This manual covers the installation, test and commissioning guidelines for the Telensa
Telecells.
The system must be configured correctly to allow PLANet to function fully. This guide
serves as a tool to aid the installation of component parts, mainly the setup of the system
so that reports and data returns are accurate.
This document details the installation of component parts, configuration of Assets and
confirmatory checks.
Below is the Telecell Work Flow Diagram showing the following processes:
This section provides safety and regulatory warnings, cautions and information for the
Telecell and its internal components. Details of manufacturer's source documents are
noted where they are used.
Installers must be suitably trained and qualified for electrical work, according to the laws
and local codes for the locality and country where the unit will be installed. This unit must
only be installed by personnel that have been trained by Telensa or their representatives to

The supply voltage present in the luminaire and its plug in locking type socket is hazardous
and all necessary precautions must be taken to ensure the safety of the installer. Isolate
the supply to the plug in locking type socket before removing an old photocontrol, and
installing the Telecell.
The transmitter must not be co-located or operated with any other antenna or transmitter.
This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm from
bystanders.
1.3 Packing and Handling Instructions
Telecells are electronic devises containing processors, a radio module and memory.
Although encased in a robust outer shield, Telecells should be treated with care.
Dropping the Telecell from a height could cause irreparable damage.
Ensure that pins are protected, remaining in their original packaging and kept dry during
transportation and installation.
If returned to Telensa, Telecells must be packaged to the same standard prior to shipping.

At the point of installation, it is important to match the Asset ID to the OSID. The installer
must confirm the correct operation of the Power On / DIM / Off test cycle as follows:
1) Turn ON the mains supply to the Telecell. The lamp will illuminate for 50 seconds, then turn OFF. If the unit is fitted with a dimming unit it will illuminate
for 50 seconds but after approximately 25 seconds it will DIM to approximately
50%.
Note: When powered up, the unit may switch ON then momentarily switch
OFF, this operation is normal and is the Telecell auto-sensing between
Analogue and DALI.
2) After 50 seconds has elapsed the lamp will turn OFF.The test is now
complete. There is an issue if the lamp fails to operate as described.
The Telecell is now scanning for Basestations and Relays to enable a connection to the
Server.
After 15 minutes the lamp will switch back ON if the Telecell has not connected to the
Server (this can take a few hours), or has not received timing from its GPS (GPS variant
only).
Once the Telecell Connects or receives Timing, it will start operating to a photocell style
programme.
1.7.2 Administrator
A Customer System Administrator will complete the import, asset set up and
commissioning phase.
1.7.3 Pre-Provisioning
Ensure Telecells are loaded onto PLANet.
1.7.4 Power Requirements
ALERT: Report any safety or installation maintenance issues to the installation project manager to
schedule a repair.
1.8 Recording Telecell Identity at Installation
Note: It is essential that specific information is recorded with regards to the column/pole, its lamp
and the fitted Telecell ID (OSID). It is essential to map the correct OSID to the unique
Asset ID. See section 3.6.
Each PLANet Telecell has a unique identity number that is programmed into it at time of
manufacture, which is used by the system to distinguish it from others.
Operators of a PLANet network will want to control and monitor lights by reference to the
column in which the Telecell is fitted rather than by the Telecell identity number.
It is necessary to record and enter which Telecell identity number is fitted into which
column into the system.
It is vital for proper functioning of the system to ensure the matching of Telecell IDs and
column references is done accurately, otherwise the system may only appear to be
working and when, for example, a fault is reported, the mistake discovered as the fault
would not be found in the reported column but in another one. Tracking and correcting this
kind of mistake could be time consuming.
Note: There are two numbers on the label:
The Telecell ID can be found on a printed label on the base of the Telecell.
the OSID which is the Telecell ID (also barcoded)
o The OSID has the following format 0001234567-xx where xx are check
digits for the actual number
The Telecell serial number
The Telecell is supplied with three identical labels. These are intended for use as follows:
To attach within or outside the luminaire. Inside somewhere clearly visible is
recommended if possible.
Note: avoid locations that will get too hot.
To attach to a suitable tag (located in the base of the column).
To attach to installation documentation (see section 3.6). Typically, this will be a
sheet with asset IDs and a space next to each to attach the label from the
associated Telecell.
It is very important that installation sheets are completed accurately and returned promptly
to the operation centre. This is to ensure that the association between the Telecell and the
column can be added to the system.
