CDW12U5 Programmable Connection Centres and 

CDH4U5/CDH8U5 Hard-Wired Intelligent Lighting Control 

Modules support a range of dedicated high-performance 

presence detectors.  Detectors contain a photocell to 

monitor total light levels, allowing the light output of 

dimmable luminaires to be adjusted to suit the natural light 

level available.

The range of detectors for remote mounting encompasses 

both PIR and Microwave technology:

o

MLS2001CDR - 360  PIR presence detection

o

MLS2401CDR - 360  microwave presence detection

MLS2500CDR - directional microwave presence detection 

All contain an infrared port that can be used both for local 

control from a hand-held device when in service and for 

initial commissioning of the CDW12U5/CDH4U5/CDH8U5 

Intelligent LCM system. 

Detectors connect to the LCM via RJ45 patch leads and all 

are SELV devices when properly installed and connected.  

Ready-made patch leads are available in lengths of 3m, 

5m and 10m.  
  

Commissioning

With the CDW12U5 and CDH4U5/CDH8U5 LCM systems, 

all configuration information is held within the Connection 

Centre itself, not the individual detectors.  Most of the 

parameters are set up with the aid of a dedicated 

progamme running on a portable PC which communicates 

with the LCM either by an infrared link, via one of the 

attached detectors, or by a specialised serial link into the 

LCM itself.  

When setting the actual light levels around which dimming 

or switching decisions are made, the system utilises the 

same simple and convenient method as used for Ex-Or’s 

traditional stand-alone detectors.  An infrared programming 

tool (HP2000 or HC5) is used to set the controlling or 

switching set-point for the photocell. The setting is then 

transmitted from the detector to the LCM where it is 

uniquely associated with that particular detector.  The 

setting will be preserved in the event of power failure.   All 

settings can be re-programmed any number of times.  

(See ‘Setting the Regulating Photocell’ and ‘Setting the 

Switching Photocell’ sections of installation instructions for 

details of setting procedure.)
