ECO STEP DIM®
ECO STEP DIM® Basic
An electronic controller is fitted in the luminaire to reduce luminous flux and power to a preset value, ex-factory.
Features
- Control phases (L’) such as those that are, for example, used in networks using luminaires with two conventional lamps is required to activate the switch
- One dimming level can be programmed. This is done ex-factory. Luminous flux is reduced from 100 per cent to 55 per cent, and input is reduced to 50 per cent (standard programming). Other dimming levels can also be programmed on request
- Other customer-specific requirements, such as adapting the dimming behavior for the twilight period or gradual dimming can be programmed
- The system can be activated (on/off) via a photocell or timer
- Standard: Positive logic supply phase and control phase = 100 per cent light
- Optional: negative logic supply phase without control phase = 100 per cent light
ECO STEP DIM® ADVANCED
A factory-programmed, multi-step electronic controller is fitted in the luminaire for reducing the luminous flux and input. Features
- No separate power source (control phase) required for dimming control. The luminaire is operated in stand-alone mode
- Five dimming levels can be programmed. This is done ex-factory. The programming is either according to the specification or on the basis of WE-EF experience (standard programming). Subsequent reprogramming is possible on site
- The luminaires are switched on and off via a photocell or timer
ECO STEP DIM® MOTION
The right light at the right place. Eco Step Dim® Motion is a system based on motion data captured by PIR sensors (passive infrared). If no movements are detected, Eco Step Dim® Motion dims the luminaires or groups of luminaires according to a programmed setting, to a lower lighting level, for example 20 per cent.
Eco Step Dim® Motion is a wireless system for controlling street and area lighting luminaires. The motion sensors are usually attached directly to the pole. The luminaires are connected to each other via wireless protocol and are controlled via DALI.
If no presence is detected at a location, the luminaires are automatically dimmed. When a presence is detected, the light level for a given number of luminaires is increased to a predefined level, e.g., 100 per cent. They remain at this level behind the person or persons moving through the area for a predefined period.
The system is easy to configure with an Android app and a Bluetooth dongle on site. The system is bi-directional. All luminaires serve as both master and slave, and control and communicate with each other. After initial configuration, connect only with one luminaire to reach all the luminaires.
Commissioning
Luminaires that are delivered to a project are programmed during commissioning, with both project specific information, e.g., project name and site, as well as default settings for lighting control. The default settings for lighting control enable each luminaire to function correctly from initial installation until the system has been correctly configured.
Default settings/Value
Enable presence sensor, Value: On
Dim light level, Value: 20 %
Max. light level, Value: 100 %
Delay time, Value: 60 sec
Eco Step Dim® Motion is configured on the system side with a 15-digit password, the Eco Step Dim® Motion App and a Bluetooth dongle.
With the Eco Step Dim® Motion light management system, WE-EF provides a 2 stage system to realize a variety of control options.
