22 Installation for the Street Lighting Solution
the Segment Controller discovers and commissions the luminaires. If all of the
lamps are off, the installation is complete.
For those lamps that do not turn off, install additional Street Light Bridge
modules to further extend the communications range of the Segment Controller.
If a newly installed Street Light Bridge module does not cause any lamps to turn
off (perhaps because the newly installed module exceeds the maximum hop count
or range), it is likely that you need return to step 1 to install a new Segment
Controller.
Step 4: Complete Installation
After all of the luminaires, the Segment Controller, and the Street Light Bridge
modules are installed, you can establish remote communications with the
Segment Controller and can manage the installed network. For example, you can
modify the installation information (the Neuron IDs and physical location
information) for each of the luminaires and Street Light Bridge modules, and
define schedules for the lights within the network. These tasks are typically
performed by a network integrator.
Recommendation: For installations in which each luminaire has its photocell
removed to allow network communications to manage the luminaires (for
example, a typical US installation), install a small number of luminaires
(perhaps 20 to 30) and Street Light Bridge modules each day so that you can
minimize the amount of time that any luminaire remains on (out of
communications with the Segment Controller).
For installations in which the luminaires are managed by monitoring software
(such as Streetlight.Vision Data Collect) and have group switching established,
normal switching operations control the lamps’ behavior (that is, they are off
during the day and on at night). Thus, for such preconfigured networks, you can
install as many luminaires as required for the project without concern for the
amount of time that any luminaire remains on.
Existing Installations
Installation for existing street lighting networks is similar to installation for new
networks. In general, you can add new luminaires and Street Light Bridge
modules to add new segments to the network, or you can relocate, reassign, or
replace existing luminaires or Street Light Bridge modules based on the needs of
the network.
If a luminaire or Street Light Bridge module fails, you can use the Segment
Controller Web pages to determine which device is bad. You can physically
replace the failing device, and then replace it in the Segment Controller by
assigning a new Neuron ID to it and recommissioning it. See Chapter
5,
Managing a Street Lighting Network , on page 47, for more information about
these tasks.
Verifying Successful Installation
You can verify a successful Street Light Bridge installation in two ways:
• Verify the states of the power LED and the RF signal LED
