System Components

The wireless gateway communicates with Interact ready luminaires and devices within a wireless network using Zigbee. Adding a gateway to a wireless network enables additional functionality (described in the Key Features overview) by connecting the network to the cloud.

Luminaires with built-in sensors integrate sensing capabilities and wireless communication directly into the luminaire assembly. The mains powered SR (Sensor Ready) driver(s) in the luminaire power and communicate with the built-in sensor, which contains the Bluetooth and Zigbee antennas. Other than mains power to the luminaire, no additional wiring or external sensors are required.

Luminaires with built-in transceivers integrate wireless communication directly into the luminaire assembly. The mains powered SR (Sensor Ready) driver(s) in the luminaire power and communicate with the built-in transceiver, which contains the Bluetooth and Zigbee antennas. Other than mains power to the luminaire, no additional wiring is required. Transceivers do not have sensing capabilities, so they must be grouped with external sensors or with luminaires with built-in sensors for automatic behavior configurations.

Luminaires with wireless drivers integrate wireless communication directly into the luminaire. The mains powered wireless driver(s) in the luminaire contains the Bluetooth and Zigbee antenna. Other than mains power to the luminaire, no additional wiring is required. Wireless drivers do not have sensing capabilities, so they must be grouped with external sensors or with luminaires with built-in sensors for automatic behavior configurations.

Smart T-LEDs integrate wireless communication directly into the lamp. Each mains powered Smart T-LED lamp has the Bluetooth and Zigbee antenna built-in. Other than mains power to the fixture, no additional wiring is required. Smart T-LEDs do not have sensing capabilities, so they must be grouped with external sensors or with luminaires with built-in sensors for automatic behavior configurations.

DALI and 0-10V bridges enable wireless control for non-Interact ready luminaires with DALI or 0-10V drivers. The mains powered S (Sensor Ready) bridge powers and communicates with a sensor or transceiver, which contains the Bluetooth and Zigbee antennas. The bridge itself is equipped with a power switching relay and a signal output (DALI or 0-10V) to switch and dim the connected non-Interact ready luminaires. The same grouping concepts outlined for luminaires with built-in sensors vs transceivers apply.

The DALI Extender extends the SR bus to the DALI bus and enables multiple applications requiring connecting SR devices to DALI drivers or DALI emergency drivers. It provides supply to SR bus and DALI bus. This device enables longer cost-effective trunking lines with lower number of sensors, remote testing of emergency luminaires and connection to third-party tunable white drivers making the system inclusive. The DALI Extender can be installed independently or be built-in to luminaire.

Switch relays enable wireless control for non-Interact ready luminaires with 0-10V drivers as well as other on/off switching loads such as receptacles, signage, etc. The mains powered switch relay contains the Bluetooth and Zigbee antennas and is equipped with a power switching relay and a signal output (0-10V). Switch relays do not have sensing capabilities, so they must be grouped with external sensors or with luminaires with built-in sensors for automatic behavior configurations.

Wireless switches provide a user interface for on/off control, dimming, color temperature adjustment and scene selection.

External battery powered ZGP sensors are used to control luminaires with wireless transceivers and/or wireless drivers. Battery powered occupancy sensors can also be grouped with luminaires with built-in sensors to extend motion coverage within a group.
