Commissioning and Administration User Guide 1
Introduction
Before you can begin using the Redwood Systems Building and Lighting Platform, you must
commission the light Fixtures and Switches. Commissioning is performed after the physical
infrastructure is installed. The Redwood Manager makes it easy to step through the process.
As an administrator, in addition to commissioning, you can manage and control the Redwood
System lights. You can temporarily override Policies, create Scenes to adjust the lighting for
specific situations, generate reports, perform diagnostics, and monitor usage.
Redwood Director and Redwood Engines
The Redwood Director and Redwood Engine run the embedded Redwood Manager software
used in the commissioning process and administrative maintenance.
The Redwood Engine powers and communicates with Redwood Gateways, Sensors and Wall
Switches, ultimately controlling the light Fixtures. The Redwood Director is an appliance that
provides unified management, control, and reporting on a Cluster of Redwood Engines. The
Director communicates with and manages the Redwood Engines. The Director can only
control Engines running the same Redwood Manager software version and connected to the
same Cluster (see Redwood Networking Guide).
Accessing the Redwood Manager Admin Console
You can access the Redwood Application Launch Page by connecting to the Redwood
Cluster (Director or Engines) through a web browser from a computer that is connected to the
same network as the Redwood platform. If you do not have the web address and login
credentials, contact your IT department, Facility Manager, or Lighting Administrator. The
address can be set up as either a DNS entry, such as https://buidling_lighting/, or a standard
IP address, like https://173.255.244.27/.
Accessing the platform requires a username and password. The default username is admin,
and the password is redwood. You can change the password after you log in for the first time.
After logging in, click on the Manager tile to open the application.
Navigating the Tabs of Redwood Manager
Once you have logged into the Redwood Manger you will arrive on the Dashboard. There are
six distinct tabs that will allow you to commission and administer the system. These tabs are
defined in the following sections.


Commissioning and Administration User Guide 2
Dashboard Tab
Within the Redwood Manager, the Dashboard tab provides a high-level view of the entire
system. Sensor measurements such as the total power consumed, the ambient temperature,
ambient light levels, and motion counts are aggregated over all Locations and plotted on a
graph. A baseline value can be overlaid on these plots to show a comparative picture. The
Zoom In button allows the selection of specific time windows. The baseline and zooming
features are fully described in the Reporting section of this guide.










The temperature and chart panes of the dashboard may be maximized to a full-screen view
by clicking the expand icon in the upper right corner of the pane, or by right-clicking in the
Manager and then selecting the Go Full Screen option.
Alarms are shown in the bottom pane of the dashboard. Occupancy alarms are triggered if
motion is detected in a Location where an alarm has been enabled. To enable an occupancy
alarm, see the Events and Policies section of this guide. Configuring power and temperature
alarms is covered in the Alerts and Alarms section of this guide.
Control Tab
The Control Tab allows users to manipulate the current light settings for each Location. For
more information on using these tools, please see the Commissioning and Administration
Guide.


Commissioning and Administration User Guide 3
Reporting Tab
The Reporting tab shows the available data collected by the Redwood Sensors. Graphs can
be viewed over various timescales. Temperature can be displayed in either Fahrenheit or
Celsius.
A zoom feature is also provided to show a more detailed view of a given dataset. The data
displayed is live and will refresh automatically. Placing the mouse cursor over a part of the
reports line will show the exact time-value pair at that point.
Note that the data provided for non-LED Fixtures will not include the Fixture power.






The Export Data button will save the currently displayed data in a comma-separated value
file. This data can be used to generate offline reports or stored for long-term analyses.
A static, flat line value can be overlaid on these reports by entering a number into the
Baseline field. This can help visualize energy savings, for instance, by displaying a before
case of power consumption. Clicking the Zoom In button supports zooming into a specific
range of data. Drag the date sliders left and right to change the window of the larger plot.
Clicking Zoom Out will exit this mode.


Commissioning and Administration User Guide 4
Maintenance Tab
Information on each light Fixture and Wall Switch is available in the Maintenance tab. Select a
Fixture to view manufacturing information and other internal data. You can also modify the
settings for the temperature and power alarms, DPIR Sensors, and Scene Control Wall
Switches on the Maintenance tab.












