4 xCella Wireless Device Pairing Guide
Wireless Switch 1. With the lights o, tap the Up button to go to default on level of 70%1.
2. Alternatively, you may double tap Up to turn on the room to full brightness.
3. Press and hold the Up or Down button to begin continuously increasing or dimming the light level.
Release the button when the desired light level is reached.
4. Tap the Down to turn o with a smooth ramp down of light output before turning o.
5. Alternatively, you may double tap the down button to instantly turn o the light.
6. Wireless 3-way and Multi-Way switching are supported by pairing multiple switches.
Wireless Occupancy Sensor 1. When occupancy sensors are paired to the Remote Module, and no switches are paired, the sensors
will automatically turn the lights on to the default level of 70% when motion is detected.
2. The default occupancy time delay is 15 minutes. The time delay is reset by receiving motion-
detection heartbeat signals from the wireless occupancy sensor.
3. 1 minute before the time delay expires, the light indicates a “double blink warning” by quickly
dimming to 30%, back to the current level, again to 30%, and then back to the current level.
4. Multiple sensors can be paired to a single Remote Module to extend sensing coverage.
Wireless Switch and Occupancy
Sensor
1. Energy code-compliant vacancy sensing is automatically enabled when a switch and sensor are
paired to a Remote Module. This means that the lights must be turned on manually via the switch.
2. The lights will automatically be turned o following expiration of the occupancy time delay. The
timer resets whenever a switch button is pressed or motion is detected.
3. Lights automatically turn on if motion is detected during a grace period of 10 seconds after
automatic shuto.
4. Lights may be shut o manually via wireless switch.
Wireless Photocell 1. The Remote Module automatically adjusts dimming level based on photocell readings using a
proportional sliding setpoint control algorithm. The algorithm is congured with a Photocell Start
oset so that dimming does not begin until the photocell reading exceeds target task illuminance.
2. The default dimming rate of the daylight response is 2 minutes (from full output to minimum),
providing a smooth and slow, non-distracting response under quickly changing daylight conditions.
3. The Remote Module dims to minimum output when photocell reading reaches the congured
Photocell End setting and does not turn o the electric lights.
4. The Remote Module is factory-congured with default Photocell Start and End settings for typical
indoor oce environments and is eld adjusted with xCella Utility Software2.
5. Only one photocell may be paired with the Remote Module.
Wireless Switch, Occupancy
Sensor, and Photocell
1. Lights are turned on manually to a level automatically determined by the photocell.
2. By default, dimming level overrides via wireless switch are not maintained. Manual adjustments to
the Remote Module’s dimming output will start to revert back to photocell-controlled levels within
2.5 minutes.
3. The occupancy sensor turns lights o automatically if no motion is detected within the occupancy
time delay period.
Keycard Switch 1. Inserting the keycard closes the relay and sets the dimming output to the default light level of 70%.
2. Removing the keycard starts a 30 second timer. At the end of this time delay, lights dim down and
then turn o (relay opens).
Wireless Door/Window Sensor 1. The Door/Window Sensor does not aect the operation of the relay or dimming output, and only
controls the contact closure outputs of the “DIO” model of xCella Remote Module.
2. When the Door/Window sensor is shut (magnet and sensor are closer than 0.25”), the N/C contact
will be connected to common (COM). The N/O contact will be open.
3. If the sensor is opened, the N/C contact will be opened, and the N/O contact will be connected to
common.
4. There is a 30 second time delay between sensor change of state (opening or closing) and contact
closure response. This time delay prevents unnecessary equipment cycling when doors or windows
are opened only momentarily.
NOTES:
1. Disregard references to dimming levels if using “SNI” switching-only Remote Modules. Actual light output will vary by ballast or driver.
2. xCella Utility Software is used for advanced adjustments and changes to the default Sequence of Operations.
