Configuring Hubbell Occupancy and Daylight Sensors
for Unison Paradigm Systems
O ccup an cy Sensor Con figu rat ion
Bef or e you c an c onf igur e the oc c upanc y s ens or f unc tions in LightDes igner you m us t
first add an occupancy sensor to the co nfiguration. To do this select Hubbell as a
m anuf ac tur er in the Station Libr ar y; then s elec t the O MNIDT 2000 s ens or and dr ag
and drop it into the desired space. W ith the station added and selected from the
Control Sim ulate view, the station properties will display in the Property Editor.
(Pictured Below)
W ithin the configuration area, there are few items that m ay require changes based
on the desired functionality of the sensor.
S e ns or C onfi gura t ion:
This setting will determ ine how the sensor responds to occupancy detection.
There are 6 common modes to use. Based on the desired functionality you will
need to set this field using the table below.

Note: Adaptive Learning allows the sensor to de termine false occupancy triggers over time to
provide more efficient performance and energy conservation; when enabled, the occupancy
sensor will mitigate false triggers after 72 hours of operation.

W ith these properties set as required , expand the occupancy sensor in the Browser
(Pictured here)
This will display control action information in the property editor. (Pictured here)

action that can be assigned to a button on a station. W hen using simulation control,
or using LiveControl, the State property indicates what the current position of the
sensor is. Occupancy =Down, No Occupancy = Up
Dayligh t Sensor Con figu ration
Bef or e you c an c onf igur e the daylight s ens or func tions in LightDes igner you m us t
first add a daylight sensor controller to the configuration. To do this select Hubbell
as a m anuf ac tur er in the Station Libr ar y; then s elect the LX PSCMLP ( Link Power ) or
LXPSCMFT (Aux Power) sensor controller and drag and drop it into the desired
space. Either sensor controller will support any of three sensors for Indoor,
O utdoor or Sk ylight us e
Note: Either sensor controller can be used with an indoor, outdoor, or skylight
sensor unit; it is not important during conf iguration which physical sensor is
used.
W ith the sensor controller added and selected, expand the station in the browser
( s hown below) . T he c onf igur ation s ettings will be dis pla yed in the Pr opert y Editor .
Select the Lux Input portion of the Photo Sensor to display the sensor properties in
the Property Editor. (Pictured here)

P e rc e nt C ha nge :
Determines what percentage change is made with each step. For example a
setting of 5% means the electric light level will change in 5% increments until
the target Level is achieved. The interval of change is dependent on the Fade
T ime pr opert y.
D e la y ti m e:
Sets how long the system must wait after detecting a change before any level
c hanges will tak e effec t. T his pr events the s ys tem fr om c hanging output to the
elec tr ic light level when a s hadow pass es the s ens or or a c loud pas s es by.
Ta rge t Le ve l:
Sets the desired overall reading the sensor should maintain in lux
S e ns it iv it y Le ve l:
Sets the amount of the m easured light (in lux) must deviate from the specified

Fa de Ti m e:
Sets the Fade Time used between Change St eps in seconds.
V a l ue:
W hen in Live Contr ol, and c onnec ted to the c ontr ol s ys tem , the value f ield will
display the actual level the photocell is detecting in lux. This field is useful in
configuring the above values during commissioning.
