About Telematics Wireless Products

Telematics Wireless products have been evaluated as Information Technology Equipment (ITE), which may be installed in Central Offices, Telecommunication Centers, offices, computer rooms, and similar commercial type indoor or outdoor locations.

Telematics Wireless is an associate member of the TALQ Consortium, and its products are ELEXON approved. The T-Light™ Wireless Light Control Unit (LCU) is also certified by Intertek.

Description

The T-Light™ Wireless Light Control Unit (LCU) and its communication interface with the T-Light management software are key components in the Telematics Wireless Smart Lighting System. The LCU is a wireless control unit installed in one of the following locations:

• On top of the luminaire fixture (External)

• In the luminaire fixture (Internal)

• In the base of the pole (Internal)

The LCU handles the collection and transmission of luminaire data and the execution of commands on the luminaire from the Smart Lighting System Control Management Software (CMS).

Smart Lighting System Overview

The Smart Lighting System collects data from and manages the operation of remote street luminaires. The System consists of the following components:

• LCU – Located on top of or inside the luminaire cover, or in the light pole, the LCU sends sensor data

and executes scheduled and unscheduled luminaire control commands, such as on/off and dim, received from the CMS Application Server.

• LoRa Gateway – the gateways forward message to/from Network Server to end devices.

• LoRa Network Server – forward message to appropriate Application Server and selects best gateway

to send message for transmission to end devices.

• CMS – Web-based backend application server provides real-time management: receives LCU

communications from the LoRa network server and sends luminaire control commands to the LoRa network server for transmission to LCUs.

CMS usually contains a database of static and dynamic LCU information: ambient light values, lighting and dimming schedules, power usage, status, etc.

LCU NEMA LoRa

The LCU NEMA LoRa is an external luminaire control device that is installed on top of the luminaire cover into a standard NEMA socket. Control features offer On/Off and dimming level operations. Monitoring features include identification of lamp and electrical issues and measurement of electrical parameters.

The LCU NEMA uses standard NEMA socket “twist and lock” installation on top of a pole or luminaire cover, according to ANSI C136.10 and C136.41 specifications.

Standard Features

• Light sensor - Operates as a photocell with the integrated microcontroller and is used as a backup light

control in the event of microcontroller failure.

• Energy meter - Continuous measurement collection and aggregation.

• Integrated RF antenna.

• Real Time Clock (only when connected to the system or when unit received its time zone from the

system and operates with GPS)

• Network data is protected by AES 128 encryption.

• Relay Control for LED driver/ballast power.

• Uses unlicensed frequency.

• Built in GPS receiver for auto-commissioning

• “Auto Detection and Verification” Software

“Auto Detection and Verification” Software

The LCU NEMA includes the Telematics “Auto Detection and Verification” software that automatically detects and stores the ballast type (1-10V or DALI) in the LCU. The ballast type is then retrieved during the commissioning process, thereby eliminating the need to enter it manually into the CMS (auto detection process also occur each time the power turns on from off state)

Optional Features

• Built-in GPS receiver for full auto-commissioning.
