System 1600 Controller
Designed as a ‘stand-alone’ unit, it is invaluable for use at un-staffed road tunnels. However, its numerous unique and optional extra features make it equally suitable for integration into comprehensive SCADA control systems.
The basic standard model receives continuous input of measurement signals from the connected Model TS-101 Luminance Photometer (or Model TS-150 Illuminance Photometer) to provide independent optically coupled output for up to 8-stages of switching control.
Options are available, for additional measurement channel parameters for signal input and output to choice of two, three or four connected photometers.
Recommended signal cable: Steel sheathed Beldon type 9501 (Typical resistance of 78 ohms/km).
Pre-setting of the parameters is user-friendly and easily changeable on site as required. Visual prompts are displayed for operator guidance throughout the programming sequence.
Alternatively the controller can be programmed using custom software operating in Microsoft Windows.
All operating parameters are stored in a non-volatile memory together with cumulative ‘lit’ hours for each individual section of luminaires.
Periodic hard copy print-out may be made of light level, control stage action and cumulative ‘lit’ times for each control stage.
A volt free alarm output indicates if measurement signals from the connected photometers are under/over range.

Options
|
(A) |
A
digital output version of the TS-101 Photometer is available for
signal output to this controller via a dedicated radio link where
hard signal cabling connection is either too difficult or expensive
to install. |
(B) |
Data
from the controller can be transmitted remotely (via a dedicated
radio link or GSM modem & Vodaphone service provider) to a distant
DAD (Data Access Device) e.g., Desktop/Laptop PC, etc. (dependent,
of course, on laws governing radio telemetry in local country of
use). |
