A D 1 1.1 1.2 Temporary Mounting Methods If you are uncertain about correctly positioning the Sensor, the following temporary mounting and testing procedures are recommended to verify proper performance before permanently installing the Sensor. Temporary Drop Ceiling Mounting Use this procedure if the Sensor will be mounted on a ceiling tile. E Calibration The ceiling tile mounting wire is provided for both temporary and permanent mounting of the Sensor to drop ceilings composed of multiple tiles. It is designed to allow temporary mounting, testing, and repositioning (if necessary) of the Sensor without damaging a ceiling tile. Once the Sensors final position has been chosen, the mounting wire can be twisted to lock the Sensor in place permanently. Remove the mounting bracket from the base of the Sensor. Insert the ceiling tile mounting wire through the two smaller holes in the mounting bracket and replace the mounting bracket. 1.3 Mount Sensor to a ceiling tile by inserting the wire legs through the tile making sure the Sensor is flush to the tile. Note: Do not twist wire legs together. 1.4 1.5 1.6 2 2.1 2.2 Perform the Calibration and Test the Sensor as described in sections E. Calibration and F. Testing the Daylight Sensor. If the Sensor does not perform satisfactorily from this location, it may be moved to another location by pulling the Sensor straight down and repeating steps 1.3 and 1.4. If the Sensors performance is satisfactory, it should be permanently attached to the ceiling tile, as described in section H. Permanent Mounting Methods. Temporary Solid Ceiling Mounting Use this procedure if the Sensor will be mounted on a solid, continuous ceiling surface such as drywall, plaster, concrete, or wood. Two 3M Command adhesive strips are provided for temporarily mounting and testing the Sensor on smooth, solid ceiling surfaces. These strips are designed for easy, damage-free removal and are not reusable. These strips should not be used for permanently mounting the Sensor (see section H. Permanent Mounting Methods ). Carefully follow the removal instructions below to ensure the ceiling is not damaged during removal. NOTE: DO NOT use the adhesive strips on ceiling tiles, as they will likely cause damage to the tile upon removal. Remove the mounting bracket from the base of the Sensor. Peel the red Command Strips liner off of one of the adhesive strips and apply the strip to the flat side of the mounting bracket as shown in the diagram. Press firmly. NOTE: Leave the removal tab exposed past the edge of the bracket so it can be accessed for removal later. 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 2.7 2.8 2.9 Identify a location for the Sensor (see section C. Sensor Placement). Remove the black wall side liner from the adhesive strip. Position the mounting bracket on the ceiling and press firmly for several seconds. Attach the Sensor to the mounting bracket. Perform the Calibration and Test the Sensor as described in section E. Calibration and F. Testing the Daylight Sensor. If the Sensor does not perform satisfactorily from this location, it may be moved to another location by pulling the Sensor straight down and repeating steps 2.1 2.7. If the Sensors performance is satisfactory, it should be permanently attached to the ceiling tile, as described in section H. Permanent Mounting Methods. Removing Temporary Mounting Strip 3 Remove the Sensor from the mounting bracket by pulling downward. 3.1 To remove the bracket from the ceiling, grasp the removal tab on the adhesive strip and pull the tab VERY SLOWLY straight across the ceiling, stretching the strip until the bracket releases from the ceiling. Discard the strip. NEVER pull the strip at an angle, as it may break or damage the ceiling surface. NOTE: Pull very slowly. NOTE: Do not pull at an angle. Calibration must be done when daylight is available but not extremely bright Set Light Level Maestro Wireless Dimmer Adjust each dimmer to a level in order to achieve the desired light level Maestro Wireless Electronic Switch Toggle the lights to on Activate the Calibration procedure by pressing the Cal button on the front of the Sensor for approximately 6 seconds until the lens flashes solid. The LEDs on all associated Dimmers or Electronic Switches should be flashing. Select all Dimmers or Electronic Switches that you want to calibrate by pressing the tap button. Move out of the way of the sensor so as to not interfere with the light measurements. Dimmer or Switch Calibration automatically begins when the LEDs on all associated Dimmers or Electronic Switches stop flashing (approximately 30 seconds after pressing the Cal button). The calibration will automatically turn lights on and off (total time approximately 3 minutes) The calibration is complete once the lights in the room flash three times. The Sensor and selected Dimmers or Electronic Switches automatically enter test mode once calibration is complete. Testing the Daylight Sensor Before testing, ensure power to the lighting circuit is ON and the lighting control system is setup and calibrated properly. G 1 2 3 4 H 1 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 2 2.1 2.2 2.3 Tuning the System Adjust the systems target light level. This can be used to change the entire system, or one zone in the system Activate Tuning mode by pressing the Test button on the front of the Sensor for approximately 6 seconds until the lens turns on solid. Select the Dimmer or Electronic Switch that you want to adjust by pressing the tap button. Change the target light level by pressing the Link or the Cal button on the front of the Sensor. Pressing the Test button returns the settings to the default value. Dimmer or Switch Press Link 1-2 times to:
Make lights dimmer Make lights stay on less Make lights turn off sooner Require less light at the sensor to shut off lights Press Test 1 time to:
Revert back to default Press Cal 1-3 times to:
Make lights brighter Make lights stay on longer Make lights turn off later Require brighter light at sensor to shut off lights Lock your selection and exit Tuning mode by pressing the Test button on the front of the Sensor for 3 seconds. Permanent Mounting Methods Permanent Drop Ceiling Mounting After the Sensor has been temporarily mounted, leave the Sensor in place on the tile and either take the tile down or remove an adjacent tile to gain access to the legs of the mounting wire on the back of the tile. Twist the wire legs together tightly so the mounting bracket remains snug against the tile. Replace the tile. If desired, repeat the wireless communication tests for verification. Permanent Solid Ceiling Mounting Drill one 3/16 in (4.6 mm) pilot hole for the provided screw anchor. Press the anchor into the hole and tap flush with a hammer. Place the flat side of the mounting bracket against the ceiling and install provided screw using a hand screwdriver. 2.4 Attach the Sensor to the mounting bracket. The lighting circuit should be energized only when all wiring is complete and all persons are clear of fixtures/devices. Turn power ON only after checking that it is safe to do so. Activate Test mode by pressing the Test button on the front of the Sensor. The lens will flash indicating that the mode was entered. 2.5 If desired, repeat the wireless communication tests for verification. (See section F. Testing the Daylight Sensor.) Select all Dimmers or Electronic Switches that you want to test by pressing the tap button. Cover the Sensor the system should increase/switch on the lights in the room Dimmer or Switch Shine light on the Sensor the system should decrease/switch off the lights in the room With the lights on, do nothing to the Sensor If the lights in the room cycle on and off, there is too much feedback from the lights consider moving Sensor away from lights or re-calibrate the system (see section E. Calibration). Exit Test mode by pressing the Test button again. 1 2 3 4 5 6 F 1 2 3 4 5 6
