Installation Instructions
General Description
The Douglas Lighting Controls Intelligent Fixture™ Controller and Intelligent Fixture™ Sensor are luminaire level lighting controls featuring Bluetooth Wireless Mesh and Bluetooth Beacon technology. The controller and sensor are installed directly into luminaires to enable control, communication and functional coordination with companion fixtures and other components of the Douglas Bluetooth wireless lighting control system.
The Intelligent Fixture™ Sensor includes an occupancy sensor and a photo sensor. The Intelligent Fixture™ Controller has the same form factor but excludes both sensing functions.
Both devices feature dimming and on/off functionality when used with 0-10V LED drivers equipped with DIM-to-OFF capability. Each can control one or two 0-10V channels. These sensors must be powered by an LED driver with an auxiliary power output function or by a local power pack.
The Intelligent Fixture™ Sensor provides both occupancy and photo control functions. Occupancy modes include: Occupancy, Vacancy, Partial OFF, and Partial ON modes.
The devices work within the existing Douglas Lighting Controls Bluetooth wireless ecosystem, which includes: switches, sensors and load controllers.
The device configuration and system set-up are both accomplished using the free Douglas Lighting Controls App (BTCC) on the iTunes App Store.

Specifications
Functionality
General Description
Each device, when installed in a luminaire with a suitable LED driver having
0-10V dimming, Dim-to-OFF capability and an auxiliary power output, performs
the following functions:
- LED status indicator for network status and commissioning. For the Intelligent Fixture™ Sensor, the LED also indicates occupancy detection events.
- ON/OFF control, using the DIM-to-OFF feature of a suitably equipped LED driver
- UP/DOWN dimming control
- On-board Reset (press bezel and hold for 10 seconds)
Intelligent Fixture™ Sensor provides:
- Occupancy Control modes (see table below)
- Primary and Secondary Daylight Harvesting (CLC)
| When occupancy is detected | When time-out occurs | |
|---|---|---|
| Occupancy | Auto ON | Auto OFF |
| Vacancy | Manual ON required | Auto OFF |
| Partial ON | Auto ON to 50% |
Manual ON to 100% required
| Auto OFF
Partial OFF| Auto ON to Zone MAX| Transition to Zone MAX
Power-up Sequences for Non-Networked Devices
Intelligent Fixture™ Sensor & Intelligent Fixture™ Controller:
When initially powered up or if power is cycled, the unassociated sensor will
initiate the following start sequence:
- 3 seconds OFF
- 6 seconds at 100%
- 3 seconds OFF
- 3 seconds at 30%
- Transition to 100%
LED will rapidly blink GREEN to indicate unassociated devices
The power-up sequence will fully test the wiring and functionality of the device. For further occupancy testing, wait 45 seconds for the PIR sensor to warm up and do a motion trigger to start the timer. After 20 minutes, the light will time out to OFF (0%). If the power-up sequence does not ocur, check the wring or if the device is associated. If the device is associated, to remove the association, hold down the bezel button for 10 seconds.
Out-of-Box Functionality for Non-Networked Devices
Intelligent Fixture™ Sensor:
- Occupancy mode (Auto ON/Auto OFF)
- Timeout: 20 minutes
- Local occupancy (independent of other sensors)
- 100% Max output level on both output channels
Intelligent Fixture™ Controller:
- Once it is fully powered, the BT-IFC-A will go to 100%.
Dimensions
Dimensions and markings for the Intelligent Fixture™ Sensor and Intelligent Fixture™ Controller are provided below.
Installation Features
- Mounts into a standard 1/2” electrical knockout
- Push-in connection terminals for #20-#26 AWG solid Copper (twist to remove)

Installation Dimensions
Knock-out Dimensions
CAUTION
DO NOT enclose the lower housing in metal, the antenna is embedded in the face
of the product.
Mounting location on the fixture must take into consideration line of sight
installation in the ceiling grid. Anything that prevents line of sight is
likely to reduce Bluetooth range.
Spacing
Minimum Spacing Requirements:
- A = 0.85 in (21.5 mm)
- B = 1.18 in (30.0 mm)
- C = 1.41 in (35.9 mm)
- D = 0.24 in (6.0 mm)
- E = 1.38 in (35.0 mm)
- F = 0.09 in (2.4 mm)
- M = 0.055 in (1.4mm)
Installation
CAUTION
Risk of Electric Shock. All servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel. To reduce the risks of electric shock disconnect power supplies before servicing.
Installation Advice
- Install the BT-IFS-A in a location where direct light from the fixture does not enter the sensor
- Install the BT-IFS-A vertically with sensor facing directly to the floor or work surface below
- BT-IFC-A may be installed in non-horizontal location. Mounting location on the fixture must take into consideration line of sight installation in the ceiling grid. Anything that prevents line of sight is likely to reduce Bluetooth range.
- Neither device may be installed in a location surrounded by metal; installation in a metallic enclosure will interfere with Bluetooth communications
- Product must be installed in accordance with local electrical codes
Installation Steps
- Refer to Fig. 8.1
- Remove retention ring
- Push sensor through standard ½ inch electrical knockout
- Affix retention ring over device to secure in place

OEM Setup Procedures
Step 1
Inspection: Confirm product ordered matches the product received.
Carefully remove control device from packaging. Inspect housing, wire
connection terminals, and lens (if BT-IFS) for defects. Confirm each device
comes with a silicon retention ring.
Step 2
Mounting: Remove retention ring from control device. Push device through
a standard 1/2” electrical knockout until flush with surface. Slide retention
ring back down the neck of the device until it meets the backside of the
mounting surface. Make sure silicon ring and device are securely sealed and
affixed to the luminaire.
Step 3
Wiring: Insert driver wiring leads into appropriate push-in connection
terminals on back of control device using #20-#26 AWG solid copper wires
stripped to 4mm.
Step 4
Testing: Verify default programming and operation of control device by
providing power to the luminaire and observing the following power-up
sequence:
- 3 seconds OFF (minimum level for non-”dim-to-off” drivers)
- 6 seconds at 100%
- 3 seconds OFF (minimum level for non-”dim-to-off” drivers)
- 3 seconds at 30%
- Transition to 100%
NOTE: BT-IFS out-of-box functionality is local occupancy sensing (100% Auto On/Auto Off) independent of other sensors with 20 minute timeout. BT-IFC out-of-box functionality is 100% ON.
