nLIGHT ENABLED DIGITAL 

LUMINAIRE

 

PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS

2  LUMEN COMPENSATION

 

An algorithm that tracks the LED luminaire’s 

runtime and manages its light output to 

maintain constant lumen output over the 

system life.

3  IDLE TIME UNTIL DIM

 

The length of time after last detected occupancy 

that the luminaire will reduce lighting level to  

Unoccupied Dim Level

 setting.

5  SWITCH TRACKING CHANNEL

 

The channel on which the luminaire receives 

switch information.

6  FOLLOW PHOTOCELL MODE

  Directs the luminaire relative to a dimming 

photocell in its zone.

7  SECONDARY ZONE DIMMING OFFSET

 

Percentage difference of unit’s dimming level 

from its connected zone’s primary dimming 

level (Function 6 must be enabled).

8  WALLPOD DIMMING ADJUSTMENTS

 

Defines whether user dimming adjustments 

are maintained after lights are cycled, whether 

they revert to preset levels, or whether they 

temporarily disable a connected dimming 

photocell (until lights cycle).

A-LEVEL FUNCTION DEFINITIONS  _______________________________

9  RESTORE FACTORY DEFAULTS

 

Returns all functions to original settings.

19  DIMMING RATE

 

The elapsed time over which changes to 

dimming levels initiated via global or local 

profile scenes are implemented. Note: 

dimming level changes initiated via global 

or local preset scenes are always immediate.

23 

OCCUPIED BRIGHT LEVEL    

The percentage of the controllable dimming 

range up to which lights will rise when 

occupancy is detected or the luminaire is 

overridden on. Adjusting the dim level using 

a WallPod changes this setting. When set at 

100%, light level will match

 High End Trim 

level. See function B31.

24  UNOCCUPIED DIM LEVEL

  The percentage of controllable dimming 

range to which lights manually or 

automatically dim to, once the 

Idle Time 

Until Dim

 timer expires. When set at 1%, 

light level will match 

Low End Trim

 level. See 

function B32.

 

B-LEVEL FUNCTION DEFINITIONS  __________________________________________

1  NAME UNIT w/ NUMBER 

 

Applies a number to the default name visible in SensorView (useful during commisioning)

2  MANUAL ON (SEMI-AUTO) GRACE PERIOD

 

 

When in Manual On (Semi-Auto) mode (Function B-18), the time period after lights are automatically turned 

off that they can be reactivated with movement

3  PREDICTIVE EXIT TIME 

(valid for 

Predictive Off

 mode only)

 

The time period after manually switching lights off for the occupant to leave the space 

4  PREDICTIVE GRACE TIME 

(valid for 

Predictive Off

 mode only)

 

The time period after the Predictive Exit Time that the sensor rescans the room for remaining occupants 

11  OCCUPANCY TRACKING

 

Indicates whether luminaire will react to occupancy information

12  OCCUPANCY TRACKING CHANNEL

 

The channel on which luminaire receives occupancy information

13  PHOTOCELL TRACKING

 

Indicates whether luminaire will react to photocell information

14  PHOTOCELL TRACKING CHANNEL

 

The channel on which luminaire receives photocell information

15  SWITCH TRACKING

 

Indicates whether luminaire will react to switch information

17  FORCED OVERRIDE

 

Indicates whether luminaire is forced to max level or off

18  SPECIAL OPERATING MODE

 

Unique defined behaviors of luminaire:

 NORMAL

 

Operating Mode where occupancy sensors are capable of turning lights both on/off

 

SEMI-AUTO (MANUAL ON)

 

Special Mode

 that requires the occupant to manually turn the lights on, while having them turn off 

automatically by a sensor

 

AUTO TO OVERRIDE ON

 

Special Mode

 where lights are turned on initially by occupant detection but remain in the 

Override On

 state 

 

MANUAL ON TO FULL AUTO

 

Special Mode 

that initially requires the occupant to manually turn on the lights, after which the sensor 

assumes full on/off control

 

PREDICTIVE OFF

 

When lights are switched off, sensor determines whether occupants remain or left the room, so as to leave the 

lights in either the 

Override Off 

or 

Auto On

 state

 

MANUAL TO TIMED OVERRIDE ON

 

Special Mode

 where lights are initially turned on manually but remain in the 

Override On

 state for a pre-

determined period (

Timed Override Delay

 

MANUAL TO NORMAL

 

Special Mode

 where lights are initially turned on manually but remain in the 

Normal State 

(enabling auto-

dimming) for a pre-determined period (

Timed Override Delay

22  MAINTAIN DIM LEVEL WHEN VACANT

 

Prevents lights from turning fully off once in unoccupied state

23  SPECIAL SWITCH TRACKING MODE

 

Defines unique behavior related to how luminaire responds to particular switch information. 

29 OCCUPANCY EXPIRATION of MANUAL OFF

 

When enabled, operation of device will revert from a push-button triggered override off state to Normal mode 

once the 

Occupancy Time Delay

 (adjustable via SensorView or push-button) expires. Not used with Manual On 

operating modes.

30  TIMED EXPIRATION of MANUAL OFF

 

When enabled, operation of device will revert from a push-button triggered override off state to Normal mode 

once the 

Timed Override Delay

 (adjustable via SensorView) expires. Not used with Manual On operating 

modes.

31  HIGH END TRIM

 

Maximum voltage level of the device’s dimming output. Commonly used for task tuning where absolute light 

level is not to be increased via a Wallpod or scene. When output is at high end trim, the reported control 

percentage will be 100%. Corresponding lumen output % is dependent on ballast/driver capabilities. 

Raising 

setting above factory default is not recommended as default is optimized to driver control range.

 

32 LOW END TRIM

 

Minimum voltage level of the device’s active dimming range. Level can not be reduced via a WallPod or 

scene. Note, voltage level may go below this level when device is given an OFF command (for example when 

controlling LED drivers with sleep mode).  When output is at low end trim, the reported control percentage 

will be 1%. Corresponding lumen output % is dependent on ballast/driver capabilities. 

Lowering setting below 

factory default is not recommended as default is optimized to driver control range.

 

PLEASE READ ALL 4 STEPS BEFORE PROGRAMMING

1.  Enter A-Level programming mode by pressing button the number of times as the desired function number 

from 

A-Level Detailed Function Tables

 below (e.g., press 5 times for function 5, 

Switch Tracking Channel

).

 

2.  The selected function’s current setting is indicated via LED flashes (e.g., 2 flashes for 

Switch Tracking - Channel 

2

). To change, proceed to step 3 before it repeats 3 times.

 

3.  While the sensor flashes back current setting, press the button the number of times for the new desired 

setting as indicated in the detailed table (e.g., press 3 times for 

Switch Tracking - Channel 3

). Sensor flashes 

new setting as confirmation.

 

4.  Programming mode exits automatically when setting sequence flashes back 3 times without interruption.
