  1. LampMaximizer® Technology

  2. LampMaximizer® TechnologyWhat is LampMaximizer® Technology? • Patent pending sensor intelligence that enables users to aggressively target energy savings while still protecting lamp life • Three feature sets: LampMaximizer, LampMaximizer+ , and Lamp Statistics • LampMaximizer (basic feature set, includes two timers, both user adjustable via push-button) • Minimum On Timer (15 min default) – preserves lamp life by eliminating all lamp cycles shorter than lamp manufacturers recommendations. • Standard occupancy time delay (10 min default) – lower time delay increases energy savings • LampMaximizer+(disabled by default) • Advanced operational mode that optimizes lamp life & energy savings • Lamp Statistics • Sensor maintains statistics on lamp on time and number of cycles

  3. LampMaximizer® TechnologyExample 1: Comparison On Times – Sensor Switch vs. Competition Example 1 • Occupied Time: 10 Minutes • Occupancy Sensor Time Delay: • Typical Sensor Brands: 20 min (default) • Sensor Switch: 10 min (default) • Total On Time of Lamps: • Typical Sensor Brands: 30 min • Sensor Switch: 20 min • Minimum On Timer: • 15 min (however doesn’t effect total on time in this case) Extra 33% Savings!

  4. LampMaximizer® TechnologyExample 2: Comparison On Times – Sensor Switch vs. Competition Example 2 • Occupied Time: 2 Minutes • Occupancy Sensor Time Delay: • Typical Sensor Brands: 20 min • Sensor Switch: 10 min • Minimum On Timer: • 15 min (in this case it holds lights on for additional 3 min) Extra 32% Savings!

  5. LampMaximizer® TechnologyCompetitive Conclusions Conclusions… • While all brand sensors meet lamp manufactures recommended on times, only Sensor Switch units do so without wasting potential energy savings • Only Sensor Switch trusts its detection technologies to utilize a 10 min occupancy time delay without the risk of increasing false offs • LampMaximizer eliminates potential short-cycling caused by confusing “adaptive” or “walk-through” modes, and false off/ons

  6. LampMaximizer® TechnologyChart of Extra Savings with Minimum on Timer Overall savings as high as 40% vs. competition!

  7. LampMaximizer® TechnologyWhat is LampMaximizer+Mode? • Mode where the sensor will automatically adjust the occupancy time delay up or down relative to the observed usage of the space in which it is installed • The adjustments are based on an algorithm that optimizes both lamp life and energy savings • A shorter, more energy saving time delay will be utilized only if new time delay will not adversely affect lamp life • Disabled by default

  8. LampMaximizer® Technology (behind the scenes)How’s does the LampMaximizer+ Algorithm work? • Sensor maintains several running “scores” of lamp life based upon how several time delays would control the lights if selected • Scoring algorithm calculates effect on lamp life of cycling a lamp on/off vs. letting it run longer • Every two weeks the time delay with the “winning” lamp life score is selected as the active time delay • Default algorithm weighting based on published lamp life curves for Program Start Ballasts • An advanced “pro-level” setting called the “Energy/Lamp Life Factor” can be adjusted to change scoring of lamp cycles vs. run time. • Initial/max/min time delays also user configurable via settings “pro-level” Energy/Lamp Life Factor

  9. LampMaximizer® TechnologyAdditional LampMaximizer+Features • Works equally well in high-activity areas as well as those of limited use • To prevent big changes in occupancy behavior from effecting time delay too quickly, a weighted average of new observed data vs. previous data is utilized • LampMaximizer+ “Scores” can be reset by user

  10. Lamp StatisticsTotal Switches & Total Time On • Sensor maintains statistics on sensor/lamp usage • Total number of On Cycles (two digit number blinked out in 1000s) • Total Lamp Run Time (two digit number blinked out = number of khrs) • Lamp Statistics can be reset at any time by user via push-button
