Naming Fixtures
Each Fixture is identified by a Name and a set of data that is determined by the
Gateway/Adapter that is connected to the Fixture. When commissioning the system you can
edit the Name of the Fixture to be something more meaningful to the end-user than the
default value which is the ID of the Gateway/Adapter.
You can use different methods to name Fixtures:
! Record the Gateway/Adapter serial number, manually find that serial number represented
as the Fixture Name and then rename it using the button.
! Dim each light, note the Location, and then rename it using the button.
! Blink a Fixture, determine which Location it is in and then rename it using the button.
! Use the Flashlight Naming wizard.
The most efficient and quickest method is flashlight naming.
Flashlight Naming of Fixtures
Flashlight Naming of Locations leverages the fact that each Sensor/Adapter has a light-level
sensor that will pick-up on changes of light in a given Location. You can identify and
automatically name any installed Fixture by simply shining a flashlight at the exposed Sensor
associated with that Fixture. In practice, this means you can walk into a room with unnamed
Fixtures and quickly name each without having to know anything more about the Fixture or its
Gateway/Adapter.
To name Fixtures using a flashlight:
1. In the Location Editor tab, create a Location named Flashlight as a child of All Locations.
2. Drag and drop the Fixtures you want to name to the Flashlight Location.
3. Click the Flashlight Commissioning button found at the bottom center of the screen.
- Note: If there are unsaved changes, the Flashlight Commissioning button is disabled.
Click the Apply button to apply the changes and then continue.
4. In the Flashlight Commissioning panel, assign a name and index to identify the Fixtures in
a particular Location. For example, if the Fixture Name Prefix is RoomA, and the Starting
Index is 1, the first commissioned Fixture is named RoomA001, the next is RoomA002,
and so on.
5. (Optional) Assign a light level to the Fixtures from the Location is drop-down menu. The
default is Normally Lit.
! You might need to change the light level to match the current light level in the Location if
high-ambient light causes a Fixture to think it “sees” the flashlight before commissioning
begins.
! Fixtures that are not ready for commissioning because of high-ambient light have a red
dot next to the Fixture’s icon.
! If Fixtures are not ready, change the Location is setting to match the current light level in
the Location. For example, you can choose from Bright, Normally Lit, Dim, and Dark
! When the Fixtures are ready, move on to Start Flashlight Commissioning.
