Pre-Commissioning

Creating a New Site

This is the Home Page for the Wireless Radio Control App. You can return here at any point by tapping on the site postcode. On this page you can view the sites you have set up locally on the tablet or have available to download from the server.

If you tap on a postcode under “Postcodes on Tablet” you will be able to see information related to that site. This will not work if you select a drawing under “Postcodes on Server” as the data must be downloaded first (see Postcodes section).

Post Codes

To create a new site tap on the “Add New Postcode” button.

This will open the postcode window. Simply enter both parts of the postcode and tap Validate, Register and then download. To do this you must be connected to the internet and logged in.

After 30 seconds you can then press close.

This will have now created the postcode within your “Postcodes on Tablet” window. Tap on the newly created postcode and then the drawings tab in the navigation panel.

If the postcode has already been created then after pressing Validate you will be prompted to press Download and not Validate.

Drawings - Importing

For the commissioning process to be as accurate as possible, drawings need to be imported onto the tablet. The most common way to do this is to provide Wireless Radio with drawings when the LiteIP–Tablet–Pack is ordered.

A tablet request form is then issued to ensure the address and postcode of the site is captured. At this stage we will also request the gmail account which the OEM/client wish to use going forward. If no gmail account exists we will create one which is generally, lighting.sitexxxx@gmail.com.

Drawings can be manually imported onsite as follows:

• Send the drawing to Wireless Radio to resize and convert into a bmp file

• Download and Save the file to the tablet

• Load the Wireless Radio Commissioning App > Drawings > New

• Import a Drawing File by selecting Browse

• Select the file and tap Okay

Drawings - Creating

If no drawings exist, then manual drawings can be created:

• Tap Drawings > New > Create

• Name the drawings and enter an x dimension for the width of the area being created

Once created click Modify to:

• Add a Door(s)

• Add a Window(s)

• Add simulated furniture

• Add a 600x600 or 1mx1m ceiling grid

• Block out areas to reflect the room shape

Note – if manual drawings are required then the OEM should be in attendance with the commissioning engineer to ensure they are satisfied with the drawing layout prior to any additional works being undertaken.

Simulating Devices - Array

The OEM can improve the speed and accuracy of the commissioning process by adding simulated devices to the drawings before onsite work commences. This allows for luminaire positions to be allocated and adjusted.

• Tap Luminaires > Locate

• Drag your finger across the drawing from top left to bottom right

• An orange box will appear along with 'Group Commands' on the left hand side

• Tap Simulate Array > Enter Column Quantity (1-8) > Save > Enter Rows (1-3) > Save

• The quantity of simulated fittings is now on the drawing

• If you need to move the group (or a smaller group), drag your finger across the group and use the arrow in the bottom right of the screen

• Repeat the process to add more arrays of fittings

Simulating Devices - Individual

Once you have simulated arrays for the majority of the devices it may be necessary to add one or two additional fittings manually:

• Luminaires > Locate

• Tap in the white bar below Find, this will add an individual simulated device

• Tap and hold the device to drag it onto the drawing

• Straighten the devices by clicking Snap and Save if you are happy with the amendment

The orange luminaires represent placeholders which will be replaced upon commissioning with real devices. This also serves as a check to ensure that all real devices have been captured on commissioning as an orange device only ever represents a simulated device.

Commissioning

Locate

In order to replace simulated devices with real devices:

• Tap Locate, ensure your DONGLE is connected and Bluetooth Symbol is illuminated

  • For further details on connecting DONGLE - see Application Note - LiteIP Mate

• Press Find, if you are in range of Wireless Radio devices, the list will populate with up to 9 devices

• Tap on device and use 'Override Off' Button on the top left of the screen. This will turn the fitting off for 5 seconds to allow you to identify which fitting it is

• Once you know which fitting it is, tap and hold the device and drop it over the simulated device

• A Warning Message will appear to advise you about to replace the device

• If you have not simulated devices, click and hold the device and drag it onto the drawing and position it manually

• Once you have located all of the fittings in the Find bar, press Find again to repeat the process

• Devices will continue to be found until they are all on a drawing

  • If you drag a fitting onto the wrong drawing, this can be dragged back off the drawing or into the Find Bar so it can be found again

  • If you are too far from one of the found devices -

    • you can ignore it and Press Find again (the device will be found again on a subsequent Find)

    • or drop it into the 'Hold Box' - the small white box below the Find Box

Emergency Fittings

If you have emergency fittings, these should be identified at this stage of the process. This should always be done in accordance with the drawings provided by the OEM, with a visual check of the luminaire to make certain it is an emergency luminaire.