Note: The system cannot operate properly without this.
When used with asset management systems that provide this facility, Telecell IDs and the
matching column reference may be captured using PDAs or similar. The Telecell and
Column IDs can then be loaded electronically into the asset management system, and
from there into PLANet.
Note: This removes the need to manually match the Telecell and column IDs on the PLANet
The packing list will vary dependant on the type of Telecell being installed.
Plug in locking type Telecells will fit directly into a plug in locking type socket whereas
Conduit, Two-Part and Post Top Telecells can come pre-installed.
1.9.1 Standard deployment equipment includes:
1 x label affixed to the Telecell unit
1 x label to fix to paper installation record sheet
1 x label to be affixed to column fuse holder
1 x spare
1.9.2 Installer Supply List:
1 x data capture device (if applicable)
1 x paper installation record sheet (optional)
Telecells are manufactured in many different forms. Each form is utilised dependent upon
the environment it is to be fitted.
Prior to installation, check the column and report any safety or installation maintenance
issues to the installation project manager so that a repair can be scheduled.
2.1 Installation Tasks
The following are the available Telecell variants and steps for installation:
Plug in locking type (external)
ALERT: Ensure to fit the plug in locking type socket correctly following supplier guidelines
1) Align the plug in locking type pins with the socket and insert. The Neutral pin on a
Telecell is wider and will only fit the hole next to the ‘N’ marker on the socket, twist
and lock.
2) To lock the Telecell in place, push down and twist clockwise. Pull the Telecell up
to confirm it is installed correctly. For wiring information see section 2.2.
3) Turn on the mains supply to the Telecell and observe the Power On / DIM / Off
test cycle as described in section 1.7.1. It will turn on for 50 seconds, then turn off.
If dimmable: on 25 seconds, dim 25 seconds, then turns off.
4) Record the necessary data as detailed under section 1.7. Data capture will be
dependent on available tools, for example: paper based or import via PDA.
5) Affix the Telecell labels described in section 1.7 as necessary.
The conduit Telecell is affixed to the lamp via a 20mm diameter thread. The nut securing
the Telecell should be tightened to 3 Nm.
ALERT: Check the rubber sealing washer is intact and undamaged to prevent water getting in.
Telecells with built in dimming have 5 wires and those without have 3 wires.
The Telecell must be wired as per section 2.2.
1) Turn on the mains supply to the Telecell and observe the Power On / DIM / Off
test cycle as described in section 1.7.1. It will turn on for 50 seconds, then turn off.
If dimmable: on 25 seconds, dim 25 seconds, then turns off.
2) Record the necessary data as detailed under section 1.7. Data capture will be
dependent on available tools, for example: paper based or import via PDA.
3) Affix the Telecell labels described in section 1.7 as necessary.
The Two-Part Telecell connections (mains, dimming and antenna) are provided by a wiring
loom, which must be connected inside the luminaire.
The Two-Part Telecell is designed for applications without a plug in locking type socket, or
20mm access hole. This Telecell requires an external antenna to be fitted. Typical
examples would be:
Heritage lamps that must conform to strict external appearance
Traffic bollard or illuminated road sign
Two-Part Telecells consist of a Telecell and an external antenna. The three external
antennas available are:
1) These Telecells are fitted inside the fixture securely, without compromising the
other components and positioned in a manner in keeping with the natural
workings.
Note: This must be wired to the incoming supply and outgoing ballast/driver
along with the dimming wires as in section 2.2.2.
2) Connect the antenna to the Telecell.
Note: DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN RF CONNECTOR (0.3 – 0.6Nm).
3) Turn on the mains supply to the Telecell and observe the Power On / DIM / Off
test cycle as described in section 1.7.1. It will turn on for 50 seconds, then turn off.
If dimmable: on 25 seconds, dim 25 seconds, then turns off.
4) Record the necessary data as detailed under section 1.7. Data capture will be
dependent on available tools, for example: paper based or import via PDA.
5) Affix the Telecell labels described in section 1.7 as necessary.
2.1.1 Two-Part Mounting
The maximum screw insertion depth is 12mm. Base mounting lugs are snap off, if
required, to enable mounting in confined spaces.
2.1.2 Two-Part Antenna Connection
The Two-Part version antenna connection uses an SMA connector, the plug is fitted to the
Telecell. Additional antenna cabling must use 50ohm coax with low loss at the operating
frequency (868 MHz for ETSI variants, 915MHz for FCC variants). It is recommended to
contact Telensa before using a longer antenna cable.
