Sensor Calibration and Sensitivity
Ambient Light Calibration
Redwood Sensors are shipped calibrated, except for the ambient light Sensor. The ambient
light Sensor has an adjustable dynamic range. You must calibrate it based on the light level of
the space. (Calibration might not be needed if you are not using the daylight harvesting
feature.)
IMPORTANT NOTE
Note that not calibrating only prevents the daylight harvesting feature from working, so
calibration may not be needed in all installations. Stored light Sensor readings may also be
affected.
Before beginning calibration, do the following:
!
To set up for calibration, it is recommended that you finish all other aspects of
commissioning.
!
Turn on all non-Redwood-controlled lights that would usually be on, such as emergency
lights.
!
Set all Redwood-controlled lights to their normal Policy when daylight harvesting is
running.
!
Perform calibration when it is dark outside and there is no significant external light.
!
Determine if a Fixture has already been calibrated by checking its status in the
Maintenance tab.
