Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of setting the threshold value for a turn-on/turn-off functionality of a light detector.
  • the light detector In order to be able to meet the conditions that are encountered in practical use, the light detector is to be adjustable to the effect that its threshold value is caused to be somewhere between 0 and 1000 lux.
  • a potentiometer is used for setting the threshold value of the light detector. If, for instance, the light detector is located in a comparatively dark passage, it may be very difficult to adjust the threshold value to a setting of about eg 50 lux, as the potentiometer will be experienced as being extremely sensitive and difficult to set.
  • a known solution for improving the options of setting the threshold value is a logarithmic scale, whereby the left half of the travelling of the potentiometer is used for setting from 0 to 100 lux, while the right half is used for setting from 100 to 1000 lux.
  • Another solution is a switch that switches the setting range of the potentiometer between a low range, eg 0 to 100 lux, and a high range, eg 100 to 1000 lux. It is the object of the invention to provide a method by which, compared to the prior art, a more accurate setting of the threshold value is accomplished, irrespective of how high or low the corresponding light level is.
  • the light detector is caused to be in a calibration state; that the light intensity is measured a predetermined period of time after the light detector has been caused to be in the calibration state; that the dynamic range of the setting of the threshold value is redefined electronically in dependence of the measured light intensity; and that the light detector is caused to leave its calibration state.
  • the light detector is caused to assume the calibration state by a potentiometer being set in an extreme position.
  • the dynamic range can be redefined purely electronically by means of eg a microprocessor as will be explained at a later stage.
  • the scale is redefined such that two-thirds deflection of the potentiometer corresponds to the light intensity that is measured in the calibration state.
  • the invention also relates to a light detector for exercising the method, which light detector comprises a light sensor and a calibration unit for setting of a threshold value for the turn-on/turn-off functionality of the light detector.
  • the light detector is characterised in that an activation means is provided for bringing the calibration unit to a calibration state, where the light intensity is measured; and that the dynamic range for setting the calibration unit depends on the measured light intensity in the calibration state.
  • Figure 1 shows a flow chart of the adjustment process according to the invention
  • Figure 2 shows an example of a flow chart of an embodiment for redefining an adjustment range
  • Figure 3 schematically shows a number of components of the light detector that are important to the invention.
  • Figure 1 shows a number of operations for redefining the dynamic range for setting the threshold value of the light detector. Neither setting of threshold value nor redefining in accordance with the invention is performed until after the light detector has been mounted in the use position. Then an adjustment of the threshold value is performed by 1 , and if it is easy to adjust the threshold value, no further action is taken. If, however, it turns out that it is difficult to set the threshold value, it is due to the fact that the current background light has an intensity that entails that a potentiometer (see figure 3) is to be adjusted only very little to set a desired threshold value. According to the invention, the scale of the potentiometer is redefined as will be explained below.
  • the meter must first be caused to be in a calibration state, which is, in the preferred embodiment, accomplished by turning the potentiometer being turned completely to the left (see figure 3). That is detected by a microprocessor in the light detector, and thereby a signal light is lit to the effect that the operator has the time to move before the current background light is measured.
  • the redefinition process 7 from figure 1 will be explained in further detail.
  • Tmax Ki ⁇ L, wherein Tmax corresponds to the light value desired to be represented by the one extreme position of the potentiometer.
  • Tmin Tmax - K 2 is determined, wherein Tmin corresponds to the light value desired to be represented by the other extreme position of the potentiometer.
  • FIG. 3 schematically shows a number of components that are necessary for the invention to work.
  • 10 is designated a complete apparatus, eg a PIR movement sensor or other electrical equipment that depends on a light detector with a well defined threshold value, wherein what is set forth underneath the line L relates to the components that are necessary for the light detector, whereas what is set forth above the line L constitutes the remainder of the apparatus.
  • the entire apparatus has a common power supply 11 , while the particular application has its own application hardware 12.
  • the light detector according to the invention can also be a stand-alone unit and merely comprise the components that will be described below.
  • a microprocessor is shown which is connected to a light detector 14 and an adjustment unit 15. Moreover, eg a light diode 16 is provided for signalling the state of the light detector.
  • a potentiometer is outlined, and if, eg in step 1 in figure 1 , it turns out that the scale of the potentiometer is inconvenient for the adjustment of the threshold value, a redefinition of the adjustment range of the potentiometer is performed in accordance with the invention.
  • the potentiometer is turned completely to the left in accordance with a preferred embodiment and as shown in the box 18. This is detected by the microprocessor which turns on the diode 16 to indicate that the operator has to move, see step 4 in figure 1.
  • the micro-controller 13 along with the application hardware 12 can be configured such that predetermined lamps are turned off such that the room is brought to a reference state. Then the current background light is measured, following which the adjustment range for the potentiometer is redefined, see the explanation to figure 2. Following the redefinition, the potentiometer in the box 17 can be used to accomplish a precise adjustment of the threshold value, due to the measurement range of the potentiometer now being brought in accordance with the background illumination with a sufficient sensitivity. By a preferred embodiment, the potentiometer is redefined such that a two-thirds deflection of the potentiometer corresponds to the light intensity that is measured in the calibration state.

Abstract

L’invention concerne un procédé de réglage d’une valeur seuil d’une fonctionnalité de mise en tension/mise hors tension pour un détecteur de lumière. Selon l’invention, la valeur seuil est redéfinie par voie électronique en réponse à une intensité lumineuse qui est mesuré dans un état d’étalonnage. Un détecteur permettant d’appliquer le procédé comporte un microprocesseur (13) destiné à contrôler le processus d’étalonnage en fonction d’un moyen d’actionnement convivial (18) dans le détecteur.
