The MaxLite Basic Control Remote is a versatile device designed for easy field commissioning of c-Max basic control nodes and controls-ready fixtures. It offers a comprehensive set of features for managing lighting systems, including dimming, daylight harvesting, and motion detection.

Function Description

The remote serves as an infrared (IR) controller for MaxLite's c-Max lighting control systems. It allows users to:

Set High Trim: Define the maximum light output for a fixture.
Bi-Level Dimming: Implement dim-to-off capability, reducing light output to a specified level before turning off.
Daylight Harvesting: Operate in either ON/OFF or Continuous Adjustment Mode (CAM) to automatically adjust light levels based on ambient light.
Manual Override Dimming: Manually adjust the desired dimming level.
Motion Detection Settings: Configure sensitivity, hold time, standby dim level, and standby time for motion-activated lighting.
Photocell Control: Enable ON/OFF control based on photosensor settings, suitable for outdoor applications.
Memory Modes: Store up to four sets of sensor settings (M1, M2, M3, M4) for quick recall and commissioning.
Test Mode: Temporarily activate a test mode for five minutes to verify settings.
Reset Mode: Revert the sensor to its original default settings.

The remote's "point and click" interface with visual cues simplifies the commissioning process. It is compatible with c-Max fixtures, and users can check the MaxLite website for specific compatibility information.

Usage Features

The remote offers several user-friendly features for configuring and controlling lighting:

Remote Settings (Default Values):

High Mode: Set maximum threshold value to 50%, 75%, or 100% (Default: 100%).
Sensitivity: Motion detection sensitivity can be set to OFF (no occupancy), LOW (50%), or HIGH (100%) (Default: HIGH).
Hold Time: Time luminaire stays at High Trim after no motion detected: 30 seconds, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, or 30 minutes (Default: 5 minutes).
Standby Dim: Light output level after hold time and no motion: 0%, 10%, 30%, or 50% (Default: 50%).
Standby Time: Duration luminaire stays at Standby Dim level before turning OFF: 10 seconds, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, or infinite (Default: 30 minutes).
Photocell: Turns luminaire ON/OFF based on photosensor settings: LOW (1FC), MEDIUM (20FC), or HIGH (50FC) (Default: PC OFF).

Commissioning (Memory Mode):

Select one of the four memory banks (M1, M2, M3, or M4).
Indicator lights on the remote will show current saved settings.
Adjust settings using the buttons in the gray area (HIGH, SENSITIVITY, HOLD TIME, STANDBY DIM, STANDBY TIME, PHOTOCELL).
Point the remote at the desired luminaire and press "SEND".
A successful configuration is indicated by the luminaire flashing. Note: Changes made to sensor settings are automatically saved to the selected memory bank, overriding previous settings. For multiple luminaires, select the configured memory mode and repeat steps 4 and 5.

Light Control:

Turn Lights ON: Press "ON" to turn the luminaire on.
Turn Lights OFF: Press "OFF" to turn the luminaire off.
Manual Dimming Mode: Press "ON" (luminaire blinks), then use "DIM+" or "DIM-" to adjust the dimming level.
Continuous Adjustment Mode (CAM) / Daylight Harvesting:
1. Point the IR remote to the luminaire.
2. Enter Manual Dimming Mode (press "ON", luminaire blinks, then use "DIM+" or "DIM-" to adjust the desired light level).
3. Press "CAM". Indicator lights will show current saved settings. Only HIGH, SENSITIVITY, and HOLD TIME can be selected for CAM settings (Sensitivity should be LOW or HIGH). CAM is recommended with CN-RTPSW sensor only.
4. Review and adjust settings as necessary. Press "SEND".
5. Luminaire flashing confirms successful configuration. For multiple luminaires, repeat steps 1-5 for each luminaire individually.

Test Mode:

Press "TEST" to enter. Luminaire flashes twice. Lasts five minutes, then returns to previous setting.
- Default Hold Time: 2 Seconds
- Default Standby Dim: 50%
- Default Standby Time: 2 Seconds

Reset Mode:

Press "RESET" to enter. Luminaire blinks to indicate reset is complete. Sensor defaults to original settings.

Maintenance Features

Battery Replacement:

Flip the remote over.
Push the small tab on the left towards the center of the remote, and simultaneously pull the bigger tab in the center away from the remote. The battery tray will come loose.
Insert two (2) CR2032 batteries into the tray with the positive side facing up.
Once batteries are in place, insert the tray back into the remote.

Common User Errors (Battery Replacement):

Ensure the small tab on the battery tray is positioned correctly for proper fit.
Verify the positive side of the batteries is facing up; otherwise, the remote will not power on.
Do not pull only the center tab when opening the battery tray; both tabs must be engaged as instructed.
