Configure Lighting Settings (Task Tune)


Task Tuning allows you to manage precise lighting parameters on individual fixtures or groups of fixtures. Task Tuning is located in the Settings menu of SiteWorx Tune.

Definitions

  1. Active Level - A fixture's light level when the area under the fixture is occupied.
  2. Dimming - Enabling dimming utilizes the onboard occupancy sensor to identify when the space around a fixture is occupied.
  3. Occupancy Timeout (After) - The amount of time a fixture remains in the Active state after the area becomes unoccupied.
  4. Inactive Level - A fixture's light level when the space below a fixture is vacant.
  5. Setback - Secondary dimming, a proprietary SiteWorx feature. Learn more about Setback and How to Configure Setback.
  6. Customized Settings - Subgroups of a Parent group have split active, inactive, or setback levels
If any change is made to the Task Tune settings, the Apply Settings button becomes active. Clicking the Apply Settings button applies those changes to the selected Group or individual light fixture.

Info
In the absence of a network connection, fixtures continue to operate in their current programming until network connectivity is restored.
