Lightcloud Sensor
Overview
The Lightcloud Sensor is a dual-technology motion detector that can switch and dim both local and remote circuits. It monitors power consumption, and can send an alert if power is lost. The Sensor is available for both standard and high bay applications, each with the option of surface or fixture mounting.

Setup & Installation
Functionality
Device Overview
Status Indicator
Solid GREEN when connected to your Lightcloud network
Blinking RED when not connected to a Lightcloud network. The device will automatically continue trying to connect to any network that is in Setup Mode.
Power Indicator
Illuminated when powered. Blinking when indicated from the Lightcloud application.
Signal Indicator
After the Device Button has been pressed, this indicator illuminates when the device receives a message and indicates the strength of the signal. 3 - Best Signal 2 - Acceptable Signal 1 - Unacceptable Signal Consult the “Finding a Location” section for more information.
Device Button
Press once to highlight this device in the Lightcloud Application (pressing once also enables display of the Signal Indicators)
Press twice to toggle circuit on and o
Press twice and hold to set dim level
Press and hold for 10 seconds to remove this device from a Lightcloud network
Motion Indicator
Illuminates when motion is detected.
Sensor
Passive Infrared motion sensor.
Features
Passive Infrared Motion Detection
Occupancy & Vacancy Sensing
The Lightcloud Sensor can operate in either Occupancy or Vacancy Sensor modes, selectable via the Lightcloud application. In Occupancy mode, the attached circuit will be switched on when motion is detected, and o (or dimmed) when the timeout expires. In Vacancy mode, the attached circuit will be turned off when the motion timeout expires, but will only be turned on via the Lightcloud application, Lightcloud Dimmer, or similar. Motion detection and timeout can still be used via Lightcloud Automations to control other devices.
Controller Mode
In Controller Mode, the attached circuit is controllable as an independent zone in the Lightcloud application. Motion detection and timeout can still be used via Lightcloud Automations to control other devices.
Range Test Mode
When Range Test Mode is activated via the Lightcloud application, the timeout period is shortened so that you can test di erent sensitivities quickly. All indicators will go o ff except for the Motion Indicator. When satis ed, turn off Range Test Mode to continue normal operation.
0-10V Dimming
0-10V is a common method of low-voltage control of dimmable drivers and ballasts.
Purple: 0-10V positive Gray: 0-10V common
Note: The National Electrical Code requires that low-voltage wiring used in the same enclosure as high voltage wiring have an equal or better insulation rating. You may need to complete your low-voltage wiring in another enclosure or use a partition.
Device Identification
For help with installation, there are two ways to identify this device:
Pressing the Device Button on the actual product will produce a message in the Lightcloud application indicating which device you are working with.
Pressing the “Indicate” button in the Lightcloud application will cause the device’s Status Indicator to blink green. This will also switch the device’s relay on and off repeatedly, allowing you to quickly identify which circuit it is.
Power Measurement
The Lightcloud Sensor is capable of measuring the power usage of the attached circuit. In order to utilize this function, the neutral wire of the load must be connected to the white-red switched neutral wire. If this wire is not used, it should be tied to the regular neutral wire (i.e. all neutral wires joined).
Power Loss Detection
If power to the Sensor is lost, the device will detect this and alert the Lightcloud application.
Emergency Default
If communication is lost, the Sensor may optionally fall back to a speci fic state, such as turning the attached circuit on. This may be con gured via the Lightcloud application or by calling RAB.
