all times and entry into the settings menu will not be possible until the ultrasonic rangefinder is switched off. Setting the minimum distance to the obstacle is performed in items 8 and 9 of the settings menu. If the distance to the obstacle is less than the value stored in the memory of the controller – the controller turns on the lights. When the lights are on, the fault menu will not be accessible.

Additional Information

1. Sources of illumination as LED light sources may be:
   • LED Strip full-length stage (no more 4,8Vt);
   • Segments LED strips;
   • Spotlights mounted on the walls along the staircase steps or stair risers;
   • A combination of ribbons and spotlights (total capacity of not more than 4.8 W / step). Mount LED strips can be carried out:
   • In special aluminum profiles with a diffusing screen;
   • On plastic brackets (in this case it is better to use a waterproof LED strip).
   • For easy connectivity combined minus and plus contacts LED light sources use a single-pole terminal blocks or screwless terminals.
2. Power Supply
   • Sit in the power supply, based on the required power of the system with a 30% margin (at least 10%);
   • Connect the power supply through a circuit breaker to de-energize the system quickly if necessary;
   • Use the overvoltage protection device
   •  it will protect your system in the event of unexpected power surges.
   • If you use multiple series-connected controllers with different power supplies, the minusovyeprovoda should be combined to connect lighting.

First step
First, mount the LED strip. Connect all “+” clips to one lead to the “+” terminal of the power supply. Then manually alternate and one-by-one connect the “2 wire from each step to the “-” terminal of the power supply. Make sure that all steps work correctly and there is no wire shortage. Also, make sure that there is no problem in the soldering points of the LED strips. If the tapes are mounted on a metal base,  pay attention that the tapes do not close on the ground. Only convinced that everything is assembled and  connected correctly and the power of one step does not exceed 5 A (for a voltage of 12V nominally 60W, maximum permissible 6cW.) Go to the second step of connecting the tapes to the controller.

The second step. – Disconnect the power supply from the mains. Connect the test leads from the steps to the corresponding wires of the controller outputs. Note that the first step is connected to the “Out01” output, and the last step to the “Out26″ output. The second step to ”Out02″, the third to “Out03” and so on. If you use fewer steps than 26, the last step is still connected to the “Out26” output. After connecting all the steps and checking the correct connection of the wires and isolating them, you can turn on the power supply. Note that shorting the wires “+” and “2 of the LED strip will result in exceeding the permissible power of one step and failure of the output on which there was a short circuit or even all groups of 7 steps of the chip on which there was a short circuit. Please be careful. In this case, the first and last steps will be put on standby. By pressing the “Up” button “Down” you can check the LED strip lights. After that, turn off the power supply and connect the sensors according to the user’s manual. Then turn on the system and adjust the number of steps you need. By default, the use of all 26 steps is enabled. If you use fewer steps and have not adjusted the number of steps used, then when you enter from the top of the step “Out26” to the next one, there will be a large delay in time during which the controller will include unused steps. For ultrasonic sensors, the quality of the wires used is important. This should be a twisted pair of 0.5mm. square is necessarily shielded. Also, ultrasonic sensors may not work correctly when using sound- absorbing clothing or coatings. All features of ultrasonic sensors are described on the product page and in the user’s manual.

Ultrasonic rangefinder sensor

This sensor may not be included in your kit. lock Smart Stairway US-SR042 Depending on what kit you purchased.

The sensor can be used with the backlight controller Smart Stairway steps or security systems which is used to power the sensor voltage from 5V DC with TTL logic levels 5V. The sensor is designed for installation in mortise box rosette diameter of 65 mm.

Main Features

• Static Current: Less than 2mA
• Output Signal: Electric frequency signal, high level 5V, low level OV
• Sensor Angle: Not more than 15 degrees
• Detection Distance: 2cm-120cm
• High Precision: Up to 0.3cm
• Input Trigger Signal: 10us TTL impulse
• Echo Signal: Output TTL PWL signal

The procedure for installing and connecting the sensor.

1. Install the sensor into the mounting hole with a diameter of 60 mm and a depth of at least 22 mm.

2. Ensure that power to the controller or alarm system is turned off.

3. Connect the wires to the sensor using a special connector or using soldering or connecting clamps if
   the the sensor module has a soldered wire. (Depending on the type of sensor). Follow the diagram in Figure 2 and colored marking wires (Figure 2). A WARNING! Incorrect wiring can cause the sensor and controller to fail!

