1. Brief product description
With the Luxon Sensor Bridge commercially available sensors can be added to the Nedap Luxon light control system.
During the installation process the Sensor Bridge will become part of the wireless Senzafil Mesh Network, over which data is transferred. The light controller now can control light levels using data from remote sensors for light, motion and occupancy detection and from switches and 0-10V controls like electronic potentiometers.

2. Assembly overview for the Luxon Sensor Bridge
Figure 2. Overview Sensor Bridge assembly
The Sensor Bridge is fitted in a rugged plastic housing with a sealing to obtain IP67 protection for dust and moist, see Figure 2.
Cable glands shall be included, they must be mounted for IP67 protection.
The PCB sensor bridge has a small cutout that should fit the notch in the cover to prevent mounting the
PCB the wrong way.

3. Positioning
The Sensor Bridge shall be placed at a maximum distance of 40 meters from the nearest node operating within the same group. Avoid using a long cable (>>20m) to the sensor.
Note: The Sensor Bridge shall never be installed inside a metal power cabinet. This would impede wireless communication.

4. Mounting instructions for the Luxon Sensor Bridge
Prior to fixation, assemble the two cable glands to the unit’s enclosure. If only one gland is to be used, close the other opening with an appropriate plug to maintain IP 67 enclosure protection level if necessary.
The surface or wall mount Sensor Bridge shall be mounted using 2 ball or cylinder head screws with maximum head diameter of 9 mm, corresponding holes shall be (pre-)drilled 94 mm apart. See also figure 4.

5. Powering the Sensor Bridge system
Fig 5 shows an installation example for the Luxon Sensor Bridge with sensor and mains adapter.
Figure 5. Wiring overview for the Luxon Sensor Bridge system
Powering:
The Sensor Bridge is powered from a mains adapter or similar DC-source supplying 12 to 24V. This voltage is also available for the sensor, so you can choose the supply voltage depending on the voltage needed for the sensor to be used.
Power connection via either a standard DC-plug or screw terminals.
Many sensor types can be used:
- Switches;
- 1 to 10V dimmers (resistive and electronic potentiometers);
- Light sensors;
- Sensors for detection of movement and / or room occupancy.
Safety notes: An isolated limited power supply shall be used. For USA/Canada use a UL-listed class 2 limited power supply (E.g. MEAN WELL type GS06U, GS12U)
If a separate supply will be used for the sensor, this supply shall also meet the requirements for a class 2 limited power supply.
