Sensor Module
Factory installated and locally intelligent sensors enable system reliability. Each luminaire sensor is installed and test
commissioned at the factory, saving eld installation labor and minimizing startup failures. Luminaire behavior is
determined by how each sensor responds to its most recent software prole and operates regardless of the availability
of other network components.
A sensor prole is dened as a set of conguration values that determine the behavior of a luminaire. The prole is based
on rules used by the sensor in response to it's monitoring of operational and environmental conditions. Conditions
include ambient light, time of day, and occupancy detection. Operational modes dene ramp up times, length of
operation on occupancy detection, sensitivity to motion and ambient light as well as dimming levels for each event.
Proles are created and managed by the LumaWatt software.
Gateway
The gateway connects the sensors via 2.4 GHz wireless technology to the LumaWatt energy management server.
Multiple gateways may be deployed to relay information between the sensors and the LumaWatt energy management
server. The gateway is for indoor use only. In order to wirelessly connect to the xtures, a gateway is placed on the
interior of an exterior wall of the building within 150' of at least one of the luminaire array. It is desirable to locate the
gateway near an exterior window, as high as possible off the ground. Gateways connect with an appropriate length
Ethernet cable (maximum length 330') to one of the NETGEAR
®
ports this cable should then be routed through the
building as necessary to an exterior wall. Luminaires will then communicate to their nearest peer within 300' of
line-of-sight (LOS).
Router
The four port PoE (powered-over-ethernet) switch powers the gateways and connects them to the LumaWatt energy
management server. This device needs to be located with the server in a suitable electrical closet or optional ENCI
electrical cabinet and is powered by 120V only.
LumaWatt Energy Management Server
The LumaWatt energy management server should be located in a suitable electrical closet or optional ENCI electrical
enclosure powered by 120V only. It is a server class appliance that hosts the graphical user interface (GUI) that
discovers, commissions, and manages smart sensors. The LumaWatt software maintains a data base that logs,
monitors and reports energy usage. The intuitive graphical interface to the LumaWatt energy management server is
accessed via any web browser using HTTPS protocol.
Industry standard security with encryption safeguards the integrity of the system. A backup and restore feature is
provided to protect the server in case of its hardware failure or a software failure that corrupts or destroys conguration
or performance data. LumaWatt software and rmware for gateways and sensors can be updated over the air as they
become available.
Enclosure (Optional)
The optional ENCI enclosure provides a convenient installation solution in cases where suitable electrical or IT closets
are not available. The indoor rated enclosure includes one factory installed LumaWatt energy management server and
up to two routers.
