Lighting System Configuration Overview

A SimplySNAP lighting solution
consists of a Synapse SS420 site
controller and some number of
lights equipped with Synapse light
controllers and sensors.
The SS420 site controller
serves as the hub of control and
communications for managing the
lights that make up the lighting
solution.

Hardware Installation

The first step in installing a SimplySNAP lighting solution is to connect the physical hardware of
the system, followed by configuration of the system within the SimplySNAP user interface. These
instructions assume that you have already installed Synapse Lighting Controllers for the lights that will
make up your SimplySNAP lighting solution and you are now ready to connect the site controller.
For more detailed instructions, including usage and configuration information, please
download the SimplySNAP User Guide from www.synapse-wireless.com/SImplySNAP.
