ZAURA Starters and Virtual Dimming Starters are physically identical; however, they
behave differently depending upon how they are associated. Zilog highly recommends
installing the ZAURA RF Wireless Lighting Control System one room at a time to avoid
possible communication issues during the association process.
Assessing Room Requirements
Before installing and configuring your ZAURA System, you’ll first want to establish
where you will install your ZAURA detectors based on the lighting needs of the room.
Determine Master and Range Extender Locations
Typically, the ZAURA Master is located in the center of a room; however, differing levels
of expected activity in a room should be considered when determining the Master’s even-
tual mounting placement.
For example, a university lecture hall full of students will pose different lighting require-
ments than that same lecture hall when only the professor is occupying the room, grading
papers; i.e., the general seating area will not require lighting but the area surrounding the
professor’s lectern must continue to remain illuminated. By placing the Master closer to
the professor’s lectern, you can ensure maximum sensitivity to the professor’s movement
and reduce the chance that the lights turn off while the professor is alone in the room.
Figures 7 and 8 can help to determine whether installation is sufficiently covered by the
occupancy detection range of a single Master unit. If the situation requires, add Range
Extenders to achieve coverage. When placing multiple Range Extenders, locate the Master
toward the center of the grouping.
