6. If the lighting circuit will contain only lighting loads that are controlled using
power line based controllers like the CPD 3000 or CLP 4000 you should
expect solid communication across dedicated lighting segment. If there are
other devices attached to the same electrical service, such as traffic
controllers, you may need to use a filter to isolate these devices from the
outdoor lighting circuits.
7. If the circuit includes a mixture of CPD 3000/CLP 4000 devices, and fixtures
controlled by the Top900 or other means, it may be necessary to install filters
to reduce the impact of the impairments by these devices. Small filters such
as the Schaffner FN2060-1-06 may be placed at each in line with the service
connection. These filters must be installed with the line side facing the
load to provide the best power line impairment isolation.
8. Limit the number of CPD 3000/CLP 4000 devices to 200 devices when the
SmartServer is used as the segment controller, and 500 devices in LPG
applications.
9. It is generally best to build out from the segment controller. The SLB on the
first power line segment that contains the segment controller should be
installed first.
10. Installers should document the unique ID and the configured state by
observing the green LED. Flashing green LED: unconfigured, Solid ON:
configured.
11. Only unconfigured SLBs should be installed in LPG applications.
12. Installers must document the location or pole ID where the SLB is installed.
13. Installers must capture the state of the RF signal LED. If OFF, or flashing
On/Off with a ¼ ON ¾ OFF, the SLB may not function reliably.
14. Limit the number of communication hops to 6.
