Introduction
The NatureConnect system is based on biophilic design principles, which uses elements of nature and natural analogues in indoor spaces to make people feel happy and healthy. Unlike traditional lighting which focuses on visual benefits, NatureConnect
additionally brings the biological and emotional benefits of lighting. It reconnects us with the constant cycles and variations ofnature for comfortable, engaging and attractive indoor environments.

NatureConnect luminaires

NatureConnect link is the gateway thatcreates the NatureConnect light experience. It is programmed with 5 lighting
scenes plus OFF status.

Presence sensors
helps to reduce the power consumption. They can be programmed in a way that when no occupancy is detected, inside
the room, they send the signal to the NatureConnect link, toactivate “Day Rhythm low” scene or to turn off the luminaires.
When presence is detected it goes automatically to “Dayrhythm”.

Commissioning
You will need a device that supports Interact commissioning app. (e.g. smartphone or a tablet)with Bluetooth technology.

C What to do when system responds incorrectly to the inputs from the switch
It can happen that the scene is saved incorrectly and that the system does not respond or
triggers the wrong light experience when pressing a scene button on the switch.
This typically happens when you do not wait for 5 seconds between changing the color temperature and pressing the create button.
Change the color temperature of the Energize scene to a wrong value on purpose (eg. 6600K)
and save.

setting CCT, before
clicking on “Save”

Change the color temperature of the Energize scene back to correct value (2800K) and save.
