PROGRAMMING OVERVIEW
This guide is for programming Version 3 detectors or later. If you are not sure what version of detector you
have please contact CP Electronics Technical Support.

Some parameters are available for certain products only.

The functionality of programmable devices is controlled by a number of parameters which can be configured and
changed by the following devices:

l UHS5 Infrared Handset

l UNLCDHS Infrared Handset with LCD display

All parameters can be programmed using the UNLCDHS handset and are listed in this document; only some can
be programmed using the UHS5 handset.

Basic UNLCDHS handset operation

1. Press ON/OFF
and hold for 3 seconds to turn the handset on.

2. Select the product family from the main PRODUCT FAMILY menu and press .

3. Either select the specific product or Generic Product and press . Generic Product lists all the
parameters used within the family, but some might not be available or applicable for all products.

4. Select the parameter group to program and press .

5. Select the parameter using and .

6. Enter parameter values. There is no need to press after entering a number.

7. Point the handset directly at the device and press to send the currently selected parameter, or press and

hold to send all parameters in the current menu.

Each device is fitted with an LED that flashes when it successfully receives a valid command - it won't flash if the
parameter doesn't apply to the device or the value is out of range. The device then waits 5 seconds before
processing the command (enabling more efficient use of macros), and then flashes again to indicate completion. If
you switch the device off during this 5 second period, any pending command will be lost.

Detector Params
Parameter Default Range/ Description
Option

Detection Mode Pres Pres Select Pres to turn lights on when movement is detected and
(Presence) / off when movement ceases. Select Abs to turn lights off when
Abs (Absence) movement ceases, but the lights must be manually turned on
by a switch or handset first.

Timeout 20 0 - 99 minutes How long the lights stay on for after movement has stopped.

This sets both Timeout (channel 1) and Timeout (channel 2)

to the same value.

Select 0 for a 10 second delay (use for commissioning only).

Abs Recovery (secs) 10 0 - 99 seconds Sets a period for a detector in Absence mode to operate in
Presence mode after lights are turned off. This enables a
person to use movement to retrigger lights which have
switched off while they are still in the room. If Abs Recovery
(secs) is set to a non-zero value you should also set Inhibit
(secs) to 1 to detect any occupancy immediately.

Sensitivity On 9 1-9 Sensitivity level for detecting further movement when the
lights are already on. 1 = minimum, 9 = maximum (least
movement required to trigger the lights).

(UHS5 sets Sensitivity On and Sensitivity Off to the same

value.)

Sensitivity Off 9 1-9 Sensitivity level for detecting any movement when the lights
are off. 1 = minimum, 9 = maximum (least movement required
to trigger the lights)..

(UHS5 sets Sensitivity On and Sensitivity Off to the same

value.)

▪6▪
Parameter Default Range/ Description
Option

Manual Timeout 10 0 - 99 minutes How long the lights stay off after they have been turned off
using a switch or handset before returning to the automatic
Timeout operation.

The following examples are for a detector in presence mode

withTimeout set to 15 minutes and Manual Timeout to 3
minutes:

Example 1:
When the user leaves the room they switch the light off.
The lights stay off for 3 minutes even someone walks
back into the room. The sensor will revert to automatic
after 3 minutes, and then walking back in the room will
turn the lights on - the lights will then stay on until no
movement has been detected for 15 minutes.
Example 2:
The user turns the lights off but stays in the room (for
example to give a presentation). Every time a movement
is detected, the 3 minute timeout period is retriggered, but
if no movement is detected for this period operation
reverts to automatic. This means the lights may turn on
inadvertently during the presentation if the occupants are
still for 3 minutes, so you should adjust the manual
timeout carefully.

Walk Test LED Off On / Off When set to On a red LED on the sensor flashes when
movement is detected. Use this feature to check for adequate
sensitivity levels.

Disable Detect No Yes/ No Disables presence/absence detection, so that the detector

can't control switching but can control dimming output. Use
this mode when the unit is for maintained illuminance only.

