2.7 User Interfaces
Providing end-users with an intuitive means of interaction with the lighting system, Philips
LightMaster user interfaces includes wall panels and universal sensors.
2.7.1 Button Panels
A local control panel allows occupants to adjust the lighting control system to suit their
requirements. To help perform the various functions required of the control system and help users
to intuitively interact with the many different features, each panel is powered directly from the
network and therefore requires no mains wiring. Panels can be individually configured via the KNX
industry standard ETS commissioning software to perform simple or complex logical functions.
Philips LightMaster panels bring the full power of the control system to the single touch of a button.
One button press can instantly change the look and feel of the whole environment.
2.7.2 Sensors
Offering the ability to interact with project spaces passively, the Philips LightMaster sensor range
brings the features of motion detection and light level detection into one unit, in a compact and
aesthetic solution. Each of the features can be operating at the same time, allowing automation
scenarios such as turning on the lights after detecting motion and then dimming the lighting level
once the available sunlight has been measured, providing additional energy savings. After the area has
been unoccupied for the predetermined time, the lights will then switch off. Combining each of these
functions into the one device reduces the need for many different types of sensors cluttering the
ceiling space.
Each sensor has an inbuilt microprocessor, allowing for logical functions to control a small room, the
floor of a building or an entire building. All sensors receive their power from the KNX or DALI
network and as they are fully remotely programmable, they can be configured to automate and
control virtually an unlimited number of controlled outputs.
