FOREWORD
Bringing sophisticated lighting controls to non-residential buildings typically meant extra set of control
wire networking, labor intensive installation and complicated wiring connections among system devices,
luminaires and central controls, device configurations and system commissioning through proprietary
management software. All above works result in more time up and down the ladder, separate wiring
schematic, high levels of complexity, and also higher ownership costs. These adverse factors are known
as the major barriers that restrain the market development of smart lighting control.
With the availability of advanced wireless communication technologies, such as ZigBee, Bluetooth
Low Energy (BLE) and WiFi, wireless technology undoubtedly becomes the most feasible solution
for achieving smart lighting controls. Nevertheless, most existing wireless solutions are still quite
complicated to implement in commercial and industrial applications, especially the existing buildings.
While the Internet of Things (IoT) becoming a hot topic for many industries, people should realize a
hard fact that a wireless mesh network (WMN) would have to be broadly deployed in the environments
to enable the IoT operation. The lighting infrastructure, both indoors and outdoors, is a perfect WMN
platform for collecting and carrying information to improve productivity, enhance the quality of life, create
new services, increase sustainability, and reduce operating costs.
The real challenge comes from finding a solution that not only can easily achieve even the most
sophisticated lighting control, but also cost effectively deploy a wireless mesh network that can be
applied for IoT or other smart controls in the future.

Achieving Smart Lighting Controls with Ease
Introducing the OS-NET from IR-TEC, a second-to-none wireless occupancy sensor network solution
developed for lighting industry to enable smart lighting control with unsurpassed level of Flexibility,
Functionality and Simplicity.
By simply installing the luminaires and lighting circuits integrated with OS-NET Sensors featuring smart
sensing controls and networking capabilities, a ZigBee based wireless mesh network can be effortlessly
deployed to execute different sensing control schemes, including occupancy or vacancy sensing with
daylight harvesting, bi-level StepDIM or continuous SmartDIM control for commercial and industrial lighting
systems through wireless communication.
With easy and intuitive settings via a handheld remote programmer, the OS-NET Sensors can be
programmed in an individual or a group basis to execute specific control scheme to the connected lights
under the concept of “individual sensing control, group activation”. If necessary, the installed OS-NET
enabled lighting can be easily re-configured to provide different control schemes or re-assigned to a new
group.
IR-TEC’s OS-NET is not only a simple solution for OEM manufacturers to enable their luminaires with
embedded smart control and wireless connectivity, but also a perfect solution for renovating the legacy
lighting with solid state lighting featuring maximum energy savings from human-centric smart controls.
2 OS-NET
Unsurpassed Flexibility, Functionality and Simplicity
All functionalities in one and one for all controls
Each OS-NET Sensor is packed with all sensing and control functionalities to meet all kinds of control
requirements. Specific sensing control scheme can be easily set to execute even the most sophisticated
control to the connected lights without requiring complicated devices and commissioning.
Deploy an IoT usable mesh network effortlessly
A ZigBee based wireless mesh network can be effortlessly and broadly deployed together with the lighting
system of commercial and industrial environments. A wireless mesh network broadly established throughout
the entire space will be a valuable infrastructure for Internet of Things (IoT).
Flexible integration allows the same installation
The OS-NET Sensor can be flexibly integrated with OEM luminaire or mounted on the ceiling for lighting
circuit control. Unparalleled integration flexibility allows the installation of OS-NET enabled lighting system
just like installing the conventional luminaires, occupancy sensors and wall switches.
Single device can be member of multiple groups
A single OS-NET device can be assigned as member of up to 4 groups. This allows multiple lighting groups
to be activated simultaneously by the sensor located at the spot with multi-directional traffics. Advanced
group control setting enables pre-lighting or directional guide lighting at public places.
Individual sensing control with group activation
When a specific OS-NET Sensor of the group detects the presence of occupant, the sensor not only controls
the connected lighting as set according to the local condition, but also broadcasts the occupancy status for
other devices of the group to activate the programmed controls respectively.
Hybrid Switching protects from inrush current
An advanced Hybrid Switching technology is employed to protect every OS-NET sensor from being
damaged by exceptionally high inrush current while switching on the LED driver. With Hybrid Switching
protection, the service lifetime of OS-NET load switching device is guaranteed much longer.
SmartDIM constant lighting control technology
SmartDIM control can be programmed in every OS-NET sensor to perform constant lighting control. This
advanced dimming control technology will continuously adjust the lighting output to maintain the overall light
level within a preset range based on the occupancy status and ambient light level.
Universal 2-way IR remote programming tool
Unlike many other network control solutions, OS-NET does not require any proprietary management
software, operation app or expensive hardware to run the system. All you need is just a 2-way IR remote to
set up the network, group the devices, set the control scheme, and all other configurations.
OS-NET 3
Enable Sophisticated Controls with Simple Devices
An OS-NET is built-up with numerous wirelessly linked OS-NET devices, which include OS-NET Sensors and
OS-NET Buttons. Each OS-NET device not only provides its specific control functionality, but also acts as a node
that can transmit, receive, and/or forward the communication commands within the wireless network.
OS-NET Sensors
The OS-NET Sensors (ONS) are fundamental OS-NET devices. Each ONS is packed with multiple sensing
control functionalities, including occupancy/vacancy sensing, ambient light sensing, 0-10V or DALI dimming,
together with wireless mesh networking capabilities required for smart lighting control. The ONS are available in
two different form factors, namely Omni ONS and Mini ONS.
Omni ONS
The Omni ONS can be flexibly integrated with an OEM luminaire or
mounted on the ceiling in different options. Changeable lens options
allow the Omni ONS to be used from typical office to high bay
applications with different coverage. Detailed information of Mounting
with lens F and Lens options are available on the Appendix page.

Mini ONS
The Mini ONS is a low profile OS-NET Sensor with a small flat
lens specially designed for through-hole assembly with office
luminaire such as Troffer or side-lit LED panel light.
OS-NET Buttons (ONB)
The OS-NET Button is an optional network
device designed to replace the existing
wall switch, and provide manual on-off and
dimming control to the lighting of assigned
group wirelessly. OS-NET Buttons are available
in two different form factors; the ON-PBD-815
is for mounting into standard EURO type wall
box, the ON-PBD-705 is for mounting into
standard NEMA wall box. ON-PBD-815 ON-PBD-705
OS-NET Remote
The OS-NET Remote is a universal programming tool to
conduct the network setup, device grouping and control
settings. 2-way IR communication with LCD instructions
allows you to easily select the target network device to
assign the group and set the sensing control scheme
intuitively.
