24 Installation for the Street Lighting Solution
Example Installations
You can install Street Light Bridge modules in almost any configuration to
provide power line and radio frequency communications for street lights within a
street lighting solution.
In the figures, the arrows represent RF communications between the Street Light
Bridge modules. Although the street lights in the figures are shown in straight
lines, they could be in any physical configuration.
Basic Installation
Figure 5 shows a basic installation with a Segment Controller and two Street
Light Bridge modules. The Segment Controller uses the power line
communications channel for the nearest set of luminaires, and two Street Light
Bridge modules provide the communications bridge across the service
distribution transformer to cross electrical phases.
Figure 5. Basic Street Light Bridge Installation
Extending a Basic Installation
A single Street Light Bridge module can communicate with more than one
companion Street Light Bridge module to define a more complex configuration.
Figure 6 on page 25 shows an extension to the configuration shown in Figure 5.
A single Street Light Bridge module communicates with three Street Light
Bridge modules to further extend the range of the Segment Controller and
provide communications to a greater number of luminaires.
Figure 6 also shows
communications with luminaires that do not share a power line connection with
the Segment Controller.
