Gymnasiums

Since January 2005 over 180 lighting control systems incorporating the PCS IPC (Industrial Powerline Communications) technology have been installed in Gymnasiums throughout the country in conjunction with Sportlite high-bay florescent fixtures. Sportlite sells different versions of PCS’s communication technology under the trade-name PulseBloc. In 2008 Sportlite was acquired by Philips Lighting.

Sportlite high-bay fixtures are particularly will suited for IPC control because each fixture has four separate ballasts, each controlling two CFL florescent bulbs. One of the ballasts can be a 0-10V dimming ballast to enable low level dimming. The PulseBloc TM module has four outputs for individual ballast control and an addition output for 0-10V dimming control.

The Sportlite PulseBloc TM module incorporating PCS’s communication technology can set the Sportlite high-bay fixture to any one of 8 different lighting levels from 100% down to 5%. Using manual or contact-closure inputs groups of Sportlite fixtures can be set to various preset scenes.

PCS’s next generation GreenWorx Technology is a significant improvement to the Generation II and Generation III IPC technology deployed by Sportlite over the last four years
