Watt Stoper LS-102-U Switching Photosensor (On/Off Swithing Photosensor,ARPA-Compliant)
Description
The LS-102 Daylighting Controller is a single zone,
on/off switching device designed to be installed in
a closed loop application. A self-contained 24 VDC
device with an extended range of 1-1400 footcandles,
the LS-102 requires a low voltage power pack
to operate. The controller consists of an advanced
digital multi-band photosensor, an on-board
microcontroller, and an LCD display. This photosensor
is positioned behind a 100� cone that cuts
off unwanted light, preventing false triggers.
Operation
Setpoints can be selected either automatically
or manually. When ambient light levels exceed
the off setpoint, the controller turns lighting off.
It will turn lighting systems back on when the on
setpoint is triggered. Because of its automatic
calibration feature, many applications require little
or no adjustment of the settings. The LS-102 can
be paired with a low voltage wall switch to enable
manual override, or with an occupancy sensor to
enable its �Hold On While Occupied� feature.
Features
� Easy-to-read LCD display prompts installer
through set-up
� Four user-adjustable parameters: on setpoint,
off setpoint, off setpoint time delay, and �Hold On
While Occupied� Mode (if wired with an occupancy
sensor)
� Test mode overrides programmed time delay,
enabling installer to verify accuracy of settings
� Control load status verification allows testing and
confirmation that wiring is correct
� Form factor designed to eliminate misalignment
� LED status indicator identifies when device is in
override or test mode, or if device has switched
lights on or off
� Mounting options for top- or side-lit applications
� One-hour manual override capability (when wired
with low voltage, pushbutton wall switch)
� Programmable in most daylight conditions
� Qualifies for use on ARRA-funded public works
projects
Automatic Startup/Calibration
The LS-102 features automatic setpoint calculations.
The device initiates a procedure to select
an appropriate value for the on setpoint. As part
of the process, the controlled load is first turned
on for a brief interval to warm up the lamps,
and then switched off. This process is repeated
several times. At the completion of the calibration,
a new value for the on setpoint will have
been selected. Other adjustable settings include
deadband and time delay settings. If desired, the
deadband can be adjusted to a value of 25, 50, 75,
or 100 percent above the setpoint. The time delay
can be adjusted to 3, 10, 20 or 30 minutes.
Applications
The LS-102 Daylighting Controller can be used to
control any type of lighting: incandescent, fluorescent,
compact fluorescent (CFL), HID, and LEDs.
The devices work in peripheral offices, skylit areas,
cafeterias, warehouses and any other indoor area
with natural light contribution.
