Presence

Presence linking allows actication of other lumianires when a sensor in a specific lumainire detects presence. You can create individual or multiple links.
The limit on bidirectional linking on a single device is 36. However, unidirectional links can be created without any limitation.

Create individual links

  1. Select Luminaires [1] and Link [2].

  2. Determine the two fittings to be linked and drag your finger between the two devices.

  3. If you require a bi-directional link, draw a line back the other way.

If you draw an individual link line, the luminaire will not Link to Self and it's PIR will not become active. Select Link to Self [3] on the individual luminaire to enable this.

Create multiple links

  1. Select the group of luminaires you'd like to link by dragging your finger over them.

  1. You will be presented with 6 options:

  • Link All(xx) - This will link all luminaires together so that presence detected on any sensor will turn the other linked fittings on.

  • Unlink All - This will remove all presence links for the group of devices.

  • Link From X - This will provide a link from another device. If you select this option you will be prompted to enter the full device serial ID. This is used when you want to link from a device on a different drawing.

  • Link To X - This will provide a link to another device. If you select this option you will be prompted to enter the full device number. This is used when you want to link to a device on a different drawing.

  • Link to Self – Link luminaires to themselves so they will operate independently.

  • Me & 8 (dynamic grouping) - This will allow for smaller groups of fittings to be linked within a large group and is typically used in open areas. The '8' can be changed to a larger number with a long press on the 'Me & 8' button. To implement and alter Me & 8:

    • Highlight the whole group to be controlled in this way

    • Long press Me&8

    • A popup box will prompt you to enter the group size > save

    • Press the Me&xx button again (this will now display the number you entered)

    • A diagram will appear on the drawing

    • Confirm to apply or cancel to change

If you tap on a luminaire whilst in the Link tab you will see all current links to that device.

  1. Ensure all the fittings and links are blue and Synced - using the Sync button [4] in the top left.
    If you make changes to links or which links a device has then you must check that all changes have been synced.
