My exterior lighting does not all respond ON or OFF at the same time. Why is this occurring?
If outdoor integrated sensors are being used, each fixture responds to its own sensor for daylighting commands. While calibration should get
fixture response to daylighting close, there is no way of ensuring that all lighting will respond in the same manner at the same time. If fixture
response seems very disparate, refer on the process on page 82 to recalibrate the sensors.
If WaveLinx Wireless Outdoor Lighting Control Modules are being used, it is possible to have one sensor control daylighting for the fixture
it is mounted on or for a defined group of fixtures. If fixtures are not responding at the same time to daylighting commands, they may be
assigned to different daylight sets. In this circumstance, determine which sensor will be the sensor in control of daylighting and ensure that
it is assigned to a single daylight set controlling all lighting zones in the area. See page 89 for details on defining the daylight set, assigning
the controlled zones, and assigning the sensor.
My wallstation or occupancy sensor does not appear to operate during the day but seems to work at night. Why is this occurring?
Daylighting filters the fixture’s response to other control commands. A command from a wallstation button or occupancy sensor to go to
100% will adjust the electric light level output to meet the calibrated daylight level. A command from a wallstation button or occupancy
sensor to go to 50% will adjust the electric light level to meet 50% of the calibrated daylight level. The actual electric light level output with
these commands will vary based on the available amount of daylight in the space and how much electric light needs to be contributed to
maintain the commanded target. If the electric light has daylight dimmed to OFF, lighting will remain OFF if wallstation, schedule events or
occupancy commands are received, preventing unnecessary energy waste when adequate daylight is present.
I get the message “An advanced schedule has been installed and is working, however, any updates to the schedule must be
managed through Lighting Xpert Insight. Please login to the Lighting Xpert Insight and navigate to schedules to make any
changes.” Why is this message appearing?
For sites using the Insight Manager and Lighting Xpert Insight software, if schedules are administered in the Lighting Xpert Insight software,
the WaveLinx Mobile Application will not allow schedule modification and will display a message box in the scheduling screen. If this occurs,
continue to administer any necessary schedule changes through the Lighting Xpert Insight software.
My schedule event actions do not always appear to run. Why is this occurring?
There are a few items to check if schedule events do not appear to be running. First, check that the schedule event has been correctly
configured AND is enabled. Also, verify that the time in the Wireless Area Controller has been set properly. If these settings appear to be
correct, there are other factors that may affect schedule event operations.
First, if a time schedule event that issues a scene or zone level command is assigned to an area that has occupancy sensors, at the time of
the schedule event, if the area is occupied, the lighting and receptacle loads will go to the commanded levels. If the area is not occupied, the
lighting and receptacle loads will remain at the unoccupied commanded levels.
Second, daylighting filters the fixture’s response to other control commands and may be reducing the light level due to adequate daylight
being present. If daylighting strategies are being used, the actual electric light level output from schedule event commands will vary based
on the available amount of daylight in the space and how much electric light needs to be contributed to maintain the commanded target.
If the electric light has daylight dimmed to OFF, lighting will remain OFF if wallstation, schedule or occupancy commands are received,
preventing unnecessary energy waste when adequate daylight is present.
What will my devices do if they lose communication with the Wireless Area Controller?
A load device will maintain its current command for approximately a 1 hour period (some devices may respond faster). If a device is not able
to communicate with the Wireless Area Controller for more than 1 hour, the device will default back to out-of-the-box behavior described
on page 9. Once communication with the Wireless Area Controller is re-established, the device will begin to operate per the programmed
parameters.
