Building Lighting Control System
All building lights are on either a movement sensor or an automatic timer.
The movement sensor will turn off lights in most offices when it does not sense movement. Sometimes working at a desk is not enough movement and the system will shut off, but will come back on the next time it senses movement. These lights can be turned off manually as well.
The automatic timer will shut off the lights at 8:00 pm. The system is set up with a warning that will blink once then shut off five minutes later. If you need the lights to stay on longer, simply press the override button located near the entrance to your room (see picture). This will override the system for two hours. You can do this as many times as needed.