When locating luminaires and you find an emergency luminaire:

• Tap ‘Configure’ in the bottom left of the screen and select Emergency on the left hand side

• This will apply an 'E' to the selected fitting for identification

Creating Profiles

Once all luminaires are identified and placed onto the relevant drawing, the next stage is to create profiles in accordance with the Controls Philosophy.

Profiles hold all the parameters to be applied to the device.

To access this menu:

• Profiles > Components

• Create a new profile by clicking on the drop down box on '100 - Default'

• Tap NEW PROFILE TYPE (this will create a copy of the profile selected)

• Rename the device as appropriate and Save

Driver

Select the Driver, this will bring up the following options.

• Select the Driver for the fitting:

  • DALI or 1-10v - will allow the following settings to be applied

• Select the required settings for this profile:

  • OnLevel - the maximum on level of the luminaire

  • FadeTime - the length of time the fitting will take to fade to Standby Level

  • StandbyLevel - the level of the luminaire once it is dimmed

  • StandbyTime - the length of time the luminaire remains at the Standby Level

    • Set at 127.5 for Never Off

  • PowerOn - enter the wattage of the luminaire at full output

  • DayNightEnabled - See Application Note - Building Occupied & Unoccupied Mode

  • Save Changes

• Tridonic E3M - This is a specific Tridonic device

• Save Changes

E3Module

• If there are emergency fittings of this luminaire type this select the E3 Module Box and the appropriate Emergency Manufacturer. It is not necessary to have a standalone profile for emergency and non-emergency luminaires of the same type.

• If there is more than one type of emergency module manufacturer, you will need multiple profiles

• Save Changes

LDR

The LDR box can be used to set up Daylight Sensors, Lamp Monitors or Temperature Sensors.

• Daylight Sensors - if you have a Circular Recessed, Surface IP65 or Conduit Entry Sensor, review the Spec Guide to determine whether to use Sensor Up or Sensor Down

• Lamp Monitor - select this if you have a V Sense Monitor

• Temperature - select this if you have a Temperature Monitor

Device Icon

Once you have set up each profile, you can change the icon so it's easier to identify on the drawing

• Tap on the luminaire image in the top left > select from drop down list > save

Repeat the process for as many profiles as you require, remembering to save each profile

Applying Profiles

Once you have created your profiles, they can be applied to the Wireless Radio devices.

• Select Luminaires > Configure

• Select an individual device or group of devices by swiping your finger across a group of devices

• Tap Profile and the drop down list will appear

• Select the desired profile and it will be applied to the selected luminaires

• Repeat the process for all devices

• Ensure all the fittings are blue and Synced - using the Sync button in the top left or tapping the individual device

Linking

Now devices need to be linked into groups.

Presence

Tap Luminaires > Link

• Individual Link

  • To put an individual link between luminaires, determine the two fittings to be linked and drag your finger between the two devices.

  • This will put a link in the direction you drew the line

  • If you require a bi-directional link, draw a line back the other way

• Multiple Links

  • Select the group of fittings you'd like to link by dragging your finger over them

  • You will be presented with 6 options

• Link All(xx) - this will link all luminaires together so that presence detected on any sensor will bring the other linked fittings on

• Unlink All - this will remove all presence links for the group of devices

• Link From X - this will provide a link from another device. If you select this option you will be prompted to enter the full device number

• Link To X - this will provide a link to another device. If you select this option you will be prompted to enter the full device number

• Link to Self – Link luminaires to themselves so they will operate independently

• Me&2 - this will allow for smaller groups of fittings to be linked within a large group and is typically used in open areas.The '2' can be changed to a larger number with a long press on the 'Me&2'button

  • To implement -

    • highlight the whole group to be controlled in this way

    • long press Me&2

    • a popup box will prompt you to enter the group size > save

    • press the Me&xx button again (this will now display the number you entered)

    • a diagram will appear on the drawing

Backup

It is important that the commissioning tablet is the Master and is Uploaded to the cloud for several reasons:

• Unless the Project is uploaded to the cloud, no information will be available on the internet Dashboard.

• Unless the Project is uploaded to the cloud, the ACCESS POINTs (if installed) will not be able to upload information to the Cloud.

• If the project is uploaded to the Cloud then it will be available for other authorised tablet users to download and potentially take control of.

• If you lose or break your tablet, having a backup in the Cloud will allow you to restore the project onto a new tablet.

To Upload:

• Ensure the tablet is connected to the internet

• Click on the blue Wi-Fi symbol > the yellow Cloud Control Box will appear

• Ensure that Read Access, Write Access, Enabled, Uploading and Master are ticked

• Press Re-sync
