Installation Guide

Physical Integration within a Lighting Fixture

Node Location & Installation
· The location of the node inside the fixture must be selected to keep the node as far away as possible from sources of heat or electrical interference, such as the lamp ballast/driver/power supply, or the light bulb or LED panel and its heatsink. Never install the node directly above these; The preferred location is in the lower part of the fixture below any source of heat.
· Record the location the Internal Node is installed (since it doesn't have GPS), this can be done by either manually recording it or using the Current commissioning app that is available on iOS to ensure the node is positioned in current location on the map view.
· Ensure the node location provides a secure and robust mounting support surface with 2 appropriately positioned screw hole locations.
· Attach the node into the fixture using 2 screws using both holes provided on opposite sides of the node.
Important Notes: · All unused wires must be removed (cut flush with the housing) or isolated electrically (using a wire nut and/or
electrical tape or heat-shrink tubing). · Do not attempt to open the node housing or alter any part of the node. · It is the integrator's responsibility to ensure the temperature rating of the node is never exceeded; Make certain
that the ambient temperature around the node in its selected location can never exceed 50 degrees Celsius. · The node by default will be ON until schedule is downloaded to the node from the CMS.

RF Antenna Location & Installation
· To select the optimum antenna mounting point, read the following and refer to the illustrations (right) showing examples of the best, acceptable, and unacceptable locations and orientations.
· The antenna must be mounted on a conductive (metal) surface. If the fixture is of non- conductive construction (such as plastic), the inner surface where the antenna is to be installed should be lined with a thin metal sheet or foil (such as copper foil tape) approximately 6" to 12" diameter, with the antenna installed through the center of this metallized area.
· The antenna is to be installed through a 12mm diameter hole drilled through the outer surface of the lamp fixture housing. The mounting surface around this hole must be perfectly smooth, flat, and free of any burrs to insure a watertight seal when installed.
· The antenna mounting surface thickness should be from 1mm to 6mm thick at the point where the hole is drilled.
· The antenna is not detachable from the node; A suitable location for both the node and antenna must be found which allows the antenna and its wire to be routed from the node installation point, to where it can be passed through the antenna mounting hole from the inside of the fixture.
· When installing the antenna, make sure the supplied O-ring is retained in the groove in the base flange of the antenna (on the inner surface of the lamp housing). The plastic nut is then threaded onto the antenna shaft on the outside of the fixture and tightened, being very careful not to overtighten. Insure the O-ring is compressed but not displaced from its groove to prevent water ingress.
· The antenna must be installed vertically with respect to the ground. Therefore, the surface it is mounted to must be horizontal. If the most suitable location is not perfectly horizontal at the point where the antenna is mounted, bevel washers may be used on either side of the mounting hole to insure the antenna will be perfectly vertical when installed.

Installation Guide

RF Antenna Location & Installation
· The selected location of the antenna on the outside of the fixture must be free of any significant conductive
(metal) obstruction horizontally, 360 degrees around it, measured from the base of the antenna where it meets the lamp fixture surface, to at least 12" above this surface. Plastic or glass features will not affect the antenna if they are at least 1-2cm away from it.
· The preferred location for the antenna on the fixture is generally the highest point on the upper surface of the
fixture, centered on this mounting surface.
· On hanging fixtures supported from above, the antenna may be mounted pointed downward, at a suitable
location on the lower surface of the fixture housing.

Labels
· The Internal Node is supplied with 3 identical
labels. One label is affixed on the node housing. The other two labels packaged with each node are to be affixed on a visible location on the exterior of the fixture and/or the base of the pole, for commissioning purposes.
· The MAC address of each node is printed on the
label both as barcode & plain text.
