System description
The Greengage induction system (ALIS) is a 'contactless' power technology that allows LED fixtures (ALIS Lamps)
to be clipped onto the cable (ALIS Bus) without an actual physical electrical connection.
It works on the principle of distributing a highly regulated alternating current at 50 kHz along the ALIS Bus to the
ALIS lamps.
This document serves as guidance for an ALIS installation within an intensive livestock rearing building. Installers
must also follow all applicable local electrical installation standards and wiring regulations when carrying out the
installation.
ALIS system components
ALIS is shipped as component parts for assembly on si te. There is an option to purchase a pre-configured Power
Hub panel ready for direct install.
The main components of the ALIS system are
1 ALIS Power Hub
2 ALIS Dimmer
3 ALIS Bus
4 ALIS Lamp
5 End Termination Module
6 ALIS Pot (dimmer control input)

Installation procedures
Introduction
This installation procedures section is divided in three parts; mechanical, lamp connect ion and electrical. These
require two distinct levels of technical competency. Here the mechanical and lamp sections are classified as semiskilled, i.e. suitable for most agricultural mechanical fitters, whilst the electrical section is classified skilled, i.e. only
suitable for competent and qualified electricians and fitters with experience and knowledge of local electrical wiring
standards and regulations.
1. Mechanical Installation
1.0 General Guidance
In this section you will find all the necessary information for the mechanical installation. This is the process
of physically fitting the components within the building. During this process no electrical connections are made.
The importance of correct mechanical fitting from the start should not be underestimated as it can be very
difficult, costly and at times impossible to correct afterwards. It is therefore worthwhile discussing the
mechanical fitting at an early stage with either the house builder or architect to ensure that correct
placement of the ALIS lamps within the house is pos sible. If not, a redesign of the lighting plan may be
required.
1.1 ALIS Bus Cable Suspension
Reference the lamp positioning information found within the lighting desig n plan. It is recommended that the ALIS
Bus cable is supported by cable ties to a catenary wire, or other carrier type, which is itself supported every three to
four metres (10 to 13 feet) and tensioned by use of a turnbuckle also ensuring that the supporting infrastructure is
sufficient to support the lamps and suspension.
As the ALIS system works inductively it is important to avoid sharp bends, returns, kinks and knots in the ALIS Bus
cable. Excess cable should be removed and certainly not be coiled or wrapped especially around metal elements.
1.2 ALIS Power Hub Mounting
The ALIS Power Hub must be mounted vertically on a metal base plate within a suitable enclosure in close proximity
to the ALIS Dimmer, away from all combustib le materials, sources of heat and out of direct sunlight. Clearances of
100mm (4 inches) from the top and bottom of the ALIS Power Hub and 75mm (3 inche s ) from the sides must be
allowed for. Please contact support@greengage.global if this is not possible.
