Overview
The Unison Paradigm
®
Light Sensor provides light level measurement to the
connected Paradigm control system. The control system receives the measurements
to maintain a programmed lighting output in both dimmed and switched lighting
systems.
The Paradigm Light Sensors are available in three models:
•
P-LS - Light Sensor with Controller
•
P-LSC - Light Sensor Controller Only
•
P-LSH - Light Sensor Only
Each controller supports an individual pair of Light Sensors and is available in neutral
white or black finish.
A light sensor may be installed within the controller or installed remotely, using up to
1,000 feet (304m) of 16 AWG wire per controller. When using a pair of light sensors,
both sensors transmit their light readings to a single controller which provides an
averaged reading to the connected Paradigm control system.
Wire Specification
Controller
The Paradigm Light Sensor utilizes LinkConnect to power the sensor and to provide
data to and from the connected Paradigm control system.
LinkConnect is topology-free and polarity independent. You can install your data runs
in any desired combination of bus, star, loop, and home-run. ETC recommends using
Belden 8471 (or equivalent) wire. The total combined length of a LinkConnect wire
run may not exceed 1,640 feet (500m), with a maximum distance of 1,312 feet (400m)
between any two devices.
