he most
intelligent street lighting control system is born. Thanks to the innovative
Dimonoff® Technology, this new Dimonoff®
system can control and monitor remotely the condition of an almost
unlimited number of streetlights. By monitoring/controlling
the lamps usage and failures in real time you get many new exciting
benefits:
Communications are encrypted. The
Dimonoff® system uses Power
Line technology to communicate, over the AC power lines, between their
control modules retrofitted in the poles of the streetlights and a gateway,
typically located in the local transformer station.
A WAN technology is used to link the gateway to the server software.
The operator can access the server software over the Internet and can
thus control and monitor the streetlights from a remote location.
Dimonoff® Technology offers
a complete networking platform with reliable communication and excellent
range at a competitive price.
The early positive response from the market also serves to validate
this choice.
The rapid development of this end-to-end system was made possible by
combining the expertise of Cristal Controls in intelligent product development
and the simplicity of Dimonoff®
technology.
With energy prices and other costs rapidly increasing, municipalities
and utilities need solutions that will increase their internal efficiencies.
The Dimonoff® street lighting
control system offers such a solution.
Benefits
-
-
Save Energy and Money. Load shed by switching off lighting circuits
in the early morning hours.
-
Reduce peak demand by time-staggering
circuit switching.
-
Eliminate day-burning lamps. System reports day burning lights
allowing repairmen to correct problem and save energy cost.
-
Track energy usage. Develop energy use
profiles of services or branch circuits to develop proposed rate
structures and evaluate equipment and lighting efficiencies. Ability
to sub-meter energy.
-
Reduce manpower and increase reporting accuracy. Fault detection
and reporting is automated.
-
Increase safety and minimize legal exposure.
Any circuit outage, ground fault, and lamp failure is automatically
detected thereby reducing Mean-Time-To-Repair with a net result
of higher lighting availability and quick elimination of electrical
hazard.
-
Improve Asset Management. Compare equipment life-span to manufactures'
warranties. Track repairs and inventory. Reduce luminary component
damage due to lamp cycling/failure.
-
Improve Maintenance Management. Track
contractor performance.
-
Easy to install. The Sensor uses the low voltage AC network to
transmit its metering data. No additional wiring is required thereby
reducing installation costs.
-
Growth. The system can address multiple
applications simultaneously. A system can be initially installed
with the intent of one application, and grow over time with additional
applications.
-
Comprehensive Platform. The system is a complete end-to-end solution,
from field sensors to End-Users on the Internet.
-
Scalable. The system is highly scalable
from tens of monitored points to millions of monitored points.
-
Complies with the emerging industry Standards for Electrical
and Lighting Management Systems.
