Prior to functional testing, verify and document the following:

1. The motion sensing controls are shown on plan documents and are installed.
2. Motion sensor is located to minimize false signals.
3. Desired sensor coverage is not blocked by obstructions that could adversely affect performance.

For building sites with up to seven (7) motion sensors, all motion sensors shall be tested. For sites with more than seven (7) motion sensors, sampling may be done on outdoor areas with similar sensors that cover similar unobstructed areas; sampling shall include a minimum of 1 motion sensor for each group of up to 7 additional motion sensors.

If the first sensor in the sample group passes the acceptance test, the remaining outdoor areas in the sample group also pass. If the first motion sensor in the sample group fails the acceptance test, the rest of the sensors in that group shall be tested and any failed sensor in the sample group shall be repaired or replaced and retested until the sensor passes the test.

1. Step 1: Simulate motion in area under luminaire controlled by the motion sensor. Verify and document the following:
   1. Status indicator operates correctly.
   2. Luminaires controlled by sensors turn on immediately upon entry into the area lit by the controlled luminaires near the sensor.
   3. Signal sensitivity is adequate to achieve desired control.
2. Step 2: Simulate no motion in area with lighting controlled by the motion sensor.
3. Verify and document the following:
   1. The controlled luminaires are turned off or the lighting power of each controlled luminaire is reduced by at least 50 percent and no more than 90 percent within a maximum of 15 minutes from the start of an unoccupied condition.
   2. The sensor does not trigger a false “on” from movement outside of the controlled area.
   3. Signal sensitivity is adequate to achieve desired control.

Verify and document the following:
The photocontrols are shown on plan documents and are installed.

For building sites with up to seven (7) photosensors, all photosensors shall be tested. For sites with more than seven (7) photosensors, sampling may be done on outdoor areas with similar photosensors that cover similar unobstructed areas; sampling shall include a minimum of 1 photosensors for each group of up to 7 additional photosensors.

If the first photosensors in the sample group passes the acceptance test, the remaining outdoor areas in the sample group also pass. If the first photosensors in the sample group fails the acceptance test, the rest of the photosensors in that group shall be tested and any failed photosensors in the sample group shall be repaired or replaced and retested until the photosensors passes the test.

Verify and document the following:

1. During daytime simulation, all controlled luminaires are turned off.
2. During nighttime simulation, all controlled luminaires are turned on.

Prior to functional testing, confirm and document the following:

1. The automatic scheduling controls are shown on plan documents and are installed.
2. The control is programmed with on schedules and off schedule that matches the schedules in the construction documents. If the schedule is unknown, confirm that the programmed schedule matches the default schedule where the off schedule is from midnight to 6am and the on schedule is all other night time hours, seven days per week.
3. The lighting control programming including both on schedule and off schedule, for weekday, weekend, and holidays (if applicable).
4. The correct time and date is properly set in the control.

Verify and document the following:

1. During daytime simulation, all controlled luminaires are turned off.
2. During nighttime simulation with the programmed occupied period, all controlled luminaires are turned on.
3. During nighttime simulation with the programmed unoccupied period, the controlled luminaires are turned off or the lighting power of controlled luminaires is reduced by at least 50 percent and no more than 90 percent.
