Parameters for brightness sensor

DALI System... -> Configuration of sensor channels -> Sensor channel -> Sensor type: Brightness sensor

Limiting value corresponds to

upper threshold

lower threshold

The limit value is used to define the brightness threshold at which a switching operation is to be triggered. The entered brightness value can be used as the lower or upper brightness value.

 

Upper threshold

10 ... 1000 ... 2000 lux

A switching command is triggered when the upper threshold is exceeded.

Only visible for "Limit value corresponds to upper threshold".

 

Lower threshold (Hysteresis)

-20% ... -10% ... -1%

Based on the upper threshold, the lower switching threshold is calculated using the percentage.

Only visible for "Limit value corresponds to upper threshold".

 

Upper threshold (Hysteresis)

1% ... 10% ... 20%

Based on the lower threshold, the upper switching threshold is calculated using the percentage.

Only visible for "Limit value corresponds to lower threshold".

 

Lower threshold

10 ... 1000 ... 2000 lux

A switching command is triggered when the value falls below the lower threshold.

Only visible for "Limit value corresponds to lower threshold".

 

Function

No function

Switching

Brightness value transmitter

Scene extension unit

This parameter determines the function that is to be triggered when a threshold value is exceeded or undershot.

On exceeding the upper threshold

Switching command

no reaction

OFF

ON

This parameter is used to define the switching command.

This parameter is visible only if the function "Switching" is set.

 

Brightness value transmitter

no reaction

Transmit value

This parameter can be used to prevent the sending of a brightness value with the "no reaction" setting.

This parameter is only visible when the "Brightness value transmitter" function is set.

 

Brightness value

0 ... 100%

This parameter is used to define the brightness value that is sent when the upper threshold is exceeded.

This parameter is only visible when the "Brightness value transmitter" function is set.

 

Scene extension unit

no reaction

Transmit value

This parameter can be used to prevent the sending of a scene number with the setting "no reaction".

This parameter is visible only if the function "Scene extension" is set.

 

Scene number

1, 2 ... 64

This parameter is used to define the scene number that is sent when the upper threshold is exceeded.

This parameter is visible only if the function "Scene extension" is set.

On falling below lower threshold

Switching command

no reaction

OFF

ON

This parameter is used to define the switching command.

This parameter is visible only if the function "Switching" is set.

 

Brightness value transmitter

no reaction

Transmit value

This parameter can be used to prevent the sending of a brightness value with the "no reaction" setting.

This parameter is only visible when the "Brightness value transmitter" function is set.

 

Brightness value

0 ... 100%

This parameter is used to define the brightness value that is sent when the value falls below the lower threshold.

This parameter is only visible when the "Brightness value transmitter" function is set.

 

Scene extension unit

no reaction

Transmit value

This parameter can be used to prevent the sending of a scene number with the setting "no reaction".

This parameter is visible only if the function "Scene extension" is set.

 

Scene number

1 ... 64

This parameter is used to call up a scene with the scene number specified here when the threshold is exceeded/fallen below.

This parameter is visible only if the function "Scene extension" is set.

Transmission behaviour Brightness value

Transmit brightness value

on change and cyclical

on change

cyclical

This parameter defines when the brightness value is sent.

 

On change by

5 ... 20 ... 200 lux

The transmission of the brightness telegrams depends on the change in brightness of the surroundings. This parameter specifies the size of the change.

 

Cycle time

0 ... 2 ... 59 min | 10 ... 30 ... 59 s

Cyclical transmission of the brightness value is active. This parameter specifies the time interval at which the brightness values are sent.

Disabling function

Use disabling function

Checkbox (yes / no)

At this point, the disabling function of the sensor channel can be activated.

If this checkbox is activated, the ETS shows further communication object and parameters.

 

At the beginning of the disabling function

No reaction

OFF

ON

When the disabling function is activated, the function configured here is triggered.

Only applies to the "Switching" function of the sensor channel

 

At the beginning of the disabling function

no reaction

Transmit value

When the disabling function is activated, the function configured here is triggered.

At the end of the lockdown, the status prior to the lockdown is restored.

Only applies to the "Brightness value transmitter" function of the sensor channel

 

At the beginning of the disabling function

no reaction

Send scene number

When the disabling function is activated, the function configured here is triggered.

Only applies to the "scene extension unit" function of the sensor channel

 

Object polarity

0 = enable / 1 = disable

1 = enable / 0 = disable

This parameter defines the value of the disabling object at which the disabling function is active.

At the end of disabling, the last brightness value received from the DALI sensor is analysed according to the configured thresholds. The threshold command is only tracked if the behaviour has not already been executed before disabling.
