2.2. Optimising Personality
Personality is a new concept in lighting control that is unique to Organic Response.
The Personality defines the relationship between the occupancy level signal (i.e. distance from occupancy as measured in number of light fittings away from motion detection) and the light output of the luminaire. Each Personality defines the level of light output for each occupancy level signal. It thereby effectively sets how wide or narrow the cone of light around the occupant will be. Personalities also have their own preset Dwell Times (See Section 3.2 of the User Guide) and LowLight times.
The graphic below illustrates how each of three personalities (Open Floor, Open Floor Saver and Corridor) affect the light output of each light as distance from detected motion increases. As you can see, the more aggressive personality of Open Floor Saver has light output falling away much more quickly as distance from motion increases, as compared to the gentler gradient of the Corridor personality, or the Open Floor Personality, which has a profile between the other two. The default Personality for Organic Response is Open Floor.
Looking at the Open Floor Personality in the graphic below, we can see that the light that detects motion comes on to 100% of its MaxLight level. The immediately adjacent light fitting (which receives a Level 1 signal from the Response Sensor Node that has detected motion) also comes on at 100%, as it is also contributing light to the space where the occupant is located. The second light away from motion comes on at 70%, the third light away at 40% and the 4th light away at 10%. Subsequent lights also come on at 10%, up until the 14th light, after which the lights ignore occupancy and remain in their MinLight (standby) state.
The Personality features of the system are accessed and modified via the Personality section of the Respons Apps. The app contains 14 different Personalities. You can review the full table of Personalities, their behavior profiles and their typical applications in Appendices (Chapter 10).
HOW TO CHANGE (AND RELAY) PERSONALITY (Response IR App) | ||
Commands | Response from Node | Response from luminaire |
1. Point the dongle at the Response Sensor Node of the light whose personality you want to change and press the button showing your preferred Personality | Dome flashes red once to acknowledge receipt of Personality command | The luminaire will immediately adopt the new Personality Time |
2. Point the dongle at the Response Sensor Node of the light whose Personality you have just adjusted and press the Relay button. Note: If you use the Relay Personality command, it will adjust the Personality of every Response Sensor Node that receives the message, so if you’re looking to adjust only some of the luminaire’s, adjust their Personalities individually. | Dome flashes red once to acknowledge receipt of Relay command, and then continues to flash red for 60 seconds. Dome of neighboring Response nodes luminaires that receive the Relay message will glow red for 60 seconds to indicate that they have received the Relay Personality signal. Any Response Node that does not glow red has not received the signal and has not changed its Personality. | All the luminaires that received the relayed Lowlight Time signal will immediately adopt the new Personality. |
HOW TO CHANGE (AND RELAY) PERSONALITY (Response App) | ||
Commands | Response from Node | Response from luminaire |
1.Choose “Configure Nodes“ or “EnOcean Switch” from the home screen | None | None |
2. Upon selection e.g. “Configure Nodes” Response App sends a 'Scan for Node ID' message in the background as you enter in “Light Output” menu and can see the “node selection“ at the top. | Dome will turn solid red to acknowledge selection of the node. | None |
3. If it is not the node you wished to select click on “Dismiss Node” or shake or pull-down refresh on your phone to select another node. | The node previously selected will settle its red dome to off and newly selected node will indicate it is selected by its red dome staying solid red. | None |
4. Select the Response sensor Node of the light whose personality you want to change and press the button showing your preferred Personality. Note: Remember to toggle relay on for setting low light for whole zone before dimming. | Dome flashes red once to acknowledge receipt of Personality command. Read the relay indication in section 2.1.5 | The luminaire will immediately adopt the new Personality Time. If a dwell and low light times are already customized only the profile will be saved and custom dwell and low light times will take precedence over personality defaults |
5. If you wish to query the personality press the “query” button. | Dome flashes red once to acknowledge receipt of command | None |
