Introduction Before you can begin using the Redwood Systems Building and Lighting Platform, you must commission the light Fixtures and Switches. Commissioning is performed after the physical infrastructure is installed. The Redwood Manager makes it easy to step through the process. As an administrator, in addition to commissioning, you can manage and control the Redwood System lights.
Dashboard Tab Within the Redwood Manager, the Dashboard tab provides a high-level view of the entire system. Sensor measurements such as the total power consumed, the ambient temperature, ambient light levels, and motion counts are aggregated over all Locations and plotted on a graph. A baseline value can be overlaid on these plots to show a comparative picture. The “Zoom In” button allows the selection of specific time windows.
Reporting Tab The Reporting tab shows the available data collected by the Redwood Sensors. Graphs can be viewed over various timescales. Temperature can be displayed in either Fahrenheit or Celsius. A “zoom” feature is also provided to show a more detailed view of a given dataset. The data displayed is live and will refresh automatically. Placing the mouse cursor over a part of the report’s line will show the exact time-value pair at that point.
Maintenance Tab Information on each light Fixture and Wall Switch is available in the Maintenance tab. Select a Fixture to view manufacturing information and other internal data. You can also modify the settings for the temperature and power alarms, DPIR Sensors, and Scene Control Wall Switches on the Maintenance tab.
Location Editor Tab The organization of fixtures and locations is done through the Redwood Manager’s Location Editor tab. Fixtures are stored in locations within a hierarchical tree structure. "All Locations" appears at the top of the tree. Sub-locations can be created within top-level locations and can be nested in multiple levels. Fixtures may be at any location in the hierarchical tree, except under "All All Locations". Locations .
Locations and Fixtures Before you begin the commissioning process, make sure that all lights have completed the self- discovery process and are lit. After the system is installed, the recommended order of the commissioning process is: 1. Identify and define Locations (typically floors and rooms). 2. Give the Fixtures meaningful names. 3. Assign the Fixtures to Locations. 4. Verify the settings. 5. Create Events and Policies to control the lights. 6. Assign the Events and Policies to Locations. 7.
Wall Switches will behave differently depending on whether they are associated with a “parent” or “child” Location. Typically, a Wall Switch can control Fixtures that are in the same Location. However, if a Wall Switch is placed in a “parent” Location that has Fixtures in its “child” Locations, it can control the dimming of these Fixtures as well.
Adding a Location 1. To add a parent Location, click All Locations and then click the 2. To add a sub-Location, click the parent Location and then click the appears. button that appears. button that 3. A new Location will be automatically added as a child of the Location you started with. This Location will be called “Location” plus a number like “123”. 4. Click Apply, at the bottom left of the screen.
Assigning Fixtures to Locations After creating Locations, you can assign Fixtures and Wall Switches to their appropriate Locations. The number next to each Location indicates the number of Fixtures within that Location. Newly discovered Fixtures and Wall Switches are automatically placed in the Unassigned Location. If a Sensor is unassigned, the Sensor’s LED indicator light will be solid red. If a Wall Switch is unassigned, the Wall Switch’s LED indicator light will be solid green.
Naming Fixtures Each Fixture is identified by a Name and a set of data that is determined by the Gateway/Adapter that is connected to the Fixture. When commissioning the system you can edit the Name of the Fixture to be something more meaningful to the end-user than the default value which is the ID of the Gateway/Adapter.
6. Click the Start Flashlight Commissioning button. ! ! ! A Location named Commissioned is automatically created under the Flashlight Location. The Fixtures in the Flashlight Location will dim, and their Sensor’s LED starts flashing red. Note: With flashlight commissioning sensor-only installations, the Sensor LED indicator light turns red, but since there is no Fixture, nothing will turn on. Likewise, for Wall Switches, and green LED indicator light is used when flashlight naming. 7.
Adding Wall Switches to Locations You can use three types of wall switches with the Redwood Lighting platform: a standard electrical light switch (single pole, single throw), a Redwood Wall Switch, and a Redwood Scene Control Wall Switch. Typically, a wall switch will control fixtures that are in the same location.
Adding Additional Hardware After Commissioning You can add Fixtures at any time after the initial configuration is complete. When detected, they are automatically placed in the Unassigned group. You can add Fixtureless Gateways to the same Locations as LEDs and fluorescents. They do not participate in light-control features nor limit the functionality for a Location. To add a Fixture or switch: 1. In the Location Editor tab, select the Location. 2. Drag the Fixtures you want to add to the Location. 3.
