TOPBAND TPTSTSL Series Smart Commercial Light User Manual
Networking of Luminaires and Devices
-
Can individual luminaires and control devices exchange digital data with other luminaires and control devices on the system, at the room or space level?
T-Smart Light utilizes Bluetooth SIG Mesh standard. A mesh network has a many- to-many topology, with each device able to communicate with every other device in the mesh. Communication is achieved using messages, and devices are able to relay messages to other devices so that the end-to-end communication range is extended far beyond the radio range of each individual node. Please refer to “Smart Module-TPTSTSL Series Spec.” for more detailed instructions. -
What are the size limitations of the data communication system, in terms of number of edge devices recommended for optimal performance?
Design Consideration | Best Practice | Maximum |
---|---|---|
Number of wireless devices per network | 250 | |
Number of wireless devices supported per Gateway | 250 | |
Number of wireless device per cloud system with Gateway | 20000000 | |
Distance between wireless nodes, typical interior obstruction | – | 33ft |
-
What is the maximum recommended distance between components?
T-Smart Light communicates up to 33ft through one interior walls for device to device communication. -

Once the gateway is enabled, the luminaires can be controlled using Wi
Fi/Ethernet from any place.

dimming, occupancy detection and daylight harvesting capabilities. -
What is the default time delay setting in minutes?
Default settings:
Occupancy Control | Enabled |
---|---|
Hold time (1st Time Delay | 20 minutes |
Prolong time (2nd Time Delay) | 20 minutes |
Dim Level | 50% |
Daylight Control | Enabled |
Daylight Level | \ |
-
Is time delay field adjustable?
If yes, include a reference describing how Refer to “T-smart Light App User Manual” P38,39 -
Is a damp-condition occupancy sensor(s) available?
No -
Does the system have the ability to set a dim level rather than off when unoccupied?
(e.g. can the lights be set to 30% dim level rather than off when no occupancy is detected?) If yes, include a reference describing how Refer to “T-smart Light App User Manual” P38, 39 -
If yes, is this unoccupied dim level adjustable?
If yes, include a reference describing how Refer to “T-smart Light App User Manual” P38, 39

-
Does the system have Daylight Harvesting / Photocell Control capability, with instructions for how to configure and/or use this feature?
Refer to “T-smart Light App User Manual” P38, 39 -
Does the system have the capability to report photosensor settings (adjustable input parameters) in a user interface?
Refer to “T-smart Light App User Manual” P38, 39 -
Is a damp-condition photosensor(s) available?
No
High-End Trim
-
Does the system have field-reconfigurable high-end trim capability, with instructions for how to configure and/or use this feature?
Individual luminaire setting
Group setting
-
How low as a % of maximum can high-end trim be adjusted?
Using the slider, you can pick any value from 50% to 100% (The default is 100%).
Zoning
- Does the system have Zoning capability as defined, with instructions for how to configure and/or use this feature?
Refer to “T-smart Light App User Manual” p33, 34.
Individual Addressability
-
Does the system have Luminaire and Device Addressability capability?
The T-smart Light utilizes Bluetooth SIG Mesh standard. Bluetooth mesh defines a unicast address that can uniquely identifies a single element. Unicast addresses are assigned to devices during the provisioning process. This address can also be modified while in use. All short address in the Bluetooth network is set over Bluetooth radio instead of electrical circuiting. -
