What’s New in LightView 3.0* ?
(*Present version is called 2.0 in BLV Users Guide.)
New Features
• Dial up modem can be connected to 232 port to serve up the BLV web pages. A selector switch is provided use the
232 port as a console or modem connection.
• Firmware upgrade flash capability. Users can receive a firmware image from TRIATEK Lighting and upload it via the
web interface.
• Import groups from LPPK. Previously, users must set up the panel groups in again in BLV even if they already existed
in the LPPK file. Now the user creates the panel groups just once in LPPK and simply imports them to BLV.
• Multi-event linking for photocells. Previously, multi-lamp lighting events for photocells were not truly linked resulting
conflicting commands sent over the network. Now photocell events can linked in setup to work together. The protocol
establishes the correct command for linked multi-lamp levels used in day lighting.
• Event log e-mail option. Users can specify sender address, destination address, and time when event logs are to be
automatically emailed. An energy manager could thus arrange for event logs from multi-sites to be sent to his office.
• Motion sensor group can be used to qualify photocell event. Previously, this could only be effectively done in
conjunction with hard wire methods to the LMB.
• Lighting groups are now sorted. Previously, the groups were placed at the top of the BLV group list page. This was
cumbersome when groups were inserted later and appeared out of numerical order. Now a new entry is inserted in its
proper order, according to panel and group number even if added later.
• TI-45-Net global commands. Previously, users needed to call in a separate user ID for each panel. Now a special
block of reserved user ID codes can be mapped to multiple panels allowing 1 call to control a BLV Area spanning
several panels.
Improvements
• Enhanced logging capability. Events log increased from 30 to 100. Command log increased from 100 to 500.
• Areas increased from 100 to 250.
• Qualifiers increased from 30 to 100.
• Area names appear at top of group-assignment-to-area page. Previously, the page did not identify which area the
groups were being assigned to.
• Ignore TI-Net override if overtaken by BLV schedule. Previously, if a TI override On was followed by BLV scheduled
ON, the TI would turn Off the circuit during the middle of the scheduled period. Now the TI Off is ignored when
superceded by a BLV schedule.
• BLV no longer automatically times out after 6 minutes of inactivity. The timeout is user adjustable.
• Data base converter. A separate program is available to convert databases made in rev’s 1.0, 2.0, 2.0a, 2.1, and
2.1.1(=3.0).
Hint:
Use the Table of Contents. It is
provided as a map to guide you

What’s Was New in LightView 2.0 ?
• Daylight Savings Time - Pg 38 - When enabled by the user, this feature will automatically change BLV’s clock to Daylight
Savings Time when DST is in effect.
• Six Astronomical Events - Pg 25 - Astronomical Events allow lighting events to be scheduled based on sunrise and
sunset times forecast by LightView. This feature is ideal for scheduling outdoor lighting or appropriate indoor areas that
depend on sunlight illumination.
• Thirty Photocell Events - Pg 24 - Photocell events are used to control lights based on variable sunlight illumination
levels. Up to 30 photocells can be placed at different areas so that lighting can be controlled for daylight harvesting or
outdoor scheduling. BLV also allows specifi cation of a dead band tolerance to prevent spurious triggering of lights.
• Thirty Continuous Qualifi ers - Pg 22 - Earlier versions of LightView only qualifi ed an event once. This new feature
continuously monitors a user-specified group and detects state changes. A state change then triggers user-defi ned
actions on a list of areas. This feature is ideal for installations that require a switched input on one panel to control other
panels.
• Automatic IP Address Discovery - Pg 7- This feature is ideal for users that connect directly to an BLV module using
crossover cables. This allows users to communicate with BLV without reconfi guring their network settings. The process
is initiated by pressing a switch on BLV and then accessing any address within the computer’s subnet from Internet
Explorer. BLV will detect the address requested by Internet Explorer and reconfi gure itself to that address.
• Name up to 1000 Groups - Pg 14 - Earlier versions of LightView control up to 1000 Groups but support assigning a
23-character description to only 254 of the 1000 Groups. The ability to assign 23- character descriptions to up to 1000
Groups is useful for installations that use the “Area and Group Status” feature to override or monitor Group status of an
entire lighting network.
• LPPK with LightView - Pg 47 - LightView 2.0 now interfaces with LPPK to allow users to program all TRIATEK Lighting
panels connected to LightView over the Internet from any remote location.
• Telephone Interface with LightView - Pg 44 - LightView is configured to work with TI-4500-0-Net, TRIATEK’s telephone
override interface. Ti- 4500-0-net with LightView provides up to 8191 password–protected user ID’s and up to 6 hours
of override plus cancellation of on-going override. Voice prompts can be customized by the user.
• Documentation - LightView documentation is presented in two publications: LightView User’s Guide and LightView
Installers Guide. For basic physical installation and wiring, refer to LightView Installer’s Guide. For all other matters, refer
to this publication.
To use LightView successfully, three things must be accomplished:
1) LightView must be installed properly.
2) LightView must be set-up to communicate with a Laptop or PC.
3) Once communication is established, LightView must be programmed to control the lighting panels. Once these three
items are done, LightView can operate either “stand-alone” or remain connected to the workstation or LAN.
To Install LightView:
• Refer to publication, LightView Installation Guide.
To Set-Up LightView:
• Set an IP address in LightView compatible with the subnet of the workstation or LAN.
• Details are covered in this document’s main sections:
Setting Up BLV and Connecting to BLV.
To Program LightView:
• Define the Lighting Panel Groups
• Define the Lighting Areas
• Assign the Panel Groups to the Areas
• Schedule the Areas.
• Details are covered in this document’s main section: Programming BLV.

