5. To control Fixtures based on motion, select an occupancy mode from the drop-down

menu.

In Standard mode, triggering only one motion sensor turns on the Location’s lights.

In Multi-Sensor Occupancy mode, the Sensor count defines the number of Sensors that

must trigger to activate the lights. Only a single Sensor needs to detect motion to keep the

lights on.

In Vacancy mode, the lights must be turned on manually. Motion does not turn on the

lights, but lack of motion turns them off.

In Follow-Me mode, the timeout settings apply to each Fixture in a Location rather than

the entire Location. Individual Fixtures turn on and off in response to motion, lighting the

space only in areas where people are present. Use this mode in hallways where

overlapping Sensors provide a smooth transition of increasing and decreasing light levels

as a person moves down the hallway.

6. To specify how long the lights remain on after no motion is detected in a space, set the

Timeout period. The Fade In and Fade Out settings define the duration for which the

lights smoothly brighten and dim.

7. To display an alarm message on the dashboard and send an email to the administrator

when motion is detected, select Alarm.

8. Click Finish.

Overriding a Policy

You can override a Policy and have a temporary lighting Policy take effect immediately for a

specified amount of time. When the time has elapsed, the Policy override expires, and the

control of the lighting resumes using the prioritized Events.

You can prioritize Policy overrides like other Events. For example, you could place an

override Event after known important Unscheduled Events, such as an Emergency Event, and

before known Scheduled Events.

To override a Policy temporarily:

1. Select the Location and Policy that you want to override.

2. In the Control tab,

3. Adjust the settings.
4. Set the expiration time and click Finish.

For more information on Control tab settings please please see the Defining Locations section.
