Level 3 - Building and Area Level

Valopaa master units are deployed when a building or general area contains many luminaires and intelligent networks with sensors. The master unit enables further lighting control through the clock, the sun, calendar and remote control via the Internet. The master unit controls the local lighting independently on Level 3, all changes are implemented with a web browser, either by WLAN or Ethernet.

Level 3 - Building and Area Level

  • The VPS master unit provides centrally administered lighting control of areas: the master unit governs individual luminaires and sensors within a building or an area and networks of these.
  • The network levels at level 2 still work independently, i.e. sensors control the luminaires in each network.
  • The master unit enables lighting control of luminaires and networks according to the clock, the calendar, sunlight times, and also by manual controls, which can also take the information from the sensors into account.
  • Daily and weekly profiles and exception days are created into the master unit with a browser using a WLAN or Ethernet connection.
  • The master unit can be connected to the Internet thorough Ethernet or GPRS/3G connections.
The master unit is capable of controlling hundreds of luminaires and sensors. The operational range is several hundreds of metres. A luminaire and a sensor may belong to several networks
