MH Controls Corner:
Device Placement with Wireless Systems

Each month, a member of our Lighting Controls Department  offers insight and advice about lighting controls. This month's article is brought to us by Mike Bogomolov, our Controls Engineering Supervisor.

Wireless systems have made it possible to get rid of one of a lighting control system’s pain points…wiring! Devices such as room controllers, occupancy sensors, photocells, and switches, are now completely wire free. With Wattstopper’s wireless DLM product line, the only device that needs any wire is the room controller that is switching and dimming the lighting load. The room controllers wirelessly communicate to one another, or directly back to a central router. This wireless network provides device status, energy metering, and time schedules. So, this being the case, are we now safe and unrestricted in placing devices wherever we deem most convenient? Almost, but there are a few variables that must be taken into consideration to ensure that a wireless system is able to send and receive all of those important messages between its devices.
