NA7.8      Outdoor Lighting Controls Installed to Comply with Section 130.2(c)

NA7.8.1.1          Construction inspection and installation requirements

Verify that outdoor lighting controls qualify as one of the required control types, are installed, and are fully functional in accordance with each applicable requirement in Section 130.2(c), or that the application meets one of the exceptions.  List each specific exception claimed, from Section 130.2(c).

NA7.8.1.2          Outdoor Motion Sensor Acceptance

NA7.8.1.2.1 Construction Inspection

Prior to Functional testing, verify and document the following:

(a)  Motion sensor has been located to minimize false signals.

(b)  Sensor is not triggered by motion outside of adjacent area.

(c)  Desired motion sensor coverage is not blocked by obstructions that could adversely affect performance.

NA7.8.1.2.2 Functional testing

Step 1: Simulate motion in area under lights controlled by the motion sensor. Verify and document the following:

(a)  Status indicator operates correctly.

(b)  Lights controlled by motion sensors turn on immediately upon entry into the area lit by the controlled lights near the motion sensor.

(c)  Signal sensitivity is adequate to achieve desired control.

Step 2: Simulate no motion in area with lighting controlled by the sensor.

Verify and document the following:

(a)  Lights controlled by motion sensors reduce light output within a maximum of 30 minutes from the start of an unoccupied condition per §110.9(d).

(b)  The occupant sensor does not trigger a false “on” from movement outside of the controlled area.

(c)  Signal sensitivity is adequate to achieve desired control.

NA7.8.2 Outdoor Lighting Shut-off Controls

NA7.8.2.1          Construction Inspection

Prior to Functional testing, verify and document the following:

(a)  Controls to turn off lights during daytime hours are installed.

(b)  Astronomical and standard time switch control is programmed with acceptable weekday, weekend, and holiday (if applicable) schedules.

(c)  Demonstrate and document for the owner time switch programming including weekday, weekend, holiday schedules as well as all set-up and preference program settings.
