If your project contains: · Static White Light: Lutron recommended normal
case settings is as follows: Occupancy / Vacancy sensors:
o In spaces with a wall control, occupancy / vacancy sensors will be set up as a vacancy sensor (only automatically turning off the lights) with 15-minute, +/- 1-minute, time-out.
Daylight sensors: o Calibrated in such a manner to provide 40 fc, +/- 5 fc, 3 ft (91 cm) off the floor at a specific point in the room, typically the center of a desk or directly under a fixture. Note the consistency of light distribution throughout the space is highly dependent upon fixture design and placement.
Wall controls: o One button: Toggle lights on and off. o Two button: Top button will turn lights on; bottom button will turn lights off. o More than two buttons, for dimmer zones: Top buttons will set the lights to different levels; bottom button will turn the lights off.

Dynamic White SoO-Lutron recommended,
normal use case settings. o For Ketra:
· Static Scenes will be programmed to a default color temperature of 3000K.
· Scene Intensity set for 3000 K. CCT shall be controlled automatically per Lutron’s default Natural Show curve. Fixture CCT shall begin ramping from 2700 K starting 6:00 am, completing the ramp up to 4000 K 9:00 am. Fixture CCT shall begin ramping down from 4000 K at 5:00 pm, completing the ramp down to 2700 K at 8:00 pm. Manual Controls will activate scenes 1-4 with R/L.
o For T Series and Tunable White DALI: · CCT Zoning. The CCT of tunable white fixtures in this space shall be controlled as a single zone. · Tunable white fixture CCT shall be controlled automatically per Lutron’s default Automatic CCT curve. Fixture CCT shall begin ramping from 2700 K starting 60 minutes before sunrise, completing the ramp up to 4000 K 120 minutes after sunrise. Fixture CCT shall begin ramping down from 4000 K 120 minutes before sunset, completing the ramp down to 2700 K 60 minutes after sunset. · Return to Automatic CCT curve. The Automatic CCT curve shall not be overridden by the controls in the space.
o Daylight sensors shall only modify intensity and not CCT.
o Occupancy / vacancy sensors: · In spaces with remotes and / or wall controls, sensors will be set up as vacancy sensors (only automatically turning off the lights). · In spaces without remotes and / or wall controls, sensors will set up as occupancy sensors (automatically turning the lights on and off the Natural Show).

o Manual Controls: · Intensity and CCT keypads and remotes. Single Gang [Insert keypad / remote brand name / model number] for control of Intensity only. Button engraving and programming, from top to bottom, shall be “High” (set intensity to 100%), “Medium” (set intensity to 50%), “Low” (set intensity to 25%), Off (set intensity to 0%).
o Intensity Timeclock Events: · User-defined timeclock events shall not be used in the space.
o Emergency / Egress: · In the event of an emergency/egress situation, tunable white fixtures designated as Emergency / Egress will have their intensity automatically set to 100% and their CCT automatically set to 50% of the fixture’s CCT range.
DMX- Lutron Recommended, normal use case settings: o Pre-programmed DMX scenes will not be provided unless already specified. If not already specified, coordination of DMX scenes to be performed on-site and may incur additional cost. o Intensity Considerations: · Occupancy / Vacancy sensing: Occupancy sensors shall only modify intensity and shall not modify color. Occupancy sensors shall turn on lighting automatically when the space is occupied and shall turn off / reduce lighting automatically 15 minutes after the space is vacated. o Daylighting: · Daylighting is not an option for controlling DMX loads.
o Manual Controls: · Intensity and color keypads and remotes. Single Gang [Insert keypad/remote brand name / model number] for control of intensity and color. · Button coordination to be performed on-site unless previously specified.
o Emergency / Egress: · In the event of an emergency / egress situation, DMX fixtures designated as Emergency / Egress will have all intensity levels set to 255.
o Occupancy/Vacancy sensor: · Verification of proper installation and operation. If a sensor is not installed in accordance with Lutron procedures, Lutron will not continue startup activities on that sensor until the installation issues are corrected. · Calibration will be performed at system startup. Final adjustment is the responsibility of the end user since it is very dependent on furniture placement, window treatments, outside weather conditions, and space usage. End user will be trained on making final adjustments. Lutron will not finetune occupancy sensors to detect minor movements in the space nor to detect motion that contributes to false-trips.
