SensaModular
Simple, cost effective and easy to
install for single-room lighting control
Introduction
Thorn’s Indoor Lighting Controls portfolio is
grouped into three distinct usage types
1
2
1. SensaLite features Thorn luminaires
with built-in sensors and remote sensors,
offering standard presence detection,
daylight-linking and infra-red control.
SensaLite is the first step to comfort and
energy saving, and is used for small
office applications, simple classrooms,
corridors etc:
•SwitchLite consists of switching
presence detectors and photocells
•RotaryDIM offers precise manual
control via a wall plate
•SensaDigital covers both features:
Daylight-linked dimming, presence
detection and manual override via an
infra-red handheld controller

2. SensaModular is a portfolio of
lighting control products designed for
single room applications. The ‘modular’
concept allows customers to build-up a
set of components tailored specifically to
their needs:
•U
sers can select modules for creating
light scenes, enabling daylight-linking,
integrating presence detection,
switching, scene setting and infra-red
control
• Just the components needed are taken
and connected to, up to three groups of
dimmable luminaires via a controller
3. SensaAdvanced is a lighting
management system for larger projects
and those requiring greater levels of
comfort:
•For all types of dimmable or
switchable ballasts or lamps
• Daylight and Presence link
•Integration of blinds,
screens and room partitions
•Different user interfaces like touch
panels, wall units or PC
• Scene setting
• Time and Dynamic management
• A/V interface
What is SensaModular?
SensaModular is for everyone looking for a versatile
product that is easy to install and understand

dim/brighten luminaire groups
Unlike traditional dimmer pack
or building-wide solutions, it is
a simple, cost effective modular
solution capable of saving
time and labour for all indoor
single-room applications with
two or three luminaire groups.
Its modularity is based on the
controller which interfaces with
various combinations of scene
plates, sensors, switches and
receivers to operate groups of
luminaires, thus offering users
flexibility and comfort with the
reassurance that all components
integrate fully with each other.
Key benefits are:
1Different ways of
presence linking, allowing
SensaModular to be adapted
to the required detection
pattern, and different
operation modes.
2.Three methods of daylightlinking, making it easy to
tailor SensaModular to the
application, especially in terms
of size, usage and ceiling
height.
3.Scene setting via: Scene plate,
Infra-red handheld control
or Switch input device.
4.DSI/DALI auto detection
outputs (patented) for
controlling luminaire groups,
the large SensaModular
controller allows three
digital outputs, the small
controller two.
5.Easy installation via polarityfree 2-wire connections,
using standard mains rated
installation material.

Performance, Efficiency and Comfort
(PEC) – for a better lit environment
SensaModular evokes the spirit of Thorn Lighting’s
dynamic, results-orientated PEC programme
The programme is based on
the principle that Performance,
Efficiency and Comfort determine
the effectiveness of lighting, its
impact on the people using it,
and its impact on the natural
environment. SensaModular
delivers the right light on the
right place at the right time.
Performance: Providing the
best visual effectiveness
•Dimming and Scene setting
gives flexibility of the lighting
configuration, therefore
SensaModular ensures
good task lighting wherever
the task is.
4
Efficiency: Conserving
energy and effort, reducing
CO2 emissions and waste,
providing lighting that is practical
and efficient to install, operate
and maintain.
•Presence-link conserves energy
by ensuring unnecessary
lighting is turned off.
•Daylight-link conserves energy
by ensuring the task is lit to
the correct level and not over
lit, irrespective of the source
of light.
•Maintenance control
is provided with the
SensaModular multi-sensors,
i.e. constant task illuminance
is given throughout the
maintenance cycle of the
lighting, conserving energy
and easing the maintenance
requirements.
• Polarity-free connections make
SensaModular quick and
easy to install with reduced
possibility of errors.
• There are two screwdriver
adjustable rotary switches
on the front of the controller,
which will set the operation
mode and off delay time for
the presence-link function.
This makes commissioning
quick, easy and safe being
operated from the ground.
• SensaModular gives us a
lighting system we can
manage effectively and
ensures that the whole lighting
performs as designed.
Comfort: giving people
satisfaction and stimulation
•Personalised light, either with
dimming or with scene setting,
allows the ambience of the
space to be altered to suit the
usage requirements.
•SensaModular allows the
variability of the light through
time, giving a more interesting
and stimulating environment.

Savings potential
The CELMA (Federation of National Manufacturers Associations for Luminaires and Electrotechnical
Components for Luminaires in the European Union) highlights the potential energy savings that dimmable
electronic ballasts, day-light link and presence-link offer, as shown in the picture above. SensaModular
allows the realisation of these energy savings in every single room indoor lighting application.

Key Benefit - Tailored-fit presence-link
The most expensive light is the one that
is still on in unoccupied rooms or areas.
SensaModular enables you to automatically
conserve energy whenever people are absent,
allowing you to choose between three options:
Using one SensaModular multi-sensor per luminaire group
•The SensaModular multi-sensors provide a presence-link function that
may be allocated to the luminaire groups individually.
•This option is perfect for applications with zoned lighting, e.g. group
offices, and considers the recommendations regarding presence-link
stated in EN 15193, asking for zoned presence-link in applications
larger than 30m².
Using one SensaModular multi-sensor for all luminaire
groups
•This option provides a presence-link function for all luminaire groups
connected to the SensaModular controller, and is ideal in small
applications where daylight-link and infra-red control are required.
Using one SwitchLite presence detector for all luminaire
groups
•Any standard 230 VAC presence detector, e.g. one of the
Thorn SwitchLite portfolio, can be used as an alternative to the
SensaModular multi-sensors. This can be connected to the dedicated
“PD” input of the controller and is allocated to all luminaire groups.
•This option is perfect for any application requiring a different
detection pattern to that of the SensaModular multi-sensor, for
instance corridors and staircases, and also for applications
where no daylight-link and infra-red control is needed.

