14 Installation for the Street Lighting Solution
Step 1: Install the Segment Controller
Configure the Segment Controller (see Chapter 3, Setting Up the Segment
Controller, on page 23) and install it at any convenient location for the street
lighting solution. For example, you can install it on one of the street light poles
or utility poles (typically below the neutral space) within the area for the street
lighting solution. Ensure that the Segment Controller has power.
Place the Segment Controller into Acquisition Mode; see Automatically
Discovering Devices on page 27. While in Acquisition Mode, the Segment
Controller continually attempts to discover devices (luminaires and CRD 3000
Street Light Bridge modules) on the power line network. In Acquisition Mode,
the Segment Controller’s Service LED flashes at 4 Hz.
As the Segment Controller establishes communications with each luminaire and
commissions it, the Segment Controller turns the lamp off. 5
Note that if you install luminaires first, all of the lamps within the network stay
on until you install the Segment Controller. Some installations might require
several days of installation time, so some of the lamps could remain on for one or
more days.
Recommendation: For installations in which the luminaires are managed by
monitoring software (such as Streetlight.Vision Data Collect) and have group
switching established, install the Segment Controller during the day so that the
schedule defined by the monitoring software can specify the luminaire’s behavior
(that is, the schedule should specify that lamps are off during the day) as the
Segment Controller establishes communications with each luminaire. Thus, you
can receive visual confirmation that the Segment Controller has established
communications with each luminaire.
When all of the lamps are off, the installation is complete. For any that do not
turn off, proceed to Step 3 to install CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge modules; the
Segment Controller will discover and commission the installed luminaires
through the CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge modules.
Step 2: Install Luminaires
Install one or more luminaires. Each luminaire’s lamp should turn on to indicate
that it has power.
Allow the Segment Controller to discover and commission each installed
luminaire. If you install the luminaires before the Segment Controller, record
each luminaire’s physical location and Neuron ID so that you can enter this
information into the Segment Controller Device Web page for each luminaire.
For example, record the luminaire’s GPS coordinates, pole ID, or map grid
reference.
If you install the Segment Controller before any of the luminaires, the Segment
Controller will discover and commission each luminaire as it is installed. If a
given lamp does not turn off within approximately two minutes, you should
5 This behavior is defined by the luminaire’s LonMark ® interoperable profile. The Segment
Controller updates the primary data point for the luminaire during device commissioning; for a
luminaire’s LonMark profile, the primary data point is the on/off snvt_switch network variable.
