Term
Explanation
Absence scene
Scene in an area where absence is detected. Any scene can be defined as
an absence scene.
Action timeframe
Time during which a function is enabled (e.g. presence linking). The action
timeframe can be defined using timeframes and a dead time.
Balance luminaire
Luminaire consisting of at least two lamps, one for direct lighting and one for
indirect lighting. For Balance luminaires, the light balance can be changed in
addition to the intensity.
Blinds (type 3)
Blinds which can move to different positions. This type of blinds does not
have slats or has slats that cannot be adjusted.
Blinds (type 3+4)
Blinds which can move to different positions and have adjustable slats.
Blinds (type 4)
Blinds with slats – the position of the blinds is fixed, but the slats are
adjustable.
Building service
Component of the building's technical equipment which is part of the
building's infrastructure. In LUXMATE building management systems, building
services are controlled via modes of operation. A building service can be
controlled via more than one mode of operation. Examples of building services
are lighting and blinds.
Contrast sensor
Sensor that presents the environment as a contrast image
DALI load
Typical power consumption of a subscriber on the DALI control line.
DALI-2
Expansion of the existing interface log for digital communication between
control gears for the lighting system – DALI (Digital Addressing Lighting
Interface). Expansion for control devices as per IEC 62386 and addition of
new commands and functions. More detailed information can be found on the
website of the Digital Illumination Interface Alliance (DiiA).
Delay time
Time during which a specific threshold must be breached in order to trigger a
response. The response or the event that follows is only permitted after this
time has expired.
Detail control
A way of controlling devices either individually or in groups
Dimming range
A range in which the intensity of the luminaires can be smoothly adjusted. It is
restricted to the physical upper and lower limits. Setting a lower and upper
dimming limit can limit the dimming range further.
eD device
Sensors, control points, input devices and control units that are used in DALI
systems. Each of these devices has its own address (0 to 63) which can be
used to operate it individually.