Deactivated presence-link
SensaModular allows all
connected presence detectors
or the presence-link function of
all connected SensaModular
multi-sensors to be deactivated.
This mode also helps when the
SensaModular installation is
commissioned.
Off Delay time After detecting
absence SensaModular will wait
for a configurable Off time delay
before fading to the absence
setting specified with the set
operation mode. This time delay
can be between 0 seconds and
1 hour.
Note: If a standard presence
detector (e.g. SwitchLite) is used,
its own Off Delay time is added
to that set on the SensaModular
controller.

Staircase function
By connecting a standard
momentary action switch to
the SensaModular controller’s
presence detector input,
a ‘staircase’ function can
be realised. Activating the
momentary action switch
announces presence and the
lighting is switched On.
After the set Off delay time the
lighting is faded to Off, if the
operation mode is set to On/
Off, or alternatively faded to a
corridor illuminance level of 10%,
if the mode is set to On/Corridor.

aimed at the working plane to register the
light level.
For daylight-linking one photocell sensor
is installed on the ceiling and aimed in the
direction of the window to register incoming
daylight.
Advantages:
Advantages:
For the daylight-linking of smaller rooms,
e.g. a single office or meeting room,
one multi-sensor for all luminaire groups
is installed on the ceiling, aimed at the
working plane to register the light level.
•Supports the recommendations stated in
EN 15193, which ask for daylight-linking
of zones smaller than 30m2, thus resulting
in a good rating of the installation for
‘building passport’ purposes
•Visual and physical intrusion on the
ceiling is kept to a minimum as only one
sensor is needed to register the flow
of daylight for up to three individually
controlled luminaire groups.
•Maintains illuminance despite aging
of lamps and dirt on luminaires.
•With only daylight to register
measurements are precise, thus
maximising daylight saving potential.
•Ideal for larger, zoned applications,
like group offices.
•SensaModular multi-sensor heads
combine daylight with presence linking
and infra-red control.
Points to consider:
•Measures daylight and artificial light
reflected from desktop – therefore
influenced by reflecting material
and colour.
•Several sensors needed (one per luminaire
group), therefore more obtrusive.
•Impact of overlapping detection zones.

25%
•Ideal for applications with luminaire
rows and/or ceiling heights of more than
3m, or where zoned presence-link is not
required, e.g. classrooms, industrial or
sports halls.
Points to consider:
•Does not consider aging of lamps and
luminaires becoming dirty.
•SensaModular photocell does not provide
presence-linking and infra-red control.
Advantages:
•For applications not requiring zoned
areas, visual and physical intrusion on
the ceiling is kept to a minimum as only
one sensor is needed to register the flow
of daylight for up to three individually
controlled luminaire groups.
•Maintains illuminance despite aging of
lamps and dirt on luminaires.
•The SensaModular multi-sensor head
combines daylight with presence-linking
and infra-red control.
Points to consider:
•Measures daylight and artificial light
reflected from one local desktop –
therefore influenced by reflecting material
and colour.
•Does not consider the recommendations
stated in EN 15193 in applications
larger than 30m².
Key Benefit - Scene setting
No application is used for only one activity or task:
Therefore SensaModular allows a user to set scenes
and to adapt the lighting to the different tasks.
Scene plate
With the wall recessed SensaModular scene plate three scenes as well
as the Off scene can be set and recalled. The active scene is visualised
with indicator LEDs integrated into the keys. Three pairs of keys are
used to dim and brighten the luminaire groups individually and a
further pair allow all luminaires to be dimmed or brightened. The scene
plate has a brass front in satin steel finish, matching back boxes are
available as accessories.
Infra-red handheld control
The SensaModular infra-red
handheld controller allows the
setting and recalling of three
scenes and the Off scene. The
whole lighting can be dimmed
and brightened via a rocker key,
or after using the pre-selection
buttons the luminaire groups
can be dimmed individually.
This device is also used to
allocate the SensaModular multisensors to the luminaire groups.
For the reception either the
SensaModular multi-sensors or
(if these are not planned in) the
SensaModular infra-red sensors
can be used.
Switch input device
As an alternative to the wallrecessed scene plate, standard
momentary action switches can
be used in conjunction with
the SensaModular switch input
device to recall three scenes and
the Off scene.

Key Benefit - DSI/DALI auto detection
SensaModular uses DSI/DALI auto detection luminaire outputs
(patented), and allows you to connect either:

•How are the luminaire groups arranged – in zones (e.g. using
recessed louvre luminaires) or in rows (e.g. using suspended
linear luminaires)?
• How high is the ceiling?
• Is daylight available and daylight-linking possible?
• Is presence-link also required?
Based on the answers to these questions you decide to select either:
• the SensaModular multi-sensors,
• or the SensaModular photocell perhaps combined with a SwitchLite
presence detector.
Comfort
Now choose any additional modular items:
•Do you want to set scenes? (Note: Scene 1 would be the daylightlinked one).
•If yes, would you prefer:
-The SensaModular Scene Plate, that allows you to brighten and
dim the luminaire groups individually and jointly, and to set and
recall three scenes plus Off? It also indicates the active scene.
This plate is perfect for meeting rooms, retail applications and
much more.
-Or an Infra-red handheld control? This would be optimal in any
office application. (Note: If you have not chosen a multi-sensor
head above, then you will need a Infra-red Sensor as well.)
-Or standard momentary action switches for recalling scenes? These
would interface via the SensaModular Switch Input into the system.
