Autolux ~ Universal Lighting Controller Installation and User Manual INTRODUCTION This manual describes the Installation and Operation of the Autolux ~ Universal Lighting Controller This control must be installed according to the current IEE Wiring Regulations and should include full disconnection means and fusing appropriate to the connected loads. 1 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 1.1 Operating Environment 1.
1.3 Electrical Specifications The power supply is SELV isolated, therefore all remote sensor and remote switch wiring to the control does not need to be mains level rated, but should be insulated to the highest voltage present where entering the control box.
2 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 2.1 Mounting the Control Assembly Ensure that the controller is installed no less than 1.5m above the floor level. The controller should be positioned to allow the user easy access to the push buttons and to read the LCD display. The controller can be positioned with the cable entry to the bottom or the top depending on the cable routing. The lid with the controller circuit board can be rotated through 180 degrees to accommodate top or bottom cable entry.
The housing consists of a two part plastic moulding held together by four screws. Plugs are supplied to cover the screws following installation. Knockouts are provided for cable glands to allow mains and remote sensor and switch cables to be fitted to the control assembly. Knock the plastic out to fit the glands as required. Never leave holes that allow finger access. Whenever possible, keep mains wiring and signal wiring separated and use separate knockouts for each type of wiring system.
2.2 General Wiring Specifications Connect as shown below. A suitably qualified person must make all wiring connections. Please refer to the following wiring connection drawings (see 2.3) and observe the notes referring to cable type and length. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in electrical interference or unsatisfactory operation. When making connections to screw terminals please ensure that no more than 6mm of insulation is stripped back and that no stray wire strands escape.
2.3 WIRING CONNECTIONS External connections are by 27 screw terminals as follows: Screw terminals are 7.5mm and 5mm spacing rising clamp style with 2.5mm² wire entry size for power connections and with 1.5mm² wire entry size for signal connections. The terminal identification and description are provided below, together with the maximum terminal capacity in mm2 (shown in brackets).
2.4 OCCUPANCY SENSOR WIRING CONNECTIONS – S1 to S6 Where occupancy detection is required, a range of BlueWave sensors are designed for use with the Universal Controller. The preferred cable is 4-core stranded and connections will be as follows: Universal Controller 12V GND S+ S- BlueWave Sensor + ALM (ALARM) ALM (ALARM) Note – Tamper and LED terminals on the BlueWave sensor(s) are not used.
2.6 REMOTE SWITCH WIRING CONNECTIONS – S1 to S6 Where remote switches are to be connected, two switch options exist: a) Momentary push button / retractive switch / push switch Universal Controller Push switch S + Æ COM S - Æ PUSH TO BREAK (N/C) Note Where more than one push switch is required on an input, simply connect additional switches in series. Ranges of suitable push buttons are available, engraved to suit the application, eg Override, Lighting etc.
3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 3.1 The buttons The ten buttons have the following functions: Increase a value. Enter the settings menu. Decrease a value. Initiate or quickly extend a time program. Accept a newly entered value. Initiate a holiday period. Cancel overtime, holiday, edited value or current submenu. End overtime, holiday or reset time logs in engineers menu. Apply British Summer Time or Greenwich Mean Time. Toggle the display between time and sensor readings.
3.2 The display During normal operation the time and day will be displayed. When the user is not programming or inspecting a parameter, the display will cycle through the status of each zone. The status shows the demand for each of the controlling elements, Timer (t), Lux (L), PIR / Push Switch (P) or Frost (F). These are each shown as “t”, “L”, “P” and “F” to denote the appropriate element.
3.4 Setting user parameters The controller can be set to operate in a variety of modes to suit the application. Press the SET button when in normal display mode allows the user to set various parameters within the unit. Repeat presses of SET cycle through the parameters to be set as follows. 1. 2. 3. 4. Set Clock Set Auto Mode Set Timer Program Set Lux level 3.5 Setting the Clock Press the SET button. (Enter your PIN if prompted.
3.6 Setting the Auto Mode Auto Mode defines which controller or sensor inputs the zone will respond to when activating the zone relay. Auto Off means the zone will only respond to the panic override and frost settings. Auto Lux means that the zone will be controlled by light level sensors and/or PIR sensors, as assigned under the Engineers Menu. Auto Clock means the zone will be controlled by the on off time settings made under the set program menu.
3.7 Setting the Program (on / off times) Each zone relay can be programmed to be active during certain times of the day. Two active periods can be programmed, between ON 1 and OFF 1 and between ON 2 and OFF 2. The second on/off period can be skipped if not required. A different program can be set for each day of the week. Press the set button three times from the main screen to access the set program option. The icons SET and OK? Will be displayed with the PROGRAM icon flashing.
Two timeslots per day are allowed, where each timeslot includes an ON and OFF time. Once a day’s time program has been completed the day icon will flash for the next day. To finish with the program settings press cancel or reset after pressing OK for the last programmed day. 3.8 Setting the Lux level Lux levels can be programmed for each zone. There will be light level demand when any lux sensor assigned to a zone reads a lux level equal to or less than the programmed value.
3.10 Setting the Extend feature The EXTEND key can be used to initiate or extend a temporary override timer. When in Auto-Clock mode, this will override the clock programme on or off. When in Auto-Lux mode, this will override the occupancy or press switch status only. When in Auto-Lux-Clock mode, this will override the clock programme on or off. When in Auto-Off mode this will override the zone to on. Press the EXTEND key to access the Extend function.
Press OK to initiate the extend period. The normal clock display will be replaced with an overtime countdown. While in extend mode the extend period can be increased or decreased by pressing the extend key. The time can be modified without having to reprogram the extend type or applicable zones. Pressing the reset button or cancel button during the extend period will cancel the extension setting and revert to automatic operation. 3.
3.13 Battery Type & Replacement The real time clock and program information is battery backed up by a lithium coin cell. When mains power is interrupted, the clock, backed by the battery, will continue to operate normally for seven days after which it will stop. The battery will continue to back up the program information. The battery has a service life of approximately five years. The condition of the battery is monitored and when replacement becomes necessary, this will be indicated on the display.
4. Engineer Functions. The engineer functions allow you to program various advanced parameters. In order to access the engineer function press and hold the + button and press the SET button. The [SET] and[ENGINEER] icons are displayed. All control functions may be optionally password protected by a PIN code. Pressing the CANCEL button during programming will cause the setting being programmed to change back to its original value.
4.2 Programming the engineering functions All engineer functions are displayed as a code in the first two digits if the display, e.g. C1, t1, t2 and a variable in the second two digits. Press the SET button to cycle through the engineering variables until the desired variable is displayed. Pres OK button to accept this variable. The variable value (second two digits) will start flashing. Press the + or – buttons until the desired variable value is displayed. Press OK to accept this value.

Setting 00 effectively disables the function. PIR runback time in minutes. Applies to all PIR sensor inputs. Setting 00 allows connection of On / Off switches where no time delay is applied. LUX level relay change delay time in seconds.