BASnet LightView User’s Guide
BASnet LightView Overview
The BASnet® LightView™ (BLV) is a Web-based programming system that enables lighting control from an internet
browser. The browser functions to execute scheduled event commands upon pre-defined lighting areas. These areas
can be planned and designed with the use of worksheets, and they then can be entered into the module via BLV system.
BLV’s functionality is based on
a structure that utilizes lighting
panels, groups and areas. This
structure provides a logical
and organized system. Their
relationship is defined briefly
as follows: Lighting areas are
composed of one or more lighting
groups, and lighting groups are
composed of one or more relays in
a lighting panel. Each lighting panel
employed by BLV has its own
groups assigned to it. A lighting
group never spans multiple lighting
panels. The browser can handle
schedules for up to (inclusive) 100
lighting areas, and 1000 lighting
groups. The system allows the
user to input, change and view all
information related to the lighting
areas.
A summary of the systems components and associated functionality follows:
1.) The Main Menu of links to all pages in the system.
2.) Lighting Groups Assignment where groups are assigned to panels.
3.) Lighting Area Assignment where areas are created and groups are assigned to areas.
4.) Scheduling Events where areas are given actions to perform and grouped by time the actions occur.
5.) Viewing Events of all schedules in the system.
6.) “Today’s” Event List displays the events scheduled to occur that day.
7.) Holiday List page provides addition and modification of holidays into the system.
8.) Area and Group Status displays the current ON/OFF states of the areas and groups, allows manual override of the areas
and groups, and uploaded maps can be viewed.
9.) System Setup includes system clock alteration, Network address configuration, upload maps, backup and restoration of
system database, and deletion of database.
10.) System Logs records any phenomena related to a schedule and an area including creation, modification, and qualification
of schedules and success or failure of action on areas, along with the time stamp of these phenomena.
11.) BASnet LightView is able to receive telephone override commands from TRIATEK’s TI-4500-NET telephone interface
module. See pages 31-33 for details.
12.) BASnet LightView interfaces with LPPK to allow users to program lighting panels connected to BASnet LightView over
the Internet from any remote location.

Setting Up BASnet LightView
Automatic IP Address Discovery This feature is ideal for users that connect directly to BLV modules using crossover
cables. This allows users to communicate with BLV without reconfiguring the network settings on their laptop or
PC. LightView will configure its IP address to be compatible with the user’s laptop. Use this feature only with direct
connections to BLV.
To use Automatic IP Address Discovery:
• Determine the network IP address of the laptop or PC. Typically, right click “My Network Places” then select Properties.
• Next, select TCP/IP for the ethernet card and then click on the Properties button.
• Connect Laptop or PC to BLV using ethernet cross-over (“null modem”) CAT5 cable.
• Open Internet Explorer
• Depress the auto discovery Switch in BLV. See diagram below.
• On the address bar at the top of the Internet Explorer page, enter an IP address within the range of the laptop’s subnet.
• LightView will reconfigure itself to an IP compatible with the laptop’s address.
Hint:
Push pin through this hole
to activate internal switch for
automatic IP discovery. Use this
feature only with direct connections
to BLV.

