6. Creating profiles

Once all luminaires are identified and placed onto the relevant drawings, the next stage is to create profiles. Profiles are sets of parameters or settings defining the behaviour of devices.

Step by step instructions

Creating new profile

  1. Click Profiles [1].

  2. Create a new profile by clicking on the profile list drop down box [2].

  3. Click NEW PROFILE [3] this will create a copy of the pre-selected profile. We recomend doing this from profile 101- DALI+PIR or other profile that suits your needs.

  4. To change the naming of the profile, click Rename [4].

If you want, you can chenge the icon of each profile so it’s easier to identify devices with it on drawings.

Tap on the luminaire image in the top left > select from drop down list. Scroll to see more.

Components

In this section you will be setting the components of the device in the Components [5] view of this tab, follow the sections below to set all components in place.

Selecting the luminaire type

Click the LiteIP box. Select which device you have in the luminaire [6]:

  • LuminaireController - Use for G4, D4i, G3 Slimline and G3 230v Controller devices (with or without PIRs).

  • Microwave - Use for all Wireless Radio CMW sensors.

  • SceneController - Use with simulated, 230v and battetry operated scene controllers.

  • E3Monitor - Use for G2-E3M emergency only devices.

Click Save Changes [7].

Selecting the LED driver type

Click on the Driver box, and select the one of the options from the drop down list [8].

  • Fixed Output - will not be dimmable will switch on/off only

  • DALI or 1-10v - will allow the more advanced options to be applied

Click Save Changes [9].

Click on the Driver box and go to Advanced settings. There tick the DT8 both the Enabled and Available checkboxes.

The LDR box can be used to set up Daylight Sensors

Daylight Sensors - if you have a Recessed IP20 or Surface IP56, review the Spec Guide to determine whether to use Sensor Up or Sensor Down, most of the time the sensor is in the down position.
Click Save changes.

Tick the PIR box [10], it is used to enable PIR or Microwave sensors.

Click Save Changes.


Setting profile parameters

Select the required settings for this profile in the Graph view [13]:

  • OnLevel - the maximum on level of the luminaire

  • FadeTime - the length of time the fitting will take to fade to Standby Level

  • StandbyLevel - the level of the luminaire once it is dimmed

  • StandbyTime - the length of time the luminaire remains at the Standby Level (127.5 = never off)

  • PowerOn - enter the wattage of the luminaire at full output

  • DayNightEnabled - See Application Note - Building Occupied & Unoccupied Mode


Applying Profiles

Once you have created your profiles, they can be applied to Wireless Radio devices.

  1. Open the Luminaires tab [14] and go to Configure [15].

  2. Select an individual device or group of devices by swiping your finger across a group of devices.

  3. Click Profile [16] and select the new profile from the drop down list.

  4. Ensure all the fittings are blue and Synced - using the Sync button [17] or tapping the individual device.

  5. Repeat the process for all devices.

Each profile will have in brackets the number of devices assigned to that profile. The 100 - Default profile will have additionaly the number of drawings you have created.

If you make changes to profiles you must ensure that all changes have been synced.
