An Introduction to Low-Voltage
Lighting Control Systems
Every building is unique. That’s why Aimlite Controls has developed a flexible lighting control system
that adapts to any existing network with ease. Reliable, stylish and practical, Aimlite Controls low
voltage lighting control systems feature highly advanced functionalities that are also very easy to
use.
Lighting control systems have three main objectives :
ffProvide sufficient lighting to ensure optimal comfort for occupants
ffProvide light at the right place by creating zones
ffProvide light at the right time by creating schedules
Aimlite Controls lighting systems automate each of these functions by scheduling energy
consumption for specific zones within a building.
By incorporating photo-electric cells and motion-detector devices, our lighting control systems can
adjust interior lighting depending on exterior lighting levels, or even to the number of people in a
room at any given time. Building owners and operators can choose to control consumption by floor,
department, individual rooms and even specific lamps or other illuminating devices. You therefore
enjoy a reliable control system that truly responds to building-specific needs.
Aimlite Control's lighting control systems provide customers with :
Savings
You'll save time and effort. Our systems simplify business operations and the maintenance of
lighting systems.
You'll save money. Your expenses will be reduced by up to 50%. Our products help you reduce your
energy consumption and hours of operation for your lighting system. Electrical demands of your
building are lower. You can also benefit from lower off-peak rates.
Comfort
With Aimlite Controls lighting control systems, the light levels within your building are determined
according to your preferences. Your clients, employees, tenants or residents will always appreciate a comfortable amount of light.
Security
Aimlite Controls lighting control systems allow you to anticipate the replacement date of illumination
devices according to the manufacturer’s specifications and take corrective measures before they
actually burn out

DALI
Digital Addressable Lighting Interface
Aimlite Controls offers completely integrated lighting control solutions with its proprietary multipurpose energy management software and the latest in DALI dimming control and individual fixture
addressability technology.
Digitally addressable lighting has been gradually emerging as an effective means of controlling
lighting environments, be they commercial, industrial or residential.
Individual control of light sources allows users to adjust the amount of light delivered to each device
at their discretion, depending on changing lighting conditions and needs throughout the day. Correct
light management translates into significant reductions in global energy consumption and costs,
especially in commercial spaces where even a marginal decrease in lighting intensity can yield
considerable savings and a rapid ROI over the long run.
A complete lighting control system includes addressable dimming ballasts, sensors and
switches and a digital control unit for converting information from an Ethernet connection to the
communication protocol required by the micro-controller in each ballast.
Applications for the Aimlite-DALI combination include building management and studio lighting
systems, where single or specific groups of lamps can be controlled, conserving energy while
creating the desired lighting effects.

DUAL TECHNOLOGY
Dual technology occupancy sensors combine both passive infrared (PIR) and
ultrasonic (US) technologies for maximum reliability. Because US and PIR
need to both detect occupancy to turn lighting on, dual technology sensors
minimize the risk of lights coming on when the space is unoccupied—false
triggering. Continued detection by only one technology then keeps lighting on
as necessary. Dual technology sensors offer the best performance for most applications.
ULTRASONIC (US)
Ultrasonic (US) technology senses occupancy by bouncing sound waves (32
kHz – 45 kHz) off of objects and detecting a frequency shift between the
emitted and reflected sound waves. Movement by a person or object within a
space causes a shift in frequency, which the sensor interprets as occupancy.
While US occupancy sensors have a limited range, they are excellent at
detecting even minor motion such as typing and filing, and they do not require an unobstructed lineof-sight. This makes US technology sensors ideal for an application like an office with cubicles or a
restroom with stalls.
PASSIVE INFRARED (PIR)
Passive infrared (PIR) technology senses occupancy by detecting the
movement of heat emitted from the human body against the background
space. Unlike US technology, PIR sensors require an unobstructed line-ofsight for detection. These sensors use a segmented lens, which divides the
coverage area into zones. Movement between zones is then interpreted as
occupancy. PIR sensors are ideal for detecting major motion (e.g. walking),
and they work best in small, enclosed spaces with high levels of occupant movement.

