6 OPTIMIZING
CONTROL
39
The real power of a lighting control system is achieved through events and alarms. Events
provide detailed control of your lighting system to ensure that lights are on and properly bright
when they're needed, and off when they're not. Alarms give you detailed insight into how your
system is running and if anything has gone wrong.
6.1 Events
An event is a lighting change that's triggered by a schedule or sensor.
EXAMPLE:
"During the Monday through Friday work week, turn off all building lights
at 7:00PM," or "Dim all parking lot lights to 40% power after midnight."
A sensor event is triggered by physical changes within your installation, such as
someone entering or leaving a room.
EXAMPLE:
"Set the hallway lights to 80% brightness when motion is detected," or
"Turn off hallway lights when no motion has been detected for the past 15 minutes."
Events provide a great deal of flexibility to your lighting operations and can contribute
to significant power savings. The schedule is defined through events and they can be
configured for any time of the day on any day of the week.
Scheduled events are performed from the
Schedule
content area which is accessed
by clicking the
Schedule
button in the left menu bar.
