Calibrating and Modifying Light Levels for Exterior Closed Loop Daylight Sensors
In the WaveLinx system, outdoor fixture integrated sensors use closed loop daylighting to directly control the physically connected load. 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 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 fixture and therefore its reading of reflected light levels is affected by many variables, including the mounting height and
the reflective properties of the surface. If a specific daylighting behavior is expected, then calibration at the site is required.
If calibration is necessary, 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.
Once calibrated, when the measured light level exceeds 150% of the calibrated light level for more than 30 minutes, the sensor will turn
lighting OFF. When the measured light level is less than 50% of the calibrated light level for more than 10 minutes, the sensor will turn
lighting ON.
ote:N Before beginning the calibration process, for best accuracy, ensure that the outdoor light level is at the level where lighting should be turning
ON or OFF. For outdoor application, this is typically either at dusk when the lighting should be turning ON or at dawn when the lighting should be
turning OFF.
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.