Commissioning and Administration User Guide 5
Location Editor Tab
The organization of fixtures and locations is done through the Redwood Managers Location
Editor tab. Fixtures are stored in locations within a hierarchical tree structure. "All Locations"
appears at the top of the tree. Sub-locations can be created within top-level locations and can
be nested in multiple levels. Fixtures may be at any location in the hierarchical tree, except
under "All Locations".









To access the Location Editor tab, first go to the Redwood Manager by clicking Manage
Lighting on the splash screen. Then select the Location Editor tab, which allows you to create,
modify, and delete locations. Fixtures can be dragged and dropped into these locations. To
select multiple fixtures, hold down the Shift key while clicking. You can sort columns by
clicking on the field header. To sort multiple columns, press the Ctrl key (Windows) or the
Option+Command keys (Mac OS) while clicking

Commissioning and Administration User Guide 6
Locations and Fixtures
Before you begin the commissioning process, make sure that all lights have completed the
self- discovery process and are lit.
After the system is installed, the recommended order of the commissioning process is:
1. Identify and define Locations (typically floors and rooms).
2. Give the Fixtures meaningful names.
3. Assign the Fixtures to Locations.
4. Verify the settings.
5. Create Events and Policies to control the lights.
6. Assign the Events and Policies to Locations.
7. Back up the configuration.
Planning a Location Hierarchy
Locations are based on the physical configuration of the building. Each conference room,
office, cubical area, hallway, etc. can each be a separate, unique Location. These Locations
can be grouped into areas, floors, or zones as parent Locations. Any such parent Location
will have child Locations that are the rooms, offices, hallways that comprise that parent
Location. A given room can also have child Locations representing smaller subdivisions of
the room or lighting types. On top of all of the user-defined Locations is the Location called
All Locations. All of the Locations that you create will be children of this Master Location.
The structures of these Locations are generally listed in a
hierarchical tree within Redwood Manager that operates
like the tree structure found in most computer file
systems. Each Fixture and Switch is then associated with
a specific Location in this hierarchy.
Take time to think about and plan the lighting hierarchy
based on the application and installation. Determine
appropriate Locations based on how Policies should be
applied.
Detailed planning can make it easier and more intuitive to
manage the lighting, allowing you to apply Policies to a
single Location, particular areas of a Location, or multiple
Locations that have the same requirements. Fixtures can
be associated with anyLocation in the hierarchical tree,
except directly as part of All Locations.


Commissioning and Administration User Guide 7
Wall Switches will behave differently depending on whether they are associated with a parent
or child Location. Typically, a Wall Switch can control Fixtures that are in the same Location.
However, if a Wall Switch is placed in a parent Location that has Fixtures in its child
Locations, it can control the dimming of these Fixtures as well. However, the other non-
dimming Switch functionality, such as Sensor readings and Scene control, are available only
for the specific Location in which the Wall Switch is placed, but not for its children.
Defining Locations
The organization of Fixtures and Locations is done through the Redwood Managers Location
Editor tab. Fixtures are stored in Locations within a hierarchical tree structure. "All Locations"
appears at the top of the tree. Sub-Locations can be created within top-level Locations and
can be nested in multiple levels. Fixtures may be at any Location in the hierarchical tree
except under "All Locations".
To access the Location Editor tab, first go to the Redwood Manager by clicking Manage
Lighting on the splash screen. Then select the Location Editor tab, which allows you to create,
modify, and delete Locations. Fixtures can be dragged and dropped into these Locations. To
select multiple Fixtures, hold down the Shift key while clicking. You can sort columns by
clicking on the field header. To sort multiple columns, press the Ctrl key (Windows) or the
Option + Command keys (Mac OS) while clicking.

1. It is possible to move Locations by simply dragging and dropping them from one parent
Location to another, thus creating new hierarchy configurations.
2. To save this configuration change, click Apply, at the bottom left of the screen.
Deleting a Location
1. If a Location has no child Location or assigned Fixtures, you can remove it from the
hierarchy by clicking the button.
2. To save this configuration change, click Apply, at the bottom left of the screen.


