1. Illumination
1.1 Display of Current Illumination
After power-up (batteries are inserted), the LCD screen displays the current
illumination. All icons are displayed with LCD backlight illuminates 3 seconds.
Press any key will beep once and extend the backlight for another 12 seconds.
The illumination
detecting range
is from
0
to
3000
LUX. When illumination
reaches the limit (3000 LUX),
MAX
icon will be displayed on the screen.
The detecting function is disabled while you are operating the sensor. Wait for 12
seconds to enable trigger-ON or trigger-OFF function. If trigger-ON or trigger-OFF
value has already been set, detecting function will be enabled 10 seconds after
sensor is re-powered.
1.2 Lux Trigger-ON
Press
and select MODE 2 to enter setting of lux trigger-ON. Icon
flashes and the screen shows the recorded trigger-ON lux. If no value is preset, the
screen will display “
- - -
LUX
”.
To adjust trigger-ON value, press and hold
for 5 seconds until a long beep is
sounded. The “
- - -
” starts flashing. Use
▲
and
▼
button to adjust the lux value,
and hold
▲
or
▼
button to scan through the lux reading from 30 to 1000 (the lux
value can only be adjusted on the basis of 10 LUX per unit; the default value is 300
LUX). Once the value is selected, press
to confirm setting or press
ESC/
to cancel.
To clear the trigger-ON record, press both
▲
and
▼
at the same time. The
record is cleared after a long beep is sounded.
If lux of ambient light is lower than the preset trigger-ON value, Illumination Sensor
will emit RF signal to the nodes of Grouping 2. The screen of sensor will return to
MODE 1 and the icon
is flashing with backlight illuminates and 4 continuous
beeps sound for 1 second. Press any key to stop the beep tone.
To avoid the problem of consecutive triggering, once Illumination Sensor has been
triggered, it has to be placed still for 2 minutes (restriction) before lux trigger-ON is
enabled again. To clear this restriction, the detected lux value of ambient light
during this two-minute period MUST be higher than the preset trigger-ON value,
otherwise the sensor will keep recounting 2 minutes before it can be triggered again
