Street Light Bridge Integrator’s Guide 21
If you install the luminaires before the Segment Controller, the Segment
Controller will discover and commission all of the luminaires; however, this
process could take some time.
After an installed luminaire is discovered and commissioned by the Segment
Controller, the lamp should turn off. For any that do not turn off, proceed to Step
3 to install Street Light Bridge modules; the Segment Controller will discover the
installed luminaires through the Street Light Bridge modules.
Step 3: Install Street Light Bridge Modules
Install a Street Light Bridge module to extend the communications range of the
Segment Controller.
Return to any previously installed luminaire for which the lamp is off (that is, it
has communications with the Segment Controller). Install the Street Light
Bridge module on the luminaire or on a pole near the luminaire, and record its
physical location (GPS coordinates, pole ID, or map grid reference) and its
Neuron ID (the barcoded number printed on or attached to the module); or
alternatively, let the Segment Controller automatically discover and commission
the Street Light Bridge module.
You can install the Street Light Bridge module in the luminaire’s photocell
receptor after removing the photocell. For luminaraires that do not have a
photocell receptor, you need to add a locking-type photocontrol receptacle that
conforms to the ANSI C136.10 standard.

Insert the module into the photocell
receptor or locking-type photocontrol receptacle, and turn the module ¼ turn
clockwise to lock it into position.
The Street Light Bridge module has a green LED to indicate that it is receiving
power. In addition, if this LED is on solid, the Street Light Bridge module has
been discovered and commissioned by the Segment Controller; if this LED is
flashing slowly, the Street Light Bridge module has not yet been commissioned.
Install a second Street Light Bridge module on a luminaire (or on a nearby pole)
for which the lamp is on (that is, the luminaire does
not have communications
with the Segment Controller). This second Street Light Bridge module should
have direct line-of-sight with the previously installed Street Light Bridge module.
Ensure that the two modules are within 85 meters (275 feet) of one another.
Verify that the newly installed Street Light Bridge module’s amber LED is on to
indicate that the module has good radio frequency (RF) communication with a
previously installed module; see
Verifying Successful Installation on page 22. If
the newly installed Street Light Bridge module does not have a sufficient RF
signal with a nearby Street Light Bridge module, reinstall the Street Light
Bridge module in a different location (perhaps closer to or within a different line-
of-sight of a previously installed Street Light Bridge module).
After you install the second Street Light Bridge module, wait a few minutes for
the Segment Controller to discover and commission it. When the Street Light
Bridge module’s green LED is on solid, the module has been discovered and
commissioned. Within a few more minutes, one or more lamps should turn off as

Locking-type photocontrol receptacles are available from companies such as Ripley Lighting
Controls (for example, their 5927 or 5926 Receptacle With Cast Housing can accommodate the
Street Light Bridge module).
