Daylight SensorWired Sensors
Wired Daylight Sensor with
Infrared Receiver
This daylight sensor is designed specifically to work
with Lutron
® ballasts, control modules, and sensor
interfaces to implement daylight harvesting. To
maintain a specific light level in the space, it allows
the control system to automatically dim the lights
when the available daylight is high and brighten the
lights when the available daylight is low. An integrated
infrared (IR) receiver resides within the sensor to
allow access to the system for advanced
programming and personal control.
Features
Mounts easily on any ceiling tile or fixture.
Threaded mounting stud may be shortened for
applications with limited fixture height.
Calibrated for daylight sensitivity through the lighting
control system to which it is attached.
Receives IR signals and transfers them to a digital
ballast, control module, or sensor interface.
The infrared receiver receives IR programming
signals from up to 8.2 ft (2.5 m) away.
Constructed of flame-retardant material.
Meets IEC 801-2. Tested to withstand 15 kV
electrostatic discharge without damage.
LED indicates programming mode.
Sensor wire insulation is rated to 600 V, suitable for
fixture installation.

Installing
Determine the Proper Location of the Daylight
Sensor Using the Adjacent Diagram.
The arrow on the daylight sensor points toward the
area viewed by the sensor.
The effective window height (H) starts 3 ft (1 m) up
from the floor or at the window sill, whichever is
higher, and ends at the top of the window.
Place the daylight sensor so its viewing area is
centered upon the nearest window at a distance of
between 1–2 H from the window.
Ensure that the view of the daylight sensor is not
obstructed.
Do not position the daylight sensor in the well of a
skylight or above indirect lighting fixtures.
Mounting the Daylight Sensor
Drill a 3/8 in (10 mm) diameter hole in the ceiling tile
or pendant fixture.
Thread the wires through the hole.
Install the daylight sensor into the hole.
Secure the daylight sensor with the mounting
hardware provided (hand tighten only).
Note: If the stem of the daylight sensor must be
shortened because of its location (e.g., in a pendant
fixture), this should be done prior to wiring.
Wiring to a Sensor Input
Connect the sensor wires as described:
Wire Terminal
Red 20 V-
Black Common
Yellow Daylight Signal
White IR Signal (cap if not used)
Make sure that the supply breaker to the control
system is OFF.
Use only 22 AWG (1.0 mm
2
) solid wire.
If IR output is not required, the white wire should be
terminated.
A sensor can be wired only to a single control
module or sensor interface.
Each input on a control module or sensor interface
can have only one daylight sensor connected to it.
