UNIT DESCRIPTION

The LMIO-301 photocell input module is an accessory for a 
networked Digital Lighting Management (DLM) installation 
that allows an LMSM segment manager to read ambient 
light levels for use in controlling exterior lighting or interior 
lighting installed in brightly day-lit spaces such as atriums. 
The LMIO-301 works in conjunction with either the LMPO-
200 exterior or LMPS-6000 skylight low voltage photocell 
heads.

OPERATION

The LMIO-301 operates on Class 2 power supplied to a DLM 
local network by one or more room controllers or an LILM 
panel. It transmits light levels over the segment network 
as read from one of the remote analog LMPO or LMPS 
photocell sensors. The LMIO-301 converts the analog signal 
from the photocell sensor to a digital signal that is shared 
across the network. The segment manager controls the 
lighting based on user-defined setpoints and time delay 
settings.

APPLICATION

The LMIO-301 photocell input module is an ideal solution 
for any application where exterior lighting needs to be 
controlled based on actual ambient exterior light levels 
such as parking, site and landscape lighting. Applications 
with large expanses of skylight, clearstory or atrium glazing 
can also benefit from controlling lighting based on ambient 
light entering the building through the glazing. 

When controlling outdoor lighting, the LMPO-200 photocell 
head mounts on the roof of the building facing North. The 
LMPO-200 photocell head is waterproof and has a built in 
hood to shield the lens from direct sunlight.

The LMPS-6000 photocell head is designed for indoor 
applications with direct exposure to extremely high light 
levels as would be present adjacent to the glass in an 
atrium, skylight or clearstory.
