Introduction

General Description

The Douglas Lighting Controls Bluetooth® Fixture Controller & Sensor (FMS) provides automated individual and group control of light fixtures using onboard sensors and Bluetooth technology. It is easily installed for ON/OFF or bi- level light functionality. The daylight sensor provides additional energy savings by dimming the lights when natural daylight is available in open-sided parking garages or from windows.
Configuration of the Douglas Lighting Controls Fixture Controller & Sensor is done conveniently at deck level with our Smartphone App using the Bluetooth protocol to communicate with the device. A wireless mesh network is created between devices for control over a group of Douglas Lighting Controls Bluetooth equipment.
The BT-FMS-A has a maximum vertical range of 40 feet and is powered from the fixture. It is tested to applicable UL and CSA standards and enables users to meets ASHRAE 90.1 and Title 24 energy code requirements. After configuring the devices, the system will automatically operate to control lighting based on occupancy in the area and the system settings.
Typical Applications: Parking Garages, Warehouses, Manufacturing Facilities.
NOTE: The instructions in this manual apply to version v1.20 and higher. This version of the FMS is part of the Douglas Bluetooth ecosystem and can be integrated into projects using switches and other Douglas BT devices. The version number is provided as the top line of the FMS configuration screen, which is described in the following pages.
Prior versions of the FMS were not suitable for integration with other Douglas BT components and are not addressed in this manual.

Installation Features

The device is designed to be mounted into a ½” knockout in a listed light fixture or electrical junction box or panel with an opening that can fit the threaded chase nipple.

  • Thoughtful design to maximize sensor coverage range
  • Bluetooth enabled for deck level configuration and wireless mesh networking

Installation/Wiring

CAUTION
Risk of Electric Shock. All servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel.
To reduce the risks of electric shock disconnect power connections before servicing.

  • Douglas Lighting Controls Bluetooth Fixture Controller & Sensor mounts directly into a standard 1/2” knockout
  • If fixture overhang is greater than ½” then use full length chase nipple and spacer. For overhang less than ½” the chase nipple length can be reduced by using needle nose pliers to snap the extension at the break point (see diagram on next page).
  • Install device into position (use spacer if fixture overhang is greater than ½”)
  • For installation with field installed conductors of 60°C minimum rating.
  • The following wire connections are provided:
  • 0-10V connection (violet / grey): #20AWG
  • Line Voltage/Relay connection (black / white / red): #14AWG
  • Connect wires as shown on diagram
  • Use appropriate sized wire-nuts to connect field installed conductors
  • System programming and configuration > see System Set-up section

System Layout & Design

Before You Start

  • A best practise is to use a dedicated iPod or iPhone as the project’s system set-up device rather than a personal smartphone as the system settings stay with the Apple ID.
  • When setting up the iOS device Apple ID, iCloud account, and network access, chose names carefully, record accurately, and store in a reliable location.
  • Once a Fixture Controller & Sensor has been added to a network (associated), do not remove (disassociate) it before ensuring it is connected to, and communicating with, the system set-up device.

System Set-Up Overview
| The system set-up device
Each lighting control installation requires an iOS device and an iCloud account to be used for system set-up and storing system parameters. Acceptable devices include:

  •  iPod Gen 6 or newer and iOS 10.x or higher
  • iPhone 6 or newer and iOS 10.x or higher

Douglas Lighting Controls recommends using a project-dedicated device, not one which is used for personal and/or other company data and communications. Details on iCloud accounts, including instructions for setup, can be found at www.apple.com/icloud.
An iOS device with iCloud account is needed to download the App and to back up the system parameters on iCloud. Each iCloud account can have only one instance of the App, and the App can create and maintain only one database. A database stores the system parameters. The database is identified by the Network Key and accessed using the Admin Password (both values are entered during system set-up).

Description of the system set-up process
After an iOS device is configured with an iCloud account and the App downloaded, the system set-up process can begin. First, system parameters are entered. These include:

  • Site Name
  • Network Key
  • Admin Password

Record this information accurately and store in a reliable location.
These parameters are critical to accessing the system. A good method for recording this information is screen capture the network setup page. To take a screen shot, press and hold the ON/OFF button, then momentarily press the Home button. The screen capture will be saved as an image accessible via the Photos icon. The screen capture can then be emailed to a few people for recovery purposes. Again, it is very important to keep track of this data and of the iOS device itself.
After the system network parameters are established, typical system set-up steps will be:

  • Finding unassociated Douglas Lighting Controls Bluetooth devices
  • Associating an FMS to the Network
  • Creating “rooms” for the project
  • Completing the FMS setup
  • Adding and setting up additional BT-FMS-A and other Douglas Lighting Controls Bluetooth devices

Spatial organization
A Douglas Lighting Controls Bluetooth wireless network can have multiple rooms and each room can have up to eight lighting zones. Rooms and Zones are defined in the system set-up. Review your floor plans to find, and if needed, develop a room and zone plan

Settings

  • Occupancy control parameters are configured at the room level and apply to all Bluetooth devices in the room.
  • Minimum and maximum dimming boundaries (high and low trim) are set at the zone level and apply to all devices in the zone.
  • Zone assignments and daylighting control parameters (if used) are set at the FMS level and are similar to those for the BT-IFS-A. Refer to the BT APP manual for further instruction on these settings.
  • In addition, daylight settings can be set to “Self” for localized Daylight Harvesting.
  • Instant On is a unique feature of the FMS.

When disabled, the FMS interacts with other elements of the Bluetooth network much like the BT-IFS-A. For example, it will permit manual override to OFF with a BT switch.
When enabled this feature will prioritize the FMS’ local occupancy control over commands coming from the BT network. That is, occupancy detection will force turn ON, even when external commands request turn OFF.

Device compatibility
The instructions in this manual apply to version 1.2 and higher. This version of the BT-FMS-A is part of the Douglas Bluetooth ecosystem and can be integrated into projects using switches and other Douglas BT devices. The version number is provided as the top line of the FMS configuration screen, which is described in the following pages.
Prior versions of the FMS were not suitable for integration with other Douglas BT components and are not addressed in this manual.

Preparation for a system set-up project
System set-up will progress quickly with up-front planning. Creating a plan for how to name and configure each device will save time and provide useful elements for documenting the project at its conclusion. A simple example is outlined in the three figures below.
