AMX NXD/NXT-1700VG Using the Automated Brightness Control feature DIM Mode, Motion Sensor, Sense

Firmware Pages and Descriptions

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	The Wake Panel Sensitivity relates to the sensitivity of the motion sensor to
Sense:	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.
Dim Mode Minimum	Allows you to alter the sensitivity of the Modero panel light sensor:
Brightness:	• Toggle the Enable/Enabled button to either active/inactive the DIM Mode
	feature:
	- Enable - activates this feature. Once active (by receiving a value below the
	Dim Mode Min Level value), the current light level ramps to the DIM Mode
	value within a few seconds.
	- Enabled - (illuminated when selected) deactivates this feature.
	• Use the DIM Mode Brightness UP/DN buttons to alter the DIM level.
	- Range = 0 - 100.
	- The lower the value, the darker a room must be before the LCD Brightness
	value changes to conform to a DIM room (and vice versa with a
	higher value).
	• The DIM Mode Minimum Brightness bargraph indicates the current DIM
	Mode Brightness level.
	- This level corresponds to the brightness level of the LCD used when
	the DIM Mode is active.
	- The Brightness value of the panel in a DIM room (low-light) is much
	less than that of a Non-DIM (well to brightly-lit) where the LCD Brightness
	must be higher to display the screen content clearly.

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.

Using 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.

Sitting in front of the panel, you should be able to comfortably see someone sitting behind the panel without being “blinded” by the panel.