Relay State when Off On / Off If Disable Detect is set Yes, setting Relay State when Det
Det Disabled Disabled to On keeps the channel 1 relay output closed.
Setting it to Off keeps the relay open.

Power Up State Yes Yes/No Select No for a 30 second delay after initial power up before
the detector starts detecting and changing outputs.

Select Yes for no delay - the detector will always power up

detecting.

Inhibit (secs) 4 1 - 99 seconds The time to wait after the detector turns lights off before it can
retrigger them. If using the device in Absence mode, set this
time to 0.

Lux Learn Level 0 0 - 999 Use with the Readback function to get the lux level the unit is
currently reading. Press Send to update the Light Level (MI)
parameter with this value.

Auto Brightness % 20 0 - 100 (0 = Value used to set Lux On Level and Lux Off Level
disabled) automatically.

Lux Off Level is set to the Auto Brightness % percent above

Light Level (MI) (for example if Auto Brightness % is set to
30 and Light Level (MI) set to 600, Lux Off Level becomes
780 (600 + 30%).

Lux On Level is always set to (Auto Brightness % -10)

percent above Light Level (MI). In the above example, Lux
On Level becomes 720 (600 + 20%).

Lux On Level 999 0 - 999 Sets a minimum ambient light level below which lights are
turned on by movement.

The Lux Off Level value must always be greater than the Lux
On Level value.

Lux Off Level 999 0 - 999 Sets a maximum ambient light level above which lights
cannot be turned on by movement.

The Lux Off Level value must always be greater than the Lux
On Level value.

Lux On Time 0 0 - 99 minutes When the ambient light falls below Lux On Level, the time to
wait before switching on the lights. If at any time during the
timed delay the lux change reverses then the process is
cancelled.

If you try to turn lights on using a switch or handset, the lights

will go on regardless of ambient light level. However, if there
is sufficient ambient light, they will turn off again after Lux Off
Time.

Lux Off Time 0 0 - 99 minutes When the ambient light rises above Lux Off Level, the time to
wait before switching off the lights. If at any time during the
timed delay the lux change reverses then the process is
cancelled.

Lux Switch NZOL No Yes /No Enables and disables luminaire switching when Off Value is
set to a non-zero value.

(channel 1)

Abs Recovery (secs) 10 0 - 99 seconds Sets a period for a detector in Absence mode to operate in
Presence mode after lights are turned off. This enables a
person to use movement to retrigger lights which have
switched off while they are still in the room. If Abs Recovery
(secs) is set to a non-zero value you should also set Inhibit
(secs) to 1 to detect any occupancy immediately.

Relay Status Off On/ Off Use with the Readback function to see whether the detector
switch relay is currently in an On or Off state.

Lux On Level 999 0 - 999 Sets a minimum ambient light level below which lights are
turned on by movement.

The Lux Off Level value must always be greater than the Lux
On Level value.

Lux Off Level 999 0 - 999 Sets a maximum ambient light level above which lights
cannot be turned on by movement.

The Lux Off Level value must always be greater than the Lux
On Level value.

Lux On Time 0 0 - 99 minutes When the ambient light falls below Lux On Level, the time to
wait before switching on the lights. If at any time during the
timed delay the lux change reverses then the process is
cancelled.

If you try to turn lights on using a switch or handset, the lights

will go on regardless of ambient light level. However, if there
is sufficient ambient light, they will turn off again after Lux Off
Time.

Lux Off Time 0 0 - 99 minutes When the ambient light rises above Lux Off Level, the time to
wait before switching off the lights. If at any time during the
timed delay the lux change reverses then the process is
cancelled.

On Delay 0 0 - 99 minutes Enables Channel 1 to switch on a number of minutes after

Channel 2.

For example if a detector is controlling lighting on Channel 2

and air conditioning on Channel 1, when an occupant is
detected, the lighting turns on immediately, but the air
conditioning turns on after 5 minutes. If the area is vacated
and the detector times out before the delay, then the air
conditioning would never go on.
