General Description
The AS7211 Smart Lighting Manager device is an intelligent,
photopic-sensor based light manager that enables automatic
daylight level adaptation and energy conservation for next
generation lighting systems. It is part of the ams Cognitive
Lighting™ family of products that enable lights to be “aware”
and adapt to their surroundings and autonomously meet
human and energy conservation lighting needs.
The AS7211 is equipped with an advanced Cognitive Light
Engine (CLE) to optimize daylight harvesting and control either
dimming ballasts or LED drivers. Ambient light sensing is
achieved by way of integrated nano-optic deposited
interference filters which deliver high-stability over time and
temperature. The LGA package includes a built in aperture to
control light entering the sensor array.
A direct connection to a local sensor networks (LSN) enables
integration with external occupancy sensors, dimmers or
bridges. The AS7211 connects to standard 0-10V dimmers
inputs and drives 0-10V dimming ballasts/drivers for
fluorescent lighting or LED drivers for LED lighting. A UART
interface is provided for remote configuration, control and
management of the CLE. This UART interface responds to simple
Smart Lighting Commands.
Applications
Sense ambient light, dim and maintain brightness of luminaires
and lamps in local loop control, automatic lumen maintenance,
flexible network connectivity and simple control of luminaires
and lamps.
• LED and fluorescent luminaires, troffers, high-bays
• Track-head and downlights
• LED and fluorescent replacement lamps
• Energy efficient installations, such as California Title 24
type energy code requirements