Commissioning and Administration User Guide 9
Assigning Fixtures to Locations
After creating Locations, you can assign Fixtures and Wall Switches to their appropriate
Locations. The number next to each Location indicates the number of Fixtures within that
Location.
Newly discovered Fixtures and Wall Switches are automatically placed in the Unassigned
Location. If a Sensor is unassigned, the Sensors LED indicator light will be solid red. If a Wall
Switch is unassigned, the Wall Switchs LED indicator light will be solid green.
You can assign Fixtures and Switches to any Location in the hierarchical tree, except directly
under All Locations, with the simple drag-and-drop interface.











IMPORTANT NOTE
The Universal Gateway Outage Relay provides information about the status of the
Redwood Engine system. You cannot move it out of the Unassigned Location as it
does not require commissioning.



As illustrated in the diagram above, the Universal Gateway Outage Relay is also
visible from within the Location Editor. Please see the Installation Instructions for more
information on the Universal Gateway Outage Relay.

Commissioning and Administration User Guide 10
Naming Fixtures
Each Fixture is identified by a Name and a set of data that is determined by the
Gateway/Adapter that is connected to the Fixture. When commissioning the system you can
edit the Name of the Fixture to be something more meaningful to the end-user than the
default value which is the ID of the Gateway/Adapter.
You can use different methods to name Fixtures:
! Record the Gateway/Adapter serial number, manually find that serial number represented
as the Fixture Name and then rename it using the button.
! Dim each light, note the Location, and then rename it using the button.
! Blink a Fixture, determine which Location it is in and then rename it using the button.
! Use the Flashlight Naming wizard.
The most efficient and quickest method is flashlight naming.
Flashlight Naming of Fixtures
Flashlight Naming of Locations leverages the fact that each Sensor/Adapter has a light-level
sensor that will pick-up on changes of light in a given Location. You can identify and
automatically name any installed Fixture by simply shining a flashlight at the exposed Sensor
associated with that Fixture. In practice, this means you can walk into a room with unnamed
Fixtures and quickly name each without having to know anything more about the Fixture or its
Gateway/Adapter.
To name Fixtures using a flashlight:
1. In the Location Editor tab, create a Location named Flashlight as a child of All Locations.
2. Drag and drop the Fixtures you want to name to the Flashlight Location.
3. Click the Flashlight Commissioning button found at the bottom center of the screen.
- Note: If there are unsaved changes, the Flashlight Commissioning button is disabled.
Click the Apply button to apply the changes and then continue.
4. In the Flashlight Commissioning panel, assign a name and index to identify the Fixtures in
a particular Location. For example, if the Fixture Name Prefix is RoomA, and the Starting
Index is 1, the first commissioned Fixture is named RoomA001, the next is RoomA002,
and so on.
5. (Optional) Assign a light level to the Fixtures from the Location is drop-down menu. The
default is Normally Lit.
! You might need to change the light level to match the current light level in the Location if
high-ambient light causes a Fixture to think it sees the flashlight before commissioning
begins.
! Fixtures that are not ready for commissioning because of high-ambient light have a red
dot next to the Fixtures icon.
! If Fixtures are not ready, change the Location is setting to match the current light level in
the Location. For example, you can choose from Bright, Normally Lit, Dim, and Dark
! When the Fixtures are ready, move on to Start Flashlight Commissioning.


Commissioning and Administration User Guide 11
6. Click the Start Flashlight Commissioning button.
! A Location named Commissioned is automatically created under the Flashlight Location.
! The Fixtures in the Flashlight Location will dim, and their Sensors LED starts flashing red.
! Note: With flashlight commissioning sensor-only installations, the Sensor LED indicator
light turns red, but since there is no Fixture, nothing will turn on. Likewise, for Wall
Switches, and green LED indicator light is used when flashlight naming.
7. Shine the flashlight on the Fixtures in the desired order.
! When a Fixture is commissioned, it is renamed according to the naming scheme and
moved to the Commissioned Location.
! Its Sensor will stop blinking, and will show solid red.
! The Fixture will be set to 100% light level.
! Note: To skip a sequence number while commissioning, click the Skip button.
! Note: Click the Cancel button to stop the flashlight commissioning process and undo all
flashlight naming completed up to this point.
8. Click Done to exit the flashlight commissioning process. The Sensors LEDs turn off.
9. Drag the newly renamed Fixtures from the Commissioned Location into their appropriate
Location based on the lighting plan.
10. To save this configuration change, click Apply, at the bottom left of the screen.

