Hazardous area rated LED fixture integrates wireless controls
The new SafeSite High Bay with Wireless Control system offers a simple and secure touch-screen management interface that provides maximum lighting control and energy efficiency for both indoor and outdoor hazardous applications, such as refineries, drilling platforms, chemical and power generation facilities.
The system combines Dialight SafeSite LED technology with a simple-to-use touchscreen wall controller that is ETL certified to UL standards. Up to 100 fixtures can be networked onto a single controller and banked by aisle, room or other configurations for zonal control. By implementing the system, facilities can eliminate the need to keep lights burning 24/7 to avoid the lengthy warm-up period and wear-and-tear of repeated on/off operation on conventional fixtures. Facilities also gain independent control of lights, including those that are tied to circuits and switches for other equipment.
The intuitive wall controller provides full control over all networked fixtures with:
- manual and remote on/off and dimming capability,
- fully automatic scheduling for on/off and dimming, including the ability to set daily profiles for a truly customized lighting program,
- integrated occupancy sensors to automatically override scheduled off or dim state when someone enters the area,
- ambient light sensors to harvest daylight, automatically dimming the fixtures when light through windows or skylights provide sufficient illumination,
- remote access via any Wi-Fi enabled device (laptop, tablet or smartphone) for complete management and monitoring from anywhere.
Wireless networking is based on the industry standard 802.15.4 at 2.4GHz and provides a self-healing, expandable system that allows for simple, plug-and-play addition of new fixtures. For maximum security, 128-bit AES encryption ensures secure authentication and device joining to prevent unauthorized access. The system is also available in DALI wired configurations.
