System for Classrooms
System Overview: A simple to install, simple to use lighting system with daylight harvesting, occupancy
sensing, and ideal classroom lighting using high quality luminaires by Prudential Ltg. The Sense™
System provides glare-free lighting with excellent ceiling uniformity using only two rows of fixtures in a
typical 30’ x 30’ classroom, teacher control to toggle from general ambient lighting to manually dimmable
downlight appropriate for A/V presentations, and optional whiteboard luminaire control. In order to comply
with stringent energy codes, switching does not allow all three lamp rows to light simultaneously. Wireless
occupancy sensors, wall switches, and integrated daylight sensors require no additional wiring to the
fixtures. Sense™ System is ideal for retrofit, as well as new installations to offer substantial energy savings
while providing optimal lighting for the learning environment.
System Components:
High quality Luminaires: Pru15 and Wave2 are designed
specifically to meet or exceed CHPS (Collaborative for
High Performance Schools) standards for lighting and
energy usage. A variety of optional whiteboard luminaires
can be specified to integrate with the Sense™ System.
Fixture Integrated Daylight sensor: Photo sensor by
Philips controls up to twenty 0-10V dimming ballasts.
Ceiling mounted Occupancy sensor: Solar powered,
wireless, passive infrared (PIR) sensor by EnOcean Alliance
that turns all lights off if the classroom is unoccupied for 10
minutes. Lights are switched on manually at the door so they
are not unnecessarily tripped on by the sensor.
Master power switch: Battery-free, wireless rocker switch
by EnOcean Alliance at the classroom door, with manual-on
general mode, and manual-off all lamps.
Teacher control switch station: Battery-free, wireless
technology by EnOcean Alliance. One dual and one single
rocker switch, controlling General to A/V mode, Quiet mode
(one hour occupancy override), All off, and A/V mode
manual dimming. Optional whiteboard luminaire Control
Station has two double rocker switches.

Planning Information:
Motion Sensors: Ceiling mounted occupancy sensor has a walking motion radius of just over 20’ feet of coverage, or
about 1500 SF in a space with a 9-ft ceiling. Sensor is solar powered, with the charge lasting about 48 hours. Sensor is
set to power off all lamps if the room is unoccupied for 10 minutes. Luminaires are manually switched on at the classroom
door so that lights do not trip on unintentionally.
Daylight Harvesting Sensors: Fixture integrated daylight harvesting sensors
should be located over typical work surfaces, within 6-10 feet of the window. A typical daylighting zone is usually 15 feet in from the window wall. Specific site conditions will dictate the designation of dimming zones.
20’
10’
If fixture rows are parallel to windows, one daylight sensor can control the entire
window row. Inside fixture row may or may not need a daylight sensor, depending
on room conditions. One sensor can control up to twenty 0-10V dimming ballasts.
In the Sense™ System, only the outer lamp rows are controlled by the daylight
sensors. The center lamp row is dimmed manually at the Teacher Control Station.

Determining Row Types
Scenario A: Inner corridor side row is outside of the daylight dimming
zone. Only the center lamp row (A/V mode) dims manually from Teacher
Control Station. Window row has one daylight sensor controlling the outer
lamp rows for the entire fixture row. Center lamps for both rows dim
manually at the Teacher Control Station.
0DD - no daylight dimming; center lamp A/V dimming only.
1DD - one zone daylight dimming - entire row.

Scenario C: Rows are perpendicular to high windows, creating two
different daylight dimming zones, and one non-dimming zone. Each fixture
row has two sensors controlling the outer lamp rows within the dimming
zone. The rest of the outer lamp rows do not dim. The entire center lamp
row in both fixture rows dim manually at the Teacher Control Station.

Step1:
Specify your luminaire. For all the features of the Sense System, specify Wave2 or Pru15, with 3 lamp rows, D3C distribution, dual circuiting,
and the INTC (integrated controls) option. Indicate any other options such as extended cable lengths, acrylic dust cover, or emergency batteries.
If the A/V lighting mode feature is not necessary for the project needs, the other features of the system: the wireless switching, day light harvesting,
and occupancy sensing are still available when a 2-lamp system is specified.

Switching information:
Master Switch: Luminaires switch on manually at the classroom door. The single
rocker switch in the up position turns on the outer two rows of lamps in General
Lighting mode. The down position turns all lamps off.

The Teacher Control station: A dual-gang switch with one single rocker and one
dual rocker. The left dual rocker toggles between the General and A/V Lighting
modes. One touch in the upper left position, the outer two lamp rows are on for
General Lighting; in the lower left position, the outer lamp rows are off, and the center
lamp row comes on. The center lamp reflector directs light down to the work surface.
The single rocker allows the A/V mode lighting to dim to the teacher’s desired lighting
level by holding the single rocker in the up position to raise the light level, or in the
down position to lower it. One touch to the upper right dual rocker activates the Quiet
mode, allowing the teacher to override the occupancy sensor for one hour when students are taking a test or other times when there may not be enough movement in the
room to trigger the occupancy sensor to keep the lights on. Touch the lower right dual
rocker to turn all lamps off. If all lights are off, the teacher can turn on either the
General or A/V mode at the teacher station.
Optional Whiteboard Control: The right switch is a dual-gang rocker that turns on
the whiteboard luminaire in the up position. The whiteboard luminaire switches on only
at this station, but is controlled by the Occupancy Sensor, and will switch off with the
rest of the luminaires if the space is unoccupied for 10 minutes. If the Quiet mode is
activated, the occupancy sensor override applies to the whiteboard luminaire, as well
as the fixture rows, if the whiteboard light is switched on.

Installation and Commissioning:
All fixtures and wireless components arrive at the jobsite pre-programmed and labeled for a specific classroom. It is
imperative that these components are installed together in the correct classroom. Fixtures and components must be
installed per installation instructions and as per designer-approved Prudential Ltg. drawings.
Fixtures ship from the factory with short, flexible wires, a few inches long, extending out of the top of the fixture. These are
“antennae” to receive signals from the wireless devices and must remain outside the fixture. Do not cut or conceal them
within the fixture, as this will interfere with the wireless signals.
Occupancy Sensors and Wall Switches are wireless, and require no wiring at the jobsite. Occupancy sensors are ceiling
mounted and may be installed on hard ceilings or on ceiling tiles. Switches may be surface mounted in a standard switch
box, surface mounted with screws, or surface mounted with adhesive. Active range for the wireless devices is about 50
feet. Go to prulite.com for installation instructions for fixtures and components.
Adjusting the Sensor: Fixtures ship from the factory with sensors
set to dim when the ambient light exceeds 45 footcandles at the
workplane. The sensor is field adjustable by simply turning the bezel
to open or close the aperture.