Auto IP Discovery
Configuring BLV Using Serial Console
When Auto IP Discovery cannot be used, set the IP via BLV’s serial console and HyperTerminal. The RS-232 serial
programming cable is used to set initial low-level system settings such as network addresses and the browser password
with a serial console program. It is not necessary to use the serial interface for any future changes of the network
addresses because the LightView Browser can be used for this purpose. (See “Setting IP Configuration” on page 28).
The browser password, however, can only be changed through the serial console interface. HyperTerminal, which comes
standard with most if not all current versions of Microsoft® Windows® is a serial console program that can be used to
change the low-level settings.
The first window that displays in HyperTerminal is the Connection Description
Setting Up HyperTerminal
In order to communicate to the BLV module, the IP, gateway, subnet mask
and name server addresses need to be changed. To change each of
these settings, firstly, run a terminal program. The example to the left uses
HyperTerminal. HyperTerminal can normally be found in Windows Accessories
under Communications.

Setting the Password
Unlike the network variables, the password used to enter the BLV system can only be set through the RS-232 serial
connection. Not allowing the password to be changed from the browser is a security feature that keeps the password in
a single secure location, and this in turn prevents an unintended user who has not been granted access to the physical
module from changing the password from another user’s browser. It is much easier for someone to change the password
from a user’s opened browser window than actually getting access to the physical module and an RS-232 cable.
Like the network variables, the password can be set using the “set” command, however, set’s usage with the password
variable differs from the usage of set with the network variables.
To change the password enter only “set password” and then press the Enter key on the keyboard. The program will then
bring the user through a set of prompts to change the password. The program first prompts the user for the old password:
set password
Enter old password
set password
Enter old password
Error 1001 Incorrect password
Now enter the old password and press the enter key. If the old
password is entered incorrectly it will generate an error:
Each time an error is generated, “set password” must be entered again.
The program will then compare the entered password with the actual
password. If the old password is entered correctly, the program will
report “Password Verified”, and then prompt the user to enter the new
password:
set password
Enter old password
Password verified
Enter new password
1025 Cobb Place Blvd. Suite 100 Kennesaw, GA 30144 • 800-241-9173 • www.TRIATEKlighting.com
Passwords can be a maximum length of any 9 keyboard characters.
Hint:
If the new password entered
is more then 9 characters
HyperTerminal will respond with
“ERROR 1000 9 character

Checking the Version of Internet Explorer
Before running the browser ensure Microsoft® Internet Explorer
5.5 Service Pack 2 or a later version of Internet Explorer is
employed to run. This information can be found by running
Microsoft® Internet Explorer, going to “Help” in the menu bar,
and then selecting “About Internet Explorer”. See “Version” and
“Update Version” in the graphic to the right:

Defining Groups
Defining the lighting groups for each TRIATEK lighting control panel is the
fi rst step to program the browser. Each group is assigned relays using the
TRIATEK LPPK software. For instructions on how to assign relays to groups
see the “LP Controller Users Guide”.
Even though groups have already been created using LPPK they need to be
entered into BLV in order that
1) they can be controlled by BLV, and
2) they are necessary for the creation of areas. The input process involves
assigning a name to a group and the panel the group belongs to.
To input the defined groups with their associated panels, from the main
menu, click on ‘
Group Name Assignments’ page. From this series of pages the groups

Hint:
Once all groups are assigned to areas, the
Area List page with the area description and
the number of groups assigned with them will
display. A maximum of 250 areas that can be
defined.
Creating Schedules
Now that the areas with their respective groups have been created, the last series of steps involve programming the
browser to make schedules of events with the areas.
A schedule is where areas are grouped together to perform action commands at the same point of time and for the same
duration of time. A schedule is given one start and end time on which to perform the start and end action of each area
controlled in the schedule. A schedule may contain one or more areas to control, and each area in the schedule can be
assigned ON, OFF, or DO NOTHING actions.
Time in the schedules is displayed and processed as military time. A unique feature of scheduling in BASnet LightView is
that more than one area can be assigned to the same schedule. Many of our competitors require a separate schedule for
each area. When a large number of areas need to be controlled, multiple-area scheduling can prove to be a more fl exible
solution that saves time and energy because the number of programming operations performed by the user is reduced
considerably.
To create a scheduled event click the ‘Add Scheduled Event’ link if you are in the main menu or ‘Add Event’ link if on
another page in the system. Both are linked to the same page. This page has two sections: Event Details and Lighting Area
Commands.

