Features

Output for 1-10 V control of fluorescent light fittings with 

• 

adjustable normal level (high level) and base level (low 

level).

Relay output for driving contactor with adjustable timer 

• 

(0–120 minutes).

Input for presence detector or logic module.

• 

Blocking input. If a light sensor is connected this can 

• 

prevent the lighting from being switched on when there is 

sufficient natural light.

Pushbutton input. If one or more pushbuttons are 

• 

connected (in parallel) the lighting can be switched on/off 

and ramped up or down manually.

SoftDim allows the lighting to be ramped up and down 

• 

gradually. The ramp-up rate is adjustable, but the dimming 

rate is fixed.

The Burn-in button delivers 100 per cent power for 100 

• 

hours

 

The  NV-2T  is  intended  for 

dynamic  lighting  control

  using 

dimmable light fittings with 1-10 V control, in order to reduce the 

lighting time for fluorescent light sources and prolong their life. It 

is used in combination with one or more presence detectors (e.g. 

PD-2200) in areas such as 

corridors

stairways

 and 

garages

See the application examples in this manual, in the “Planning 

Guide”  in  the  “Energy-saving  Detection  Technology”  manual, 

and  at  www.extronic.se,  (also  see  applications  for  NV-2T). 

Dynamic lighting control means that the output (lighting level) is 

increased to the normal lighting level (often 80 per cent) when 

presence  is  detected  in  the  premises.  When  presence  is  no 

longer detected the lighting is reduced to the base level (usually 

the lowest possible, generally 1–2 per cent).

If someone enters the premises again the lighting is ramped up 

to the normal level.

If  the  premises  remain  empty  until  the  timer  in  NV-2T  has 

counted  down  (recommended  setting  1–2  hours)  the  lighting 

is switched  off completely. The reason  why the lighting  is not 

switched off as soon as the premises are empty is that frequent 

switching causes accelerated wear to the fluorescent tubes and 

shortens their lives.

Basic operation

When someone enters the premises, the lighting is 

• 

switched on at the normal level (high level) when presence 

is detected by the presence detector.

When presence is no longer detected, the lights are 

• 

switched to the base level (low level) and the timer starts 

counting down the preset time (0–120 minutes). 

When this time has run out the lighting is switched off 

• 

completely.

When someone enters the premises while the timer is counting 

down, the lighting is switched from the base level to the normal 

level,  and  the  timer  restarts  the  countdown  when  presence 

is  no  longer  detected.  If  someone  enters  the  premises  when 

the lighting has been switched off completely, it is immediately 

switched back on at the normal level.
