Jooby Luminaire Controller for NEMA 7-pin Socket

Jooby Luminaire Controller for NEMA is a controller for third-party luminaires equipped with a 7-pin NEMA connector. The device adjusts the brightness of luminaires based on the astronomical calendar or in reaction to the signal from remote motion sensors. Also, it gathers information about the luminaire’s operation and sends it to Jooby CMS for visualization and archiving.

General information

• Compatible with luminaires of any vendor and model equipped with a NEMA 7-pin socket and a dimmable driver
• Enables luminaire brightness via 0–10 V, 1–10 V, PWM or DALI interface
• Supports communication over LoRaWAN® networks
• Autonomously adjusts light intensity throughout the year based on the astronomical calendar.
• Compatible with ambient light sensors
• Automatically adjusts the brightness of the light upon the signal from a built-in or external motion sensor
• Can be equipped with a GPS receiver for automatic geolocation
• Gathers and transmits luminaire operation data. The information is sent for processing and visualization to Jooby CMS, which notifies the operator should the need arise.

Luminaire brightness control

Jooby Luminaire Controller for NEMA adjusts the brightness of luminaires from 10–100% in increments of 1%.

Automatic dimming interface detection.

Data collection and luminaire monitoring

The controller collects information about the luminaire’s operation, and transfers the following data to the system operator:

• Voltage
• Power supply current
• Current power consumption
• Power factor
• Total power consumed
• Total uptime
• Controller board temperature
• Ambient light level

Astro power-on, power-off, and dimming

The device autonomously adjusts luminaire brightness throughout the year based on the astronomical calendar. To this end, it has the following functionality:

• Real-time clock with time data retention in the unpowered state
• Geolocation-based automatic dusk and dawn time calculation for every day of the year
• Annual operation programme: the algorithm can function even when disconnected from a LoRaWAN® network
• TALQ compatibility
• Four daily operation programmes selected depending on the predefined rules, date, weekday, workdays, and weekends
• Power-on and power-off at a pre-set time as well as based on the astronomical calendar and ambient light sensor
• Up to 8 brightness adjustment points in the daily programme

LoRa wireless technology, LoRaWAN® network technology

JLCN-LRWF-PC-GPS

Jooby Luminaire Controller for NEMA supports communication over LoRaWANLoRaWAN® wireless networks, which have the following benefits:

• Licence-free frequency bands
• Long range
• Secure connection with two levels of encryption
• Low power consumption

LoRaWAN® specifications

ShortLink technology

Avenue Smart Cover supports ShortLink technology to connect luminaires to one another. ShortLink enables dynamic lighting—when a motion sensor is triggered on one luminaire, the brightness on the nearby ones is raised, too. The system thus creates a ‘light wave’ in front of the moving pedestrian or car. ShortLink technology reduces the devices’ response delay to 0.01 s.