for each day of the week and a holiday box. Click each box that
the schedule is to execute on. The Holiday box is included here
to give the user the option of controlling whether or not BLV will
execute lighting commands on a holiday. By default the system
executes no action on a holiday (See ‘Holidays’ below to learn
how to program holidays into BLV.). Clicking the holiday box here tells BLV to execute the lighting commands even if the current
day is a holiday. In order to ensure that the schedule executes on a holiday check the holiday box; otherwise, leave it blank.

Setting the Date Range
Below the “Single”/”Multiple” day section, is the date range. Single and multiple
day scheduling also affects the appearance of the date range. When single day
scheduling is selected only one day is needed, therefore one date with its calendar
button disappears, and the single date is left. The date range consists of two dates,
each with a ‘show calendar’ button. When the show calendar button is clicked a
calendar displays that allows the user to select the month, year and day desired.
Once the calendar appears, fi rst select the desired month and year. The order of
these two does not matter. Then, select the day the schedule will begin to execute.
If single day scheduling is chosen, there will only be one date in the range; this will
be the only day to select. For a multiple day schedule repeat these steps for the end
of range.
Naming the Schedule
The Schedule is named in the text box adjacent to “
Schedules can be according to the programmers needs and preference. Naming
of the schedules matches that of groups and areas, i.e., it is best to give them
meaningful names, names that describe what they are commanding. For example,
if all hallway lights are included in a schedule, an appropriate schedule description
could be simply, “all hallways schedule”. Naming the schedules also depends
on the number and complexity of the lighting areas. If only a few areas are being
programmed by only a few schedules they could be named, ‘Schedule 1, Schedule
2, etc.’ To name the schedule enter the name of the schedule into the ‘Description’
text box. The description can be a maximum of 23 characters.Selecting month and year

Event Options
Before creating the scheduled events for areas, consider the scheduled event options: Qualifier, Photo, and Astro. The
option chosen generally governs how the scheduled event will be activated. Use the Options button in the Event Details

Qualifying a Schedule (Thirty Qualifiers Available)
BASnet LightView User’s Guide
Select “
schedule with a qualifi er, the user must specify a panel and group to act as the qualifier. The scheduled event will not
execute until the qualifier group changes state. i.e., the scheduled event defi nes a “window” of time and once inside
that window, the schedule continuously monitors the qualifier group to detect a state change. Only if the state change is
detected, will the scheduled event be carried out.
Switch inputs can be used to enable a qualifier. Typically, lighting panels have switch inputs assigned to groups that are
assigned to relays. Inputs from building alarm, card access, and motion detector systems are ideal inputs into the lighting
panel to enable groups for use as qualifiers. This feature is ideal for installations that require a switched input on one panel
to control groups in other panels.
Make sure that groups defined as qualifiers are not given Serial On Priority using TRIATEK Setup software, LPPK. The
Qualifier group is directly controlled only by switch, not serial, commands. However, if the Qualifi er group is setup in LPPK
with Serial-On priority enabled, switch inputs to the same group will not be able to control the group when preceded by
Serial On command.
To use qualifier:
• Go to Main Menu Add Scheduled Event Options (in Event Details Section) Qualifier.
• Enter the panel and group manually in the boxes or click the arrow and select from the predefined group list box.
• In Lighting Area Commands section of the same page, set the Start and End times for this particular event. You may set
0:00 and 24:00 for no restrictions.
• Select Add New Area Command.
• Under Area Name, select Edit, and then from pull-down box select a predefined Area.
• From Area Name box, select a predefi ned area.
• From Off Event box, select what the event will do when the qualifi er group is off. For example, if “On” is selected in the
Off Event box, then the event will turn the scheduled area on when the qualifier transitions to off state.
• From On Event box, select what the event will do when the qualifier group is
on. For example, if “Off “ is selected in the On Event box, then the event will turn the scheduled area off when the qualifier
transitions to on state.

