7" Modero Widescreen Touch Panels
Making the most of the Automated Brightness Control feature (DIM Mode)
Please follow the steps below to set up Automated Brightness Control:
1. Set the lighting conditions in the room to maximum (turn On all the lights).
2. Set the Maximum Panel Brightness, from the Setup page, to a comfortable level.
3. Open the Sensors Setup page (FIG. 90) from the Protected Setup menu section.
4. Move around the panel and block the direct or indirect light from the room fixtures with your
body. Take note of the drop in the lighting level being detected by the panel in response to your
movements.
5. Set the Maximum brightness of the Dimmer (Dim Mode Max Level) below the detected drop.
This will make sure that the panel does not react to variations in the lighting conditions of a
normal working environment.
6. Set the minimum lighting conditions in the room (not complete darkness but the minimal
lighting setup, unless complete darkness is an “operational option” for the room).
Sensor Setup Page Elements (Cont.)
Motion Sensor: Provides the following fields:
• The Motion Detection field displays a reactive button that changes color
(illuminates) and displays the words "Motion Detected" when motion is
detected by the Modero panel’s front motion sensor.
• The Motion Sensor Port field indicates the port used to report the motion
sensor channel back to the NetLinx Master (set in TPD4) (read-only).
• The Motion Sensor Channel field indicates the channel used to report the
motion sensor channel back to the NetLinx Master (set in TPD4) (read-only).
Wake Panel On Motion
Sense:
The Wake Panel Sensitivity relates to the sensitivity of the motion sensor to
detect motion and wake the panel accordingly.
• Toggle the Enable/Enabled button to either active/inactive this feature:
- Enable - activates this feature. Activating this feature reactivates the
panel from a panel timeout (sleep) mode.
- Enabled - (illuminated when selected) deactivates this feature and
makes the panel use the specified Display Timeout value set on the
Setup Page.
• Use the Wake Panel UP/DN buttons to alter the sensitivity value.
- Range = 0 - 100.
• The horizontal WAKE PANEL SENSITIVITY bargraph indicates the current
motion sensitivity value associated with waking the panel from a timeout.
There is a relationship between the motion sensor and the panel sleep feature. If a
panel is set to Sleep Mode, there is a time delay before the motion sensor is activated
to detect motion. By creating a time delay to the detection, this allows a user to set
the sleep mode and leave the panels’ detection range. In this way, the panel doesn’t
awake immediately after the sleep is active and you move away.
Sitting in front of the panel, you should be able to comfortably see someone sitting
behind the panel without being “blinded” by the panel.
The maximum (upper level) of the dimmer should be at least 15% lower than the
maximum detected level.
