Monitoring
The Telensa PLANet system provides comprehensive monitoring and measuring for each lamp in a population. With these capabilities the main benefits are:- understand lamp failures immediately
- reduce night maintenance inspections
- eliminate day burners
- improve public service
- reduce repair times
- extend range of information available e.g. to include mains supply performance
Comprehensive measurement
The system is extremely comprehensive in terms of the range of parameters that can be measured and also the ways in which monitoring information is returned to the user. Each telecell contains a metering chip that provides accurate measurement of energy consumption.
Measurable parameters
A wide range of parameters of the lamp/ballast can be measured and reported, including:
A wide range of parameters of the lamp/ballast can be measured and reported, including:
| Lamp condition | Electrical | Energy | Time | Mains supply |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| lamp switch times | voltage | active power | switching times | number failures |
| lamp failure | current | cumulative energy | cumulative burning | low voltage |
| lamp cycling | power factor | |||
| lamp day-burning |
Flexible reporting
There are three ways in which measurable parameters can be reported:
Programmed monitoring
Each telecell can be programmed to take measurements at given times of day, and on different days of the week.
Polling
From the user interface, any set of telecells can be interrogated for any measurable parameter at any time.
Alarms
Telecells can be set to generate alarms when various threshold conditions are met e.g. on lamp failure
