Electrical Services Section 20.00 / Page 5
An electronic copy of the lighting program, and any software required to modify the program,
shall be included in the ‘As Constructed’ documentation. All rights, intellectual or otherwise, to
the programming shall be vested in the Principal. Any special devices or equipment required for
programming the system shall be supplied to the campus Maintenance Supervisor at Final
Completion, if required.
Tuition of up to three GU staff, nominated by the Superintendent, covering the maintenance,
operation and programming of the system shall be provided within the Contract.
20.03.02 Lighting Control System
The lighting control system shall be programmed to provide the following functions;
 Turn lighting on / off to a programmed time schedule.
 Turn lighting on / off depending on responses from PIR’s within the area and adjacent
egress paths.
 Dim or increase lighting depending on responses to daylight levels from PE cells.
Controllers shall be programmed to maintain a pre-determined lighting level
Controllers shall be located at the local distribution board, in a segregated section or separate
enclosure.
Where required, controlled luminaries shall be fitted with a surface mounted terminal block on the
exterior of the fitting for a plug-in type connection for the lighting control data network. Terminal
blocks shall be capable of terminating 2 no. 2.5 mm
2
figure 8 cables in a loop in, loop out cabling
system. Terminal blocks shall be connected to the internal data terminals of the ballast.
20.03.03 CCMS Controlled Lighting
Only perimeter, external and external feature lighting shall be CCMS controlled through a
contactor at the local sub-board. Where corridor lighting is controlled by a Lighting Control
System, it shall not be connected to the CCMS.
External feature lighting shall be connected to a separate circuit and programmed to turn off at
11.00 p.m.
Where required, a master/slave contactor system shall be used where the master contactor is
controlled by the time switching function of the CCMS. The status of the contactor(s) shall be
monitored by the CCMS for each group.
Each group shall have a local Auto/Off/Manual switch at the local distribution board for testing
purposes. The contactors shall be labelled as to what they control and not just ‘C1’, ‘C2’ etc, but
‘External Lighting’ etc.
20.03.04 Spaces with AMX AV Control
The following requirements shall apply to spaces designated to be fitted with an AMX audio
visual equipment controller, whether the AMX is being installed under the contract or nominated
as a future installation item.
Lecture Theatres & Auditoriums - All luminaires within the space (including room in use lights
or the like), with the exception of the emergency luminaires, shall be controlled via a ‘Dynalite
Dimtek’ energy management controller, or approved equivalent, linked to an AMX audio visual
equipment controller. A suitable AMX-Dynalite interface (DTK-622 PC Node or equal alternative)
shall be included in the AV equipment specification. The control panel shall be clearly labelled to
indicate the preset lighting configuration.
Provide one (1) lighting controller per room or AMX system whichever is the greater. The system
shall be complete with controller, switch panels, control wiring, programming and interface to the
AMX system in each room.
The lighting control system shall be programmed to operate with a number of preset scenes.
Different scenes shall be required when the system is controlled via AMX to that when the
system is operated via the switch panel, final scene configuration shall be to the approval of the
INS/LES representative. Refer to Appendix A to this Section for switching groups.
