If it is desired to operate the lighting without any automatic photocell based
control over the dimming process, (e.g. only manual control of dimming, by
OneSwitch, and/or scene setting by HC5 Infrared Hand-held Controller is
required) then the default values of 1023 should be retained in the parameters
Set-point Low and Set-point High.
Programming the Regulating level: Place a light meter on the working
plane underneath the presence detector with photocell. Adjust the light output
of the luminaire up or down manually by infrared. (On the HP2000, select
"UTILITIES" from the Main Menu and then "SET LIGHT LEVEL" from the
UTILITIES Menu. The up and down Arrow keys allow adjustment of the light
level up and down whilst pointing the handset at the presence detector with
photocell.) When the light meter reads the desired level, press and hold the
central "OK" button until the lights "blink" to acknowledge that the
photocellreading has been stored in the Set-point Low parameter. This is the
control set-point for the regulating process which tries to maintain this
photocell reading at all times by dimming or brightening the lights.
Switching the Lighting Load:
In addition to dimming the lighting load via the 1-10V output, the load can also
be controlled by the relay according to natuiral light level.This form of control
is governed by the setting of the parameter PCELL RLY. There are three
options for this parameter:-
DISABLED: In his mode the photocell has no effect upon the operation of the
relay - it will switch only according to detected occupancy.
PASSIVE: In this mode the relay will be inhibited from closing if the area is
entered when the ambient light level is above Set-point Low. If during the
period of occupancy, the light level falls below Set-point Low, then the lights
will switch on. In this mode the lights will never switch off during a period of
occupancy - no matter how bright it becomes.
ACTIVE: This is the same as PASSIVE mode except that, additionally, the
lights will switch off if the light level exceeds Set-point High even if the area is
occupied. For the switch-off to occur, the light level must persist at this high
level for the full duration of what is called a "Passing Cloud Timer" (PCT). The
PCT is usually of the same duration as the Off-delay used by the Presence
Detection logic; however when an unusually long Off-delay is configured the
PCT is automatically capped at 20 minutes. If the light level falls below Set-
point Low during a period of occupancy, then the lights are switched on
immediately without any delay.

Programming the Set-points:
1)Simple PCELL RLY Switching Control:
i) If PCELL RLY-ACTIVE switching action is required it is important that the
lights are switched on at least 15 minutes before this procedure is undertaken
to allow the tubes to reach full output. For PCELL RLY-PASSIVE switching
action this is not necessary.
ii) Download the settings already established within the Detector for non-
Photocell related features to the HP2000. Edit the Photocell setting to ACTIVE
or PASSIVE as required. Upload the whole configuration to Detector.
iii)Wait until the appropriate time of day for, or use blinds to create, the natural
light level, as measured with a light meter, below which you would want the
lights to be on and above which you would not want the lights to be on.
iv) Start the internal self-programming operation by selecting UTILITIES/SET
LIGHT LEVEL on the HP2000 and pressing and holding the "OK" button. The
Detector takes a Photocell reading, adds a small margin and stores the
resulting value as Set-point High. It then switches off the controlled lights and
takes another Photocell reading which it stores as Set-point Low. The lights are
now switched on again, completing the acknowledgement "blink". The OK
button can now be released. Note that the difference between the two Set-point
values, the Switching Hysteresis, is equal to the contribution to total light made
by the controlled luminaires. This is the ideal amount of hysteresis to prevent
oscillation without compromising control accuracy.

2) Regulating Control overlaid by PCELL RLY Switching Control
First carry out the commissioning procedure described for Regulating Only
control (under Photocell Commissioning). When the Regulating Only
commissioning procedure has been carried out the HP2000 parameter Set-
point Low within the Detector has acquired a new, non-default value. This value
should be read in a full download from the Detector to the HP2000 and kept.
The Set-point High value should now be manually edited on the HP2000
screen to be about 25% higher in the same units, e.g. if a download from the
Detector to the HP2000 shows that 429 has been automatically stored into the
Set-point Low parameter, then the Set-point High value should be manually
edited to 535 or 536. The PCELL RLY action should be set to "ACTIVE" or
"PASSIVE", as required, and the whole configuration then uploaded to the
Detector.
User Overrides
The end-user can configure a number of lighting scenes that can be recalled
using a hand-held override. With an HC5 hand-held controller lighting can be
overridden OFF or ON, or a set level can be chosen, affecting either the
controlled group or, with an MLS system, the whole zone. Regulating and
switched loads can be adjusted independently through a combination of
OneSwitch Dimming and the HC5 Hand-held Controller.
