What’s new

Describes new functionality more detailed in reverse chronological order.

Release May 2021

Commissioning of generation 2 lights (with Bluetooth) is described in the installation guide. This section describes functionality applicable to all systems in the field and new ones.

Multi-sensor occupancy handled on group level

The handling of occupancy messages from a multi-sensor is now on group level rather then zone level for lights without built-in sensor.

The system parameters to work with for setting up lighting control:

  • A maximum of 30 sensors can be used in a project on a grand total of 50 ZGP devices (sensors plus switches).

  • A maximum of 5 ZGP devices (sensors and switches) can be used per group.

  • To set up daylight regulation in a zone, you need to add one multi-sensor to that zone.

    • Occupancy detection in larger zones needs to be complemented with regular occupancy sensors.

  • Recommended amount of lights in a group is a maximum of 40.

The control capabilities of the occupancy only sensor (OCC) and multi sensor (OCC-DL) are as follows:

  • Occupancy is now handled consistently on group level both for OCC and OCC-DL sensors

  • Daylight regulation works on zone level

OCC-DL and OCC sensors need to be installed such that the detection areas of all these sensors cover the detection needs for occupancy in the group and that the OCC-DL sensor(s) - one per zone - can be used for daylight regulation.

Example: large office with one daylight regulated zone requiring 4 sensors

Below is the layout of a large office where daylight regulation is desired for the lights near the window. The size of the office requires 4 sensors to have occupancy detection across the whole office.

To commission this:

  • Create a group

  • Create a zone within this group

  • Add the 8 lights near the window to the zone

  • Add the other 8 lights to the group

  • Add the multi-sensor to the zone

  • Add the 3 occupancy sensors to the group

  • Set the behavior for this group as desired.

  • Calibrate the daylight regulation of the zone.

The visual above may give the impression that one of the occupancy sensors resides in the zone but the picture is just a view of how all devices could be positioned - the sensor is actually added to the group.

Example: large office with two daylight regulated zones requiring 4 sensors

Below is same layout but with two daylight regulated zones rather than one.

image

  • Create a group

  • Create two zones within this group

  • Add the 8 lights near the window to one zone

  • Add the other 8 lights to the other zone

  • Add one multi-sensor to each zone

  • Add 2 occupancy sensors to the group

  • Set the behavior for this group as desired.

  • Calibrate the daylight regulation of each zone.

Example: Small office with one multi-sensor

Below is the layout of a small office where daylight regulation is required and that needs only one sensor to cover occupancy detection needs.

To commission this:

  • Create a group

  • Create a zone within this group

  • Add all 4 lights to the zone

  • Add the multi-sensor to the zone

  • Set the behavior for this group as desired.

Note this example also worked before releasing this feature as all the lights of the group are residing in the same zone.
