Philips Xitanium SR drivers.
• Do not apply mains power directly to the sensor.
•Do not cover the sensor during operation or mount the
sensor internal to the luminaire.
•External infrared light source in the space might have
influence on occupancy detection.
•Incorrect location of sensor (e.g., with setting up of
multiple SNS212devices into a single network or a group
with addition of qualified wireless switches obstructions
in viewing angle) will result in incorrect functioning of
occupancy detection.
•Faulty settings of the sensor might result in undefined
startup.
•Make sure the sensor, especially the occupancy detection
lens, is protected from damage during shipment and
handling. A drop of the unpacked sensor can compromise
its function, even if no damage is visible from the outside.
•The application area of EasyAir SNS212MC is designed for
a typical indoor environment (open/private offices,
conference rooms, classrooms, corridors, etc.) in normally

Introduction of EasyAir SNS212MC
The Philips EasyAir SNS212MC is the ideal solution for
per-luminaire control of smart luminaires. It is the future
proof successor of Philips EasyAir SNS210 MC. Occupancy
sensing, daylight harvesting and task tuning are combined
in a single, compact package for easy OEM luminaire
assembly. EasyAir SNS212MC operates with the
established D4i open standard digital interface to make a
simple two-wire connection between sensor and driver,
thus eliminating the need for multiple components and
auxiliary devices. The result is a cost-effective and easy-
to-design-in solution ideal for energy-savings. An intuitive
MasterConnect app makes commissioning and
configuration during and after installation fast and easy.
EasyAir SNS212MC enables grouping allows scene setting
on a wireless switch (e.g., presentation mode for a
conference room) as well as occupancy sharing (i.e.,
luminaires within a group can be programmed to remain at
prescribed light levels so long as occupancy is detected
anywhere in the group).
For more details on specification and ordering codes,
please refer to the SNS212MC datasheet on the technical
downloads page.

Product characteristics
EasyAir SNS212MC overview
EasyAir SNS212MC contains multiple functions in one
housing and uses two wires to connect with an SR driver.
(See wiring diagram in the Mechanical design-in section.)
Functions include:
• Zigbee/BLE
antenna
• Occupancy sensor (PIR)
• Light sensor
• LED indicator
EasyAir SNS212MC is designed for a typical indoor
environment (open/private offices, conference rooms,
classrooms, corridors, etc.) in normally heated and
ventilated areas. The sensor is normally mounted to a
luminaire and is optimized for a sensor mounting height of
2.5 m to 3 m.
Zigbee and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
The Zigbee-BLE antenna should not be covered by metal
and should be exposed to free air to ensure there is
sufficient range.
For more information on mechanical design in of the
sensor, please refer the section on page 11.

Motion detector
The occupancy sensor is a PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor
that detects movement with an X-Y cross-area under an
angle of X = 62° and Y = 84°. Two types of movements
are defined as follows:
•Major movement: movement of a person walking into or
through an area.
•Minor movement: movement of a person sitting at an
office desk reaching for a telephone, turning the pages in
a book, opening a file folder, picking up a coffee cup, etc.
When installed in a typical office ceiling at height, the
sensor is sensitive to minor movements within X1 by Y1
area. It will respond to minor movements down to a few
centimeters at the task area of a desk and is sensitive
to major movements within a range of X2 by Y2. The
directions X1, X2 are parallel to direction X; likewise for Y1,
Y2 being parallel to Y. The maximum recommended height
to place the sensor in the ceiling is 3 m to assure
movement coverage and detection. The PIR sensor reacts
on movement by means of a temperature difference, such
as the human body temperature versus its surrounding
temperature e.g. people. People sitting behind a
transparent shield or glass window are not seen by PIR
sensor of SNS212 MC. Please refer to the table below for
coverage area details.

Sensor view shield
The sensor comes with an occupancy view shield that can
be used to block the movement detection by the sensor in
a certain area. The shield comes inverted. (See Figure 2.)
This view shield can be pulled out, flipped and inserted
back in the sensor and then rotated so the correct area is
shielded off from the detection area. If such shield is not
needed in the application, it can be easily pulled out from
the sensor or left as in the original position.
The shield is not suitable to shield against air flows.
To prevent false triggers, the EasyAir SNS212MC must
be mounted more than 2 m away from air vents in all
directions, see figures below:

Light sensor
The light sensor is a photo diode that reads the average light
level captured under an angle of approximately 40°. This
level depends on the amount of artificial and/or natural
light supplied in the office, as well as how this light is
reflected toward the ceiling/sensor. The EasyAir SNS212MC
converts the illuminance signal into ON/OFF or dimming
commands to the Philips Xitanium SR LED driver in order to
maintain a constant light level on the desk.
The sensor should be installed with a minimum distance of
0.6 m tothe window to avoid the sensor looking outside.
When the sensor is mounted too close to the window it will
look partly outside. Sun reflection from cars or snowcan
reflect directly into the sensor. The sensor will then measure
such high illumination levels that it will drive the artificial
light to its minimal level or even switch off the artificial
lights. The optimum distance [Y] from the window to EasyAir
SNS212MC can be obtained from Figure 4. This graph shows
the relation between the horizontal distance from the
window to the sensor [Y] and the height [h] of the sensor (h,
vertical height ofthe sensor measured from the window sill).
LED indicator
The product contains a LED indicator. This is enabled by
default, and it can be disabled through the app. The
behavior of the LED is as follows:
Yellow LED on: = vacancy & light sensor are functional.
Red LED on: = motion is detected and hold time is not
expired yet.

Daylight regulation and calibration
Daylight regulation without calibration
When daylight-based control is switched on and no calibration
is performed, the light output adjusts approximately to 500 lux
times the value set for the Eco-on level. If the Eco-on level is
set to 80% for example, the light output from the luminaire
adjusts to approximately 400 lux in the working area.
The sensor doesn't read lux levels in the working area directly
but measures the amount of reflected light that it captures. In
the presence of daylight the sensor keeps the detected level
constant by adjusting the light output of the luminaire.
The reflective properties of the surfaces in the field of view of
the sensor, e.g. light desks or dark carpets, impact the amount
of light that is directed towards the sensor and consequently
influence the luminaires light output and actual lux levels in the
working area.
In case the reflective properties of objects below the luminaires
of a room vary, the luminaires can show different light output,
even in absence of daylight. Luminaires above dark surface
areas emit more light than those above light areas.
How to set the light level:
•In a dark environment adjust the output current of the
luminaire and the Eco-on value for the required lux value
in the working area. It is recommended to measure the
value with a lux meter.
Daylight regulation with calibration
Any time after configuration a calibration routine can be
initiated. When the calibration routine is run the light level
adjusts to the full light output (given by the operating current
of the luminaire) times the percentage value set for the Eco-on
level.
In a dark environment all luminaires configured with the same
Eco-on level show the same light output, independent of the
reflective properties of surfaces below the luminaires.
The individual sensors store the dark reading of the daylight
sensor and keep the value constant in the presence of daylight
by adjusting the light output of the luminaires.
All luminaires react individually on the amount of daylight in
the field of view of their sensor.
How to set the light level:
•Disable daylight regulation in the MasterConnect app.
•In a dark environment adjust the output current of the
luminaire and the Eco-on value for the required lux value
in the working area. It is recommended to measure the
value with a lux meter.
•Place the smartphone at the center of the working area.
Enable daylight regulation in the app again and press
"Calibrate Daylight Sensor". Leave the room.
•To calibrate, the light output of the luminaires first goes
to a low level and to a high level before it regulates to the
set light level.
