Crestron ZUMMESH-OL-PHOTOCELL-BATT Zum Wireless Daylight Sensor

Crestron part number ZUMMESH-OL-PHOTOCELL-BATT

The Crestron ZUMMESH-OL-PHOTOCELL-BATT is a battery-powered, wireless open-loop photocell that monitors natural daylight levels from the windows in a room. It tells Zum dimmers and load controllers to adjust their dimming levels automatically, so a Zum commercial room lighting system can use daylight harvesting to cut energy use.

Crestron ZUMMESH-OL-PHOTOCELL-BATT Zum Wireless Battery-Powered Daylight Sensor, Open-Loop

About the Crestron ZUMMESH-OL-PHOTOCELL-BATT

The sensor monitors how much daylight is entering from the windows and communicates wirelessly with Zum dimmers and load controllers, which adjust their dimming levels to suit. One daylight sensor can control several dimming zones arranged in relation to the windows, adjusting each zone to hold a consistent light level across the room. Using natural light in this way, known as daylight harvesting, reduces energy use.

The sensor is battery powered and completely wireless, and it runs for ten years on two AAA lithium batteries, which are included. It uses Zum Mesh peer-to-peer RF for pair and play setup, and calibration is done with the press of a button. It can be part of a standalone or networked Zum wireless lighting control solution.

Its compact housing is designed for surface mounting on the ceiling, and the mounting base allows ±20° of rotation for easy positioning. Because it is wireless, no cable needs to be run to the sensor position. Crestron's Zum Lighting Control System Setup Guide (Doc # 7957) has more information on setting up a Zum room.
