How do I add crosswalk lighting fixtures to my MX system?
This article provides an overview for adding crosswalk lighting (CXL) to R920-MX series solar and AC-powered crosswalk systems.
Product applicability
This article applies to the following products:
- MX Series: R920-MX
Overview:
Crosswalk lighting fixtures can be added to any R920-MX system.
R920-MX systems have a built-in 12VDC, 5A relay which can power either a single DC CXL fixture, or in the case of AC-powered systems, the relay output can be used to activate an AC relay for powering one or two AC CXL fixtures - on AC-powered systems.
Summary:
- One DC CXL fixture for solar-powered systems
- One or two AC CXL fixtures for AC-powered systems (via the MX 400 AC relay add-on kit)
Operation:
CXL fixtures can be programmed to illuminate during the night only, or day/night illumination.
Relay output day/night operation along with relay extension time settings are accessed via the MX Field app.
Day/night determination is set via the system's GPS location - photocells are not required.
Note:
CXL fixtures are illuminated with each pedestrian activation and depending on the day/night settings. CXL fixtures can not be set for dusk-to-dawn operation.
Important considerations:
For solar applications, ensure that the overall system load, including usage model, can be sustained by the system year round.
Please contact Carmanah for guidance on system sizing and project feasibility according to geographical location, local site conditions, and usage model.
CXL Fixtures:
Overview:
Both AC and DC CXL fixtures contain an internal LED driver circuit (no additional driver required)
- DC CXL fixtures are intended for use with a constant-voltage, 12VDC source
- AC CXL fixtures can be connected directly to a 120VAC source
