And now, let's begin the course.

3. One-way circuit 1 switch for one light > Essential Applications
Can be produced with
a "one-way – 2 poles" switch ● a two-way switch N
Breaker
Switch
First of all, let's look at the simplest case of lighting, a light controlled from one control point.
A simple two-pole switch is used. When the switch is activated, the circuit closes and the light goes on.
A two-way switch wired to a common input and an output can be used as well.
Any type of light can be connected in this application: incandescent, 230 Volt AC halogen, 12 or 24 Volt DC halogen, fluo-compact halogen, fluorescent tube and others.
At the bottom of the page, we've listed all the families of switches supplied by Schneider Electric.
Please note that this presentation is only aimed at explaining the segmentation. We simply give you the names in order for you to find them in or your catalogues.
Remember too that lighting circuits must be protected by suitable and correctly rated devices. Schneider Electric supplies a range of circuit breakers for this purpose.

4. One-way circuit Switch with Indicator light Application
> Essential Applications
One-way circuit
Switch with Indicator light
Indicator light is ON when the switch is ON
BASIC REMINDER not to forget light ON
Presence indication
Application
Placed indoors:
Indicates that outdoor light is ON
Placed in a room:
Indicates that light in another room is ON
(cellar, attic, annex, scullery, garage, etc.) L N
Breaker
Switch
Indicator Light
Here's the same case as the previous one but with a switch that has a built-in indicator light.
The indicator light goes on at the same time as the main lighting circuit.
It serves as a reminder that a light is on and that you shouldn't forget to turn it off, or it simply indicates that someone is present.
For example, at the entrance door, this type of button controls the outside lighting and indicates whether the light is on or off.
It's the first link in the energy efficiency chain, reminding people that they have lights to switch off!
Main Light
Also available in the following combinations:
- Double rocker switch + 1 Indicator light on rocker 1 only
- Double rocker switch + 1 Indicator light/rocker

5. One-way circuit Switch with Locator light Application
> Essential Applications
One-way circuit L
Switch with Locator light
Locator light is ON in the dark
Avoids people having to search for it
Avoids accidents (stairs, garages, etc.)
Application
Staircase, corridors, etc. N
Breaker
Switch
Locator Light
Here, the switch has a built-in light as well but this one works opposite to the main circuit.
When the main light is on, the locator light is off.
When the main light is off, the locator light is on.
This means the locator light is on in the dark and makes it easy to locate the switch.
It is used in corridors, staircases, toilets and so on.
Main Light
Also available in the following combinations :
- Push-Button + Locator light
- Double rocker switch + 1 Locator light

6. Double “One way circuit”
> Essential Applications
Double “One way circuit”
1 switch for two parallel lighting circuits
Lighting circuits work in exactly the same way
For applications where:
Power exceeds the capacity of one contact
All the lights cannot be physically interconnected
It may be necessary to open phase and neutral lines
Can be produced with
A one-way switch – Single rocker and two linked contacts L N

8. Two-way circuit Control a light from 2 different places
> Essential Applications
Two-way circuit L
Control a light from 2 different places
Can be produced with
2 two-way switches N
Breaker S1
Here is the second case: a light controlled from two control points.
2 two-way switches are used. When either of the switches is activated, the circuit closes and the light goes on. When either of the switches is activated again, the circuit opens and the light goes off.
As in the previous case, any type of light can be connected in this application.
The two wires interconnecting the two-way switches are called a "Shuttle".
Other, more sophisticated technologies in the Schneider Electric range may also be used for this application.
For infra-red or radio-frequency applications, or when the IHC or KNX systems are used.
But we'll come back to those technologies later on.

10. Three control point circuit
> Essential Applications
Three control point circuit L N
Control a light from 3 different locations
Can be produced with
2 two-way switches intermediate switch
Breaker S1
Now let's look at the third case: a light controlled from three control points.
The solution here is to use 2 two-way switches and a specific switch called an "intermediate" switch.
When one of the switches is activated, the circuit closes and the light goes on. When one of the switches is activated again, the circuit opens and the light goes off.
This application is often found in living rooms and corridors, or in large meeting rooms. In fact, in locations that have at least three entrance doors. A switch is installed beside each door.
As in the previous cases, any type of light can be connected in this application.
And infra-red, radio-frequency, IHC or KNX technologies may also be used. S3 S2

