CIRCUTOR CIRLAMP Series - Manual (Page 76)

The CirLAMP system works with two types of work intervals:
 Memory work interval, with this system up to four different work intervals can be con-
figured through the CirLAMP Manager. The CirLAMP Node saves the work intervals in
the memory and operates autonomously so there is no need to send PLC commands for
each of the intervals.
The different light points are activated simultaneously since a general synchronisation is
completed on each start-up (every day).
Only two regulations can be programmed in the CirLAMP Node DN (For example: 100%
and 50%).
 Work time interval, a PLC command can be sent at any time to modify the % of pow-
er sent to the load, as well as the time period for this new power, in the work period which
is being executed at that moment.
When the period is changed the CirLAMP Node continues to work with the memory intervals.
See “ 4.6.3.1.2. Instantaneous values” to program the work intervals.
5�3�2� ALARMS
The CirLAMP Nodes can detect a burnt out lamp, an open capacitor and a blinking light, and
generate an alarm.
5�3�2�1� Detection of burnt out lamp (alBroken)
Each CirLAMP node measures (every second) the active and apparent power consumed by
the lamp. When the lamp blows, the value of active power reduces considerably. The node de-
tects this anomalous operation and generates an alarm.
See “4.6.3.1.4. Alarmas” to program the alarm parameters.
5�3�2�2� Detection of open capacitor (alCapacity)
The PFC capacitor can be damaged over time, resulting in a very high value of inductive reac-
tive power.
The unit will activate the capacitor open alarm when it detects that this value has been high for
1 hour.
See “4.6.3.1.4. Alarmas” to program the alarm parameters.
5�3�2�3� Detection of a blinking lamp (alIntermi)
Depending on the type of lamp, once it has reached the end of its useful life, it does not switch
off but starts to switch on intermittently, the CirLAMP Node detects this anomalous situation
and activates the alIntermi alarm if the lamp switches off more than a programmable number
of times over a period of 2 hours.
See “4.6.3.1.4. Alarmas” to program the alarm parameters.
