Type |
Daylight curve |
Type of colour temperature/brightness curve. There are currently 3 profiles available: Daylight curve, Activate curve and Manual curve (see below). |
Manual curve |
|
This option can be used to set your own curves for colour temperature and brightness. |
Update interval [s] |
30 |
Setting the intervals for updating the calculated colour temperature/brightness values. |
Pause mode |
Hold position |
This can be used to set whether the simulation of the curve progressions should be continued or paused in the background during a pause (or during overwriting using a manual value). |
Constant light control |
|
This can be used to set whether the currently measured ambient light should be taken into account when calculating the dimming values. The current brightness of the curve is offset against the brightness actually measured by the sensor. The calculated value is output at the "Brightness (regulated)" data point. |
External constant light control |
|
If activated, the dimming values at the outputs are compensated according to the setpoint value of the external control. |
Lumen package |
1 |
The maximum brightness of the lamps used can be entered here. This value is multiplied by the calculated target brightness (in %) and the correction factor and output on the data point (brightness calculated). |
Light correction factor |
1 |
This factor is taken into account when calculating the "Brightness calculated" value. |
Evaluate presence |
|
If this option is set, presence evaluation is active |
Upper threshold value for 0% hysteresis |
5 |
If the brightness was at 0%, it must rise above this value before it is output again. |
Autostart |
|
This can be used to set whether the sequence should start automatically when the component is active. |
Driver on/off |
|
This can be used to set whether the component should be active when the system is started. |
Below are the progressions of the brightness and color temperature of the two modes. The following values are set:
Color temperature = 3000K - 6500K;
Brightness = 40% - 100%;
Period: 2 minutes;
Active time: 1 minute;
Repeat: Active
Course of the brightness in the mode "daylight" (runs within the defined "active time" between color temperature min and color temperature max):

Color temperature trend in "daylight" mode (runs within the defined "active time" between color temperature min and color temperature max):

Color temperature trend in "Activate" mode (runs within the defined "Active time" between color temperature min and color temperature max):


Example:
Time lapse with a period of 2 minutes and an active time of 1 minute (continuous repetition), Type: Activate.
