Commissioning and Administration User Guide

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.

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.

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

motion is detected, select Alarm.

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:

Select the Location and Policy that you want to override.

In the Control tab, .

Adjust the settings.

Set the expiration time and click Finish.

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