Microwave settings are used when there is a Microwave sensor in the Wireless Radio system. It can be an integrated sensor like the CMW-sen. In this article we will show you how to set and adjust a Microwave sensor to work properly in a set environment.
There are three microvave settings you can adjust:
MODE - this setting manages short spikes of interference by limiting the sensor’s response to sudden, brief disturbances. It’s particularly useful in environments where such transient interference is common, as it helps in maintaining accurate detection without overreacting to minor disturbances.
Mode 0 Microwave Disabled.
Mode 1 Microwave Enabled (most sensitive) – Inhibit on RF Transmit and Inhibit on DALI.
Mode 2 The same as Mode 1, but also Inhibit on Receive. Might reduce sensitivity in sites with lots of devices sending lots of RF messages.
Mode 3 Cap the Rise Steps – Useful when there are short spikes of interference.
TRIGERS - this setting decides after what amount of time activity before it’s triggered. Even though we have specific timings before a triggering occurs, the trigger period is dynamic in nature, due to the fact that it is dependant on other parameters
Triggers 0 50mS before triggering
Triggers 1 200mS before triggering
Triggers 2 350mS before triggering
Triggers 3 500mS before triggering.
SENSITIVITY - this setting decides on how the microwave will react to small movements, further away from the detector. This setting has settings from 1 to 15.
Sensitivity 1 Need to physically touch the device gently or make large movements within 100mm.
Sensitivity 15 Movement of an arm will be detected 10m from the sensor. Sensitivity is reduced by objects in front of detector such as housings and diffusers.
