Active+ Mobile

Helvar Components

About this app

This app is for adjusting settings in the new Helvar Active+ solution. To use this app, you must have an approved smartphone running Android v4.0+ equipped with an LED flash, a luminaire fitted with an Active+ LED driver and the Active+ Sense. Settings that can be adjusted are:

- Lights on and Power Save light levels
- Occupancy time-outs
- Fade times
- Transition time-outs
- Daylight dimming ranges
- Bright-out functionality

The app uses the LED flash on the smartphone to send data coded in light to the Active+ driver via the light sensor on the Active+ Sense. The smartphone must be within 70cm of the Active+ Sense with the flash pointed directly at the sensor. Do not point any other light sources at the sensor while adjusting the settings. The luminaire light source LED will flash once when the settings have been received and stored. Important! Make sure, that the app has a permission to use the camera in your Android device (Settings > Apps > Active+ > Permissions)

WARNING: This app uses high frequency LED light flashes.
