Controls in the Classroom

Classroom lighting controls are designed to maximize the student’s learning 4EACHER#ONTROL3TATION
experience. They also need to suit the instructor’s teaching style, and therefore be
flexible and intuitive.

Energy savings are achieved by reducing the need for electric lights during the
day, and ensuring that they are shut off when they are no longer needed. Oc-
cupant sensors are programmed as “vacancy sensors.” This means that instead
of switching lights on when a user occupies the space, they instead switch the
lights off when the space is left vacant. On top of saving energy, this method also %NTRY
eliminates “false ONs” from people passing by in the hallways. 3WITCH

Sequence of Operation:

1. In the morning, the teacher comes in and Photosensor

presses a digital switch, letting the system /CC3ENSOR
know that the room is occupied.

2. The photosensor maintains ambient light lev-

els throughout the day to supplement daylight.

3. Teacher overrides the ambient settings if

necessary for class activities.

4. At the end of the school day, the occupant

sensor determines that the room has been
unoccupied for a pre-set period and shuts all
the lights off.

 What about Emergency Lighting?
In larger classrooms, emergency lighting
for egress may be required. The Micro-
Cat 5 with RJ45s - Digital Bus
Panel integrates emergency lights so
that they are controlled in parallel with
normal lights. Any time normal power is
lost, emergency lights are automatically
switched on. When normal power is /CCUPANT3ENSOR 4EACHER#ONTROL3TATION
restored, all lights are restored to their
proper status (on or off).

Teacher Control Stations

How Do You Like Your Manual Controls?

LC&D is all about choice and this is especially

true when it comes to control stations. Here
are some suggested options. But don’t let us
stop you – we can pretty much do anything Option 1 Option 2
you can imagine. Really!

Option 1: Three Rocker Switches

One switch dims the daylit zone, one switch
dims the non-daylit zone, and the third one
switches the whiteboard.

Option 2: Scene Control and Manual Sliders

Scenes can be pre-set or manually adjusted by
the teacher to support any lighting scenario.

Controls in the Office

Administrative spaces are where the behind-the- $AYLIT:ONE
scenes work of a school takes place. Like any office
space, the lighting should ensure that employees are
comfortable and able to be productive.

Lighting controls should adequately address issues 3WITCH

like glare, hot spots, and individual preference for ORDIMMER
lighting levels.

Don’t Dim the Lights – Dim the Photosensor!

Let’s face it, if room occupants are not happy
with the controls, they will be bypassed. That’s why
LC&D offers manual dimming even in daylit areas.
Dimming can even be programmed to allow oc-
cupants to temporarily exceed the ceiling set by the
photosensor.
Photosensor
But here is something new that you may not have /CC3ENSOR
heard of before: Occupants can now dim the lights
indirectly by adjusting the baseline response of the
photosensor. This is a fancy way of saying “Dim the
photosensor, not the lights.”
Sequence of Operation:
This is new and quite frankly revolutionary. The oc-
cupants feel that they are overriding the photosen- 1. First staff member to arrive presses a switch, notifying the
sor but are only adjusting its response. The daylight system that the room is occupied.
harvesting never stops – it’s only adjusted.
2. Ambient light levels are maintained throughout the day
via photosensors.
3. The ambient settings are overridden by occupants from
switches if necessary.
4. At the end of the day, the occupant sensor determines
that the room has been unoccupied for a pre-set period
and shuts all the lights off.
LCDK12LCS20June08

 Daylit Hallways
If a hallway has enough daylight, occupant sensors are combined
with photosensors to minimize electricity used. Emergency lighting
is always on its own independent relay.

A-B
B A-B A-B
B A-B A-B A-B A-B A-B

Non-Daylit Hallways
Occupant sensors trigger lights to switch on. Hallways typically
do not need switches, however they can be added if needed.
These areas can also be controlled with a time clock during
operational hours, and an occupant sensor after-hours only. As
always, emergency lighting is run on its own relay.

A A A A A A A A

Emergency Lighting
In hallway/pathway lighting, emergency lights are usually on
a separate relay from normal lights due to emergency egress
requirements.

Storage Rooms
Small storage rooms (such as staff supply cabinets) are handled
with a simple occupancy sensor.
Sequence of Operation:

OS 1. A digital time clock schedule switches the

hallway lights on in the morning. If the hall-
way is daylit and equipped with photosen-
sors, the lights are triggered by daylight.
2. At the end of the day, the system shuts
the lights off.
Luminaire 3. During the evening, occupant sensors
switch the lights on as users occupy
the hallway in order to minimize energy
wasted.

 Controls Where You Need Them
The Stadium and the adjacent Practice Field are controlled by
a pedestal mounted Smart Breaker Panel in the Stadium. Other
fields and baseball diamonds are controlled by a Smart Breaker
Panel, located in the main school building.

Control panels may control 120v, 277v or even 480v lighting di-
rectly. Manual controls should be provided in a box or admin area.

Outdoor Safety
Exterior lighting includes parking lot illumination, and is also
important for nighttime safety and security. Vandalism is less
likely in well lit areas. Walkways properly lit reduce the likelihood
of accidents. Exterior lighting also includes signage, and lighting
to enhance architectural features.
