Abstract
A lighting administration device of the present invention has a main controller which converts a dimming signal from a remote controller into coded signals that are used to control a plurality of decoders. The decoders may be connected to the main controller in series, using a data line. A plurality of ballasts are connected to respective decoders in series. The decoders are each assigned an address, and each coded signal generated by the main controller bears the address of a corresponding decoder. The main controller may also have a timer function that causes the power to be shut off are a predetermined period of time elapses.
Claims18
An administration device for lighting fixtures, comprising:
- a main controller which converts a dimming signal into coded signals that are used to control a plurality of decoders;
- a plurality of decoders connected to said main controller such that the decoders can receive and interpret the coded signals;
- and
- a plurality of ballasts connected to each decoder, wherein each of the plurality of decoders is assigned a unique address, and wherein each of the coded signals generated by the main controller includes an address of a corresponding decoder.
A system for controlling a plurality of lighting devices, comprising:
- a controller configured to generate coded dimming signals, wherein each coded dimming signal includes dimming information and an address of a decoder;
- and
- a plurality of decoders configured to receive and interpret the coded dimming signals generated by the controller, wherein each of the plurality of decoders is assigned a unique address, and wherein each decoder is connected to at least one ballast configured to control a lighting device.
