Description
The CAN-LON Area Controller (AC) is a network component used in the LightMaster Modular (LMM) system. It is used to
sub-divide a lighting management system into discreet areas, zones or floors. A LightMaster Modular system is often divided
into a number of separate areas , with each being supervised by an Area Controller. The AC is available in two versions; the
basic model LFC5089/10 and the TCP/IP enabled LFC5089/20.
The Area Controllers divide the LMM control system into discrete units to manage network traffic, schedule time
commands to the lighting controllers (LCMs) under their control and implement commands from the Central Supervisor
to re-configure areas (e.g. to alter the relationship between switches and lights).
A Central Supervisor can manage up to 99 Area Controllers on a CAN spine or 1000 via the Ethernet. Each Area Controller
can control up to 100 LMM lighting control modules with the use of a Lonworks® repeater when more than 60 LCMs are involved.
This AC can also be used in LightMaster 100 Systems (sold and installed between 1996 and 2005) as a service spare. Mechanical
The Area Controller is supplied in a galvanized, folded, 1.0mm steel enclosure. It is provided with 9 knock-outs (20mm) on one face to facilitate
cable entry for both mains and bus wiring.
Location:
The Area Controller should be loca ted in an electrical riser cupboard, on the same floor as the lighting control modules it manages.
It should be mounted at eye level to facilitate the use of the internal controls and LCD panel.
Power supply:
A 230V 50Hz ac 3A un-switched fused spur is required to supply the Area Controller. A standard 13A 3 pin socket outlet must also be provided
within 3m of the AC to allow connection of a laptop PC for commissioning and maintenance purposes.
