SET SCENES
When a new DALI luminaire is purchased the internal ballast has no scene information programmed. The Newlec DALI Occupancy
Detector can configure a basic set of scenes into the ballasts of luminaires that have been setup using the ‘Add group to pre-addressed
luminaires’ function. Basic scene setup consists of sixteen scenes, that range in brightness from minimum to maximum illumination.
All luminaires on the network with the Occupancy Detector set group will have their ballast updated with the basic scene set.
Setting scenes on the Occupancy Detector will give a basic 16 stepped levels of brightness. When replacing another manufacturers
DALI Occupancy Detector with a Newlec DALI Occupancy Detector it is essential that the group number is known and set via the dip
switches first. If you want to keep pre-programmed previous scene information then DO NOT follow ‘Set Scenes‘ below.
1. You must turn lights off first with the remote to operate and program in this mode. To do this, point the remote control at
the Newlec DALI Occupancy Detector & press the override off button. While in override off the Occupancy Detector LED
flashes white.
2. Set the Dipswitch with the group number you wish to use for the Occupancy Detector.
3. Set the remote control to installer by pressing the hidden installer button inside the battery compartment, the remote control LED
illuminates red.
4. Point the remote control at the Occupancy Detector & press button ‘3‘ at the bottom of the remote control while the remote LED
is red. The Occupancy Detector will now flash green 16 times per ballast and give a blue flash when scene set is complete.
This process repeats until all ballasts in the group are set with scenes.
WALK TEST
Walk test can be used to test and setup the Newlec DALI Occupancy Detector sensitivity by moving in & out of the Occupancy
Detector detection range. The signal LED on the Occupancy Detector indicates presence by flashing blue and can be used as a basic
walk test. During walk test detection the luminaires will be illuminated to full brightness then after 10 seconds with no presence
detected the luminaires will dim but not go off.
To put the Newlec DALI Occupancy Detector into walk test:
1. You must turn lights OFF using the remote first to operate and program in this mode. To do this, point the remote control at
the Newlec DALI Occupancy Detector & press the override off button. While in override off the Occupancy Detector LED
flashes white.
2. Set the remote control to installer mode by pressing the hidden installer button inside the battery compartment, the remote
control LED illuminates red.
3. Point the remote control at the Occupancy Detector & press the ‘Set‘ button, this will initiate luminaire walk test mode.
4. The LED on the Occupancy Detector will be illuminated blue while presence is detected and the luminaires will be set to full
brightness. The Occupancy Detector will also flash red and green to indicate Walk test mode is initiated.
5. Leaving the Occupancy Detector detection zone for more than 10 seconds is indicated by the luminaires being dimmed & the
LED on the detector being extinguished.
Walk test mode will be exited after 10 minutes or by pointing the remote at the Newlec DALI Occupancy Detector and pressing any
remote control button. When the walk test is completed point the remote at the Occupancy Detector & press the override off button to
return to normal. The remote control will automatically exit install mode after approximately 2 minutes from the last button press or
can be taken out of installer mode immediately by re-pressing the hidden installer button.
STAIRWELLS
An additional feature of the Corridor Mode option makes it possible to have more than one group switched by a DALI Occupancy
Detector. This means that luminaires in the current group or floor can be selected as well as other floors in the stairwell. Simply see
the ‘Add group to pre-addressed luminaires’ and select YES for every luminaire you wish to be controlled in the stairwell. This flexibility
allows you to maximise energy savings in stairwells.
