3.0. Operational Terminology (Plug'n'play)

Organic Response is a “plug & play” system requiring no configuration and operates out of the box with default factory settings. These factory default settings and how they contribute to the operations are detailed below.

3.1. Zone (Default ID 1)

Zones act as logical separation between how information is shared between nodes in an area. All nodes comes with a default zone 1. This allows them to communicate with one another to share all occupancy & control information with their neighboring nodes without any need to configure them.

3.2. Personality (Default Open Floor)

Personality is a setting of the ResponseSN3 that determines the dimming level for various distances from the closest occupant in a zone. The dim levels for open floor personality which is the default mode for all ResponseSN3 are shown as below;

3.3. Operations

Some of the core default operations can be understood easily from the figure showing transition of,

  1. Light output (along y-axis) against

  2. Time (along x-axis) with

  3. Occupancy events shown at the top indicating state of occupancy

Operational Depiction

In an out of box installation following the picture above an occupancy detection will trigger below actions,

  1. MAXLIGHT LEVEL – Upon sensing occupancy from its own PIR a ResponseSN3 would turn the light on at 100% known as default maxlight level. This node will then trigger the open floor personality to come into effect for neighboring nodes in zone 1 (as explained above).

  2. DWELL TIME – Luminaire would wait for 10 mins (called dwell time) at its MaxLight level (100%) before dropping to low light level after a space becomes vacant.

  3. LOWLIGHT LEVEL – This low light level achieved after dwell time is a lower safety level for occupancy and is 10% by default.

  4. LOWLIGHT TIME – Luminaire would wait for further 10 mins (low light time) at it LowLight level (10%) before going to next level while the space remains vacant

  5. MIN LIGHT – Upon passage of 10 mins of no occupancy (lowlight time) lights would turn off (0% light output) where default min light levels at 0%

In addition some other default parameters which are shared above and contribute to operations include,

  1. DEFAULT COLOR TEMPERATURE - The default colour temperature is 4500K which is maintained as long as luminaire outputs non-zero light level.

  2. RESPONSE RADIO LIGHT OUTPUT – Upon powering up a ResponseRadio it will cause the connected luminaire to exhibit 100% light output and will continue to stay at 100% light output at all times unless further configured.

  3. RESPONSE RADIO COLOR TEMPERATURE – A ResponseRadio that will have the tunable white luminaires will preset to 4000K colour temperature in addition to 100% light output unless configured further.
