10 Wireless TimeClock Configuration Guide
Mask - defines an event where controllers in a group ignore input from a
type of transmitter. For example, a Mask will ensure that vacancy detected
by an occupancy sensor does not turn the lights OFF during normal office
hours.
Temp Config - defines a temporary configuration for a designated group of
controllers and channel(s). For example, modify the time-out period during
working hours so that lights turn OFF when a space is vacant after two
hours, not the standard configuration of 15 minutes. See Temporary Con-
figuration on page 10.
None - identifies an event number that has no defined Action; it has no
effect. The factory default for all event numbers is None.
Stage an Event
The staged event feature can be used to connect multiple events in a series.
It triggers one event to activate a sequence of other events.
Example: You can create Event 1 to set a scene for a group on
Tuesday mornings. If you want another scene for another group at
the same time, defined as Event 2, you can simply enter Event 2 as
the Next Event in the definition for Event 1.
Using this feature effectively requires some organized planning, so consider
using the planning guide. See Compliance on page29.
Manual Override
Events are created on a schedule for a purpose and are intended to stay in
effect. However for safety reasons, any active event can be replaced by a
manual control setting. For example, janitorial staff turn the lights ON. The
Sweep feature repeats the event setting to remove any manual overrides.
See Sweep Interval on page19. Even without a Sweep, manual control set-
tings are replaced by the next scheduled event, unless there is an active
Hold in place.
Temporary Configuration
Temp Config is a type of Action that provides a means to temporarily
modify some configuration settings on a group of controllers.
For example, standard behavior for controllers is to shut OFF the lights
when a space becomes unoccupied. Instead of shutting the lights OFF com-
pletely, Temp Config can be used to dim the lights to a specified level.
Defining two separate Actions, a Set and a Revert, in a pair of events
provides a temporary configuration. Using the example above, a Temp Con-
fig Set Action can be used to invoke the “dim lights when unoccupied”
behavior at the beginning of the work day. After hours, a Temp Config
Revert Action is used to return the controller to its default behavior (lights
OFF when the space is unoccupied).
