Powerline Lux Sensors

OVERVIEW / DOO-RT-LUX

The DOO-RT-LUX is a Lux sensing powerline transceiver that allows easy interfacing with DimOnOff Load modules for Dimming ballasts (DOO-R-LMDB-2.5), transmitting light-level adjustment commands over the power lines.

The module features interactive Groups configuration for addressing a virtual group of dimming ballasts, and Luminosity deadband for adjustment of the required variation of light before the Lux sensor sends a new level-adjustment command to the group of ballasts.

The DOO-RT-LUX represents an essential element of the DimOnOff® Building automation series, enabling:

  • Daylight harvesting: automatic adjustment of lighting level according to the conditions of the environment
  • Automatic Control of remote loads (Software Configurable Groups of electronic ballasts) via the powerline transmission of Power-up, shutdown and Ramp-up & Dimming Commands

With these different powerline modules, complex automation environments can be designed and operated.

FEATURES

  • Designed to create flexible, smart automation systems for residential, commercial and industrial lighting
  • Enables Remote control of DimOnOff® Load Modules for Dimming Ballasts (DOO-R-LMDB-2.5), over the power lines, or over the Internet (Specify DOO-Mod-Eth, Powerline-Ethernet modem)
  • Possibility to connect up to 6 Lux meters to the same Powerline Lux sensor electronic module
  • Equipped with leads and mounting bracket for easy installation
  • Responds to On/Off commands, and many programmable Scenarios, Commands and Timers
  • Equipped with leads and mounting bracket for easy installation
  • Reliable powerline communication in high attenuation (0.5Ω min.) and noisy electrical environments
  • UL Pending

APPLICATIONS

PROGRAMMABILITY

The DOO-RT-LUX sensors are configurable modules. Each sensor can be easily programmed in order to implement personalized set-ups. DimOnOff® Inc. has designed a full-featured software platform, for the complete management of a DimOnOff® powerline infrastructure, including:

  • Module configuration
  • Module polling
  • Creation/Editing of the user-defined library of Scenarios - Commands - Groups - Schedules
  • Creation/Editing of Multi-buildings, Multi-floors, Multi-rooms navigation interface and Module layouts
  • Database management
  • Communication management with Remote Powerline-Ethernet modems
  • Data logging
  • Etc.

CAUTIONS AND NOTES

Only used were . 90°C wiring is used.

These devices are intended for installation in accordance with your local electric code and regulations. It is recommended that a qualified electrician perform this installation

WIRING EXAMPLE


INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

  • Disconnect power at the circuit breaker before installation
  • Install the 8 x 8 x 4 DOO-RT-LUX enclosure into the suspended ceiling or in the electrical room.
  • The Dimonoff Lux sensing modules DOO-RT-LUX can be connected to the same fixtures feeding breaker using a octagonal junction box, or connected to the breaker panel.
  • Open the electrical compartment and identify the Line, Neutral and Ground wires. Identify the conductor that supplies power to the load that you want to control.
  • Disconnect the Line wire that had supplied power to the load that you want to control.
  • Connect the white lead of the DOO-RT-LUX together with the supply Neutral wire (N) on the terminal in the 8 x 8 x 4 enclosure.
  • Connect the 0-5 Vdc control wire to the proper terminal inside the 8 x 8 x 4 enclosure,
  • Close the compartment cover and restore power.
