Overview

The Photo Sensor (TAP-31) and CCT & Photo Sensor (TAP-41) are wireless
solar-powered sensors that provide a reliable and simple method for
increasing energy savings by adding daylight harvesting capability to an
Echoflex lighting control system.

The TAP-31 supports two equipment
profile settings that measure ambient light
intensity in two ranges: 0–1,020 lux
(0–95 fc) and 0–65,535 lux (0–6,090 fc).

The TAP-41 combines correlated color
temperature (CCT) and light intensity
monitoring to match fixture output with
outdoor values or predefined color
temperature values. The sensor supports
four equipment profile settings that
monitor exterior light levels up to
100,000 lux (9,290 fc) and a color
temperature range of 2,000–7,500 kelvin to maximize the lighting
adjustment for a tunable white LED fixture throughout the day.

This document covers installation, testing, and settings that apply to all
TAP-31 and TAP-41 models. The product package includes the sensor and
two wire staples.

Prepare for Installation

To ensure optimal function, consider the installation environment and the
following guidelines:

For indoor use only. Operating temperature -25°C to 65°C
(-13°F to 149°F), 5%–92% relative humidity (non-condensing).

High density construction materials and large metal appliances or
fixtures in the space may disrupt wireless transmissions.

Install the sensor within range of linked receivers or controllers,
24 m (80 ft) unobstructed view. Consider adding a repeater to
extend the wireless signal, if required.

Before linking the sensor, expose it to a good light source for at least
five minutes at 200 lux (19 fc).

Supplies required to install (not provided):

Two #6 screws, double-sided tape, or Velcro
