FAQs
How do I order the system?
Using the application guidelines on page 4, determine the number of gateways, routers and LumaWatt energy management servers. If the network components cannot be
installed individually in a suitable location, specify the ENCI enclosure with factory installed router and LumaWatt energy management server. For compatible luminaires, add
the sufx DIMRF-LW (Wide sensor distribution) or DIMRF-LN (Narrow sensor distribution) to the end of the catalog number depending on the sensor lens distribution required.
Specify LN (narrow) for luminaire mounting heights above 40' or LW (wide) for heights below 16'.
Will controls extend standard delivery lead times?
No. Standard lead times will not change.
Who commissions the system?
Cooper Lighting will provide commissioning details at time of quotation.
Will Cooper Lighting be offering a commissioning certication program?
Yes. LumaWatt commissioning training will be offered in 2014.
What if I have more than four gateways?
Larger routers can be sourced for up to ten ports, or multiple routers may be used.
Does the LumaWatt energy management server have to be powered all of the time?
Yes. It will not log data, or meter power otherwise. The sensor clocks will occasionally require updating from the LumaWatt energy management server.
What If I do not have an IT closest or room to locate the LumaWatt energy management server and router?
You can order an ENCI enclosure with the LumaWatt energy management server, router and power supplies factory installed in an indoor enclosure rated enclosure.
Can you install a gateway outdoors?
No. This must be installed on the inside of an exterior wall.
What is the wireless standard?
Radio frequency 2405-2480 MHz (Channels 11-26) compliant with IEEE 802.15.4 wireless communication protocol including AES encryption to ensure secure links.
What advantage does 2.4 GHz offer over 900 MHz?
The advantage of 2.4 GHz is higher speed and lower cost than 900 MHz. The much wider channels at 2.4 GHz allow a much higher data rate which cannot be matched by
the lower frequencies. The 2.4 GHz band is also used by common commercial wireless technologies such as Wi, Bluetooth and Zigbee.
What are the standard sensor colors?
Sensors are available in bronze and off white. Bronze luminaires have bronze sensors, all other colors have an off white sensor installed.
Where are the setup and administration guides located?
The setup and administration guides (PDFs) are located on the Cooper Lighting web site at www.cooperlighting.com.
Will LumaWatt be sold to retrot existing luminaires?
No. LumaWatt is only available factory installed in new luminaires. The product is not certied for eld installation.
What other devices can be controlled by LumaWatt?
An outdoor rated, remote sensor enclosure will be soon be available. Consult factory for availability. The remote sensor will be suitable to provide ON/OFF functionality for
a 20a 120V circuit, or control a 0-10V circuit for up to ten drivers. This device will allow for integration of existing facade or landscape lighting, provided it is isolated on a
separate circuit.
Can I access the system with my smartphone?
The LumaWatt software is an Adobe Flash web application. Many smartphone browsers are not fully compatible with Adobe Flash. Adobe Flash is best run on a web capable
device with Windows Explorer or Google Chrome browsers. Many portable tablets running full versions are usually a better choice.
