Introduction to this guide Thank you for choosing Philips EasyAir SNS212 MC. In this guide luminaire manufacturers will find the information required to design this product into a luminaire and configure it to suit specific applications. This design-in guide covers sensor functionality, mechanical mounting, wiring details, configuration and commissioning (grouping) method, application notes and frequently asked questions.
Warnings and instructions • EasyAir SNS212 MC must be used with SR LED drivers, e.g. Philips Xitanium SR drivers. • Do not apply mains power directly to the sensor. • Do not cover the sensor during operation or mount the sensor internal to the luminaire.
Introduction of EasyAir SNS212 MC The Philips EasyAir SNS212 MC is the ideal solution for per-luminaire control of smart luminaires. It is the future proof successor of Philips EasyAir SNS210 MC. Occupancy sensing, daylight harvesting and task tuning are combined in a single, compact package for easy OEM luminaire assembly.
• Zigbee/BLE • Light sensor antenna • LED indicator EasyAir SNS212 MC is designed for a typical indoor environment (open/private offices, conference rooms, classrooms, corridors, etc.) in normally heated and ventilated areas. The sensor is normally mounted to a luminaire and is optimized for a sensor mounting height of 2.5 m to 3 m.

To prevent false triggers, the EasyAir SNS212 MC must be mounted more than 2 m away from air vents in all directions, see figures below: > 2m Luminaire > 2m > 2m > 2m Sensor view shield The sensor comes with an occupancy view shield that can be used to block the movement detection by the sensor in a certain area.
The EasyAir SNS212 MC converts the illuminance signal into ON/OFF or dimming commands to the Philips Xitanium SR LED driver in order to maintain a constant light level on the desk. Window The sensor should be installed with a minimum distance of 0.6 m to the window to avoid the sensor looking outside.
"Calibrate Daylight Sensor". Leave the room. • To calibrate, the light output of the luminaires first goes to a low level and to a high level before it regulates to the set light level. April 2023 Design-in Guide - EasyAir SNS212 MC...

Xitanium SR LED driver less than 2 m and meet the wire gauge requirement to guarantee the performance. Luminaire-to-luminaire distance If multiple luminaires with EasyAir SNS212 MC are used in the same area, the distance between the different sensors should be kept at least 1.5 m. This distance will minimize a sensor from “seeing”...
Mounting in a luminaire EasyAir SNS212 MC is a luminaire-mount sensor that is LED module directly powered by a Xitanium SR LED driver. It can be mounted to a slot or a cut-out in sheet metal. SNS212 Light shield Note: When daylight sensing is enabled, it is advised to...
Mounting in a bracket (SMB-50) 65 Max. The EasyAir SNS212 MC can be mounted in a bracket (SMB 50). Refer the figures for details on mounting and design- in into luminaire. All dimensions are in mm. 26 Max. 64 Max.
Installing EasyAir SNS212 MC with ceiling mount bracket (CMP/W) The ceiling mount CMP bracket is available as a bracket without any pre-mounted sensor or cable. The luminaire manufacturer needs to mount the sensor in the CMP bracket and attach cable to it. The cable and screws are available with the accessory.
For a network application using a gateway, the labels can be used to identify a luminaire and where it is installed in the building. • Label 1 - Apply to the luminaire • Label 2 - Apply to the floor plan • Label 3 - Remains on the sensor April 2023 Design-in Guide - EasyAir SNS212 MC...
RSET2 NEUTRAL SGND LINE Each SR driver provides approximately 55mA of current on NFC ANTENNA the DALI bus, and EasyAir SNS212 MC is limited to 250mA. Connectors LED+ EasyAir SNS212 MC sends commands to all connected LED+ LED- Enable DALI PS LED- drivers (using broadcast command);...
Luminaire Production Test To ensure that a luminaire has been assembled correctly i.e. the wiring of the EasyAir SNS212 MC sensor to Xitanium SR driver is correct; a visible check can be made. The luminaire on power up dims up to 30% of maximum light output in the 1st second followed by dimming up to 100% in the next second.
Can you use a wall dimmer with EasyAir SNS212 MC? SNS212 MC can be used with a wireless wall dimmer, e.g., Zigbee green power switch.

Does EasyAir SNS212 MC make sense if I only want to do Yes. Keep “Occupancy Control” enabled in MC App and occupancy sensing? disable “Daylight Control” Is EasyAir SNS212 MC “failsafe”? Unlike traditional occupancy sensors, EasyAir SNS212 MC does not have a mechanical relay. This is a benefit of Philips SR LED drivers, as on/off is done relay-free within the driver.
