1. The sensor’s foot candle range is set via a jumper switch. Default setting: 30 – 3000 FC (Typical for most applications). If the sensor’s range
needs to be changed, pry cover off using a screwdriver and set jumper switch accordingly. It is recommended that prior to changing the
default setting, first set up the A+ClAss program for Daylighting in the Classroom Control Module (CCM) and verify that a different range
is needed. Refer to CHANGING DAYlIGHT sENsOR sETTINGs below if change is necessary.
2. Apply mounting tape to back of sensor (see Figures 4a, 4b and 4c).

3. Attach sensor to ceiling, wall or skylight. Note: Peak sensitivity is achieved when sensor is placed at a 45 degree angle to window
(see Figure 5). When used with skylight, point sensor (lensed area) up towards daylight rather than down towards room.

4. Plug the 50' Green CAT5 cable into either of the two available Green connector ports on
the Classroom Control Module (see Figure 6).
5. Route the Green cable from the Classroom Control Module to the Daylight sensor.
Note: low voltage wiring must be isolated from line voltage wiring. Consult National
and local Electrical Codes for conduit requirements.
6. Plug the Green cable into the Daylight sensor’s QTI connector (see Figures 7a and 7b).
7. Perform system setup and/or programming activities as applicable in accordance with
the instructions of the Classroom Control Module.
8. Verify Daylight sensor functionality by checking system status/Daylight sensor on the
Classroom Control Module. Real-time foot candle levels will be displayed if operating
properly. If foot candle levels do not change, check connectivity at wiring to CCM,
Daylight sensor and light fixture. Verify A+ClAss lighting products include installed
0-10V dimming ballasts.
9. If desired, to disconnect Daylight sensor from Green CCM cable, press down on the
upper tab on the connection (located on the Green cable side of the QTI connector).
Gently pull the two sides of the QTI connector apart (see Figure 8).
10. The sensor’s foot candle range is set via a jumper switch. Default setting: 3-300 FC
(Typical for most applications). If the sensor’s range needs to be changed, pry cover off
using a screwdriver and set jumper switch accordingly. It is recommended that prior to
changing the default setting, first set up the A+ClAss™ program for Daylighting in the
Classroom Control Module (CCM) and verify that a different range is needed.
