Installation for the Street Lighting Solution

location (perhaps closer to or within a different line-of-sight of a previously

installed CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge module).
After you install the second CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge module, wait a few

minutes for the Segment Controller to discover and commission it. When the

CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge module’s green LED is on solid, the module has

been discovered and commissioned. Within a few more minutes, one or more

lamps should turn off as the Segment Controller discovers and commissions the

luminaires. If all of the lamps are off, the installation is complete.
For those lamps that do not turn off, install additional CRD 3000 Street Light

Bridge modules to further extend the communications range of the Segment

Controller.
If a newly installed CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge module does not cause any

lamps to turn off (perhaps because the newly installed module exceeds the

maximum hop count or range), it is likely that you need return to step 1 to install

a new Segment Controller.

Step 4: Complete Installation

After all of the luminaires, the Segment Controller, and the CRD 3000 Street

Light Bridge modules are installed, you can establish remote communications

with the Segment Controller and can manage the installed network. For

example, you can modify the installation information for each of the luminaires

and CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge modules, and define schedules for the lights

within the network. These tasks are typically performed by a network

integrator.
Recommendation: For installations in which each luminaire has its photocell

removed to allow network communications to manage the luminaires (for

example, a typical US installation), install a small number of luminaires

(perhaps 20 to 30) and CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge modules each day so that

you can minimize the amount of time that any luminaire remains on (out of

communications with the Segment Controller).
For installations in which the luminaires are managed by monitoring software

(such as Streetlight.Vision Data Collect) and have group switching established,

normal switching operations control the lamps’ behavior (that is, they are off

during the day and on at night). Thus, for such preconfigured networks, you can

install as many luminaires as required for the project without concern for the

amount of time that any luminaire remains on.

Existing Installations

Installation for existing street lighting networks is similar to installation for new

networks. In general, you can add new luminaires and CRD 3000 Street Light

Bridge modules to add new segments to the network, or you can relocate,

reassign, or replace existing luminaires or CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge

modules based on the needs of the network.
If a luminaire or CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge module fails, you can use the

Segment Controller Web pages to determine which device is bad. You can

decommission the failing device, physically replace the failing device, assign the

new device’s Neuron ID to the decommissioned device, then recommission it. See
