Streetlight
The Master module is mains-powered (230vac, 20VA), contains a 433MHz transceiver, a GSM/GPRS modem and connects to the photocell in the lamp. When the photocell is triggered, the master unit instructs its slave units to switch on or off as appropriate.

Slave Street-lamp unit is pin compatible with the standard NEMA photocell. It is designed as a direct replacement for existing photocells making it quick and easy to fit. It is mains-powered (230vac, 5VA). The Street-lamp slave monitors the lamp after switch on and reports any lamp failure and also monitors the power factor.
In addition to monitoring the lamps, explicit tests can be run on individual lamps. Any slave can be instructed to switch on or switch off its lamp.
There is a ‘watchdog’ facility in case of power failure to the slave unit – the master unit polls the slaves periodically and reports if a slave cannot be contacted.
An SMS message can be sent from the host pc to alert an engineer to a failure, if required.

The Street-Lamp Slave is suitable for lamps in the range 75-250 watts using triac switching.
Benefits
Immediate notification of lamp failure, before the public complain or have an accident.
Identify tampering with lamps
Check cycling (explain cycling)
Reduce or eliminate night time patrolling
Dim lights to save energy
Extend the actual working life of luminaires closer to their theoretical limits (if it ain't broke, don't fix it) – lamps often changed before design faiurel as a safety measure.
Reduced numbers of photo sensors - only one required per zone
