Simple, low-voltage sensors
Sensors attach to the addressable dimming ballast directly. A sensor is assigned to one fixture or a group of fixtures and can be re-assigned without any rewiring.

 

Occupancy sensors
Occupancy sensors turn lights off when rooms are empty. When the sensor identifies a space as unoccupied, the occupancy sensor will automatically shut off all of the fixtures to which it is assigned.

Daylight sensors

Daylight sensors detect the presence of daylight in a space and adjust the overhead light levels of its appropriate fixtures accordingly, lowering electric light levels to complement available daylight, and raising them as daylight recedes.
IR receivers
IR (Infrared) receivers with remotes give employees personal control of their overhead light levels in both private offices and open office spaces.

Wallstations

Wallstations can provide switching, dimming, or preset control for private offices, team environments, and conference rooms.

Wireless handheld programmer

The wireless handheld programmer is a PDA-like device that addresses the daylight sensor, occupancy sensor, and wallstation to their respective fixture groups. It helps program how the sensors will function. The wireless programmer also can change the programming for all of the sensors and ballasts on a project without rewiring.

For a lighting system with this level of control, no power packs or interfaces are required. It’s one of the biggest differences between the new generation of fluorescent lighting control systems and less adaptable predecessors.

But the more adaptable new generation offers an office space more than just improved system efficiency. These systems ensure the lighting system installed to fit the floor plan today will fit just as easily tomorrow.
