RME
Smart Wireless Lighting Node
Description
The RME-H3 wireless external node is an all-in-one complete and scalable lighting control system. It is suitable for both small and large networks (municipalities, car dealers, parks, commercial buildings, etc.) that use groups, zones, adaptive lighting, planning features and other advanced functionalities.
The RME is an electronic device that plugs into any light fixture equipped with a photocell receptacle. It is designed for LED fixtures, but is also compatible with other technologies, including HPS (High Pressure Sodium), MH (Metal Halide) and MV (Mercury Vapor).
- Remotely control the light intensity
- Monitor proper operation
Activating several RME on multiple street lights creates a wireless network that provides connectivity for other types of sensors and connected devices. The central Dimonoff | SCMS software system can then collect data and send commands to various connected devices via gateways.
Easy & Fast Installation
- Quick, simple and economical commissioning thanks to our mobile app compatible with Dimonoff | SCMS, which also allows instant functional tests and geolocation
- Operates with voltages between 110 and 480 Vac and 50/60 Hz
- ANSI C136.41 7-pin or Zhaga Book 18 receptacle and includes an internal photocell
- Supports for digital and analog sensors (e.g. motion detector, adaptive lighting or advanced lighting controls)
Communication options
- Digi XBee PRO 2.4 GHz (DigiMesh protocol)
- Digi XBee PRO 900 MHz (DigiMesh protocol)
- LTE-M
- Honeywell / Elster (Energy Axis EA900, SynergyNet)
- NBIoT and LoRaWAN
- Optional GPS Module
BENEFITS
The RME allows you to monitor your exact luminaires consumptions. It helps you track their issues in order to optimize your maintenance and save on energy invoices!
Pay for what you use
Pay the right amount. The RME-H3 precisely meters your energy consumption.
Optimize your time
Reduce time spent managing complaints and maintenance.
Detect outages
Detect problems and failures in your electric grid.
Feel safe
Rest assured as all communications are encrypted using military grade encryption protocols.
Auto calibration
Get high-value insights as the RME-H3 automatically validates its metering calibration.
Simplify commissioning
Facilitate your crews' job with our quick, simple and economical commissioning system.
Asset management
Once and for all, know precisely the exact number of light fixtures you have within your city and where they are.
Crews time management
Send the right team at the right place and at the right time with the right components.
Radio technology of your choice
Choose the radio technology your city needs: long range, mesh network, we have it.
MAIN CAPABILITIES
Our RME smart nodes mesure every electrical characteristics in the luminaires and detect when an anomaly has occurred or is about to occur so it can report and warn you. That way you’re always up to date and your maintenance is optimized as well as the life cycle of you luminaires.
That’s only one of its many capacities.