Photocell (Thirty Photocells Available)
Select the “Photocell” option to have an event control a lighting area based on
variable sunlight levels. You must have a TRIATEK Photocell connected to a lighting
panel. When creating a schedule with the photocell option, the user must set four
parameters: Panel and Channel number, Light Level, Tolerance, and Foot Candle to
volts scale. Then, the Dark and Light Events must be defi ned in the Lighting Area
Commands section of the same page.
To use the Photocell option:
• Go to Main Menu Add Scheduled Event Options (in Event Details Section) Photocell
• In the Panel and Group boxes enter the panel and group that the photocell is connected to.
• In the Light Level Box, add the Foot Candle level at which the lighting group must change state.
• In the Tolerance box, add the dead band (hysterisis) parameter. For example, if the light level is 500 foot Candles and the
tolerance 20 Foot Candles, the dead band will be between 480 and 520 Foot Candles. The light level must pass through
both limits of the dead band before the group will change state.
• In the Foot Candle-to-Volts boxes, add the Foot Candles measured at 0 volts and the Foot Candles measured at 5 volts.
• In Lighting Area Commands section of the same page, set the Start and End times for this particular event. (You may set
0 and 24 for no restrictions or enter start and end times to limit the times when the event is allowed to take place; ie, you
may need to limit the cell from turning on offi ce lights in the night.)
• Select Add New Area Command
• Under Area Name, select Edit, and then from pull-down box select a predefined Area.
• Under Dark Event, select what state the scheduled area should go to when the ambient Foot Candles are less than the
lower dead band limit: On, Off, or Do Nothing.

The page utilizes a frame layout divided into two sections:
Area List at the top and Area Status at the bottom. The top section provides a list of areas with the number of groups
in each area and the ON/OFF status of each area. Detailed information for the groups in the area and immediate action
buttons or manual override buttons for the areas and groups can be accessed via the Action button. Each Action button
when clicked shows the detailed information for an area and all groups in that area in the bottom section of the page.
auto-refresh
The Action button shows hide status when the status is
displayed in the bottom section, and ‘View Status’ when no

Area Status fi rst provides control of the auto refresh similar
to the Event List. See “Event List” for an explanation of this
feature. This section then displays the Area description, and its
current status below it.
Below status, ON and OFF buttons are provided to send an
immediate command to the entire area. When either ON or
OFF commands are executed for the area the page will update
and its status will display the current state. The states for each
group in the area will also be updated. Their updated state is
displayed in the status column heading.
Immediate ON/OFF commands can also be executed for each
group. Their status will update accordingly.
Using the ON or OFF buttons in the Area Status section will
switch the associated relays to the ON or OFF state and hold
them in that state until the next scheduled action for that group executes, or a switch input commands the group to a
different state. If no scheduled or switch action is given, then no change will occur.

Viewing Cause Data
The group detail information of the Area Status frame also has a “Cause” heading. Cause data reports what caused the
lighting groups to be in their current status. Cause data can prove to be helpful information when unplanned or unexpected
lighting events occur in a building. For example, if lights were expected to be in a certain state at certain point in time,
the user can determine the source of the event that caused a group to be in that state. The cause data should be read in
conjunction with the status data. There are three possible data values that can be reported as “Cause”. They include: “-”,
“Serial”, and “Switch”. BLV sends and receives signals to and from the lighting panels via an RS-485 twisted pair network.
When this connection is broken, BLV will be unable to send and receive signal commands to and from the lighting panel.
When the connection is breached the status data will read “Timeout”, and the cause data will read “-”; the “-” indicates
there is no connection. The example shown directly below displays the Cause report generated from disconnecting the
RS-485 cable from the BLV module:
Any signals that originate with the BLV module,
including schedule commands and manual override
button commands, are included in the “Serial” cause.
Example Cause reports for a Timeout and an
immediate ON action to an area can be viewed to the
right.
Lighting panel control boards may receive switch
inputs. Switch inputs to the lighting panels generate
lighting events by any kind of lighting switch in a
building.
A switch input must be assigned to a group in order for BLV to track its event. Any switch events from inputs that are
included in groups in BLV will generate a “Switch” cause. An example of a switch input event on Group 2 is displayed below:
Notice the added number to the “Switch” report.
The number displays the number of the switch input
through which the event was executed. TRIATEK
Lighting Panel Controller boards carry up to either
16 or 24 switch inputs depending on the model. See
TRIATEK “LP Controller Users Guide” for more information. The “Switch” cause will always be reported in the form “Switch:
N”, where N is the switch input number on the TRIATEK LP Controller.
Viewing Graphics
The LightView Browser also enables uploading and viewing a graphical image. With this feature the user has on-board
access to any graphical display of the building’s lighting architecture. The map used for this purpose should be in “Portable
Network Graphics” (.png) format. The maximum size of the file is 20KB. PNG files can be produced by converting
AutoCAD and other graphical software image type files. Most software packages like the aforementioned that produce
the graphics can also convert them. Macromedia® Fireworks® Software may prove especially useful because it not only
converts images to the PNG format, but it also creates the PNG file format. When images are converted to the PNG format
the image size is reduced considerably. The example graphic shown below was originally a 867MB CAD file, that when
converted became 5.5KB png format graphic.
Refer to Upload Map under System Setup to learn how to upload the graphic. To view an uploaded graphic, click ‘View
Map’ on the ‘Area and Group Status’ page. A separate Internet Explorer window will appear to display the graphic.

