Harvest natural light reduce artificial through switching or dimming

Echoflex controllers can handle all of your daylighting needs

Echoflex controller's can learn a self powered, wireless photo sensors. As light sensing is specific to the space, each controller can only learn one photo sensor. This sensor will transmit the light level to the controller to take action on based on its set points which are established through a very easy commissioning process.

A photo sensor, as it is a unique ID, can be learned to as many controllers as are in range - and this signal can be repeated for further transmission distance.

The photo sensor can be one of the 30 devices learned into a controller and works very well in conjunction with personal switch control and occupancy detection. 

Stepped Daylight Harvesting

Using the TAP 17C photo sensor, controllers can be commissioned to go off when the area it is controlling has enough natural light that the artificial lights can be turned off. Atrium and outer windows of a commercial office space, great rooms in homes, industrial warehouses with large natural light availability can all be controlled using this sensor. 

Zones of lighting can be shut down incrementally as natural light level to the space increases and then returned to operation as the natural light diminishes. Dual ballast fixtures for bi-level switching can create great energy savings using this device coupled with a smart relay controller.

Dimming Daylight Harvesting

The greatest savings come from dimming fixtures and this simply requires a dimming controller. Echoflex has created a controller with a 0-10V output signal to control these types of fixtures. Smooth ramping or dimming changes in light level create great energy savings to a space without compromising tenant comfort.
