Page 29: Configuration Details
Configuration List of Configuration Parameters EasySenseSNS210 MC sensor can be configured using the MasterConnect App. The following parameters can be configured via MasterConnect App for an entire group of lights or a single light. Occupancy mode Field Task Level Field task Level can be tuned to reduce the maximum This feature can be configured to maximize lighting output of a luminaire to a certain percentage of the AOC control behavior with wireless switches. - Page 30 Configuration (continued) List of Configuration Parameters (continued) Hold time It is a configurable timer that begins once occupancy is not detected anymore. Lights continue to be at Eco-on level for a period set as Hold Time, before dimming down to Background Light Level. If occupancy is detected again during Hold Time, the timer stops and automated occupancy cycle re-starts.