Events and Policies A Policy is a set of rules that define what to do—which actions are performed by the lights in a specific Location. A Policy identifies the light levels, occupancy mode and timeouts, and when to turn daylight harvesting on and off. An Event is a set of rules that define when to perform an action on the lights.
Events At a high level, an Event can be thought of as the “when and why” of a lighting change. Each Location has a set of prioritized Events – several Events may be “active” at once due to scheduling or external signals, but only the Event with the highest priority will actually apply its lighting Policy. To create an Event: 1. Select the Location from the Location Settings tab. 2. Click 3.
Prioritizing Events Events occur in the order that they are prioritized for each Location. The current Event priorities for a given Location are seen on the Location Settings tab for the Location. Several Events can be active at the same time because of scheduling or external signals, but only the Event with the highest priority applies its lighting Policy. For instance, a regularly scheduled Event on a Monday can be overridden by a holiday.
5. To control Fixtures based on motion, select an occupancy mode from the drop-down menu. ! ! ! ! In Standard mode, triggering only one motion sensor turns on the Location’s lights. In Multi-Sensor Occupancy mode, the Sensor count defines the number of Sensors that must trigger to activate the lights. Only a single Sensor needs to detect motion to keep the lights on. In Vacancy mode, the lights must be turned on manually. Motion does not turn on the lights, but lack of motion turns them off.
Default Policies If no Event is active and a Scene has not been selected, the default fault Policy will take effect. This Policy can be viewed in the Location Settings tab and is shown here: Edit this Policy by going to Location Settings as described in the e Events and Policies section of this guide. You can also select a different default Policy by clicking .
3. Select Configuration on the pull-down directly below the Maintenance tab. You will see a listing of the current Locations that are Recipients of motion signals from this Donor Location. 4. Click the button. 5. A dialog box will be presented that allows you to pick which Location(s) you want to receive motion signals from the Donor Location. 6. Select Finish when you are done adding Recipient Locations. Un-Sharing a Motion Signal 1.
Managing Events and Policies from “All Locations” Policies and Events can be used in multiple Locations, so often you will want to mange them as a cross-Location set. To view All Events and Policies: 1. Select “All Locations” from the Location Settings tab. 2. Select either Polices or Events on the top of the dialog box. 3. Hover over any item in the list to view the Locations in which the Event or Policy is assigned. A yellow marker next to an Event indicates that it is active in one or more Locations. 4.
Scenes A Scene is used to adjust a Location’s Fixtures to achieve a desired lighting effect for a specific period of time. Scenes apply to specific Locations, and as such are not global settings. You can create Scenes for short Events, like a presentation. For example, a common Scene in a conference room is presentation mode—the lights near the projector screen are turned off completely, while the other Fixtures are slightly dimmed.
Setting Scene Control Switches: If a Location has a Scene Control Wall Switch, you can assign up to four Scenes to the Switch buttons to allow users to select a particular Scene. To assign a Scene to a Redwood Wall Switch 3. In the Maintenance tab, click the Location on the left and select the Wall Switch in the middle pane. 4. From the drop-down menu in the right pane, select Configuration. 5. Under Scenes, map a Scene to a button from the options available in the drop-down menu. 6. Click Apply.
Sensor Calibration and Sensitivity Ambient Light Calibration Redwood Sensors are shipped calibrated, except for the ambient light Sensor. The ambient light Sensor has an adjustable dynamic range. You must calibrate it based on the light level of the space. (Calibration might not be needed if you are not using the daylight harvesting feature.) IMPORTANT NOTE Note that not calibrating only prevents the daylight harvesting feature from working, so calibration may not be needed in all installations.
To calibrate a Fixture: 1. In the Location Editor tab, select a Location. You can calibrate only one Location at a time. 2. Click the Calibrate Fixtures button. The process takes about 10 minutes. The lights fully turn on for about 2 minutes so that the Sensors can assess the maximum light reading. The lights then turn off to establish a zero-light level reading. Finally, the Fixtures step through light levels in 10% increments. 3. Wait for calibration to complete before making any other changes.