Blinking makes it easy to identify Fixtures in the building.
1. In the Location Editor tab, highlight the Fixture. To select multiple Fixtures, press the Shift
key while selecting additional Fixtures.
2. On the right, click the Blink button to make the Fixture flash.
3. After you identify the Fixture, click the Blink button again to stop the blinking.
4. Use the button to rename the Fixture.
5. Drag and drop the Fixtures and Switches to their Locations.
6. To save this configuration change, click Apply, at the bottom left of the screen.

Commissioning and Administration User Guide 12
Adding Wall Switches to Locations
You can use three types of wall switches with the Redwood Lighting platform: a standard
electrical light switch (single pole, single throw), a Redwood Wall Switch, and a Redwood
Scene Control Wall Switch. Typically, a wall switch will control fixtures that are in the same
location. However, if a wall switch is placed in a parent location with fixtures in child locations,
it will also control the on/off and dimming operations of the fixtures in child locations, but some
Redwood specific wall switch functionality, including sensor measurement (Wall Switch and
Scene Control Wall Switch) and scene control (Scene Control Wall Switch) will only be
available in the location in which the wall switch is placed.
Electrical Light Switch
An electrical light switch that has been connected to a compatible sensor during installation is
automatically commissioned when the attached sensor/fixture is commissioned, and will
control all fixtures in the same location. Since it is connected directly to a sensor and/or fixture,
it will not be displayed in the user interface fixture list.
Wall Switch
You can commission a Wall Switch using the same flashlight commissioning process as with
a fixture by shining a flashlight at the light sensor. You can also manually commission a Wall
Switch by connecting it to an Engine. When detected, the Wall Switch will automatically be
placed in the Unassigned group. You can then drag and drop the Wall Switch to the desired
location.
To add a Wall Switch manually:
1. In the Location Editor tab, select the Location.
2. Drag the Wall Switch you want to add to the Location.
3. To save this configuration change, click Apply, at the bottom left of the screen.
Scene Control Wall Switch
When using the flashlight commissioning process to commission a Scene Control Wall Switch,
the four scene button LEDs will blink during commissioning, and you then press any Scene
Control Wall Switch button to assign the name and stop the blinking. You can also manually
commission a Scene Control Wall Switch by connecting it to an Engine. When detected, the
Scene Control Wall Switch will automatically be placed in the Unassigned group. You can
then drag and drop the Scene Control Wall Switch to the desired location.
To add a Scene Control Wall Switch manually:
1. In the Location Editor tab, select the Location.
2. Drag the Scene Control Wall Switch you want to add to the Location.
3. To save this configuration change, click Apply, at the bottom left of the screen.


Commissioning and Administration User Guide 13
Adding Additional Hardware After Commissioning
You can add Fixtures at any time after the initial configuration is complete. When detected,
they are automatically placed in the Unassigned group. You can add Fixtureless Gateways to
the same Locations as LEDs and fluorescents. They do not participate in light-control features
nor limit the functionality for a Location.
To add a Fixture or switch:
1. In the Location Editor tab, select the Location.
2. Drag the Fixtures you want to add to the Location.
3. To save this configuration change, click Apply at the bottom left of the screen.

IMPORTANT NOTE
Fixtureless Gateways can be added to the same Locations as LEDs and Fluorescents. They
will not participate in any light control related features, nor limit the functionality listed under
lighting control for a Location.
Adjusting Motion Sensor Sensitivity
You can disable the motion sensor or set the sensitivity level. Disabling the sensor causes the
Fixtures Location to ignore the Sensors motion data.
To set motion sensor sensitivity:
1. In the Maintenance tab, click the Location on the left and select the Fixture in the middle
pane.
2. From the drop-down menu in the right pane, select Configuration. The Sensor model is
listed under Sensor Type.
3. Under Sensitivity, select the sensitivity level from the drop-down menu. The Sensor type
determines the sensitivity levels presented.
4. Click Apply.

