Manual Calibration

• One or more fixtures is selected.
• Commissioner temporarily disables the daylight and occupancy sensors of all fixtures in close proximity to the selected fixture(s).
• Commissioner sets the selected fixture(s) to 100% light output.
• Using a light meter, the installer manually reads the actual light level at the floor/task level and inputs that measurement into Commissioner.
• The selected fixture(s) dims to 0% light output. The installer re-measures the light level at the floor/task levels and then inputs that reading.
• The installer enters the desired target light level (specified by the customer) for active mode. This is the desired combined amount of illumination from both ambient daylight and from the fixture.
• The installer enters the desired target light level (specified by the customer) for inactive mode. This is also the combined amount of illumination desired.
• The installer enables or disables the Dim to Off feature. When Dim to Off is enabled, the fixture is permitted to turn completely off if there is sufficient daylight to meet the target light level for active mode.
• Commissioner programs the fixture.

1. Pause the LightRules Appliance:
   • In LightRules, select Administration > Shutdown > Stop Network.
   - or -
   • In Commissioner, select File > Connect to LightRules > Pause LightRules > [Select duration] > OK.
2. Select one or more fixtures.
3. Select Edit > Calibrate Daylight Harvesting Manually... from the Commissioner menu.
4. If you are calibrating more than one fixture, select a fixture to calibrate first, and then click Next.
5. Select an option from the dropdown list and then click Disable.
6. Select Light Meter, click the foot-candles or lux radio button as needed, and then click Begin.
7. Stand under the fixture with your laptop. With the fixture at maximum output, take a footcandle (or lux) reading near the floor level.
8. Enter the reading into the Meter at maximum level field and then click Continue.
9. Next, with the fixture at minimum output, take a new reading near the floor level.
10. Enter the reading into the Meter at minimum level field and then click Continue.
11. Based on information from the customer, enter the desired Active target level footcandle (or lux) value. This is the amount of illumination from both ambient daylight and the fixture. Click Continue.
12. Enter the desired Inactive target level footcandle (or lux) value and then click Continue.
13. Use the checkbox to enable or disable the Dim to Off feature.
    

    Note: When Dim to Off is enabled, the fixture is permitted to turn completely off whenever there is sufficient daylight to meet the current target level.

14. Click Next, click Next again, and when programming is complete, click Done.
15. If you are calibrating multiple fixtures, select the option to go back and calibrate the next fixture in the list.
16. Upload the map file containing calibrated fixtures to the LightRules Appliance.

Note: Uploading the map file restarts the network. If it does not automatically restart, select File > Connect to LightRules > Resume LightRules or open LightRules and select Administration > Shutdown > Restart Network.

Though calibration using a light meter is the preferred manual calibration method, it is possible to perform a basic calibration in the event that you do not have a light meter with you:

1. Pause the LightRules Appliance:
   • In LightRules, select Administration > Shutdown > Stop Network.
   - or -
   • In Commissioner, select File > Connect to LightRules > Pause LightRules > [Select duration] > OK.
2. Select one or more fixtures.
3. Select Edit > Calibrate Daylight Harvesting Manually... from the Commissioner menu.

4. If you are calibrating more than one fixture, select a fixture to calibrate first, and then click Next.

5. Select an option from the dropdown list and then click Disable.
6. Select No Meter.
7. Stand under the desired fixture and click Begin.
8. With the fixture at maximum output, use the slider to adjust the active target level of floor illumination, in footcandles or lux.
9. Re-adjust the slider until the desired level is reached, then click Continue.
10. Use the checkbox to enable or disable the Dim to Off feature. When Dim to Off is enabled, the fixture is permitted to turn completely off.
11. With the fixture at minimum output, use the slider to adjust the inactive target level of floor illumination, in footcandles or lux.
12. Re-adjust the slider until the desired level is reached, then click Continue.
13. Click Next, click Next again, and when programming is complete, click Done.
14. If you are calibrating multiple fixtures, select the option to go back and calibrate the next fixture in the list.
15. Upload the map file containing calibrated fixtures to the LightRules Appliance.

Note: Uploading the map file restarts the network. If it does not automatically restart, select File > Connect to LightRules > Resume LightRules or open LightRules and select Administration > Shutdown > Restart Network.
