provided for the project controlling all event floodlighting. A Touch Screen should be
supplied to provide complete flexibility for both Event and Non Event conditions.
B. The lighting system shall be designed in accordance with the requirements and
recommendations of the following codes and standards:-

• Local design codes & standards

• Guide to safety at sports ground
• International Guide to artificial lighting of football pitches
• Safety and Security in Stadium for Competition matches

C. The system shall comprise Lighting Control Modules & Network Gateways. The
system shall use advanced windows based graphical programming to enable the
lighting operation to be centrally programmed and adapted.

D. The system shall be capable of creating virtual wiring links of circuits for control
through software and scenes or switching patterns that may be instantly altered from
the Touch Screen without the need to access equipment or carry out disruptive wiring
alterations.

E. The control system shall be of Distributed Control System type, with local control
panels communicating directly with Load Controllers, without requiring the intervention
of a central processing unit. Control Systems that require central processing
unit/Routers will not be considered.

F. The system shall utilize a PC running intuitive and user-friendly software for the
remote programming of all devices on the network. It shall be possible to connect the
PC to any point on the network, for access to the entire system. The performance of
the system shall not be affected when the PC is disconnected. The ability to
interrogate the system and save the uploaded configuration information to disk shall
be included. The ability to log a ll network messages to a file for later analysis whi le
r - the PC is connected to the LAN shall be included. The system shall be able to assign
- - .-::----;·- - e ssential and non-essential lighting on a circuit-by-circuit basis from the PC. It shall be
I ' '·
possible to monitor and control the entire system in real time.

I
I r
G. All devices must be capable of operating on a single network using the same protocol.
,Systems that do not allow all products from the same manufacturer to be connect
ttogether for global control, or are designed to different specifications for each 'series'
/of products shall not be accepted. All devices shall be supplied with default settings to
enable the System to operate in a basic way immediately upon installation.
<14
H. All configuration information downloaded from the configuration PC to devices on the
L LAN shall be stored in the relevant device, contained within non-volatile EEPROM or
- -·-----·---i FLASH memory. This data shall remain secure for an indefinite period, upon loss of
supply. Devices that utilize battery or "supercap" backed up RAM wi ll not be
considered. When supply is restored , the System shall automatically return to the
same state as when supply was lost, without requiring any user intervention.

I. All controllers proposed for the project should have mbu1lt power supply Externa~ :Q~
power supply modules to power the controllers will not be accepted since ~o~e([ct.Y)\ [.-

failure of a single device will affect many devices and will affect the different scenes I
lighting scenarios programmed during events.

J. To ensure network traffic is minimized, the system shall be capable of recalling a

present scene or state involving all controller channels bound to the same logical area
from a single network message associated with that area. It shall be possible to view
controller output channels in logical groups within the system configuration software,
so that preset scenes and states can be easily configured for each logical area.

1.2 CONTROL CONCEPT

1) Indoor lighting control

Lighting Control Panel with presence sensor shall be provided to provide lighting control of the
VIP reception building. The system shall be capable to provide multiple scene settings and
shall have local digital control switch to control and change the scenes. The digital control
shall be touch screen based.

a) The operator shall be able to select an event scene from the modes of lighting
presented on the touch screen. When selected, the control system will
automatically select the luminaries programmed to operate for the particular
mode of lighting.

b) The levels of preset will be as per the lighting design and the system of control
will be user friendly so as to allow on the spot reconfiguration of any of the
luminaries to suit operators requirements.

c) The system shall provide the facility to control individual luminary as per user
requirement without altering the preset scenes.

d) The system shall be programmed to operate on the sensor based operation

and scene control and shall not allow unauthorized modification to security
lighting scenes control.

2) Field lighting control

Floodlighting Control

a) The pitch floodlights will be controlled independently.

\__ ...--- __________ \ b)

___,
Lighting that are to be controlled by LCP as referred in the DB schedules are
controlled through the Contactors. These contactors shall be controlled
using addressable relay modules to be fixed in the DB.

c) Addressable re lay modules and touch screens shall be connected via a

RS485 bus system.

d) The central control or the Touch Screen for controlling the list of events shall
be installed in the centrally located control room.

e) The non-technical operator will be able to select an event scene from the
modes of lighting presented on the touch screen i.e. match mode. When
selected the control system will automatically select the luminaries
programmed to operate for the particular mode of lighting.

f) The level of presets will be as per the lighting design and the system of control
will be user friendly so as to allow on the spot re-configuration of any of the
floodlight luminaries to suit operators requirements.

g) The control system must be suitable for the non-technical operator to

reprogram at the control station without the need for Manufacturer's
assistance.

h) The most significant load will be the selection of all pitch floodlights for a
match. When this scene is selected the initial number of floodlights initiated
will be limited by numbers to a starting load of 10% (to be confirmed) above
the total running current for all floodlights. This staggered load switching
arrangement will optimize diversity factor for switchgear and cabling .

i) To minimize the potential of unbalanced load and possible harmonic issues,

suitably agreed groups of floodlights will be operated at any one switching
sequence.

j) Failure of the lighting control system communications bus should switch all
lighting units controlled by that part of the system ON. Within the lighting
control panel for the pitch I Stand lighting the Contractor will allow for manual
override for all Pitch and Stand lighting circuits for use should the lighting
control system fail.