An Introduction to Energy Management Systems
How Does Aimlite Controls' Energy Management System Work?
Energy-related costs can have a potentially disastrous impact on corporate profits. But it doesn’t
have to be that way, especially when today’s energy control technology is so affordable and
accessible.
And although peak demand periods are in large part responsible for high
electricity bills, companies can now control—and even dispense with—
many electrical applications, maintaining identical levels of comfort while
reducing outlay thanks to new energy management systems like the LS2010 from Aimlite Controls.
An effective energy management system allows users to apply the three
fundamentals underlying all aspects of energy conservation: regulation,
peak-period programming, and load shedding. Once those have been controlled, considerable
savings can be realized without reducing productivity.
Significantly Reduce Energy-Related Expenses During Peak Periods Thanks to Aimlite Controls'
Breakthrough LS-2010 Energy Management System
The simplest application of the LS-2010 system would be to network precision thermostats in such
a way as to direct electrical heating to those areas where it’s most needed at any given time within a
single building.
But the LS-2010 system is even more highly versatile. Firstly, the user determines which electrical
applications are of primary importance. In a supermarket, for example, this would be the energy
required for freezers and refrigerators to function optimally. For a manufacturer, it would be the
power supply to the production line. The LS-2010 ensures that such essential applications are given
priority and that they receive sufficient power. In the event of a peak in demand, the system would
automatically, even if momentarily, reduce the supply of less important applications, such as waterheaters. This is what is referred to as load shedding.
32
Energy Management Solutions
Energy Management Solutions
But many other variables can be included within a controlled system, as well. We can, for instance,
adjust the temperature inside the building to take into account the outside temperature. More
precisely still, it’s even possible to automatically decrease room temperature when the number
of occupants declines during any given time period, such as an apartment kitchen overnight or
unoccupied hotel rooms during the day. Aimlite Controls’ LS-2010 energy management system
allows building operators to attribute various types of consumption schedules for each zone,
thereby achieving even greater savings.
Aimlite Controls Energy Management Systems Offer:
Savings and Comfort
Aimlite Controls systems allow you to save 25% to 35% on your electricity bills, without sacrificing
comfort. Moreover, load shedding reduces the use of electrical appliances, thus increasing their
lifespan AND reducing energy costs.
Peak Control and Load Shedding
Aimlite Controls’ LS-2010 energy management system controls demand during peak periods and
helps you remain within budget. It allows you to achieve significant savings and benefit further from
off-peak rates.
Multiple Control Possibilities
The LS-2010 allows you to control all heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and lighting appliances, as

We know how safety is fundamental to retirement homes. That’s why we developed the On-Watch
option, specifically designed for such facilities. On-Watch allows people in distress to send an alarm
signal when necessary. Because it uses the same network as the thermostat system, On-Watch
combines safety with savings, due to its seamless integration with our energy control system.
Integration of Energy Management and Lighting Control Systems
A lighting control system can easily be integrated with Aimlite Controls’ LS-2010 energy
management system. Their compatibility makes both the ideal choice for controlling all of your
building’s electrical applications.

LS-100
Applications
ffThe LS-100 has been designed to monitor and control the maximum consumption of any
building. It will shed all necessary loads in order to conform to the desired consumption level.
ffTo offer maximum control over the shedding, the LS-100 offers 3 output selections: priority,
cyclic or unused.
ffThe LS-100 also offers a shedding pattern that takes into consideration the outdoor
temperature. For example, if it becomes colder than a pre-selected outdoor temperature, the
LS-100 will increase the permissible consumption level to accept a new heating load into the
pre-established energy management strategy.
ffThe LS-100 has an integrated calendar that can use 12 different consumption set points (1 per
month)
ffThe basic LS-100 has 8 outputs, but can be expanded to 16 outputs by adding an 8-output
control card.
