Sensors in Rows

Single Sensor Controlling Whole Row

Purple & brown (or purple & grey/pink) control wires MUST be connected between fixtures.
Note:
- A maximum of 8 drivers can be wired to one sensor; confirm fixture driver count with factory.
  
  Multiple Sensors Controlling Separate Zones in a Row
Purple & brown (or purple & grey/pink) control wires MUST NOT be connected between zones.
Notes:
- A maximum of 8 drivers can be wired to one sensor; confirm fixture driver count with factory.
- Only one sensor is allowed on a wired zone. (Sensors can be paired together wirelessly via a mobile app)

Sensor Spacing

For correct operation, sensors should be placed a minimum distance of 8ft apart.
Wireless sensors should be placed no further than 40ft apart for good wireless signal connection.

Important Consideration When Using Sensors in a Row

For fixtures with wireless sensors (CS, SB or RA options):
DO NOT connect fixture purple & brown (or purple & grey/pink) control wires to an external dimming switch. Fixture mains wiring should not be connected to a circuit with an external on/off switch.
For best aesthetic condition, place sensors at ends of row only so as not to break the continuous lens.
For better occupancy coverage in longer rows, sensors may be placed mid run, but keep in mind this will break the continuous lens into discrete sections. Alternatively, remote sensor may be used, note the same wiring rules will apply.

Occupancy Sensor Coverage:

Note: Longer dimension of detection area (Y1, Y2) is parallel to longer dimension of the luminaire

Occupancy Sensor Coverage

Daylight sensor

The light sensor measures the total amount of light in a circular field of approximately 80% of the PIR detection area. The following aspects should be observed during installation:

Minimum distance from the window ≥2ft (0.6m).
Prevent light reflections from outside entering the sensor (for example sunlight reflection on a car hood) as this will lead to incorrect light regulation.

As a guideline the formula 0.72 x H can be used to calculate the minimum distance between the window and sensor whereby H is the height from the bottom of the window to the sensor.

****	****	****

Height

Minor movement

Major movement

| X1| Y1| X2| Y2

2.4 m (7.9 ft)

1.9 m (6.2 ft)

2.9 m (9.5 ft)

4.3 m (14.1 ft)

3 m (9.8 ft)| 2.4 m (7. 9 ft)| 3.6 m (11 .8 ft)| 3.6 m (11 .8 ft)|

5.4 m (17.7 ft)

The detection area for the movement sensor can be roughly divided into two parts:

Minor movement (person moving ≤3ft/s or 0.9m/s).
Major movement (person moving ≥3ft/s or 0.9m/s).
