Tlacs U Solution – Nyx-Hemera

NEW

Nyx Hemera Technologies now offers the TLACS-U+, a solution that integrates the entire electrical system that powers the lighting system of an underpass or tunnel during its installation or its upgrade.

Upgrading the lighting in an underpass or short tunnel may require upgrading the electrical infrastructure. Nyx Hemera Technologies offers an integrated solution that simplifies the process of adding or upgrading tunnel lighting systems, ensuring the compatibility and performance of powerline lighting control solutions.

In addition to integrating the electrical installation for the lighting system and its control, TLACS-U+ can incorporate other Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) equipment, such as video surveillance (CCTV), lane usage signs, and flashing lights.

This solution provides a one-stop-shop for seamless integration and operation of your underpass/short tunnel lighting system operation. TLACS-U+ is designed to optimize installation and operational efficiency, improve safety and reduce energy consumption.

Nyx is your one-stop shop for seamlessly integrating and operating lighting systems in underpasses and short tunnels.

The TLACS-U is a turnkey lighting solution that controls and monitors luminaires. It uses smart control systems to manage light levels, monitor performance, and enhance safety in underpasses and short tunnels.

Its Installation can be carried out by any electrical contractor. It is a plug-and-play solution in which no software configuration is required.

A luminance meter (LCAM) or standardphotocell measures the luminance at theunderpass portal and sends the data to the UDE. The UDE then adjusts the brightness of the luminaires to maximize visibility for drivers entering the underpass. Sensors can connect to the main controller (UDE) via power line, RS-485 or Ethernet/FO (fiber optic) options.

Measures the level of illuminance within the tunnel bore to ensure the illumination levels are maintained between cleanings. This new power line unit is now available for an easy and reduced wiring and easy installation.

The Underpass Dimming Enclosure (UDE) is the main controller that communicates with each luminaire individually via 0–10 V power line communication or DALI.

Each luminaire is equipped with a local controller (LPC) that communicates with the UDE via power line communication, eliminating the need for dedicated control wiring
