LIGHTING CONTROLLERS
The Zone controller (ZC3) and dimming Scene Controller (DSC) are configurable wall
mounted devices that provide local on/off or dimming control over lighting zones.
Utilizing a standard single-gang form factor, the ZC3 and DSC are low voltage lighting
controllers that connect to the Encelium ECS system through GreenBus™ cable with
standard RJ-45 connectors. Each device can be set-up and modified through
Encelium’s Polaris software interface.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
ZONE CONTROLLER (ZC3)
This illustration shows how each component is
easily integrated into the Encelium Energy Control
System. Each light fixture, sensor and lighting
controller is daisy-chained back to the Energy
Control Unit (ECU) using prefabricated ‘click & go’
GreenBus™ communication cabling. ECUs typically
control individual floors and are linked via an
Ethernet Network. Internet or LAN connection allows
Windows floor plan based control software to be
operated anywhere on the network. For reference,
the component shown on this data sheet is
highlighted.
The ZC3 is a three zone, software configurable lighting controller that provides on/off
switching for up to three lighting zones. It is generally located at entry points to a floor or
department and is used to “activate” or “de-activate” a lighting zone. The zone status is
indicated by an LED display with yellow indicating ON and blue indicating OFF.
Where lighting zones are controlled by a time schedule (rather than by occupancy
sensors), the ZC3 also allows manual override of the time schedule by simply “reactivating” the zone about to be shut down. During shut down mode, the ZC3 will
alternately flash blue and yellow LED’s to indicate to occupants that an override is easy.

PERSONAL CONTROL SOFTWARE (PCS)
Personal Control Software (PCS) is an application which enables individuals in a building to
control lighting levels in their workspace from their own desktop PC. The user easily
accesses PCS by clicking on a light bulb icon appearing in the system tray found on the lower
right hand side of their PC screen. With this application, the user can control the light level of
each fixture in their workspace or can control all of the fixtures together as a group. Preset
lighting scenes may be stored, recalled and modified from this application to suit the
individual’s personal preferences or task at hand.

PCS can also be used to control light levels in larger spaces such as boardrooms, conference
rooms or auditoriums. In addition to the dimming functionality, PCS can be used to simply
turn individual fixtures on or off within that same workspace. Users can only control light
fixtures assigned to their workspace according to the configuration of the system.

Communication with Encelium lighting control equipment is established through a
connection to the existing local area network. PCS also has the unique capability of acting as
a “virtual occupancy sensor” for the system. By detecting keyboard or mouse activity on
each PC, PCS provides additional occupancy information to the system to ensure that lights
remain in the desired state while a workspace is occupied.

ENCELIUM PERSONAL CONTROL SOFTWARE (PCS/PCW)
WEB ENABLED PERSONAL CONTROL SOFTWARE (PCW)
For those clients that desire personal lighting control from their desktop without the
installation of the Personal Control Software application on each PC (or without a direct
connection to their computer networks), Encelium offers an Adobe Flash web interface that
mirrors the functionality of PCS (PCW).

Each individual can access the interface through their web browser and achieve the same
functionality and utility as with PCS with the exception of the “virtual occupancy sensor”
feature which is not available with PCW. The PCW user interface is similar to that of PCS
but utilizes HTML such that it will be compatible with virtually any web browser, computer
operating system or network security settings.
The individual fixture dimming control, on/off switching and ability to save and modify preselected lighting scenes is identical to that of PCS. PCS is generally recommended over
PCW so that users can take advantage of the virtual occupancy sensor feature of PCS.

The DSC is a three scene, single zone dimming lighting controller that provides
customized light level control in areas such as boardrooms, conference rooms,
private offices and other areas requiring architectural dimming. The DSC enables
manual dimming of light levels or the recall of customized lighting “scenes” by the
push of a button. Scene configuration can be changed either directly on the DSC or
via Encelium’s Polaris Software.
