Study Notes
SensorView Overview
- SensorView is a software application for managing and monitoring nLight devices.
- It allows administrators to perform updates, view energy savings, and access troubleshooting data.
- To update SensorView, download the latest installer from the SensorView Updates page.
- For versions 7.0 and above, follow the instructions in the installer to update the software.
- To update device firmware, select the Admin button and then the Updates tab.
- SensorView retrieves the latest firmware for each device from the internet.
- You can download and install the firmware cache to perform firmware updates offline.
- To build the GreenScreen database, go to Admin -> Databases in SensorView.
- Input the name of the custom DSN that was previously configured, and SensorView will build the database.
GreenScreen
- GreenScreen logs and analyzes system and building energy performance.
- It can display energy savings in kWh, dollars, or CO2.
- It requires a configured database.
- The generation type indicates a rate of CO2 production to energy consumption.
- Electric rates can be specified for time-of-day billing periods.
- Baseline times should be configured for each day of the week, according to normal building occupancy.
BACnet Admin
- BACnet administrative settings are available in SensorView.
- The Local server port is the port on which SensorView receives BACnet commands.
- The Network Number defines the BACnet network where nLight devices reside.
- The Max APDU Length defines the maximum packet size BACnet server accepts.
- The ADPU timeout defines the timeout used for BACnet messages.
- The Device Instance Base and Group Instance Base define the base addresses for nLight devices and groups in BACnet.
- The Max String Length defines the maximum length of BACnet commands sent by SensorView.
Device Settings and Reports
- Network Device Report: Creates a printable report containing basic information about devices on the network.
- Incremental Set-Point Adjust: Alters the target light level that is to be maintained by the device.
- Invert Relay Logic: Reverses functionality of relays.
- LED: Indicates the behavior of a device’s LED.
- Local Only Occupancy Tracking: Instructs a device to react only to its internal occupancy information.
- Local Only Photocell Tracking: Instructs a device to react only to its internal photocell information.
- Local Only Switching Tracking: Instructs a device to react only to its own manual switching and/or dimming events.
- Manual On to Full Auto: Special Mode that initially requires the occupant to manually turn on the lights, after which the sensor assumes full on/off control.
- Manual to Override On: Special Mode that requires the occupant to manually turn on the lights and then leaves them in the Override On state.
- Microphone Grace Period: The time period after lights are automatically turned off that they can be reactivated by sound.
- Momentary: Input mode that senses a pulse style switch.
- Night Light Brightness: The percent of full brightness the push-buttons LED illuminates.
- Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol for synchronizing clocks of computer systems over a network. nLight gateways are synchronized with an NTP Server.
- Occupancy Broadcast Channel: The channel on which a sensor transmits its occupancy information.
- Occupancy Broadcasting: Indicates whether a sensor will transmit its occupancy information to the rest of its zone.
- Occupancy Tracking: Indicates whether a device’s relay and/or dimming output will react to occupancy information.
- Occupancy Tracking Channel: The channel on which a relay and/or dimming output receives occupancy information.
- Occupied Bright Level: The output level (0-10 VDC) that a dimming sensor sets the lights when occupancy is detected (not applicable if photocell is enabled).
- Override: Indicates whether a device’s relay is forced on/off and/or dimming output is forced to maximum/minimum.
- Photocell Broadcast Channel: The channel on which a sensor transmits its photocell information.
- Photocell Broadcasting: Indicates whether a sensor will transmit its photocell information to the rest of its zone.
