location (perhaps closer to or within a different line-of-sight of a previously
installed CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge module).
After you install the second CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge module, wait a few
minutes for the Segment Controller to discover and commission it. When the
CRD 3000 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 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 CRD 3000 Street Light
Bridge modules to further extend the communications range of the Segment
Controller.
If a newly installed CRD 3000 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 CRD 3000 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 for each of the luminaires
and CRD 3000 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 CRD 3000 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 CRD 3000 Street Light
Bridge modules to add new segments to the network, or you can relocate,
reassign, or replace existing luminaires or CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge
modules based on the needs of the network.
If a luminaire or CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge module fails, you can use the
Segment Controller Web pages to determine which device is bad. You can
decommission the failing device, physically replace the failing device, assign the
new device’s Neuron ID to the decommissioned device, then recommission it. See
