Hangzhou Lmenergysolution Lighting 0-10VDC LMIC Lighting Controller Instruction Manual

LMIC Lighting Controller
The LMenergysolution Lighting Company, Ltd, LMIC Lighting Controller is a Bluetooth-based mesh system for controlling on/off and 0-10VDC dimming of LED products.  The system consists of a Transmitter (which includes an onboard motion sensor) and a Receiver. The Receiver is connected to the light. An optional part of the system is an Ambient  Light Sensor (ALS) that is required if 0-10VDC dimming control is desired. An iPhone app is used to control the LMIC. Each device is a node, nodes form a mesh. The  LMIC is activated when the Transmitter’s motion sensor receives a motion signal which causes the transmitter to calculate an action according to the user’s settings. The Transmitter then transmits the associated action to the Receiver by Bluetooth. The Light Sensor is connected to the Receiver. In this configuration, the Receiver outputs 0-10V control voltage to the light to achieve the set brightness.

Configuring/Provisioning Devices

When power is applied to installed Transmitters (T) and Receivers (R) will initially show up on the Device’s page under the Unconfigured tab.
A device is either a Transmitter (motion sensor) or a Receiver (light controller with ambient sensor).
If power is applied to a Transmitter (T) or Receiver (R), the device will be displayed in the “Unconfigured” tab.
If an installed device is not listed in the Unconfigured tab, check the power connection to the device. If the device is still not listed, a reset of the device is required. See the “Reset Device
Instructions” at the end of this document
To “Configure/Provision” a device, touch the desired T or R to initiate the sequence.
Repeat the action for each device that is needed for the project.

Set Subgroup Parameters

Subgroup name may be edited
Subgroup lights may be turned On and Off
The set value represents the percentage of total available lumens that will be used when power is turned On. The value should be set based on desired footcandles measured in undimmed lights.
The initial Brightness value will be used to determine the percentage of Brightness calculated for Motion Detected, On – Subgroup controls will account for ambient light.  LMIC will hold with 10% of set brightness.
On – Light output is based on Motion Detected, No Motion, and Additional Time set parameters.
When no motion is detected within the set time, the LMIC will calculate light output based on the Initial Brightness setting multiplied by the No Motion Detected Brightness and ambient light.
Example – 50% x 100% = 50% will be the brightness. Brightness will be adjusted based on ambient light.
When no motion is detected within the set time, the LMIC will calculate light output based on the Initial Brightness setting multiplied by the No Motion Detected Brightness and ambient light.
Example – 50% x 100% = 50% will be the brightness. Brightness will be adjusted based on ambient light.
When the No Motion Detected time is expired, the LMIC will calculate light output based on the Initial Brightness setting multiplied by the Additional Time Brightness and ambient light.
Example – 38% x 80% = 30.4% will be the brightness. Brightness will be adjusted based on ambient light.
Motion Sensor Sensitivity – Low + __, Medium = _____
and High = __

Set Device Parameters

Set Device Parameters – Transmitter with Motion Sensor

Subgroup setting are mirrored in all devices. Changing a device setting will only affect the individual device, not the entire subgroup. If there is only Transmitter in the subgroup,  a change will affect all devices.
The device name may be edited On-Light output is based on Motion Detected, No Motion, and Additional Time set parameters.
When motion is detected, the LMIC will calculate light output based on the Initial Brightness setting on the Set Subgroup page, multiplied by the Motion Detected Brightness and ambient light.
When no motion is detected within the set time, the LMIC will calculate light output based on the Initial Brightness setting multiplied by the No Motion Detected Brightness and ambient light.
Example – 50% x 100% = 50% will be the brightness. Brightness will be adjusted based on ambient light.
When the No Motion Detected time is expired, the LMIC will calculate light output based on the Initial Brightness setting multiplied by the Additional Time Brightness and ambient light.
Example – 25% x 100% = 25% will be the brightness. Brightness will be adjusted based on ambient light.
Motion Sensor Sensitivity – Low + __, Medium =
_____ and High = __

Set Device Parameters – Receiver (with Optional Timer Settings)

• The device name can be edited.
•  Switch – Lights can be turned on and off.
• Brightness – Overrides Subgroup parameter. Set device light level as a percentage of available lumens/watts.
• Ambient Sensor – Overrides Subgroup parameters. Set brightness is maintained when ambient light changes
• On/Off Timer – This allows for up to 10 On or Off parameters to be set for a 24-hour period. Each On/Off parameter may have a different Brightness setting. Applies to
  the individual devices.

If the ambient light sensor off is selected, the brightness percentage only indicates that the brightness opening of the light is independent of the ambient light.
When the ambient light sensor is selected, the brightness accuracy will be kept at ± 10% LX.
Each time the power is turned on to a Receiver, the R will self-calibrate for about 25 seconds. It is suggested that after setting the Subgroup parameters, turn on all the light switches in the Subgroup at the same time, to calibrate the lights in one or more rooms together. It is important that there be no motion or light lever changes in the area during the calibration. Motion or light level changes may adversely affect the accuracy of the calibration.
The calibration process is to run the dimming light from the brightest to the darkest. If the light received by the equipment does not change, the non- dimming light control program will be automatically executed. Therefore, it is recommended that the dimming light and the non-dimming light should not be installed in a mixed way, which will cause control confusion. Of course, dimming and non-dimming can be calibrated separately, or a single light can be calibrated once, which takes a long time.