The Post Top Telecell is fitted as per the plug in locking type but has an external antenna
same as the Two-Part Telecell. This Telecell is typically used where the plug in locking
type socket has been installed inside the luminaire casing.
2.2 Wiring Diagrams
For Telecells with attached wires, the wiring colours depend on the market the Telecell is
intended for, as shown here:
Live In
Neutral
Switched Live Out
dimming control positive
dimming control negative
The following diagrams show how the Telecells should be wired. These diagrams show
the ETSI wiring colours. For a FCC installation, substitute the colours using the table
above:
The System Administrator should complete this commissioning phase.
When installing, the only available confidence check for an installer is the Power On / DIM
/ Off test.
To functionally check each unit fully, the Telecell must be connected to the system,
assigned an Asset ID and the correct lamp type and Control, Monitoring and Alarm
programs set.
Telecells are loaded onto each system when dispatched. To confirm the Telecell OSID is
loaded, filter on the Telecells page within the UI.
3.2 Set Up a Telecell
The Telecell(s) must be connected prior to the commissioning phase. In areas with poor
coverage, it may be necessary to set up Relays (ROS – Relay Outstation).
3.3 Configuration
Once the asset has been imported, use the following steps to ensure the Asset returns
data and operates as expected.
3.3.1 Set Telecell to Asset
1) Go to Edit Assets Configuration > Gateway > Assets > Asset Details:
Once the assets are imported it is necessary to set the location sources for both the
Telecell and Asset.
1) Go to Edit Assets Configuration > Gateway > Assets > Asset Details:
2) Select the Assets.
3) Click Edit Locations.
4) Select Copy imported Element locations (Assets location source).
5) Select Use Telecell GPS locations (Telecells location source).
6) Click OK.
Latitude and Longitude contained within the Asset details page and the Telecell page is
derived from the data uploaded to PLANet from the Mayrise hand held devices.
Whereas,
GPS Latitude and GPS Longitude displayed on the Telecell page is generated by the
Telecell during authentication when connecting to the Basestation.
Note: The Assets location source alternative: No change, is used if the location data to be
used is predefined and already loaded into PLANet.
Note: The Telecell location source alternative: Copy imported Element locations is used in
combination with a specific mobile deployment tool, which provides the GPS location
during deployment.
Note: Copy Telecell GPS locations would only be selected if no location data is imported from
For a Telecell to be controlled and return meaningful data it must be set up correctly.
Ensure each Telecell is:
Connected
Assigned to an Asset
Has a Control Program with appropriate dimming levels set within the Power tab
Has the correct Lamp Type and Charge Code Assigned (make a note of the
Circuit Watts within the Charge Code)
3.5 Bring the Telecell into Service
3.5.1 Connection Status
Once installed and powered, the Telecell should connect to the Central System within a
few hours. This can be confirmed by observing the Telecells Page within the User
Interface.
Filter the Telecell ID column for the OSID.
Note: When a Telecell connects, the Last Known Status column symbol turns green and data
becomes present in the Last Connection Confirmation [data received] column. If the
Telecell is not connected, the Test and Commissioning phase cannot be completed.
Note: The Last Known Status column is the result of either the success or failure of any last
To test if a Telecell can be controlled and return meaningful data, use the Polling and
Override functions within the PLANet user interface. The sequence is as follows:
1) Poll the Asset (for the power parameter) and record the reading, found within the
Readings page – Readings > Lamp Electrical > Power.
2) Override the Asset to Full On.
3) Poll the Asset (for the power parameter) and record the reading, found within the
Readings page.
4) Include if the dimming unit is installed - Override the Asset to DIM2.
5) Include if the dimming unit is installed - Poll the Asset (for the power parameter)
and record the reading, found within the Readings page.
6) Override the Asset to Return to Normal Operation.
7) Poll the Asset (for the power parameter) and record the reading, found within the
Readings page. Confirm that the readings obtained are as expected in
accordance with the associated Lamp Type.
Note: The Properties section can also be used to carry out this task on single
Assets if the User is familiar with this process.
3.5.2.1 Polling
1) To Poll an Asset, navigate to the Polling page, select the Asset and Parameter
to be polled and click the Poll Asset tab.
The progress of this task can be viewed within the Tasks > Polling page.
