Motion Sensing

The Motion Sensing Operation will switch lighting ON upon the detection of a person entering the zone covered by the sensor beam. After a pre-set delay, the motion sensor will switch back lighting OFF if no presence is being detected. Motion sensors can be enabled and disabled according to time schedules.

Cleaning / Security*

Enabled during off-work hours, the Cleaning/Security Function will allow authorized employees(janitor, guard, landlord, etcÖ) to switch ON/OFF the lights in preset areas without disturbing the occupants.The Cleaning/Security Function is generally performed through the use of key switches. When the key switch is activated, the system memorizes the actual status off all the relays in the area. An ON activation of the key switch will turn ON all the OFF relays in the area. The OFF activation of the key switch will only turn OFF the relays that were already OFF before the ON activation.

*Available only with the K8 and K8D Series.

Photocell

The Photocell Function will turn ON and OFF the exterior lights according to the ambient light level. Exterior lights can also be controlled through a time schedule with astronomical control. Furthermore, an ON or OFF set can be entered to cause the switching to occur sooner or later than the actual sunset and sunrise.

Sweep ON / OFF

The sweep ON/OFF Operation is used to turn preset lights automatically ON and OFF according to pre-programmed schedules*. To permit off-hours activities, such as overtime and janitoriall work, scheduling can be overridden through different actions such as manual ON/OFF and motion detection.

* The schedule programing is performed directly on the KC-411 8 Channel Time Clock
for the K4 Series and through the Kameleon Software for the K8 and K8D Series.

Manual ON / OFF

The manual ON/OFF Operation gives occupants total control on the lighting in each of the zones equipped with a switch-based device. Manual ON/OFF are the most common override operations. The different ON/OFF actions can be achieved with a variety of switches, such as Key Operated, Toggle, Vandal Proof and Pilot Lights Equipped. Switches can be enabled and disabled according to time schedules.

Time ON Extension

The Time ON Extension Mode (TOE) causes the Time Clock* to start a timer when the relay is switched ON. Upon time expiry (generally a building-wide standard delay period**), the relay is switched OFF. The TOE mode can be enabled and disabled according to a time schedule. Thus, switches work normally during business hours and in TOE mode during off-work hours.

* KC-411 for the K4 Series or KC-811 for the K8 & K8D.
** The delay is fixed at two hours with the K4 Series and adjustable with the K8 & K8D Series.

Flick Warning

The Flick Warning Function is used to remind occupants that lights will be switched OFF after a pre-programmed countdown delay*.

*The countdown is fixed at 5 minutes with the K4 Series and adjustable with the K8 and K8D.

Dimming

Different Dimming Functions can be performed in designated areas in order to generate energy savings or to adjust the light level according to specific needs. The most common dimming application is the light harvesting function. Light harvesting will perform dimming actions in peripheral areas according to the amount of natural light available. All Dimming Functions are performed through the use of constant light controllers and dimmable ballasts. In a centralized configuration, dimming controllers* will be used to program scenes and to control the dimmable ballasts (analog) or the dimming racks (digital).

* Available only with the K8D Series (KC-84X Dimming Controllers)
