application guide aged care This application guide contains information on: q Assistive Living solutions using the Dynalite control system Integration with airconditioning Integration with security and nurse call systems Control of equipment such as blinds and floor heating Control through wall mount touchscreens Monitoring through motion sensors The Philips Dynalite control system lends itself well to providing a safe and secure living environment for the elderly. Living facilities that incorporate this type of technology can afford the occupants much greater independence and in doing so, ease the burden on health services infrastructure. This type of accommodation is often referred to as assistive living. These residences are often built in complexes where all are connected to a central monitoring office that can readily dispatch nurses or alternative health care services through a nurse call type system. The typical assistive living unit incorporates smart sensors that can monitor activity during nominated times and flag potential emergency situations much earlier. In addition to this, services such as heating and airconditioning can be easily monitored through user-friendly touchscreens. The security system can also be interfaced to the same touchscreen to alleviate the complexity associated with several dedicated control panels. Other servers such as electric blinds and curtains can also be controlled from lighting control panels to reduce the complexity and effort, in addition to allowing automated control take care of day-to-day, potentially strenuous, activities. Smoke sensors are interfaced into the Philips Dynalite system to allow early warning of potential fire hazards by illuminating egress paths. The occupants can also alert monitoring staff through nurse call controls on the touchscreen or lighting control panels. Different lighting settings can also make the unit much safer, avoiding potential accidents while moving around in the unit during the night. typical layout Philips Dynalite Application Guide Aged Care Page 1 of 8
system outline All the internal lighting is dimmable and labeled from D1-D4. Lighting in the courtyard and vanity is nondimmable labeled R1 & R2. Lamp numbers per lighting group are kept low so not to over light the areas. Smaller lighting groups allow for more effective and efficient lighting design and flexible control solutions. This allows for scenes to be created by having multiple lighting groups set to different levels to suit the user s requirements. To facilitate the use of such a lighting plan, the DIN series of controllers lend themselves perfectly to the task. The Dynalite DIN series controllers occupy a smaller footprint require less real estate in the distribution board and have many independently controlled channels that have a low rating. In this example, the floor-heating and airconditioning are monitored by Philips Dynalite through the use of DTS900 temperature sensor (DTS1) in the living room. Every room that has floor-heating also uses a temperature sensor (for simplicity, this detail is not depicted in the diagram on the following page). The DTS900 temperature sensor can be programmed to provide temperature feedback for the area it s installed, to the Philips Dynalite control system. If the temperature reaches a particular set point, the sensor will automatically send a message through the Dynet network that will switch off the floor heating or airconditioning system. The same network message could also be used to trigger other events if required. The temperature trigger levels are set through the touchscreen and can be manually activated from there or from any of the control panels. In addition, a touchscreen can display the current ambient temperature of any area from the DTS900 for system feedback. Different services within the accommodation can be integrated together to achieve advanced functions. For example, the lighting control motion detector can activate and de-activate when the security system is armed and disarmed. In this scenario, the motion sensors are programmed to detect movement over defined times after the security system is disarmed by the occupant. If no movement has been detected for a certain period of time, a call is sent to a monitoring office, flagging the possibility of a medical emergency. In addition, the touchscreen and all control panels have the ability to flag the same type of alert if the nominated button is pressed longer than three seconds. The smoke sensors are interfaced to the Philips Dynalite system and will generate a similar type of alert back to the estates security in the event of fire hazard. Multiple functions can be triggered when one of the alarms is activated such as all lights are turned to full and the blinds and curtains opened. In addition, the occupants can wear a thirdparty radio frequency (RF) pendant transmitter with a panic button. The third-party RF receiver can detect this remote press (from within the unit) and communicate back through the Philips Dynalite system, the need for an alarm to be triggered to the estates security. Within the bathroom, there is a water solenoid that prevents water overflow or the likelihood of water scalding if it s been accidentally left on. The third-party water level and temperature sensor provides feedback to the Philips Dynalite control system so that it can turn off the water valve (R12) and triggers an audible alarm so the occupant knows that the water temperature maybe too hot (or cold).

The Philips Dynalite touchscreen allows occupants to trigger the security system and can display predefined messages from the monitoring office such as RECREATION EVENTS ON MONDAY. Several PANIC buttons are configured on the lighting control panels, in addition to the RF pendant worn by each occupant. When these buttons are pressed, the PANIC alarm alerts the monitoring office in addition to illuminating all the lights in the unit. Furthermore, all the electrical appliances are switched off to prevent the possibility of electrical fires. the equipment the system in operation The lighting control panels mounted in each of the areas in the unit provide control for the lighting groups and other related equipment in each immediate area. The touchscreens are capable of controlling every area around the home from the one location. A DDNP1501 network power supply can be used to supplement the network, as user interface requires power that supplied to the network by the load controllers could be exceeded, due to the presence of the Philips Dynalite touchscreen.