Commissioning and Administration User Guide 14
Events and Policies
A Policy is a set of rules that define what to dowhich actions are performed by the lights in a
specific Location. A Policy identifies the light levels, occupancy mode and timeouts, and when
to turn daylight harvesting on and off.
An Event is a set of rules that define when to perform an action on the lights. An Event can be:
! Scheduled and recurring, such as Do this every workday
! Scheduled, nonrecurring, such as Do this on a holiday
! Unscheduled, such as Do this when the utility company wants us to save power
Each Event has an associated Policy. The Policy becomes active when the Events schedule
specifies or when the Event receives a manual or external trigger. A single Policy can be
triggered by many different Events.
Locations and Fixtures are automatically assigned a default set of Policies. You can modify
these Policies or create new ones to accommodate the needs of the occupants and meet
energy- savings targets.
It is also possible to create Scenes for short Events like a presentation. These Scenes can
adjust a Locations Fixtures to different brightness levels to achieve the desired lighting effect.
You can assign specific Scenes to the buttons of the Scene Control Wall Switch to allow
users to override the current Scene. When the need is over, the Scene can be deactivated to
return the rooms lighting control to its regularly scheduled Event/Policy combination.
Task-Tuning is also configurable from the Control tab within Redwood Manager. This allows
individual lights to be dimmed or brightened in response to specific needs at that Fixtures
Location.
If you have a number of Locations to commission, it is more efficient to identify the Events you
want and which Policies are globally applicable, and then create them in one session. Assign
the Events and Policies to one Location to verify the configuration before copying or exporting
them to other Locations. This process generates more consistent Policies and is easier to
maintain and manage.
IMPORTANT NOTE
The Location Commissioning of the lighting system should be complete before investing effort
defining and modifying policies please refer to The Location Commissioning Process
Section for instructions on completing this process.



Commissioning and Administration User Guide 15
Events
At a high level, an Event can be thought of as the when and why of a lighting change. Each
Location has a set of prioritized Events several Events may be active at once due to
scheduling or external signals, but only the Event with the highest priority will actually apply its
lighting Policy.
To create an Event:
1. Select the Location from the Location Settings tab.
2. Click
3. Choose if the Event will be a New Scheduled, New Unscheduled or Existing Event and
provide a name if not selecting an Existing Event. Click Next.
4. For a Scheduled Event, you will need to define if this is a One-Time or Recurring Event
and specify the start and duration in terms of time or days. In the case of a Recurring
Event you will also need to define on which days of the week the Event should repeat.
Click Next to attach a Policy.
- To create an unscheduled Event, select Unscheduled and click Next to attach a Policy.
- When selecting an Existing Event you will not be allowed to edit the schedule for the
Event.
5. Select an existing Policy from the list or click to create a new one.
6. Click Finish.
Note: Because an unscheduled Event is activated by an external signal, such as a demand
response system, it requires additional configuration within the Redwood Manager.
Modifying an Event
1. Select the Location you want to remove the Event from using the Location Settings tab.
2. Click
3. Select Existing and make your changes.
Note: If you simply want to assign a different Policy to the Event you can use the Pencil icon
found next to the Policy name on the Event priority list.
Deleting an Event
You can delete an Event from All Locations if it is not used by a Location. If the Event is
used by a Location, first remove it from the Location.
To delete an Event:
4. Select the Location you want to remove the Event from using the Location Settings tab.
5. Click the ic on next to the Event name. Redwood Manger will confirm your intent.

