Prioritized
Logic
A powerful feature of the Synergy system is its ability to specify the
priority level at which functions will operate. High priority is useful
for actions relating to security or load shedding. Low priority allows
actions to be conditionally disabled.
For
example, a switch set to low priority cannot turn off lighting that is
currently on due to a schedule operating at a higher priority level.
To
simplify setup, Synergy controls automatically assign priority levels to
all functions that are suitable for normal operation. These can be
modified through the system controller keypad or via the PC
configuration software.
Prioritized logic ensures desired functionality is achieved with minimal
programming. |

Scheduled
Zone Control
General illumination for open office
areas is controlled by the Synergy system on a zone basis. Lighting
automatically comes on in the morning to greet arriving employees.
After a warning blink at the end of the workday, lighting is
automatically switched off. The potentially harmful effects of
inrush generated by switching large fluorescent loads is nullified
by the Synergy control system's zero-cross switching technology. |

Manual Zone
Control
Manually switching on lighting in the
morning maximizes energy savings and eliminates the need to program
holidays into the schedule. To prevent tampering , the switch is
disabled during normal work hours. Later in the evening, the
cleaning crew uses the same switch to turn on lighting for a
programmed period of time. |
 |
Touch-Tone Phone Override
Employees working after hours
conveniently respond to the warning blink of the lighting by
pressing a few keys on their phone and extending the lighted period. |
 |
Occupancy-Based Override
Occupancy sensors provide automatic
override of lighting during after-hours periods, eliminating the
need for manual override by employees or the cleaning crew. Sensor
operation is automatically limited to after-hours operation by
Synergy controls. Adjacent sensor zones are logically linked for
simultaneous operation to eliminate the discomfort of a lone
employee working in a small pool of light. |
