Glossary of Terms

Common terms used throughout the Keilton+autani app and this guide.

Term Meaning
Auto Mode Automatic operation where lights respond to occupancy and daylight based on their sensor settings (vs. a manual level).
Bluetooth Mesh The self-forming wireless network the devices use to communicate. No gateway or internet is required for local control.
Bridge (CR04 / BG01) A device that connects the Keilton system to external building-automation or RS-485 systems.
Circadian Rhythm Automatic color-temperature/level changes over the day to support occupant well-being.
Commissioning The process of adding, naming, grouping, and configuring devices to set up a working lighting-control system.
Daylight Harvesting Dimming electric light in response to available daylight to save energy while maintaining a target light level.
Dim Level The reduced light level a fixture holds after the first time delay (T1) elapses with no motion.
FlashNet The technology behind Quick Commission — the FL30 flashlight activates a fixture's photo sensor so the app can add it.
Force Sync A manual command (More page) that pushes zone/commissioning data to the cloud.
Group A collection of lights controlled together.
Linkage Neighboring groups holding a reduced "linkage" level when an adjacent group is active (e.g., for corridors/egress).
LLLC Luminaire-Level Lighting Control — sensors/controllers integrated at each fixture.
Manual OFF Override A setting controlling whether a manual OFF is held until changed, or returns to auto after a delay.
NLC Networked Lighting Control.
Photocell The light sensor used for daylight harvesting and photocell (on/off by ambient light) control.
Plug Load Controller A controllable receptacle that appears on the Lights page and can be grouped/linked with lights.
PWM Frequency Pulse-width-modulation dimming frequency, tuned via the Spiral Engineering app.
QR Code (Admin vs User) Encrypted per-zone access credential. Admin QR grants full configuration rights; User QR grants control only.
Rated Power A light's wattage, entered so the app can estimate energy use.
Scene A saved preset of light levels/colors activated with one tap.
Sensor-Ready Controller A controller prepared to accept an external sensor.
Signal Booster (RP0) A device that extends mesh coverage; must be associated with the zone being commissioned.
T1 / T2 (Time Delays) T1 = delay before dimming to the reduced level after no motion; T2 = delay before turning fully off.
Template A reusable set of light/sensor settings applied to many fixtures at once.
Trim (High / Low-End / Top / Bottom) Maximum/minimum output limits set for a fixture (some are tuned in the Spiral Engineering app).
Zone The fundamental commissioning boundary — a set of devices managed together (max ~100 devices).
