What is BS EN 62386-303 - Digital addressable lighting about ?
BS EN 62386-303 is a European standard that discusses the requirements of input devices of Occupancy sensors for digital addressable lighting interface. It is a dedicated protocol for digital lighting control that enables the easy installation of robust, scalable and flexible lighting networks.
BS EN 62386-303 specifies a bus system for control by digital signals of electronic lighting equipment which is in line with the requirements of IEC 61347, with the addition of DC supplies. BS EN 62386-303 is only applicable to IEC 62386-103:2014 and IEC 62386-103:2014/AMD1 input devices that deliver occupancy information to the lighting control system through movement or presence sensing.
Who is BS EN 62386‑303 - Digital addressable lighting for ?
BS EN 62386‑303 on Digital addressable lighting applies to:
- Manufacturer of sensor devices
- Quality testing personnel
- Electronic engineer
Why should you use BS EN 62386‑303 - Digital addressable lighting ?
Digital Addressable Lighting Interface is a dedicated protocol for digital lighting control that enables the easy installation of robust, scalable and flexible lighting networks. Occupancy sensors detect motion to indicate the presence of a person and are often used to do things like automatically turn on lights when you walk into a room or adjust temperature or ventilation settings in the HVAC system.
BS EN 62386‑303 exemplifies the requirements of the input device that has at least supplementary insulation. This depends on the connected components. In this case, special attention is been paid to the sensor(s) being used.
BS EN 62386‑303 provides you with a movement sensor that supports a hold timer, with timeout value T hold, which is been (re)started each time movement is detected. This helps in a transition of “input value” to 0x00 only take place at the moment the hold timer expires or is cancelled. In such a case the ‘vacant’ trigger is been generated. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 62386‑303, you can achieve precision in terms of product functionality.