Commissioning and Administration User Guide 16
Prioritizing Events
Events occur in the order that they are prioritized for each Location. The current Event
priorities for a given Location are seen on the Location Settings tab for the Location. Several
Events can be active at the same time because of scheduling or external signals, but only the
Event with the highest priority applies its lighting Policy. For instance, a regularly scheduled
Event on a Monday can be overridden by a holiday. The unscheduled demand response
Policy takes effect for as long as the corresponding Event is active.
To reorganize Events:
! In the Location Settings tab, click and drag the higher priority Events toward the top of the
list and lower priority Events toward the bottom of the list.
Policies
The Policy defines what occurs when a particular Event is triggered. As part of the Event
configuration process seen in Section 3.1 you can either select an existing Policy or create a
new one.
To create a Policy from an Event:
1. After clicking the button you will be presented with a dialog box to configure
your new Policy, as seen below.








2. First, give your Policy a Name in the Name field. This will be how this Policy will be
identified in all areas of Redwood Manager.
3. Use the Light Level sliders down arrow to specify the maximum light percentage for the
Locations Fixtures. If the Location has an occupancy Policy, you can also define a
minimum (off) light level with the up arrow.
4. To save energy and take advantage of natural daylight, select Daylight Harvesting. Set
the light level to which the lights will not go below. However, the lights go off if the
occupancy Policy permits it.
Note: Fixtures must be calibrated to enable daylight harvesting. Single ballast Locations
do not support daylight harvesting.

Commissioning and Administration User Guide 17
5. To control Fixtures based on motion, select an occupancy mode from the drop-down
menu.
! In Standard mode, triggering only one motion sensor turns on the Locations lights.
! In Multi-Sensor Occupancy mode, the Sensor count defines the number of Sensors that
must trigger to activate the lights. Only a single Sensor needs to detect motion to keep the
lights on.
! In Vacancy mode, the lights must be turned on manually. Motion does not turn on the
lights, but lack of motion turns them off.
! In Follow-Me mode, the timeout settings apply to each Fixture in a Location rather than
the entire Location. Individual Fixtures turn on and off in response to motion, lighting the
space only in areas where people are present. Use this mode in hallways where
overlapping Sensors provide a smooth transition of increasing and decreasing light levels
as a person moves down the hallway.
6. To specify how long the lights remain on after no motion is detected in a space, set the
Timeout period. The Fade In and Fade Out settings define the duration for which the
lights smoothly brighten and dim.
7. To display an alarm message on the dashboard and send an email to the administrator
when motion is detected, select Alarm.
8. Click Finish.
Overriding a Policy
You can override a Policy and have a temporary lighting Policy take effect immediately for a
specified amount of time. When the time has elapsed, the Policy override expires, and the
control of the lighting resumes using the prioritized Events.
You can prioritize Policy overrides like other Events. For example, you could place an
override Event after known important Unscheduled Events, such as an Emergency Event, and
before known Scheduled Events.
To override a Policy temporarily:

Default Policies
If no Event is active and a Scene has not been selected, the default Policy will take effect.
This Policy can be viewed in the Location Settings tab and is
shown here:
Edit this Policy by going to Location Settings as described in the
Events and Policies section of this guide. You can also select a
different default Policy by clicking .
Motion Groups
You can use the Motion Groups Feature in Redwood manager for when, in the course of
defining your Events and Policies, it becomes necessary to trigger an Event to occur in a
given Location (or specific Fixture in a Location) based upon motion (occupancy) seen by a
Sensor not associated with that Location (or Fixture). With this technique a single motion
signal can be shared with multiple Locations, in effect allowing them to share a single
Sensor.
The key point to remember when implementing this feature is that you are going to configure
a given Sensor (Donor Location or Donor Fixture) to share with other Locations that it sees
motion. When the Recipient Location receives this shared motion signal then it will behave
as if it received a motion signal from one of its native Sensors, triggering whatever Event it
would normally trigger. This means that a single motion signal can trigger different Events in
different Locations that have different results, since each Locations Events/Policies are
unique to that Location. The Events/Policies for each Location are respected no matter where
the motion signal originates.
Note: You can only donate motion signals to Locations and not specific Fixtures, because
Events/ Policies are triggered for an entire Location, not specific Fixtures. If you want to
share a motion signal with a specific Fixture and only that Fixture, not the rest of the
Location, then that Fixture will need to be alone in a child Location that receives the motion
signal.
Sharing a Motion Signal from a Location
1. Select the Location that has the Sensor you want to share motion from using the
Maintenance tab.
2. Select Configuration on the pull-down directly below the Maintenance tab. You will see a
listing of the current Locations that are Recipients of motion signals from this Donor