Backup and Restoration of Data
The BASnet LightView also provides backup and restore features found in System Setup. All data saved via the browser
is stored in the Random Access Memory (RAM) on the main board, and it remains in RAM by virtue of the battery
attached underneath the module. Therefore even on a power loss to the module the data should remain intact. The main
purpose of the backup feature is to have data on a fi le that is readily accessible when data needs to be restored without
having to reprogram the module. Although this fi le initially resides in RAM on the module board it can be moved to a local
PC or to any machine on an accessible network using the backup and download function, and then it can be moved
back again to the module using the upload and restore function. The procedures for backing up database to fi le and
restoring the database from fi le is described below.
Backing up data
To back up all confi guration data select ‘Backup and download database to
fi le’ link from System Setup. Selecting this option will store a fi le named ‘save.
dat’, on the module board in RAM. Once the link is selected and the data has
been written to fi le, a fi le download window will appear that prompts the user
to either open the fi le from its current location or to save this fi le to disk.
The fi le can be opened, but it is encoded for use by BLV and not the user.
Interpreting the construction of this fi le is outside the scope of this user guide;
however, if the user would like to learn its structure it would then be possible to create this fi le without having to reenter
data into BLV. This could prove useful if the fi le is ever deleted without being backed up.

Telephone Override with BASnet LightView
Overview
BASnet LightView is factory confi gured to work with TRIATEK’s TI-4500-0-Net telephone override interface. With this
option, the TI-4500-0-Net will have a unique address and sit on the RS-485 network just like a TRIATEK lighting panel
as shown below. LightView can connect to as many as 4 TI-4500-0-Net units on the same network. Addresses 252,
253, 254, 255 are reserved in LightView for this purpose. Mapping the TI Outputs to the Panel Groups in LightView It
is important to remember that a user will call the TI and enter a pre-set User ID number corresponding to the lighting
circuit for his space in the building. For this to happen, the following associations must be mapped into the system by the
installer:
1.) At each lighting panel, relays or breakers are assigned to the appropriate lighting Panel Group using LPPK.
2.) Each lighting panel is assigned a unique address on the RS-485 network using LPPK or the panel controller’s push
buttons.
3.) In the LightView module, the Panel Groups must be defi ned including the panel address 1-251, and the Panel Group.
This is done using MS Internet Explorer browser as explained in earlier sections of this BLV User Guide. The Panel
Groups are the same ones previously defi ned above, using LPPK.
Assigning the User a Telephone Override Code
Before a user’s ID# can be assigned, the installer or administrator must determine which Panel Address and Panel Group
contains the user’s lighting circuit. This number is fi xed since it is completely determined by the location of the lighting
circuit relay in its uniquely addressed panel. The installer or administrator can then use the circuit location to look up the
ID number in a special table provided by TRIATEK or calculate it by special equation provided by TRIATEK. The equation
is:
ID = [(Panel Address #) x 64] + Panel Group #.
The look-up table is provided with TI-4500-0-Net for BLV or can be found at the TRIATEK Lighting web site. Go to www.
triateklighting.com then select in succession these buttons/links:
Products BASnet LightView Module TI/BASnet ID Table.
Although the ID is completely fi xed, the option to protect access to the ID by a password can be enabled in the TI-4500.

