Best Practices
When integrating with the WaveLinx LITE system, adhere strictly to design
best practices regarding device quantity, installation locations, and spacing
between devices.
Overview
The outdoor (high and low-mounted) sensors are an integral part of the WaveLinx LITE system and offer passive infrared (PIR) occupancy and a photocell for closed-loop daylight sensing. WaveLinx outdoor sensors offer installation heights up to 40 feet and have coverage patterns up to 5000 square feet (see sensor specifications – field of view). When part of the WaveLinx LITE system, the sensor operates on a wireless mesh network based on IEEE 802.15.1 (Bluetooth® 4.2 Low Energy) standards.
The sensors offer simple tool-less integration into WaveLinx outdoor light fixtures equipped with the 4-pin Zhaga Book 18 compliant socket. Once installed, sensors receive power from their co-located light fixture with no batteries to replace. The sensor in combination with the WaveLinx LITE mobile application allows you to gain considerable energy savings from occupancy and daylight-sensing lighting control. The WaveLinx LITE mobile application allows you to map the sensor to any area or control zone, select occupancy or vacancy, occupied and unoccupied light levels and set the hold time.

For use with outdoor light fixtures equipped with the WaveLinx Zhaga compliant 4-pin socket only.
| Notes
When used as a component in the WaveLinx LITE system, design best practices (including the number of devices, installation locations, device to device spacing, etc. must strictly adhered. High mount models accommodate mounting height to 45ft (13.7m) for major motion (vehicles, fork trucks, etc.) – may not detect minor motion of people depending on conditions.
Optional Accessories
- If the out-of-the-box behavior of the WaveLinx LITE Outdoor Sensor does not satisfy project requirements, download and register the WaveLinx LITE mobile application from either the Google Play or Apple Store®.
- This mobile application can be used to form a local mesh lighting network – creating control zones, occupancy sets, setting occupancy or vacancy modes of operation, configuring daylighting, etc.

SIDE VIEW
Note : False motion detection can occur when objects of contrasting
temperature with the surrounding environment move within the sensor field of
view. Wind blowing leaves, branches, or other objects can trigger the motion
sensor. It is recommended that the sensor be mounted away from these objects.
Note: Air movement at temperature contrasting with the environment may
cause false motion detection. For that reason, it is recommended that the
sensor be mounted 3-4ft away from air vents, when possible.
System Diagram
This diagram shows the main components and topology of the WaveLinx system
with LITE devices. The WaveLinx LITE devices use standardized IEEE 802.15.1
(Bluetooth® 4.2 Low Energy) mesh technology for device-to-device
communications without the requirement of a gateway. The WaveLinx LITE enabled
luminaires provide out-of-the-box functionality for independent operation when
energized. With the use of the WaveLinx LITE mobile application with MyApps
secure cloud portal access, groups of independent luminaires may be created
and maintained with areas, control zones, and occupancy sets.