Scenes
A Scene is used to adjust a Locations Fixtures to achieve a desired lighting effect for a
specific period of time. Scenes apply to specific Locations, and as such are not global settings.
You can create Scenes for short Events, like a presentation. For example, a common Scene
in a conference room is presentation modethe lights near the projector screen are turned off
completely, while the other Fixtures are slightly dimmed.
You can also assign specific Scenes to the buttons of the Scene Control Wall Switch to allow
users to override the current Policy or Scenes as needed. The Scene can be deactivated to
return the rooms lighting control to its regularly scheduled Event/Policy.
Note: Applying a Scene overrides Task-Tuning. When the Scene is deactivated, the lights
return to the previously Task-Tuned level.
Adding Scenes to Locations
When creating a Scene, it is recommended that you be physically present in the room for
which you are creating the Scenes.
To add a Scene to a Location:
1. Select the Location in the left panel of the Location Settings tab.
2. Click the Add Scenes button and select New Scene.
3. Name the Scene and set the starting light level for all Fixtures in the Location.

Sensor Calibration and Sensitivity
Ambient Light Calibration
Redwood Sensors are shipped calibrated, except for the ambient light Sensor. The ambient
light Sensor has an adjustable dynamic range. You must calibrate it based on the light level of
the space. (Calibration might not be needed if you are not using the daylight harvesting
feature.)
IMPORTANT NOTE
Note that not calibrating only prevents the daylight harvesting feature from working, so
calibration may not be needed in all installations. Stored light Sensor readings may also be
affected.
Before beginning calibration, do the following:
! To set up for calibration, it is recommended that you finish all other aspects of
commissioning.
! Turn on all non-Redwood-controlled lights that would usually be on, such as emergency
lights.
! Set all Redwood-controlled lights to their normal Policy when daylight harvesting is
running.
! Perform calibration when it is dark outside and there is no significant external light.
! Determine if a Fixture has already been calibrated by checking its status in the
Maintenance tab.









Commissioning and Administration User Guide 24
To calibrate a Fixture:
1. In the Location Editor tab, select a Location. You can calibrate only one Location at a time.
2. Click the Calibrate Fixtures button. The process takes about 10 minutes.

The lights fully turn on for about 2 minutes so that the Sensors can assess the maximum
light reading. The lights then turn off to establish a zero-light level reading. Finally, the
Fixtures step through light levels in 10% increments.
3. Wait for calibration to complete before making any other changes. The lights return to
their existing Policy levels and the Calibrating progress box goes away.

Commissioning and Administration User Guide 29
Configuration Backups
After you have completed the initial configuration, create a backup of the settings. Before
making major changes to the commissioning, make sure that you have a backup so that you
can restore the original configuration if needed. You can also use the configuration file to
restore the system if something happens.
Creating a Backup
The configuration file engine.cfg is saved on your local computer. The file contains the system
settings, including Policies, Scenes, and schedules.
To export the system configuration to a file:
1. Click the Sprocket Menu button in the upper right of the Redwood Manager.
2. In the Engine Configuration screen, click the Actions tab.
3. Next to Configuration, select Save and click OK.
Restoring a Configuration
To restore a previous configuration, you must have created a backup using the Redwood
Manager. To restore the file, you connect to the Engine using the secondary port. This
requires changing the Ethernet adapter IP address to 192.168.1.x with the subnet
255.255.255.0. Changing it to 192.168.1.10 works best.
1. In a browser address bar, enter https://192.168.1.1/support.html.
2. If a security warning displays, ignore it and continue loading the page.
3. If you are requested to authenticate, use the default username admin and default
password redwood.
4. On the Tech Support Page, next to Restore Configuration, navigate to the engine.cfg file
that you want to upload.
5. Click the Restore button. After the configuration is loaded, you are notified that you must
restart the Engine.
6. Click the Restart link. The Engine takes about 30 seconds to restart.
7. In the browser address bar, enter https://192.168.1.1/admin.html to open the Redwood
Manager.
Note: If the password configured in the restored configuration is different than the default
password, you must authenticate again.
8. Click Manage Lights.
9. Click the Options icon at the top right.

and have the version of software currently-running on the system. The update process
consists of loading the new software version into the inactive partition, activating this partition,
and then rebooting the system.










