Chromatic Mode (Optional)
With chromatic mode inactive, the system drives both zones independently according
to the schedule (master mode) or the 0-10V inputs (slave mode).
When activating chromatic mode, the system switches to a single zone but adds an
additional set point for Kelvins is added to the schedule (master mode) and the “Kelvin
at x%” settings are used for the 0-10V inputs (slave mode).
Chromatic mode is used with bi-colored lights. These lighting systems are rated with
two Kelvin values, one for each color. Lights with the low Kelvin must be connected to
output 1 while lights with the high Kelvin are connected to output 2.
According to the color and level set points, the CEL-200 calculates an approximation of
the power to apply to each output. Many factors will affect the color rendition of your
lighting. The type of luminaires used plays a significant role, as well as the external
light that can infiltrate, and all the colors present inside your building will affect the color
rendering of your lighting system.
The chromatic mode will perform best when used with bi-colored lights ranging from
2000K to 7000K. If you use lights with different colors, you’ll have to compensate
slightly to get the best results. The best way is to test the system with a light sensor
that can measure the light color in Kelvins and compare the results. You can then
adjust your set points accordingly.
Light Sensor (Optional)
The DLS-02 light sensor can be connected to the CEL-200 to provide continuous
readings of the intensity and color of your lighting. When the sensor is connected, the
main screen will display the lighting level in Lux and the lighting color in Kelvins. These
values are for informational purposes only and have no effect on the control of the
color or lighting level.
