What is nLight?

• nLight is a revolutionary digital architecture
  and networking technology that cost-effectively
  integrates time-based, daylight-based,
  sensor-based and manual lighting controls.

3
How does nLight work?
nLight networks together intelligent digital
devices including occupancy sensors, photocells,
power packs, wall switches, dimmers, panels, and
even luminaires creating a system with an
unmatched level of distributed intelligence

nLight Control Zone
25
nLight Control Zone

• Zones are daisy-chain wired (in any order)
• May have a single device
• May have several different device types
• May have multiple devices of the same type
• Can be sub-divided into 16 channels of occupancy,
  photocell, and switch control
• Functions stand-alone if disconnected from
  Gateway/SensorView

26
Zones and Channels

• Every nLight zone has 16 occupancy channels, 16
  photocell channels, and 16 switch channels on
  which to communicate information

• Any device with a sensor, photocell, and/or
  switch can broadcast each type of information on
  one respective channel (2 pole devices can
  broadcast of two channels simultaneously)
• Any device with a relay and/or dimming output can
  listen (track) on one or more of each information
  types channels simultaneously

27
Zones and Channels - Example

• Example
• Classroom with 4 circuits of lights (3 main rows
  of lights, 1 accent light)
• Two occupancy sensors each broadcasting on
  occupancy channel OC-1
• One dimming photocell broadcasting on photocell
  channel PC-1
• Four WallPods broadcasting on switch channels
  SC-1, SC-2, SC-3, and C-4 respectively
• Four Power Packs tracking on occupancy channel
  OC-1, each tracking a different switch channel
  (SC-1, SC-2, SC-3, SC-4), and two tracking
  photocell channel PC-1

nLight Network Backbone
37
nLight Network Backbone

• Backbone devices include
• Bridges
• Gateways

38
nLight Bridge

• Functions
• Routes Information between upstream Gateways up
  to 8 downstream sensor zones
• Increases number of lighting zones (128 devices
  per port)
• Acts as both a hub and router of information
  between zones and Gateway
• Redistributes power between zones

• Physical Specs
• 4 or 8 ports (RJ-45)
• Mounts to 4x4 junction box
• Powered via dedicated Power Supply
• Optional Wireless interconnectivity

39
Gateway

• Functions
• Local Control Point
• Two gang low voltage device located in space
• Discovers and maintains database of all network
  devices
• Capable of managing 400 devices indirectly or 32
  devices directly
• Typically one per floor

• Network Access Point
• Links Ethernet to nLight network
• Contains one Ethernet port and 3 SensorNet ports
• Maintains time clock

• Profile management
• Stores all profiles created by SensorView that
  include a device connected to Gateway
• Sends out new settings to all devices in the
  Group bound to a particular Profile at the times
  specified by that Profile
• Enables profiles to be run on-demand

40
Gateway

• Network connection
• IP address can be fixed or DHCP
• Derives time from network
• Ethernet port connects to buildings LAN (Local
  Area Network)
• Security
• Gateway password (set via SensorView) prevents
  outside SensorViews from accessing network
• Once password is set for one Gateway it is
  automatically configured as the password for all
  current and future Gateways on the network
• 4 Digit Pin Code is available to enable locking
  of Gateway manual interface

• Installation
• Discovery of network is automatic, rediscovery
  can be forced via MDI
• Mounts to 2-gang low voltage ring

System Powering

• All device and communication power is delivered
  via the CAT-5 bus that interconnects zones and
  Bridges.
• Power is supplied by power packs (nPP16), power
  supplies (nPS 80), and Bridges (via their
  external power supply)

Typical Power Consumption
Power Generation
3mA
3mA
3mA
Note WallPod Scene Selectors require 5 mA
Wall Switch Sensors with the NL option
require 3.5 mA
44
System Powering

• Bridges combine system power from zones that are
  net contributors of power and distribute it to
  zones that are net consumers of power

45
Design Rules

• Design Rule 1 Every zone requires either a power
  pack/supply or a connection to a Bridge in order
  to power all devices and the zones communication
  bus.
• Design Rule 2 Only one device with a photocell
  should broadcast on each channel per zone. No two
  photocells should be able to see the lights being
  controlled by another photocell
• Virtually any combination of nLight Devices
  can exist in a zone that conforms to these design
  rules.

46
Design Tips

• Recommended that the power pack be directly
  connected to the Bridge
• Any zone connected to a Bridge should have
  exactly one open port
• Any zone designed to run stand-alone should have
  exactly two open ports
• Leave extra Bridge ports unused for expansion
• Use a Gateway per logical building division
  (floor, suite, wing, etc.)

47
Design Tips

• Minimize Bridge-to-Bridge hops

48
System Capacity

• 400 nLight Devices per Gateway
• 40 Active Profiles (Schedules) per Gateway
• Unlimited Bridges per network
• gt40 Gateways per SensorView
• 40 concurrent SensorView web sessions
• Gateway support 32 locally connected devices
  total
• Bridges support 128 devices connected per port
• 500 ft total cable length per zone
• Bridges are counted in 400 device limit per
  Gateway

49
Wide Area Networking of nLight

• Multiple Gateways can be linked together to form
  larger networks
• SensorView auto-discovers all Gateways in its
  local network subnet
• Remote Gateways can be linked in by inputting IP
  address to SensorView
• Application Branch locations of a bank connected
  via corporate WAN network
• Device level permissions will allow for
  partitioning of users to certain Gateways
• Application Multi-tenant buildings with one
  overall nLight/SensorView network