In the inactive partition pane, click the Choose File button to select the upgrade file. These
files are .img files and will be provided by Redwood. Once the file is selected, choose Upload
to begin transferring this file to the partition. Depending on the browser, you may see an
upload progress indicator in the middle of the screen. During the upload process, the browser
will show signs of activity similar to what is shown when a web page is being loaded. Wait
until these activity signs have stopped and then click Activate. The system will request
permission to reboot allowing this will cause the lights to turn off for a moment. When the
reboot is complete, visiting the lighting systems web address will show the new software.

Attention is required.



Commissioning and Administration User Guide 35
The following information can also be obtained from the Fixtures tab:
Missing: Displays a list of Fixtures that have been disconnected since the system was
powered on.
Errors: Displays a list of disabled Fixtures and lists the error that the Engine detected.
Warnings: Shows Fixtures that are working under conditions that the Engine considers
unusual. For example, a warning is raised if plugged-in ports are not located
side-by-side on an Engine.
Good: Displays all Fixtures that are neither missing, nor in error or warning states.
The Ports tab allows a user to view a ports configuration data, its error status, and other
channels connected to the same Fixture. Click a numbered port to view this data.
Admin Tools
The Admin Tools offer other methods to verify system health. This page may be accessed
during a support call since it contains a number of important links that gather system statistics.
There is an identical page on the Director and every Engine, and it is necessary to point your
browser to the Engines name/IP address to access this page.
To access the Admin Tools:
1. Log in to the Redwood Application Launch Page as an admin user.
2. Click on the Admin Tools tile to open the Admin Tools Tech Support page.
The Tech Support Page is broken up into 6 major sections:
1. Configuration
2. Statistics
3. Actions
4. Logs
5. Other
6. Basic Support Info
Of these, the Download Support Data link from within the Other section is the most
important and will likely be requested by Redwood Support as part of a support call.


Commissioning and Administration User Guide 36
Configuration Section
The Configuration section contains links to manage the configuration file (how the Redwood
Manager stores settings). The two most important links on this section are the Download
Configuration and Restore Configuration.
The Download Configuration link copies the configuration file to your local computer. It is
recommended that you save this configuration file before making large changes to the
commissioning so that you can then restore in the event that it is needed.
Restoration of the configuration is done with the Restore Configuration link. There are four
links pertaining to Adapter/Fixture configurations. These should only be used as directed by
Redwood Support as they modify how an Adapter/Gateway is programmed and, if used
incorrectly, can result in Fixtures that do not discover correctly.
Statistics Section
Internally, the statistics gathered by the Sensors are stored in a compact file format. It is via
the Download Statistics link that you can retrieve the statistics for each Engine. It is not
recommended that users use this method without Redwood Support.
Actions Section
There are two links that permit you to restart or reboot the Engine. These links perform the
same function as the restart and reboot function from the Manager Configuration menu.
Logs
The top two links display approximately the final 500 lines of
the syslog file and the volcano log file.
Syslog is a file containing the network and Linux-based
messages.
Volcano.log is the console log that contains errors and
warnings created by the Redwood Manager software. It isn't
expected that you need to look at these files, but they are
useful for Redwood Support Team members.
Other
Most of the links in this section are Linux commands that a
Redwood Support Team member might use to quickly
determine the activity of an Engine.
The final link in this section, Download Support Data, is VERY important though. It is a link
that executes a set of statistic and log file gathering tools to generate a single zipped file that
is downloaded to your local computer. Redwood Support uses this file as a way to determine
what has happened on the Engine

Commissioning and Administration User Guide 37
Basic Support Info
It may be necessary to determine the IP address or the MAC address of the Engine as part of
a support call.
That type of information is quickly displayed by selecting the only link in this section.
