Function description
General
Daylight linking is a way of controlling luminaires whilst taking the available daylight and the blinds into account. Controlling the
artificial light by adjusting it to the natural daylight achieves optimal lighting quality and saves additional energy.
The daylight is recorded either by a sky scanner or by one or more light sensors. The light sensor does not have to be located
in the room where the daylight linking will be enabled.
Measurement points are used to control the daylight linking of artificial light. The measurement point defines the maximum
amount of light a luminaire can output. For each measurement point the illuminance at the workspace is measured with a
luxmeter, once at 100 % and once at 0 % intensity. These two values and the sensor values currently being measured combine
to form one measurement point.
The measurement points are then used to calculate the amount of artificial light required to achieve the required illuminance.
The number of measurement points created in a room depends on the local conditions in the room and the luminaires installed.
Composition of a measurement point (MP)

Measured illuminance (100 %)
→ Current sensor value when measuring the illuminance with all lights switched on (blinds open)
Measured illuminance (0 %)
→ Current sensor value when measuring the illuminance with the lights switched off (blinds open)
Example of daylight-linking
In this example two measurement points are needed: one on the
workspace below the left luminaire and one below the right
luminaire. The measurement points are marked with an X.

The sky scanner is automatically added to the system image after a restart of the LITECOM CCD. Therefore, it does not have to
be addressed. In order for the daylight linking to work properly, check the values from the sky scanner.

Sun Specifies the current sun position using alpha and gamma:
position
Alpha specifies the direction (e.g. 90° corresponds to east and 180° corresponds to south).
Gamma specifies the elevation angle – i.e. the angle between the horizon of the observer and the sun
(e.g. at sunrise the elevation angle is 0°, since the sun is on the observer's horizon; when the sun is
directly above the observer (in the zenith), the elevation angle is 90°).
Glare value Specifies the value of the current glare. The glare value is calculated from the sensor values of the sky
scanner.
Sky Proportion of total outdoor illuminance which falls on a measuring location (atmospheric scattering).
illuminance
Sun Proportion of total outdoor illuminance that occurs directly at the measuring location.

Total Specifies the total illuminance. This parameter consists of the values of the Sky illuminance and the Sun
illuminance illuminance.

If you tap the Delete button, the sky scanner is removed from the system image. However, if the sky scanner
is not physically removed from the system, it is automatically added to the system image again after a restart
of the LITECOM CCD.

Blind model
General
The transmittance data for the respective blind model is needed so that blinds are also taken into consideration in the daylight
linking. A blind model is a template in which the control-related properties of a blind are summarised. These properties include
the transmission and the glare protection position. The following table provides a description of the individual configuration
options:
Transmission The transmission defines the capability of a blind to let radiation pass through. The transmission consists of
the following parameters:
Slat position: Specifies how the slats of a blind are tilted. Expressed as a percentage (%). At 100 %
the slats are closed, and at 0 % the slats are open.
Transmittance: Specifies the proportion of the radiation which is allowed through by a component.
Expressed as a percentage (%).
Glare The glare protection position consists of the following parameters:

protection
Elevation angle: Angle between the horizon of the observer and the sun. Expressed in degrees (°).
position
If, for example, the sun is on the observer's horizon (e.g. at sunrise), the elevation angle is 0°. If the
sun is directly above the observer (in the zenith) , the elevation angle is 90°.
Slat position: Specifies how the slats of a blind are tilted. Expressed as a percentage (%). At 100 %
the slats are closed, and at 0 % the slats are open.

Correcting measurement points manually
General
It may be necessary to correct the measurement points manually
(e.g. if the required illuminance is not achieved). The values can be
set manually or changed via a graphical display.
The measurement points are converted into day and twilight points
and the result is a linear control characteristic. This control
characteristic determines the required brightness of the artificial
light based on the available daylight. The day point represents the
ratio between the daylight and artificial light when there is a lot of
daylight in the room, while the twilight point represents the ratio
between the daylight and artificial light when there is little daylight
in the room.
The control characteristic can be edited manually by pressing the
control characteristic icon in the measurement point overview.
First the option to adjust the values by directly entering them
appears. Press Edit for the Edit control characteristic option to Figure 1: Manual configuration
open the graphical display.
Note
To correct measurement points manually, well-grounded knowledge of control characteristics, day and
twilight points is required. Without this knowledge no changes may be made, as these significantly alter
daylight linking.
Manually configuring values

The following settings can be used to change the values for the day and twilight points directly.
Simulate with This value is used as the required illuminance used to simulate the control characteristic in the room. The
following changes can therefore be measured directly in the room when manually correcting the measurement
illuminance points.

Editing the control characteristic

The values of the control characteristic can also be edited using
the graphical display as follows:
1. Press the Edit button.
2. Drag the points to the desired position and confirm the
configuration with the tick mark.
3. The set values are applied in the Correct measurement
point manually view, but can also be edited further here if
necessary.
4. Save the configuration by pressing the tick mark.
Figure 2: Editing the control characteristic
Information
If the control characteristic has been edited manually or graphically, the Edit measurement points overview
will display the note Manually corrected under the Measure button.
Information
Normally daylight linking is used to compensate for low levels of natural daylight with artificial light (daylight
tracking). However, the Correct measurement points manually function can also be used to configure
daylight tracking. A daylight curve is then simulated in the rooms without daylight. This means that when
there is a lot of daylight (Sensor value (day point)) the artificial light is set higher (Intensity (day point))
than when there is little daylight (Sensor value (twilight point)), when a lower artificial light level (Intensity
(twilight point)) is set.
