.
1. Select the type of light sensor from the
Type
drop-down menu. The default light sensor is
CAN
(Controlled Area Network).
• CAN
– A controller area network-
based sensor that returns light intensity
readings
• CAN LUX
– A controller area network-
based sensor that returns light intensity
readings in LUX units
• CAN Multi Direction
– A controller area
network-based sensor that returns light intensity readings or LUX unit light readings
from several directions
2.
Enter the sensor’s configured address in the
Address
field.
3. Select the connection type from the
