OPERATING MODES
Plug n’ Go
The default operating mode for the LMLS-400 is
Plug n’ Go™ (PnG). Upon initial power up, the system
automatically takes inventory of the devices on the DLM
Local Network and allows immediate operation of devices
in the most energy effi cient manner. When only one
LMLS-400 is found, it is automatically assigned to Load 1.
Based on the attributes of the room controller, the LMLS-
400 will confi gure itself to Switching or Dimming Mode.
Push n’ Learn
Push and Learn™ (PnL) mode provides for remote load
binding and confi guration within the room, without
requiring direct access to the Room Controller(s). While
the LMLS-400 must be confi gured through the use of a
confi guration tool (e.g., LMCT-100), the CONFIG button at
the back of the product can be used to force the system
into or out of PnL mode, and/or to step to the next load in
sequence, when confi guring devices other than the
LMLS-400.
Confi rmation of Load Binding
To provide a confi rmation of load bindings after
installation, a quick press using a paper clip on the USER
button sequences through three states:
1st press - all controlled loads forced ON at 100%
2nd press - all controlled loads forced OFF at 0%
3rd press - exit load binding confi rmation mode and
resume normal control. (Confi rmation mode cancels
automatically after 5 minutes if no further action is taken
after the 1st or 2nd press.)
Test Mode
When enabled from a confi guration tool, the controller
can be placed in Test Mode, which has the effect of
reducing time delays (to create near-immediate reaction
to changes in measured light levels) and increasing ramp
rates (to cause the changes to be immediately visible).
By default, time delays are reduced to 5 seconds, and the
ramp rate increased to 20%/second. If not cancelled by
an action in the commissioning tool, the controller will
automatically exit Test Mode after 5 minutes.
Override Mode and Override Timeout
Temporary override of the electric light levels from a DLM
wall switch can be permitted while daylighting is active.
Use the Override Mode and Override Time menus in the
Advanced Settings screen of the LMCT-100 to confi gure
this behavior.
Note that daylighting is not active until at least one of the
controlled loads is turned on, either by a wall switch or
another device (e.g., an occupancy sensor).
Once daylighting is in active control of the loads, it is
always possible to use a wall switch or sensor to turn off
all loads (and deactivate daylighting). Any other changes
(increasing or decreasing the light level, or turning off
or on a single load in a bi-level or tri-level switching
scenario) are limited by the Override Mode setting.
When Override Mode: Down is selected (default), wall
switches can only be used to reduce the light level from
that selected by daylighting.
When Override Mode: Up+Dn is selected, the level of the
controlled loads can be increased or decreased from a
wall switch.
If Override Mode: None is selected, the level of the loads
cannot be changed from the wall switch, except to turn
the loads off completely (and deactivate daylighting).
If a wall switch is used to override the level, daylighting
control will temporarily suspend, and the sensor’s blue
LED will fl ash once every four seconds to indicate this.
If Override Time: Infi n (default) is chosen, the override
condition will remain in effect until the loads are turned
off manually, or until the next cycle of occupancy.
If any other value is chosen for Override Time, automatic
daylighting control will resume after the selected period
of time (1 hour – 24 hours).
To provide a choice of arbitrary light levels in Dimming
applications, a switch with a dimming control rocker (e.g.,
LMDM-101, or LMSW-105) should be used.
Scene Control and Daylighting
Setting a new light level using a scene switch is always
possible, and is not considered an override. If daylighting
control is active when a new scene is selected, control
suspends until the new scene is displayed, and then
daylighting control resumes, with the new level
established by the scene as the maximum electric light
level – in other words, daylight can reduce the electric
light level below that established in the scene, but never
above.
This parameter should be used only when all the loads in
the scene are in the daylight controlled zone.
An option is available in the confi guration tool that
temporarily disables daylighting control for any zone on
which a scene is recalled. When Scenes Stop DL is set to
Yes in the Advanced Settings confi guration menu, the light
level set by the scene remains in effect until a change is
manually made to the level of any load in the zone, or until
the next cycle of occupancy.
CONFIGURATION
The confi guration process
establishes the appropriate
parameters for operation. This
is done through the use of an
LMCT-100 confi guration tool.
If no confi guration steps are
taken, the sensor will use its
default values for setpoints.