11. Multiple control point circuit or powerful circuits
> Advanced Applications
Multiple control point circuit or powerful circuits L N
Control a light from more than 3 different locations
Can be produced with:
Push-button(s) + impulse relay
1 impulse from PB makes TL switch ON. Another impulse on a PB makes the TL switch OFF
Up to 32 A
Another solution: Use of contactors but according to classification: IEC AC7C
Breaker
Pb1
PB1
PB2
PB3
PB4
Let's continue with the case of a light controlled from three control points or a light that requires a current of more than 10 A. The solution here is to use push-buttons and a product called an "impulse relay".
The push-buttons are connected to a specific input on the impulse relay. The impulse relay has an output that is connected to the light.
Each time a pulse is sent by a push-button, the status of the impulse relay output changes. Either it closes and the light goes on, or it opens and the light goes off. Impulse relays are covered by a wide range of Schneider Electric accessories. To find out more, have a look at the electrical distribution courses.
Depending on wiring practices, some countries don't use this solution. They create separate lighting circuits, limiting the number of control points to three, or else they use a dimmer to perform the function instead of an impulse relay. Check which wiring practices are commonly used in your country.
A course on dimmers is also available in the "Wiring device System M" range.
As in the previous cases, any type of light can be connected behind an impulse relay.
And infra-red, radio-frequency, IHC or KNX technologies may also be used. A1 TL 2 TL 1

Mentioned in the previous slide, here's the basic diagram of the same application using a "Dimmer".
Be careful though: dimmers are sensitive to the types of lights used.
There are dimmers for ohmic loads, such as incandescent or 230 Volt AC halogen lights. There are other dimmers for capacitive loads, dimmers for inductive loads and dimmers with a 1 to 10 Volt DC output for dimmable fluorescent tubes. Refer to the course on Dimmers to find out more.
Fluo-compact lights may not be connected behind dimmers.
Note that all the applications and products mentioned can be installed by electricians or by individuals who shop in DIY stores. 1

13. Alternatives for light control: Infra red solution
> Advanced Applications
Alternatives for light control: Infra red solution L N
Good for controlling a light from at least 2 different locations in the same room.
Can be produced with
An emitter (remote) + a receiver (wall-mounted), including a switch mechanism.
With Infra-red technology, the receiver must see the emitter in order to capture the I-R beam correctly
Application: Residential & small office
Main advantage:
control the light(s) without moving (from the sofa, seniors, disabled people….)
Now let's look at the alternatives to traditional hard-wired components.
Let's begin with "infra-red".
In the wall, we find a 2-way switch fitted with an infra-red receiver.
The switch can be activated manually, like a traditional switch, or by an infra-red remote control, which is an emitter.
At Schneider, the remote control device can control 10 separate lighting circuits and also combine the control of other receivers such as shutters or presence detectors.
Each time a pulse is sent by pressing a button, the receiver captures the infra-red signal and its output is activated. Either it closes and the light goes on, or it opens and the light goes off.
This system is relatively cost-effective for the comfort it provides thanks to the use of remote control.
No more need to get up from the sofa to control the lights in the living room! And no more need for elderly or disabled people to have to move about!
The only limitation of infra-red technology is that the receiver must detect the light beam, meaning that the emitter and receiver must be in the same space or in the same room. R

14. Alternatives for light control: RF system
> Advanced Applications
Alternatives for light control: RF system L N
Principle:
One RF emitter and one (or more) RF receivers are associated
Each receiver can be controlled by several emitters
Each emitter can control several receivers
ON/OFF, Dim Up/Down, Shutter control
Application:
Residential & small offices
Renovation (limited number of wires)
Main advantage:
Control of light through walls
Control of several light circuits
Control of scenes or scenarios.
Wide range of receivers (mobile socket outlet, receiver for ceiling, in walls)
Some Can be mixed with IHC devices R E
For the next alternative, let's look now at "radio-frequency" technology.
It consists of receivers that may be either wall-mounted switches, or switches built into the ceiling.
Wall-mounted receivers can be activated manually, or by radio-frequency remote control. Radio-frequency technology offers several advantages:
- No or few wires to be run in the walls compared to a conventional installation, no more dust from cutting out grooves in the walls, and no plastering, painting or wall-papering to be redone!
- Radio-frequency goes through walls and some floors. This means that control orders can be sent to another room.
- In our RF offers, an emitter can control several receivers. Likewise, a receiver can be controlled by several different emitters.
Based on this, scenes can be created. We'll see this in the next slide.
Schneider Electric offers the Airlink system integrated in the Alvaïs and Unica ranges and the Connect system for the System M and Merten international ranges. Remote control, push-button receiver, socket receiver, ceiling receiver, just to mention a few of the features.
There are specific training courses on these systems.
At this stage, it is more or less recommended that these products be installed by professional electricians.

