Abstract
One or more example diagnostics may be implemented as part of an intelligent luminaire manager or other radio frequency (RF) device that is in communication with an equipment or fixture such as a luminaire. Example diagnostics can determine a status such as a fixture malfunction, a cycling condition, a miswiring configuration, or another condition. The determined status can be wirelessly transmitted from the intelligent luminaire manager or other radio frequency device to a network server via a network. The network may be a network of intelligent luminaire managers and/or RF devices.
Claims7
An intelligent luminaire manager, comprising:
- a first voltage sensor for measuring a line voltage received by the intelligent luminaire manager;
- a second voltage sensor for measuring a load voltage associated with a luminaire;
- a controller configured to receive voltage information corresponding to voltages measured by the first and second voltage sensors;
- a luminaire diagnostic program stored in a memory of the controller, wherein the luminaire diagnostic program is operative to:
- compare the line voltage to the load voltage;
- and
- determine a miswiring configuration associated with one or both of the intelligent luminaire manager and the luminaire based on the comparison of the line voltage to the load voltage.
