If the user specifies a brightness value for calibration, how does that effect other strategies such as setting the Trim values (High End Trim, Daylight Min Dim, Low End Trim)?

The user-specified calibration brightness during sensor commissioning does not affect the configured high-end and low-end trim settings. The high/low end trims set the absolute maximum and minimum light levels allowed. These establish preset boundaries.The calibration brightness is used to tune the daylight harvesting performance within those trim endpoints. For example: High End Trim = 80%… Read more If the user specifies a brightness value for calibration, how does that effect other strategies such as setting the Trim values (High End Trim, Daylight Min Dim, Low End Trim)?

Do your sensors support “Occupancy Mode” or “Vacancy Mode” ?

Yes, Keilton’s sensors support both “Occupancy Mode” and “Vacancy Mode” for automatic lighting control. Here is an overview of how to configure each mode: Vacancy Mode:*Lights default to OFF when entering an area*User must press a switch to turn lights ON manually To enable:*Do not enable motion sensing*Use switches to control lights Occupancy Mode:*Lights turn… Read more Do your sensors support “Occupancy Mode” or “Vacancy Mode” ?

What gauge would be needed to ensure that a 500 ft run between the test button and the PPA109s module?

Here are some optimized recommendations for connecting a remote test button to PPA109S over long distances: For spans up to 500 feet between the test button and PPA109S, we suggest the following:*Use 14 AWG or 12 AWG wire for the button connection. The larger wire gauge minimizes voltage drop over long cable runs.*Install a dry… Read more What gauge would be needed to ensure that a 500 ft run between the test button and the PPA109s module?

What is the maximum length of TEST WIRE for the PPA109S?

Our testing has shown the PPA109 can reliably control lights at distances of up to 15 meters (49 feet). 15 meters is not the absolute upper limit, but we recommend maintaining a distance of 15 meters or less between a PPA109 and the lights it controls for optimal reliability. Factors that can affect maximum distance… Read more What is the maximum length of TEST WIRE for the PPA109S?

How many PPA109s per group of emergency fixtures?

Here are some optimized guidelines for properly spacing PPA109s for emergency lighting projects: PPA109 Density Recommendations*Maintain a maximum 100:1 ratio of light controllers to PPA109s – Install at least 1 PPA109 for every 100 lights.*For commercial spaces, install 1 PPA109 per 200 square feet of coverage area. Examples:*1-100 lights = Minimum 1 PPA109*101-200 lights =… Read more How many PPA109s per group of emergency fixtures?

From the source of the signal (i.e., the PPA109s) how many hops can the signal be relayed through the sensors for reliable signal transmission?

The PPA109’s wireless signals can reliably traverse a maximum of 4 hops between devices in a project’s mesh network. A “hop” refers to the signal jumping from one device to another. For example: PPA109 >> Light (1 hop)PPA109 >> Light >> Light 2 (2 hops)PPA109 >> Light >> Light 2 >> Light 3 (3 hops)After… Read more From the source of the signal (i.e., the PPA109s) how many hops can the signal be relayed through the sensors for reliable signal transmission?

Are the external antennas interchangeable on the Keilton products?

Yes, the 1dB and 5dB external antenna options are interchangeable on Keilton products. You can swap them depending on your wireless range needs, since they screw on to the same type of connector. To change antennas: Unscrew the existing antenna by turning it counter-clockwise to detach it from the product.Screw on the new antenna by… Read more Are the external antennas interchangeable on the Keilton products?

how many devices can be on one zone

Is there any difference in the antenna of 1dB antenna and 5dB external antenna?

Here are the key differences between the 1dB and 5dB external antennas: Gain – The 5dB antenna has higher gain, meaning it can focus the wireless signal in a narrower beam for increased range. The 1dB antenna has lower gain. Directivity – The 5dB antenna’s radiation pattern is more focused and directional due to its… Read more Is there any difference in the antenna of 1dB antenna and 5dB external antenna?

What is the maximum transmission distance for control of lights from a remote Bluetooth wall switch?

Bluetooth wall switches use the same wireless technology as the lights. When idle, the switches are powered off to conserve energy. They transmit signals only when pressed. The BT transmission range is similar to the lights – up to 50 meters (164 ft) indoors. However, for the best user experience, it is recommended to install… Read more What is the maximum transmission distance for control of lights from a remote Bluetooth wall switch?

How to add and locate lights in large projects (with more than 100 lights)?

Here are some tips for installing and configuring large projects with 100+ lights: Planning:*Divide the installation area into smaller sections based on room layout and lighting design. Keep each section under 100 lights.*Plan lighting circuits based on load capacities and room divisions. Lights on the same circuit should be in the same section. Large sections… Read more How to add and locate lights in large projects (with more than 100 lights)?

Is the Keilton Bluetooth system compatible with other products that operate on a 2.4 GHz wireless frequency?

Keilton’s smart lighting system uses Bluetooth technology for wireless communication which indeed operates on the 2.4GHz frequency band. However, Bluetooth is not directly compatible with other devices that also use the 2.4GHz frequency, like WIFI routers or 2.4GHz RF devices. This is because those technologies use different communication protocols over 2.4GHz. Here are some key… Read more Is the Keilton Bluetooth system compatible with other products that operate on a 2.4 GHz wireless frequency?

Can the integrated motion sensor and photo sensor work separately?

Yes, you can disable the motion sensor, photo sensor, or both in the Keilton app. This allows you to use each sensor separately if desired. Here are some tips on using each sensor independently: Motion Sensor: Has a 120-degree coverage area downward from the sensor location.To fully monitor a large area, install multiple lights and… Read more Can the integrated motion sensor and photo sensor work separately?

Why are lights not on at 100% after power-on?

If your lights have built-in sensors, they will automatically dim to a preset level when first powered on rather than going to 100% brightness. Here’s why: The sensors detect ambient light levels in the room and dim the lights accordingly to maintain the desired brightness.The light is programmed to turn on at a preset dimming… Read more Why are lights not on at 100% after power-on?

What should I do if I lost my phone before I share QR code with others?

The Keilton app saves a QR code image in your photo album when you first create a new project. This code contains the details needed to connect to the project. If you lose your phone before you have a chance to share the QR code with others, here are some tips: Regularly back up your… Read more What should I do if I lost my phone before I share QR code with others?

What does the “A” inside the light logo mean?

The Keilton app shows a light bulb icon next to each light on the project. This represents the current status of that light. If you see an “A” inside the light bulb icon, it means that the light is in automatic mode. Automatic mode means the light is being controlled by sensors, not manually. Here’s… Read more What does the “A” inside the light logo mean?

Can I control lights with computer or PC?

There is currently no native way to directly control Keilton devices from a desktop or laptop computer.
