NatureConnect link & Interact
1 NatureConnect_Commissioning guide_January 2024

Introduction
The NatureConnect system is based on biophilic design principles, which uses elements of nature and natural analogues in indoor spaces to make people feel happy and healthy. Unlike traditional lighting which focuses on visual benefits, NatureConnect additionally brings the biological and emotional benefits of lighting. It reconnects us with the constant cycles and variations of nature for comfortable, engaging and attractive indoor environments.

Presence sensors helps to reduce the power consumption. They can be programmed in a way that when no occupancy is detected, inside the room, they send the signal to the NatureConnect link, to activate “Day Rhythm low” scene or to turn off the luminaires. When presence is detected it goes automatically to “Day rhythm”.

Problem solving
A Cannot add a switch to a group (PRF)
If it is impossible to make the luminaires react to the switch remove the switch from the configurator and restart the process from the beginning.
Go back to commissioning, step 7.
17 NatureConnect_Commissioning guide_January 2024

B What to do if the color temperature slider is missing
Under certain circumstances it is possible for the NatureConnect link to not be detected as a tunable white device. To fix this it is necessary to remove it from the system and add it again.
Remove NatureConnect link

Reboot NatureConnect link
24V 0.875A

1 Remove power for 10 seconds.
2 Wait 5 minutes until the NC link has fully started be-

• fore continuing.
  3 Go back to step 4: “Find and assign the NatureCon-
  nect link connected with a SNS210”
• During the NC link boot process, the SNS210 looses power temporarily. If this happens during the commissioning processes, you might have to reset the SNS210.

18 NatureConnect_Commissioning guide_January 2024

C What to do when system responds incorrectly to the inputs from the switch
It can happen that the scene is saved incorrectly and that the system does not respond or triggers the wrong light experience when pressing a scene button on the switch.
This typically happens when you do not wait for 5 seconds between changing the color temperature and pressing the create button.
Change the color temperature of the Energize scene to a wrong value on purpose (eg. 6600K) and save.

1 2 Wait 5 seconds, after setting CCT, before clicking on “Save”
3
Change the color temperature of the Energize scene back to correct value (2800K) and save.

Repeat the same steps for Relax scene