Twin & Earth Micro Processor SHLD GND D+ D- +15v AUX C N/O N/C C N/O N/C Neutral Down Up All blinds are connected to the DDRC810DT-GL in the following manner. M Earth Up Down 240V Control Supply 240V Motor Supply C N/O N/C C N/O N/C Step Down TRX Relay Coils 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Any of the lighting control panels can be programmed to drive individual blinds or groups of blinds either up or down from a single button press. Floor heating is controlled by connecting the power directly to the output of the DDRC820FR due to the high currents associated with these appliances. The Philips Dynalite system can then activate the floor heating elements at programmed times. When the floor-heating element is active the temperature is then monitored by the DTS900. This equipment is connected in the following way. The water valves are connected to the DDRC810DT-GL in addition to feedback from the third party water level sensor through the AUX input of this same device. The sensor used in this installation provides a contact closure upon detecting pre-defined water levels. Page 4 of 8 Philips Dynalite Application Guide Aged Care
The third-party water temperature sensor is connected to another DDMC802 s AUX input and is also programmed to control the water valve in the same way as above. As all the devices are connected to the same network, features can be triggered from any of the controllers. A security system can be interfaced to Philips Dynalite through a dry contact closure to trigger the required response from the lighting control system. Upon the ALARM or PANIC event, the security system provides the Philips Dynalite system with a contact closure via one of the AUX inputs as described above. This action then flags this event to the monitoring station and turns on all of the lights in the unit if required. Philips Dynalite Application Guide Aged Care Page 5 of 8
This same activity can be also be triggered from a lighting control panel that incorporates a programmed PANIC button. This button can be programmed so that it must be pressed for at least three seconds to avoid inadvertent or accidental triggers. When activated it signals the duress alarm to the security system and/or the nurse call system by breaking the normally closed dry contact input, as shown above. The Philips Dynalite touchscreen can control all the equipment connected to the Philips Dynalite system. It does this by displaying simple pages of controls to the homeowner as shown below. The Philips Dynalite lighting control panels throughout the unit are programmed to do more than activate lights On and Off. Panels in main living areas such as the living/family room have the ability to control blinds and the Nurse Call system. A typical display on the touchscreen is as follows. Lights Blinds PANIC Balcony The first button on this panel dims the lights in the room up and down. By pressing and holding the button, this will cause the lights within the area to dim up or down. The Blinds button will operate the blinds in that room in a sequence of presses. The first press will raise the blinds, the second press will stop the blinds and the third press will lower the blinds, in that order. The PANIC button flags a call both to the Nurse Call system and security system simultaneously. The Balcony button activates the lights on the balcony. All button functions are completely configurable to suit the required needs of the facility. load controllers One of the controllers used in this example project is the DDMC802GL. This channels of this unit can be individually fitted with a range of different module types to suit the control requirements. The following table details the different control modules used. This load schedule also outlines all the devices found in the distribution board. Page 6 of 8 Philips Dynalite Application Guide Aged Care
The DDMC802 mixed controller is used for dimming the lamps within the unit. One controller (Box 1) has been fitted with a four-channel relay module (LSRM402 4 x 2A) and a four-channel leading edge dimming module (LSDM402 4 x 2A). Further dimming controllers could be fitted with 2 x LSDM402 modules if there was a requirement for more control channels. The DDRC810DT-GL is used to switch Extra Low Voltage (ELV) loads such as the water valve solenoid that s usually powered by a 24VDC power supply. ELV loads must never be switched on this same device when switching 240VAC loads. The DDRC820FR unit is a relay device used to switch the heavy control loads such a floor heating. load schedule Load Controller Cct Capacity Drawing Designator Fixture Qty Load DDMC802 Box 1 C1 240W D1 LV Downlight 50W 3 150W* DDMC802 Box 1 C2 240W D2 LV Downlight 50W 4 200W DDMC802 Box 1 C3 240W D3 LV Downlight 50W 4 200W DDMC802 Box 1 C4 240W D4 LV Downlight 50W 2 100W DDMC802 Box 1 C5 240W R1 T5 Linear fluorescent 18W 1 18W DDMC802 Box 1 C6 240W R2 Incandescent uplight 50W 1 50W DDMC802 Box 1 C7 DDMC802 Box 1 C8 240W 240W DDRC810DT Box 2 C1 240W R3 Blind motor 1 500W DDRC810DT Box 2 C2 240W R4 Blind motor 1 500W DDRC810DT Box 2 C3 240W R5 Blind motor 1 500W DDRC810DT Box 2 C4 240W R6 Blind motor 1 500W DDRC810DT Box 2 C5 240W R7 Blind motor 1 500W DDRC810DT Box 2 C6 240W R8 Blind motor 1 500W DDRC810DT Box 2 C7 DDRC810DT Box 2 C8 240W 240W DDRC810DT Box 3 C1 R12 ELV water solenoid 1 500W DDRC810DT Box 3 C2 Air Conditioning ELV Dry contact 1 500W DDRC810DT Box 3 C3 DDRC810DT Box 3 C4 DDRC810DT Box 3 C5 DDRC810DT Box 3 C6 DDRC810DT Box 3 C7 DDRC810DT Box 3 C8 DDRC820FR Box 4 C1 4800W R9 Floor heating 1 4800W DDRC820FR Box 4 C2 4800W R10 Floor heating 1 4800W DDRC820FR Box 4 C3 4800W R11 Floor heating 1 4800W DDRC820FR Box 4 C4 DDRC820FR Box 4 C5 DDRC820FR Box 4 C6 4800W 4800W 4800W Philips Dynalite Application Guide Aged Care Page 7 of 8
