Calibrating and Modifying Light Levels for Closed Loop Daylight Sensors
In the WaveLinx system, standard ambient and industrial fixture integrated sensors as well as tilemount daylight sensors use closed loop
daylighting to directly control the physically connected load. Unlike occupancy sets, closed loop daylight sensors cannot be grouped into a
single daylight set. Each daylight sensor is automatically assigned to a unique daylight set.
Each sensor has default factory settings that provide closed loop daylighting to a reasonable light level. Daylight sensor operation begins
automatically once the fixture containing/connected to the sensor is assigned to an area other than the default construction group.
The default factory settings cannot account for all factors that affect the light level measured at the sensor. The sensor location is not at
the surface but at the ceiling and therefore its reading of reflected light levels is affected by many variables, including mounting height, the
surface height, and the color and reflective properties of the room décor. If a specific light level is expected at the surface, then calibration at
the site is required.
It is recommended to calibrate and adjust the target level of all the sensors within one area at the same time using the mobile application’s
option to calibrate all. In this method, all of the sensors within the space (area) will be calibrated together. A light meter capable of reporting
lux or foot-candles is recommended for this procedure.
Step 1: Open the WaveLinx Mobile Application and establish a connection with the Wireless Area Controller as the administrator user.
Step 2: In the areas list, select the area to calibrate.
