nLiGHT ECLYPSE System Controller User Manual
OVERVIEW
The nLight ECLYPSE™ system controller connects an nLight® lighting network to support connectivityand management over an IP network, control and device setting adjustment, integration with building management, integration with demand response, and more.
FEATURES
- Communicates over IP, allowing the system controller and connected lighting controls devices to be accessed and configured across a local area network
- Each system controller supports up to 750 nLight and nLight AIR devices. Additional controllers can connect and scale a system of lighting controls to a maximum of 20,000 devices
- BACnet Testing Laboratories (BTL) listed as a BACnet Building Controller (B-BC)
- Can be discovered and managed through free SensorView software and through an onboard web GUI
- Provides time-of-day and astronomical time clock capabilities for scheduled lighting control events
- Manages forwarding of global control channels and system profiles to affect devices on multiple controllers at the same time
- Enhanced security through toggleable HTTP or HTTPS connections, a FIPS 140-2, Level 1 compliant security interface, SSO or Radius Server capabilities, and more
- Optional demand response client allows activation of configurable load shed dimming levels by utility DRAS through OpenADR 2.0a

nECYREPL INTF: nLight Interface module (introduces 750 device limit if
added to an ECLYPSE with AIR option)
Notes
- Requires BACnet option.
- Cloud-toggleable relay is prewired and intended to powercycle the nLight ECLYPSE remotely.
- If 347 voltage option is selected, includes PS150 347.
- AIR option supports 150 devices. RJ45 ports for connecting nLight wired devices are not available with the AIR option. GFXK option is not available with AIR option.
- 347 option is required for cellular connectivity in Canada. MVOLT versions will support connectivity in\ the United States and Mexico only. Active connectivity plan required for cellular connectivity. All routers ship with 12-months Ethernet connectivity enabled. See CLAIRITY Link router specification sheet for more information.
- Cellular connectivity performance may be affected by carrier coverage and antenna placement. Coverage by supported carriers should be verified prior to purchase.
- See the Specifications section for a list of all supported carriers per country.
- Use of default SIM included with hardware is required for REMCONN CELL connectivity plan. REMCONN ETH does not require use of a cellular SIM but is required for connectivity with the portal using a non-standard, third-party SIM, provided by, paid for, and maintained by others. Compatibility with non-default, third party SIMs is not guaranteed or warranted.
CONNECTIVITY PLANS
Remote support via the CLAIRITY Link solution is enabled through a connectivity plan (REMCONN). Purchase of a CLAIRITY Link router includes an initial 12-month Ethernet connectivity plan that begins upon shipment of hardware from the factory. For extended periods of connectivity, or for cellular connectivity, supplementary plans can be purchased. Flexible plans are offered in 3-month to 24-month durations and can be purchased at any time.
FEATURES
- Flexible connectivity periods offer affordable, connected assistance from nLight technical experts
- With no hidden fees and no continuous costs, CLAIRITY Link connectivity is an on-demand service that can be purchased at any time
- On-premise systems continue to operate when a connectivity plan is inactive
- Optional service plans affordably supplement the ability to remotely connect, adding comprehensive programming, sustainment, and preventative maintenance options
