Outdoor Luminaire Controller

General Description

The Outdoor Luminaire Controller (OLC) is a high-performance
L

o n Wo r k s

and drives a lamp-ballast combination. Communication with the
OLC is established via the power line utilizing the L
protocol. It interacts with the ballast by switching its output and by
means of a 1-10V dimming interface. Beside this it monitors the
electrical characteristics of the lamp-ballast combination. The OLC
can autonomously switch its output ON and OFF if combined with
a photocell. The OLC is designed to work in combination with the
Philips Segment Controller (SC) in a Philips Starsense outdoor lighting
telemanagement system.

The Philips Starsense system product range consists of:
LLC7020 Outdoor Luminaire Controller
LFC7065 Segment Controller

Applications

Each OLC can monitor and drive one ballast-lamp combination.
It is designed for use in residential, street and road lighting applications,
including parking lots, ports, train stations and industrial complexes.
The design of the OLC is optimized for mounting within a luminaire.
It is recommended for optimal performance not to connect more the
100 OLC’s to one SC.
The Philips OLC is released and authorised to solely interact with the
Philips SC, consult the local Philips representative if desired otherwise.

Benefits and advantages

The major benefits and advantages of using the Starsense
telemanagement system are:

• Energy savings through dimming and switching

• Save costs on maintenance through reduced lamp scouting and

improved predictive maintenance

• Improve safety by detecting, reporting and reducing night black-outs

• Reduce light pollution so that the light levels are in harmony with

their surroundings and dim-up on-demand when required

Tip

The Philips Starsense system uses the Philips Starsense
Configurator and Supervisor software. The license to use this
software is embedded in the Segment Controller

General operation

The OLC combines three main functions. The controller function
receives the incoming commands from the SC and acts accordingly.
A driver switches the output relay and regulates the 1-10V dimming
interface. The monitor function measures the current, mains voltage,
mains frequency, power factor, burning hours and power consumption
of the connected lamp-ballast combination. These measurements
are used to determine the energy consumption. Based on these
measurements, the monitor function determines if the connected lamp­ballast is functioning within configured thresholds and sets its status that
can be accessed by the SC.
One OLC can switch, control and monitor one light point. A default
configured OLC will switch ON its output at maximum level on
power-up.

Repeating

The OLC is equipped with a power line transceiver, which can repeat
messages. The SC monitors and controls the dynamic repeating
functionality centrally. If communication fails between the SC and a
specific OLC, another OLC can be designated dynamically by the SC,
which can repeat messages. The SC will autonomously and continuously
keep track of which OLC’s can be reached directly and which ones
require message repeating.

Dimming

The SC sends the dimming level, based on many configuration
properties, to the OLC. A dimming correlation may look as follows:
The OLC will transfer the incoming dimming command to the OLC’s
driver, which drives the 1-10V dimming interface.

Tip

Check the Philips Dynavision ballast/controller datasheet for the
relationship between the interface signal level and the light output,

Mounting information

The OLC is designed to be installed inside a luminaire, another adjacent
OLC can be mounted in poles, gear-trays, and separate boxes. If the
OLC is mounted inside a pole it may only be mounted upright, as
shown in the mounting picture. The OLC may be mounted in any
position if the enclosure is IP43 or above.

Mounting

Released ballast

Currently the ballast released to interact with the 1-10V dimming
outputs of the OLC are:

• Philips HID-DV 1-10V 150 SON

• Philips HID-DV 1-10V 100 SON

• Philips HID-DV 1-10V 70 SON

• Philips HID-DV 1-10V 150 CDO

• Philips HID-DV 1-10V 100 CDO

• Philips HID-DV 1-10V 70 CDO

• Philips HID-DVC 1-10V 250 SON

• Philips HID-DVC 1-10V 400 SON

Any other component must be validated before it may be used with
the OLC. Contact your local Philips representative about how to obtain
component validation.
