Prioritizing Events

Events occur in the order that they are prioritized for each Location. The current Event

priorities for a given Location are seen on the Location Settings tab for the Location. Several

Events can be active at the same time because of scheduling or external signals, but only the

Event with the highest priority applies its lighting Policy. For instance, a regularly scheduled

Event on a Monday can be overridden by a holiday. The unscheduled demand response

Policy takes effect for as long as the corresponding Event is active.

To reorganize Events:

!

In the Location Settings tab, click and drag the higher priority Events toward the top of the

list and lower priority Events toward the bottom of the list.

Policies

The Policy defines what occurs when a particular Event is triggered. As part of the Event

configuration process seen in Section 3.1 you can either select an existing Policy or create a

new one.

To create a Policy from an Event:

1. After clicking the button you will be presented with a dialog box to configure

your new Policy, as seen below.

2. First, give your Policy a Name in the Name field. This will be how this Policy will be

identified in all areas of Redwood Manager.

3. Use the Light Level sliders down arrow to specify the maximum light percentage for the

Location’s Fixtures. If the Location has an occupancy Policy, you can also define a

minimum (off) light level with the up arrow.

4. To save energy and take advantage of natural daylight, select Daylight Harvesting. Set

the light level to which the lights will not go below. However, the lights go off if the

occupancy Policy permits it.

Note: Fixtures must be calibrated to enable daylight harvesting. Single ballast Locations

do not support daylight harvesting.
