Smart Projects utilising the Thorlux Smart System can frequently benefit from energy savings in excess of 70% when compared with conventional technology . The factory fitted addition of a SmartScan transceiver, to a Thorlux Smart luminaire, introduces the latest wireless mesh network technology and replaces the wired Motionline communication signals between luminaires with sophisticated, trouble free wireless transmissions. Each transceiver can be individually programmed with a SmartScan Programmer, during commissioning, and assigned to work exclusively within a particular building, or group created within that building. Energy performance data can be retrieved using the SmartScan Programmer. SmartScan uses 868MHz (922MHz in Australasia) secure radio communication chosen for its excellent transmission distance and object penetration, especially useful within buildings. Each luminaire acts as a wireless node, repeating each command received onto the next luminaire, providing a robust system that will always find a communication path.
Emergency At Platform 1 all SmartScan emergency luminaires are stand-alone. Each luminaire will self-test to the schedule specified in BS EN 50172:2004. The operational status of each luminaire is displayed by the status LED and operational status information can be retrieved using the SmartScan Programmer. Manual tests can also be initiated at each luminaire using the SmartScan Programmer. The user, legally, will need to inspect each luminaire at prescribed intervals to monitor test status and manually log the results.
Addressing - Each SmartScan transceiver can be assigned an address to suit its application. The following parameters are programmable: Building Address Identifies devices that are within the same system and forms the boundary for the wireless mesh network to prevent adjacent buildings communicating. Group Address All luminaires with the same building address and the same group address will work together for presence detection and scene control. Up to 254 different zones can be created in one building. Device Address To provide unique identification, individual luminaires within each group can be given an address. Link Address Allows presence detection communication signals to be transmitted between different groups of luminaires. Each group can be set to transmit or receive an independent link address enabling occupancy in one area to keep another linked unoccupied area illuminated.