User Accounts Individual user logins can be created for each person that will access the Redwood platform. These user accounts each consist of a unique Username and a related Password. User access and available actions are determined by the assigned User Role: admin – access to Manager Admin (all tabs), Installer, Software Update, Admin Tools, and API. api – access to the API, and Manager User (Dashboard, Control, Reporting tabs). eladmin – access to Emergency Lighting, and API.
Create Users 1. To access the list of current system, click on the Sprocket Menu right of the screen. found at the top 2. On the resulting configuration dialog box the Users tab will provide a list of all current systems users, their ID, Name, Email and Role. 3. Click on the button to add a new user. 4. Give the new user account a unique ID, Name, Email Address, select a Role and provide a Password. 5. Click OK to save the changes. Deleting Users 1.
Alerts and Alarms Dashboard Alarms The Redwood Manager Dashboard displays important system messages to the administrator in the form of Alarms at the bottom of the screen. These Alarms range from minor informational points to major notifications about potential system issues, so it is important to monitor these on a regular basis.
Configuration Menu The Configuration (or “Sprocket”) Menu is found at the top right of the screen and allows access to a set of general systems configuration items. Cluster The Cluster tab is used to define which Cluster a given Engine is part of in terms of the Cluster Name, the Engine ID and IP Address of the Master in that Cluster and the Local Engine ID. For more information, see the Networking Guide. Network The Network tab identifies the IP communications settings for the given Engine.
Configuration Backups After you have completed the initial configuration, create a backup of the settings. Before making major changes to the commissioning, make sure that you have a backup so that you can restore the original configuration if needed. You can also use the configuration file to restore the system if something happens. Creating a Backup The configuration file engine.cfg is saved on your local computer. The file contains the system settings, including Policies, Scenes, and schedules.
Reverting System to Factory Default Settings Caution: Reverting the configuration cannot be undone. However, you can restore the configuration from a saved configuration file. To revert the system to the factory default configuration: 1. Click the Option button in the upper right of the Redwood Manager. 2. In the Engine Configuration screen, click the Actions tab. 3. Next to Configuration, select Revert and click OK.
Software Update Redwood will periodically release software updates that add functionality and new features. If you have an active Support Agreement you will be notified of any available upgrades via Redwood’s technical support group. IMPORTANT NOTE You cannot downgrade your system to a release version prior to the current system version. From the Redwood Application Launch Page, click on the "Software Update" tile to open the Software Update page. The current software version is listed in the top pane.
Troubleshooting You can monitor the operational health of your system using the following methods: ! ! ! ! Alerts and Alarms LEDs on the front panel of the Redwood Engine Using the Fixtures tool from the Admin Console Log files from the Redwood Support page Alerts and Alarms Alarm Possible Cause Possible LED Indicators The front panel of the Redwood Engine 3 (ENG-3-4834) has LEDs to communicate the system status.
Power LED Indicator Power LED Engine Status No power is being delivered to the Engine Blinking Engine is booting, but not yet running. Engine is on and functioning normally. Engine is experiencing a problem. Call Redwood Support. Port LED Indicators Each port on the Engine has an LED to communicate status. After a period of inactivity, the LEDs are turned off to save energy. You can check the status by pressing the Show Status button on the Engine’s faceplate.
Installer The Redwood Installer provides Fixture information, such as configuration information, the required number of ports, and the Engine that powers the Fixture. To access the Installer: 1. Log in to the Redwood Application Launch Page as an admin user. 2. Click on the “Installer” tile to open the Software Update page. The Engine’s ports will be shown along with a representation of the Cluster and several other data tables.
The following information can also be obtained from the Fixtures tab: Missing: Displays a list of Fixtures that have been disconnected since the system was powered on. Errors: Displays a list of disabled Fixtures and lists the error that the Engine detected. Warnings: Shows Fixtures that are working under conditions that the Engine considers unusual. For example, a warning is raised if plugged-in ports are not located side-by-side on an Engine.
Configuration Section The Configuration section contains links to manage the configuration file (how the Redwood Manager stores settings). The two most important links on this section are the Download Configuration and Restore Configuration. The Download Configuration link copies the configuration file to your local computer. It is recommended that you save this configuration file before making large changes to the commissioning so that you can then restore in the event that it is needed.
Basic Support Info It may be necessary to determine the IP address or the MAC address of the Engine as part of a support call. That type of information is quickly displayed by selecting the only link in this section.