15. Alternatives for light control: Scenes or scenarios
> Advanced Applications
Alternatives for light control: Scenes or scenarios
What are they?
In lighting, a scene adapts the lights to fit our daily life, to make it easier, and more comfortable.
Examples of scenes at home:
“I'm leaving home" which switches off all the lights (even closes shutters)
No need to go to all the rooms in the house to switch off the lights one by one
“I'm coming home" which could switch on the hall, living room and kitchen lights.
"I'm watching TV" which switches off or dims the lights in that area
“I'm having dinner" which can create an atmosphere by dimming some lights.
Used more and more in home control
Can be created by RF, IHC and KNX devices
Let's get back to what we referred to in the previous slide as scenes or scenarios.
The aim of scenes is to make home life easier and to create comfort.
For a better understanding, let's look at a few examples.
The push-button on the right-hand side of the slide has 4 buttons. Each one is for a typical scene.
For example:
The button on the bottom right means: "I'm leaving home". When this button is pressed, all the lights in the house go off and the shutters close. There's no need to check whether you've forgotten to switch off any of the lights.
The button on the bottom left means: "I'm coming home". When this button is pressed, you can imagine that the lights in the entrance, living room and kitchen would go on.
The button on the top left means: "I'm watching TV", for a specific lighting setup for TV viewing.
And the button at the top right means: "I'm having dinner" and creates an appropriate lighting atmosphere.
The word "scene" refers to the creation of specific lighting atmospheres for situations in our day-to-day lives.
Schneider Electric offers several technologies capable of creating scenes: the radio-frequency offer and the IHC, KNX and LON systems.

16. Timer What is it? What for?
> Advanced Applications
Timer What is it? What for?
Keep the light ON for a predefined time after switch-on
Applications: staircases, halls, corridors
Main advantage:
Save energy
This function can also be done in some Wiring device range, IHC, KNX or LON solutions L N
Breaker
PB1
MIN
Now let's move on to time-delayed lighting.
When someone pushes a button, the light goes on for given time period and then switches off automatically at the end of that time.
This is typically the case for stairways in apartment buildings. People take the stairs or pass through the corridors and then leave without turning off the lights. A product called a "timer" is used for this sequence.
At Schneider Electric, there are two versions of these products: an enclosure or DIN rail mounted version and a wall-mounted version to match the switch ranges.
The wall-mounted version can be used in shop toilets or even in the halls of homes.
These products contribute to energy savings by avoiding lights staying on for no purpose.
For example, in a home where children regularly forget to switch off the lights as they move from one room to the next.

17. Time switch What is it? What for?
> Advanced Applications
Time switch What is it? What for?
Switch ON every day at the same time
Switch OFF every day at the same time
Weekly/yearly program
Several time slots/day
Applications: Car park lighting, shop front windows lighting,

IHP
Breaker
Let's look at the case of lighting that is supposed to switch on at a fixed time. Here, the lighting circuit is connected to a programmable time switch. The lighting can be switched on and off by time slots, every day of the year. For example: To control the lighting in a company car park, which is on from 4:30 to 8 a.m. for the arrival of employees and from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. when they leave. Outside these time slots, the lights are off, as well as on weekends or when the company closes for summer holidays. Other examples could be: shop windows, neon signs or schoolyards… Time switches can also be used for other applications such as automatic watering systems, swimming pools and so on. Like all of our timers, time switches can be enclosure mounted or wall-mounted products. Sometimes, time switches can be connected in parallel with light-sensitive movement detectors. At a certain time of the night, the time switch switches off the lighting, but the detector automatically switches on when it detects a presence. The detectors have an internal timer that allows switching off after a certain time. The typical case would be a service station with bank card type petrol pumps. At about 11 p.m., the time switch switches off the lights. From 11 p.m. to 5 a.m., lighting is managed by the movement detector. Then, at 5 a.m., the time switch switches the lights on again until 8 a.m.
As an option, a switch can be wired in parallel for override.

Twilight switch What is it? What for?
Breaker L N IC
Switch
(Optional)
Switch ON when the outdoor light is not sufficient
Switch OFF when the outdoor light increases
Applications: External lightings / Professional buildings, parkings
Main advantage:
Save energy by adjusting the necessary time to switch on.
Improve comfort and security of people (not to search push button in the darkness)
This function can be done in IHC or KNX solution
Now let's look at the case of lighting controlled by a twilight switch.
Note that this is not constant lighting, which we'll see later on, but ON/OFF lighting.
A brightness sensor is installed outside the building. It switches on the outdoor lighting when daylight fades at the end of the day and switches it on again when daylight returns at dawn.

