Page 4: Introduction
It includes all software, hardware and a cellular phone module. Setting up and interrogating an Illuminator is a simple matter of viewing pages with any standard web browser. An Illuminator can be accessed either locally via a direct cable connection or remotely via internet or by sending and receiving SMS messages. -
Page 5: Overview Of Floodlight Control
This is the most often used mode where the lights are controlled directly by users during allowed periods of time. The Illuminator recognises two different types of users: an administrator and a number of “normal users”. The administrator has complete control over all floodlights. He or she can turn on and turn off any light at any time, without time off delay. - Page 6 Automatic e-mail reports An Illuminator can be set up to send daily e-mail reports. At 3:00 AM, an e-mail will be sent to up to three recipients. Each e-mail has a spreadsheet file attachment containing data logged over the recent day(s).

100 ms. Event inputs are suitable for monitoring pulses that occur less frequently than once every 30 seconds. Each time an event occurs, the Illuminator logs the time its occurrence as well as the total number of events. The total will roll-over from 99,999 to 0. -
Page 8: Alarms (Advanced Use Only)
(Please see “Resetting Alarms” section for more details). If an alarm is reset but its trigger source is still in the active state, a new alarm sequence will NOT commence. Rather, the Illuminator will wait for the trigger source to first go inactive. Logger The Illuminator incorporates a high capacity solid-state data logger. -
Page 9: Web Server
Web Server A sophisticated web server is built into every Illuminator. It allows users to communicate with the Illuminator using the familiar “Internet surfing” approach.

ILLUMINATOR AUXILIARY CONNECTORS Local Area Network (LAN) connector is used for connections to a PC or to a LAN. AUX1 connector is not used in a standard Illuminator. It is reserved for future enhancements and special applications. The optional keypad plugs into AUX2 connector. -
Page 15: Numeric Keypad
An optional numeric keypad can be used to control floodlights. It is provided for users who do not have access to mobile phones. The keypad can be added at any time. The Illuminator will automatically recognise the keypad and start acting on its commands. -
Page 16: Setting Up An Illuminator For The First Time
A new Illuminator must be connected to a mobile telephone network by inserting a valid SIM card. Please refer to Appendix C for details. A new Illuminator is shipped from the factory with a default, generic setup. You will need to change this setup to customise the Illuminator for your application. -
Page 17: Change Location And Lighting Setup
'Turn off delay (minutes)' is useful for classic (non-LED) lights. If a user commands the Illuminator to turn the lights off, the command is accepted but the lights are kept on for the number of minutes entered here. This gives a chance to a new user to turn the lights back on without having to wait for the warm-up period. - Page 18 Only two out of eight Illuminator controls are needed in this example. Let’s assume that Illuminator Control 1 is driving the contactor that turns on the first half of the lights, and that Illuminator Control 2 is driving the contactor that turns on the second half of the lights.
