Dimming
Fagerhult e-Sense – ActiLume and smartSwitch – Control systems simplified
e-Sense ActiLume
ActiLume is a control system from Philips
based on the DALI protocol. The system
consists of a detector and a controller. The
sensor has three dierent parts: a detector
for presence, a sensor for daylight control
and an IR receiver should you want to use a remote control.
e-Sense ActiLume oers maximum comfort and energy savings
up to 75 %. The immense potential for energy savings oers the op-
portunity to make a rapid payback on the investment costs
The system also oers the user the chance to adjust the light to
a personal level with the help of a retractable switch, pull switch or
remote control.
ActiLume consists of a small, compact sensor unit and a control-
ler designed for assembly in the luminaire. ActiLume is a simple
system produced for “plug and
play” lighting solutions in oce
milieus. The combination oc-
cupancy detector – light sensor
– dimmable HF-ballasts gives a
vast range of choices. With the
experience of knowing which
combinations are used the
most, you can easily attain the
perfect solution for light control
in an oce.
Start of ActiLume installation
To start an ActiLume installation is easy – insert the plug! ActiLume
has a factory setting that automatically sets the lighting level,
however, it should be adapted to reflect the lighting requirements
for the room in which its installed. NOTE! Avoid the influence of
daylight when doing this! Press the service button for more than 3

seconds (the fluorescent lamps
flash once). After 30 seconds
the adjustment is complete (the
fluorescent lamp flashes again).
The delay of 30 seconds is to
permit the removal of objects,
such a step ladders, which may
interfere with the sensor recog-
nising the work surface.
ActiLume adjusts the light
level automatically to approximately 80 % of the new light value.
This corresponds to about 600 lx (500 lx + 0.8 maintenance factor)
on the work surface in an oce with the normal placement of the
luminaire. Adjustment to 80 % is as the new, maintained, light level
is usually higher than the normal value. You already make savings
with this setting.
You can easily choose one of two standard functions by press-
ing the sensor unit’s service button (press for less than 3 seconds).
When the button is released, the fluorescent lamps indicate by
flashing once or twice:
One flash = “Mode 1” Oce room (light switched o approx. •
15 minutes after the last occupancy detection).
Two flashes = “Mode 2” Open-plan oce (light control adjusts •
down to a low level after the last occupancy and is switched o
completely after 2 hours).
Manual control
A non-locking switch can be connected to the manual light control,
quickly pressing for On/O. Pressing and holding provides a dimmer
function.
At Fagerhult we consider economy in lighting control to be the sum
of all parts. Our e-Sense solution is easy to use and install, oer-
ing quality in both light treatment and ongoing energy eciency.
Fagerhults e-Sense luminaires are equipped with integrated light
control; an attractive, easy installation without the need of add-on
or external sensors.
No connections – no problems. Fagerhult e-Sense is the easiest,
quickest way to install light control, insert the plug and the system
is running. The luminaires have a newly developed multi-sensor
that detects movement in the room, measures the incidental light
and adapts the output accordingly.
Our aim has been to eliminate all the hidden costs of installation,
operation and maintenance. To avoid switches and complicated set-
tings. Install a luminaire and get a complete control system.
Control the light yourself, with the help of a pull switch. Refurnish
the oce, the luminaire is a separate functioning unit. Timely and
costly reprogramming is no longer necessary.