Telephone Override with BASnet LightView
Range of ID Numbers
The User ID numbers in the TI-4500-0-Net are preset to the TRIATEK lighting panel groups in LightView. The range of
Panel Groups controlled by TI/BLV is Panel address 1 Group1 through Panel address 127 Group 60. This range of 7,620
panel groups can be accessed by one TI module or spread over as many as 4 TI modules on the same RS-485 network
connected to one BLV. However, one BLV can only control up to 1000 Panel Groups. Thus, although only 1000 Panel
Groups can be defi ned by BLV, these 1000 groups may be defi ned within a range of 7,620 possible Panel Groups.
Steps to Set-up TI-4500-Net with LightView
In order to set up the override system, the following simple steps should be considered. In these steps, 3 areas are
confi gured: the TI-4500-Net, the lighting panels and the LightView module. For this application of TI-4500, insure that the
Output Hold Time in the TI Master Commands be not less than 20 seconds.
1. Refer to TI-4500 Installation Guide for the following:
a. Wiring power supply to TI-4500.
b. Battery Backup
c. Telephone Connections
d. LED Indications
e. Master Operation
(1) Output hold time must not be less than 20 sec for this application.
f. Binary outputs mentioned in the TI install guide are pre-wired into an I/O module in the TI enclosure for this
application (TI-4500-Net).
2. Refer to the wiring diagram below for the following:
a. Locate the network I/O module below the TI main board and connect it to the lighting panel RS-485 network. This
module is factory addressed at 252. (Three additional TI-4500-0-Net devices can be included on the network but
must be addressed 253-255.) Lighting panels on the network with TI-4500-0-Net must be addressed between
1-127 if they are to be commanded by the LightView for requests for telephone override. Other panels may be
addressed between 1-255.
b. Connect the RS-485 twisted pair to the LightView BASnet RS-485 port A.
3. In order for the TI-4500 to interface with the BASnet LightView browser, Lighting panel Groups and Areas must be
defi ned and assigned just as they would be in a BASnet LightView system without a TI interface. Refer to earlier
sections of the BASnet LightView User’s Guide.
4. Refer to TI/BASnet ID Tables to identify TI user ID numbers (see TI Master Operation in 1 above).
Otherwise use ID# = [(Panel Address) x 64] + Panel Group Number
a. In order to assign a particular area of lighting to the Telephone Override, the administrator must determine which
lighting panel address and panel group number the lights belong to. The lighting area to be overridden cannot be
smaller than a lighting panel group as assigned in the lighting panel program ming. (Refer to LP Controller User’s
Guide - Confi guring Outputs)
b. In addition, the lighting panel and group must also be defi ned as a “Group” in the BASnet LightView Browser.
Normally, this group is also assigned to an “Area” also defi ned in LightView.
c. The User ID referred to by the TI Install and Setup Guide actually refers to a particular building space. This number is
completely determined by the lighting panel network address and group number. The group number identifi es the
relay and circuit within that panel that is supplying the lights with power.
d. Once this number is determined, it merely needs to be assigned to the appropriate user. The system does the rest.
The user can then call the TI-4500, answer the voice prompts and obtain the desired override On of lights after
normal scheduled hours.
5. General Operation:
a. Passwords may be enabled or disabled as explained in the TI-4500 Installation Guide - Master Operation
b. Overrides may be requested in increments of 1 hour for 1 to 6 hours. A “7”will cancel the present override.
c. The system uses “Last Command Rules” logic in relation to Light Schedules in BASnet and local wall switch
commands. If an off-sweep of building lights in BASnet occurs shortly after a request of override, merely call in
again to begin a new period of telephone override.

LPPK with BASnet LightView
BASnet LightView allows users
to program all TRIATEK panels
connected to BLV over the
Internet from any location. The
workstation must be running
version LPPK. When using LPPK
with LightView, scheduled lighting
events will still take place. During
LPPK programming activities via
LightView, response times on
LPPK may be noticeably slower,
because LightView is being shared.
To use LPPK via BASnet LightView:
• Have the PC or Laptop connected to LightView as described in section “Connecting to BLV”.
• Start LPPK and on connect screen, select radio button “Internet”.
• Still on the Connect screen, enter the IP address for LightView in the box “Hostname”
• Enter the Username and Password
• Click the Connect button
• LightView will authenticate the connection
• Continue normal programming with LPPK.
