To learn how Setback works, visit Setback Overview.

Setback Control Panel

There are two main parameters on the Setback Control Panel:
  1. Setback Level - A fixture's light level when Setback is active
  2. Setback Mode - Enable Automatic, Scheduled, Duration, or Astronomical (Sunrise/Sunset) modes

Tips and Tricks

  1. Use Automatic Setback to maximize time in Setback and drive savings, configure setback on smaller sub-groups of fixtures
  2. Use Astronomical Setback schedule exterior fixtures to turn on at sunset and off again at sunrise
  3. Use the Tune Live View to verify which groups are in Setback

Info
If a Group is in Automatic Setback and a single light fixture in the Group detects occupancy, the light fixture will illuminate at the default Setback Active Level of 100%.

If more than one light fixture in the Group detects occupancy, then the Group will exit Automatic Setback and transition to the Task Tune settings.
