System description

Proper use – NighmatIQ

  • Photo-cell controller, suitable for wall mounting indoors and outdoors.
  • Twilight setting function can be selected by potentio- meter
  • Can be used as a standalone sensor.

Proper use – NighmatIQ Plus

  • Photo-cell controller, suitable for wall mounting indoors and outdoors.
  • Functions can be set via the Steinel Connect app.
  • Can be used as a standalone sensor or interconnected with Bluetooth.

Operating principle

  • The photo-cell controller detects ambient light level by means of the light sensor and compares this with the light-level threshold selected.
  • If ambient brightness is below the light-level threshold, the connected load is switched ON.
  • If ambient brightness is above the light-level threshold, the connected load is switched OFF.

Electrical connection

Circuit diagram

steinel-066123-Twilight-Switch-fig- \(6\)

The mains power supply lead is a 3-core cable:

  • L = Phase conductor (usually black, brown or grey)
  • N = Neutral conductor (usually blue)
  • PE = protective-earth conductor (green/yellow)

The floodlight can also be connected to the power supply downstream of a mains switch if it is ensured that the mains switch is left ON all the time. The sealing plugs provided are intended for a mains supply lead with an outer diameter of 5-10 mm.

Installation

Hazard from electrical power

Touching live parts can result in electrical shock, burns or death.

  • Switch OFF power and interrupt power supply.
  • Using a voltage tester, check to make sure that the power supply is disconnected.
  • Make sure power supply remains interrupted.

Risk of damage to property!
Mixing up connection leads may produce a short circuit.

  • Identify connection leads.
  • Connect the leads correctly.

Preparing for installation

Functions that can be set via the Steinel Connect app:

  • Twilight setting.

Note:
To rule out malfunctioning, a minimum distance of 3 m must be allowed from the Wi-Fi router and the access points.

LED function

  • Initialization: LED permanently lights up.
  • Normal mode: LED OFF.
  • Identification: LED slowly flashes.
  • Firmware update: LED rapidly flashes.
  • Error: LED rapidly flashes.
  • Factory settings
  • Twilight level: 1,000 lux

Twilight setting
The response threshold (twilight) can be infinitely varied from approx. 1 to 1,000 lux.

  • = twilight operating mode (approx. 1,000 lux)
  • = twilight operating mode/night-time operating mode (approx. 1 lux)

Bluetooth interconnection (Bluetooth mesh)
The sensor switch complies with the Bluetooth mesh standard. It can be interconnected with all products com-plying with the Bluetooth mesh standard. The sensor switch is configured by Steinel Connect app. Appropriate network keys are saved on the smartphone or tablet the first time a connection is made between sensor switch and Steinel Connect app. The key rules out any unauthorised access to the sensor.

The network key must be shared for access via another smartphone or tablet.

Switching times
Besides setting the twilight level, the app can also be used for selecting times at which connected loads are switched ON or OFF. The NightmatIQ plus receives the current time of day via the Bluetooth connection with a smartphone/tablet, and uses this for future switching operations. Any interruption in the power supply to the NightmatIQ plus will result in the memorised time of day being lost. The NightmatIQ plus determines an approximate time of day on the basis of the sun’s angle of incidence from the past few days. To restore the exact time of day, you must reconnect to the app.

Cleaning and maintenance

The tool requires no maintenance.

Hazard from electrical power.

Contact between water and live parts can result in electrical shock, burns or death.

  • Only clean tool in a dry state.

Risk of damage to property!
Using the wrong cleaning product can damage the light.

  • Clean tool with a moist cloth without detergent.