Brightness
Brightness set point 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11
Let's look closer at how a twilight switch works.
The basic product is fitted with a cell that measures the ambient brightness. It has a brightness set point.
When the ambient brightness goes below the set point, the product switches on the lights. It switches them off when the brightness level goes above the set point again.
These products are also fitted with filters so that drops in brightness due to passing clouds are not taken into account.
However, it is not advisable for them to be installed in locations where they are liable to be disturbed by light coming from nearby public lighting or the headlights of oncoming vehicles.
More high-end products can also be equipped with the time switch function so as only to operate on certain days of the week or during certain lighting time slots.
And, for the same applications, there are products that do not have brightness sensors but call for the entry of the geographic coordinates of the location in which the product is installed. They are set to switch the lights off and on according to "theoretical" sunrise and sunset. These products also include the time switch function. For example, in our range, the IC Astro product.

This system, Schneider Electric's own, is dedicated to residential applications or small professional buildings.
The system includes a central unit containing a processor that is programmed by software.
Input-output modules are connected to the central unit.
The input modules are used to connect standard components such as push-buttons, brightness sensors, presence detectors, gas detectors, and so on.
The output modules are used to connect lighting circuits, shutter circuits, heating valve circuits, etc. The system is not limited to lighting circuits; it can be used to control the entire building.
A software tool is used to programme all types of building operation: from simple lighting to the most complex scene.
The IHC can manage everything in the home, including remote access by Internet and links with radio-frequency components.
This is all covered by a special course on the IHC.
However, you should be aware that the IHC was designed for electricians with some IT knowledge.

Applications: Medium to large size buildings (and high end residential)
Main advantage:
Flexibility of programming
Can manage a large quantity of devices such as lighting, shutters, heating, …
The KNX and LON buses. These are field-buses dedicated to large professional building applications. KNX is also sometimes found in high-end residential buildings. Schneider Electric’s ranges of KNX and LON components include dedicated modules for dimmers that can control any type of load and dim lighting connected to the lighting bus called DALI. A few more words about the buses. Here, there is no central unit. Each component has its own "KNX or LON intelligence", which enables the components to communicate. KNX and LON are covered by European building communication standards. This means they are "open" systems and each manufacturer can propose products that meet the standards. KNX and LON can accept a very large number of components and long buses, making them truly suitable for large-size buildings. And one of their strong points is the energy savings they can provide by intelligent management: the switching on and off of lights according to the use of spaces, and the management of heating and shutters. In terms of business, there are several parts to be distinguished:
- First, sales: the systems are sold by project, so to sell them, you need to consult specifiers and people who tender, such as "large contractors".
- Secondly, hardware installation: this can be done by contractors or electricians specialised in professional buildings.
- And programming: this calls for particular knowledge of the software and products installed.

Just to give you a look at installations on the KNX or LON bus, here’s an overview.
The system is made up of feeders to power the actuators, and a bus, with a twisted cable pair interconnecting all the components. Each component installed has the dialogue interface in its internal memory to be able to send and receive messages via the bus.
At one end, we find "actuators" used to control shutters and blinds applications and regulate heating and lighting.
At the other end, we have "sensors" used to connect push-buttons, time switches and timers, presence detectors, wind sensors, brightness sensors, touch screens and so on.
With the programme-implemented setup, any type of building application can be created.

> Advanced Applications
Constant light What is it? What for?
Lighting
level
Outdoor light
Lux
Internal dimming
Keep the same level of light in an area whatever the fluctuations in outdoor light
Applications: Offices ( Dimmable fluorescent tubes)
Main advantage:
Save energy by continual adjustment to the right level of light
Improve comfort of people by eliminating variations of light
In this case, the function is to maintain the same level of light in a room regardless of the light from outdoors.
The components continuously measure brightness and automatically dim the lights up or down to smoothly regulate the level of brightness in the room.
This function avoids sudden variations in brightness which people generally don't like and avoids people working in the dark. Sometimes people concentrating on a task may not notice that the light is failing and go on working in the dark.
Also, with continuous adjustment of the level of light, lighting consumption is automatically adapted to fit the need.
Result: The indoor level of lighting remains the same at the predefined value

Presence & brightness sensor
Dimmable Fluorescent tubes
KNX technology offers this function. The Argus presence detector with light control constantly measures the brightness in the room. As soon as it detects movement and the brightness in the room is below the defined set point, it dims up the lights to the desired brightness value, for instance 500, lux. According to changes in external brightness, Argus adjusts the artificial light by smoothly dimming up or down in small steps. When no more movement is detected, the light is switched off. The user can have an effect on automatic light control by means of a push-button, for example. The set point can be changed or the user can switch automatic control on and off. Automatic light control can be used in places such as offices, corridors, entrance halls, airports, train stations, libraries and so on. The automatic light control function in Argus can also be used without the movement detector. In this case, a push-button or a time switch is used to switch the function on and off. Dimming actuators can be universal dimming actuators for halogen lamps and 1 to 10 V control units, or DALI-gateways for fluorescent lights.