4.  Check the connecting wires.

5. Test and verify the sensor is correct.

Ultrasonic sensors are capable of detecting a distance in the range from 4 to 400 centimeters. The controller has a measurement range from 4 to 120 cm. Since ultrasound sensors work with a reflected sound signal. they cannot work properly with sound-absorbing surfaces and materials. Also, if the distance exceeds 1.2 meters, there may be a delay in operation due to the absence of a reflected sound signal. Consider this when choosing this type of sensor.

When choosing a place for installing the sensor, please observe a minimum distance to the nearest surface of at least 50 cm. Otherwise, the reflected sound signal can make the system impossible to work and will constantly cause the system to turn on.N For connection, use a 4-core shielded wire no longer than 10m. The shield of the wire must be grounded.

10. Sensor Module

Pyroelectric sensors require a warm-up time after switching on. Within 30-90 seconds, several arbitrary inclusions of the light of the steps are possible. To avoid this, the SmartStairway system provides for locking the system for 90 seconds after switching on, if the system is configured to use pyroelectric sensors. During this time, the operation of the digital inputs of the pyroelectric sensors is blocked. In this case, the indication of the signal from the sensors is carried out only by the green and blue LEDs inside the case on the right side of the controller. This is normal and not a defect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a system with a 5V DC power supply?
The system is designed to operate with a supply voltage of 8 to 25V DC. Working with power supplies and luminaires with a voltage different from the specified can cause damage or not stable operation of the system.
Can I use DC12 or DC24V charging inverter as a power source?
Not. The inverter is not a stabilized power supply and is not intended to power electronic devices. The inverter has an unstable output. Please use only 12 or 24V DC voltage stabilized power supplies depending on your LED strips or luminaires.
What kind of lamps can I use?
The system is designed to be used in conjunction with LED lights or LED stripes with a voltage of 12 or 24 VDC.

The current of the luminaires or LED strips should not exceed 0.4A (0.5A maximum, taking into account
the resistance of the wires at the point of connection to the controller) for one step. Exceeding the current will lead to system failure. So for one step, the maximum power of luminaires with a supply voltage of 12V DC is 12V 0.4A = 4.8W; with a supply voltage of 24V DC 24V 0.4A = 9.6W.

What kind of power supply should I choose?
The power supply should be selected based on the number of steps and the power of the luminaires of
each step. For example, you want to use 19 steps and install 4W lamps on each step: 19 steps * 4W = 76W. To the received capacity it is necessary to add 15% of the stock: 76W + 15% =87.4W. You should choose a power supply with a power of at least 87.4W. The nearest larger of the available 90W or more. The voltage of the power source should be the same as that of your luminaires (12 or 24 VDC). – Can I use the system from the outside? The system does not have water protection (IP20) and is designed for indoor operation. The humidity in the controller or sensors “Smart Stairway” is not permissible. You must ensure that it is protected against water when used outdoors. When using LED stripes from outside the room, you must reliably protect the system and the wiring from water ingress. – I’ve connected everything, but I have some steps that shine less brightly than others and

some do not turn on or off. What happened?
I can say with certainty that during the connection you made the closure of the wires of the LED strips or used LED stripes of too high power. This caused the failure of the controller output chips. Now they should be replaced. Also, sometimes the closure occurs when the LED strips come in contact with metal steps or aluminum profiles in which LED stripes are installed. To avoid this it is necessary to check the operation of each individual step before connecting to the controller. Also, the closure can occur when wet cleaning on the stairs and water on the LED strip without moisture protection. What can also cause a system closure and system outage. If you wash the ladder, please turn off the power to the system and turn it on again only after the staircase has dried completely.

I’ve connected everything and everything works for me, but I have a big delay between switching on / off the last and the penultimate steps. By default, the system is supplied configured to use 26 steps. If you use fewer steps, the system still spends time turning on and off unused steps. Therefore, you see a delay. You need to configure the system for the number of steps that you use. To do this, enter the menu item No. 2 and press the “Down” button until the penultimate step is turned off. Then click the “Up” button once. In this case, all your steps will be included. Press the SETUP button until the red LED is turned on continuously. Setup is complete.

Can I turn on the system so that all the steps are turned on until I turn them off?
Yes, there is such an opportunity. When you press the Up button or the Down button, the steps are turned in the direction of the pressed button and will be turned on until you press either of the two buttons again. Also you can connect a button without a latch (buttons for a door bell for example) to the inputs “Up button” and “Down button”. In this case, one wire from the button should be connected to the output “+ 5V”, and the second wire to the input “Up button” or “Button down”.
