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:

Ÿ

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:

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

1.

new Policy, as seen below.

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

2.

identified in all areas of Redwood Manager.

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

3.

Location’s Fixtures. If the Location has an occupancy Policy, you can also define a minimum
(off) light level with the up arrow.

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

4.

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.
