Application Note #480 Glossary Auto-ON ��Setting to adjust how the dimmer responds to initial occupancy of the room. Auto-ON: ALD ��Setting in which the dimmer turns ON upon initial occupancy of the room only if there is not enough ambient light. Based on the user’s interactions with the T button, the Maestro® Sensor Dimmer will learn the user’s preference for when it should turn ON once motion is detected. (Also called Ambient Light Detect mode.

Application Note #480 Maestro® Sensor Dimmer Features in Programming Mode • • • • This Maestro® Sensor Dimmer has features that allow you to customize the unit to achieve your individual needs. The following is an overview of these features: Timeout Sensitivity Auto-ON Occupied Level Note: Programming Mode instructions can be found on pages 6 and 7. Timeout The approximate time in minutes after which the lights will turn OFF after the last motion is detected.
PAGE 5
Application Note #480 Maestro® Sensor Dimmer Features in Programming Mode (continued) • • • • Auto-ON (Occupancy Version only) The automatic functionality of the Maestro® Sensor Dimmer can be adjusted to control how the lights respond upon initial occupancy. There are four available Auto-ON settings: Enabled, Disabled, Ambient Light Detect (ALD), and OFF‑While-Occupied (OWO). The default setting is Enabled. Auto-ON: Enabled: The lights will always turn ON when occupancy is detected.
PAGE 6
Application Note #480 Dimming Features in Advanced Programming Mode1 The Maestro® Sensor Dimmer has features that allow the user to change aspects of the dimming functionality. The features include: Preset Light Level • Set the light level that the lights turn ON to after a single press of the T button.
PAGE 7
Application Note #480 Programming Mode Enter Programming mode to change the settings on your Maestro® Sensor Dimmer. Note: Once a feature is modified, the setting is immediately saved. Enter Programming Mode (see picture at right) 1. Pull the FASSTM toward you into the OFF position. 2. Press and hold the T button of the product you are programming. 3. Push the FASSTM away from you into the ON position while continuing to hold the T button for approximately 5 seconds until IL 1 blinks quickly. 4.

Application Note #480 Advanced Programming Mode (continued) Programming Option 1: Preset Light Level What it Does Presets the dimmer to achieve a certain light level when the T button is pressed. If you prefer that the dimmer retains the same light level every time you turn it ON, choose the Locked Preset. If you prefer that the dimmer returns to the light level previously used when you turn it ON, choose the Unlocked Preset setting.
PAGE 11
Application Note #480 Advanced Programming Mode (continued) Programming Option 1: Preset Light Level (continued) Unlocked Preset Directions To deactivate a Locked Preset setting so that the dimmer will turn on to the light level to which it was last set while in Normal Operation, the Unlocked Preset must be activated. Preset Light Level 1. Enter Preset Light Level Menu: While in APM, press the or button to select the first option, Programming Option 1: Preset Light Level.
PAGE 12
Application Note #480 Advanced Programming Mode (continued) Programming Option 2: Manual Fade ON Time What it Does Controls how quickly the lights will fade up when the dimmer is manually turned ON. If the light controlled by the dimmer is the first or only light that will be turned ON in a particular room, most people prefer to use a faster time so that the room is immediately illuminated. Art lighting or other accent lighting is often more pleasing with a slower fade time.
PAGE 13
Application Note #480 Advanced Programming Mode (continued) Programming Option 3: Manual Fade OFF Time What it Does Controls how quickly the lights will fade down when the dimmer is turned OFF. A slower Manual Fade OFF Time is suggested for rooms the user wishes to exit while the lights still provide illumination. Be aware that the light dimming may not be immediately noticeable for settings of 5 seconds or longer. The Fade OFF Time adjustment applies when the T button is pressedn manually.
PAGE 14
Application Note #480 Advanced Programming Mode (continued) Programming Option 4: Delayed Fade to OFF Time What it Does Controls how quickly/slowly the room lights start the dimming sequence after the T button is pressed. Longer Fade to OFF Times are suggested for use in large rooms where the light control is opposite the exit and immediate dimming is not wanted. Settings The settings included in the dimming sequence are from the time that the room lights begin the Fade to OFF process.
PAGE 15
Application Note #480 Advanced Programming Mode (continued) Programming Option 5: Nightlight Mode What it Does When the Maestro® Sensor Dimmer is turned OFF and the light goes out, the ILs remain ON in a dim glow state, known as Nightlight mode. Disabling Nightlight mode is an energy-saving practice and also allows the dimmer to be compatible with a broader range of CFLs and LEDs. Enabling Nightlight mode provides a soft glow for easy location of the dimmer in a dark room.
PAGE 16
Application Note #480 Advanced Programming Mode (continued) Programming Option 6: Low-End Trim (See Low-End Trim Shortcut below) What it Does Eliminates LED and CFL bulb flickering and strobing when the dimmer is turned ON to the dimmest setting. This feature can also be used to set a personal preference for incandescent or halogen bulbs. Settings Some LED and CFL bulbs require a higher Low-End Trim than others.
PAGE 17
Application Note #480 Advanced Programming Mode (continued) Programming Option 7: High-End Trim What it Does Some lamps require a lower High-End Trim than others. This feature allows the user to determine the maximum light level and adjust the settings accordingly. Lowering the High-End Trim can help save energy. Settings High-End Trim allows the user to choose the brightest achievable light level. Default Setting IL 7: Brightest High-End Directions 1.

Application Note #480 Two-Location Applications Using an Existing Switch Settings An existing 3-way mechanical switch may be used as a second-location control to activate lighting load from either location after a simple rewire. Additional programming is required to work with a mechanical switch and can be found on page 20. If using Companion Dimmer(s) for a 3-way application, additional programming is not required.

Enter 3-way Programming Menu: Press and hold the T button and the button until an IL blinks. 2. Select Desired Device: Press the or button to select an option: T – IL 1: Mechanical Switch IL 4 (Default) – IL 4: Companion Dimmer 3.

Application Note #480 Ambient Light Detection (ALD) How it Works FAQs ALD allows you to maximize the cost savings of lighting by keeping lights OFF when the natural light in a space provides adequate lighting. The Lutron® ALD feature learns your preference as you live with the product in your space. The learning algorithm employs user input to determine when ambient light is not adequate.
PAGE 22
Application Note #480 Troubleshooting Symptom Possible Cause After installation or following a power failure, the lights will turn ON suddenly after the lights have been manually turned OFF. The sensor takes up to 2 minutes to perform a calibration following a power cycle. If the lights are OFF and the calibration completes while the space is occupied, the lights will turn ON. Probable Solution Wait at least 2 minutes for calibration to complete. Refer to the instructions.
PAGE 23
Application Note #480 Troubleshooting (continued) Symptom Possible Cause Probable Solution Lights turn back ON after they are manually turned OFF. Sensor mode is set to Auto ON: Enabled (Occupancy mode). The lights will continue to turn back on 25 seconds after the lights are manually turned OFF if the space is still occupied. Sensor’s timeout is too short for this application. Change the Sensor mode to Auto ON: Disabled (Vacancy mode) or OFF-While-Occupied (OWO) mode.
