PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to serve as a design playbook to guide all parties involved in a lighting and lighting controls
project on any Tarrant County College District (TCCD) property when Acuity nLIGHT enabled LED fixtures, nLIGHT control
system, ROAM enabled outdoor fixtures and ROAM control systems are involved. The playbook is being designed to bring
continuity and consistency to lighting fixture and control selection, as well as the process for how they are: specified,
designed, bid, submitted on, released, installed, commissioned, and supported. Once a project requiring LED lighting
and\or nLIGHT lighting controls has been identified by TCCD personnel, the playbook should be used as a guide by TCCD
and any third party subsequently brought into involvement on the project to make sure the TCCD designed standards are
followed and that the proper parties such as Horton Controls Group (HCG) or Architectural Lighting Alliance (ALA) are
notified.
This playbook will be a living document. It will be revised and amended as needed to keep pace with the changing
demands of the projects and personnel. Per this revision all projects will be designed under the guidelines of IECC 2015.
VERY IMPORTANT:
The first step in any project being initiated is to check the TCCD nLIGHT and ROAM databases via the TCCD designate to
verify if a building has been upgraded at any level with nLIGHT\ROAM fixtures or controls equipment to prevent redundant
purchasing or application of product.
If the building has a previously installed nLIGHT\ROAM gateway, verify the device count to estimate if additional
nLIGHT\ROAM fixtures and controls can be supported or if an additional gateway will be required.

nLIGHT SYSTEM OVERVIEW
nLIGHT connects together intelligent digital devices, including occupancy sensors, photocells,
power/relay packs, wall switches, dimmers, panels, and now even luminaires. Combined, this creates
a system with “distributed intelligence” that can be configured in limitless ways to meet lighting needs
and codes.
nLIGHT offers “distributed intelligence,” meaning that every single device in every zone or network is
digitally addressable. However, unlike other digital lighting control systems, every nLIGHT device is
empowered to make its own switching and dimming decisions. So, instead of just room controllers,
network servers, or centralized panels having intelligence, every nLIGHT device with a relay or dimming
component has the intelligence to make its own control decisions. This enables designs where relays
and dimming outputs can be located within sensors, photocells, and wall stations – not just in relay-
only devices, such as room controllers or panels. This unmatched design flexibility allows for more
elegant and cost-effective designs that minimize device count and wiring.
BACKBONE DEVICES

ROAM System Overview
ROAM is a wireless control platform using screw in photocells with wireless communication cards
communicating via a wireless mesh network to a ROAM Gateway. The ROAM gateway collects data
and transmits commands from the ROAM Graphic Software. The software is a web based portal
allowing control, programming, and monitoring of all outdoor ROAM enabled fixtures. ROAM ensures
that your area lights are working and enhancing area safety. ROAM reduces area lighting energy
consumption and significantly reduces your carbon footprint. ROAM eliminates visual patrolling and
repeat maintenance trips for your crews, resulting in improved efficiencies and reduced operating costs.
ROAM enables immediate response to area lighting failures, virtually eliminating citizen and customer
complaints.

LIGHTING DESIGN AND FIXTURE LAYOUTS \ SPECIFICATION
Most projects undertaken by TCCD will involve both lighting fixture upgrades as well as lighting control upgrades. In the
event that fixture upgrades are not required, this step in the process will be omitted. However, in most cases the selection
and layout of the new lighting fixtures (for remodel projects) will be considered the first step followed in the playbook.
Projects requiring 2x4 layin fixtures will be using the TCCD standard selection, the Lithonia Lighting BLT nLIGHT enabled
troffer 2BLT4 A 48L ADSMT EZ1 LP840 N100. If other fixtures are required by the projects lighting needs, nLIGHT enabled
products should be used if possible for their ease of integration into the nLIGHT lighting control system. If non-Acuity
products are to be used they must be coordinated with ALA for integration into the nLIGHT lighting control system via
nLIGHT dimming and switching power packs.
Once the fixture selections and layout are completed by either the design build contractor or MEP engineer for the project,
the lighting controls need to be integrated into the design. ALA will handle the application of the nLIGHT lighting controls
following the design criteria described in the playbook based on the type of room and its application. The design build
contractor \ MEP engineer may also integrate the nLIGHT controls via the direction of the playbook if desired for
publication of the bid documents.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING FIXTURE SPECIFICATION
Lighting Schedule Notes:
1. "-ALT" fixtures describe legacy LED fixtures from the first generation of TCCD LED
retrofits and new construction. These fixtures are typically less efficient, more expensive
and have longer lead times than the non"-ALT" fixtures and should only be used after
close coordination with TCCD when there is overlap. All existing LED fixtures removed
should be turned over to TCCD for re-use.TCCD
2. EZ1 denotes standard driver going down to 1% dimming (need not be dimmed). N100
denotes nLight control without lumen management. N100EMG denotes nLight control
without lumen management for use as an emergency fixture. This option should only be
specified if an Emergency power source (generator or AC inverter) is available and nLight
controls are used to control the fixture. Only an Emergency circuit (no normal circuit is
required) is routed to this fixture. The nLight controls (gateways, bridges, wall switches,
etc) must use normal power, because the CAT 5 cable routed to the fixture is used to
sense that normal (utility) voltage is not available.
13
EXTERIOR LIGHTING FIXTURE SELECTION \ LAYOUT
Projects requiring area lighting, wall pack lighting, and\or pathway lighting should use Acuity brands RSX Series Area
Lighter or DSXW2 Wall Pack products that are capable of being controlled via the ROAM lighting control system from
Acuity. This requires that the fixture have a photocell receptacle, or when needed, the ROAM photocell
bracket\receptacle mounted to the fixture pole support or building. If dimming is required, the fixture needs to have the
PER5 option. If non-Acuity fixtures are to be used they must be coordinated with HCG\ALA for ROAM control.

Typically only one ROAM Gateway will be required per campus but depending on the layout of campus buildings additional
ROAM Gateway devises may be needed per campus.
Sequence of Operation (can be modified many different ways)
ROAM nodes will turn on their individual lighting fixtures based on their internal photocells as dusk approaches.
At a preselected time, ROAM controlled fixtures can reduce their light output (if LED and equipped for dimming) or turn
off to create a lighting effect for after hours or low use times of the night.
At a preselected time, ROAM controlled fixtures can increase their light levels (if LED and equipped for dimming) or turn
on to create a lighting effect for normal hours or higher use times of the night.
ROAM nodes not already turned off by the ROAM software via schedules will be turned off based on their internal
photocell as dawn approaches.
Fixture to be used is the RSX2 with ROAM enabled dimming and photocell receptacle as well as surge suppression and
double fuse option.
Example (verify with TLA as needed for particular project)

In all applications above, ROAM View software allows monitoring and override of zones and specific fixtures in zones if
needed. ROAM Enterprise also allows the remote manipulation and adjustment of any setting on any device. All projects
using ROAM lighting controls will be programmed and coordinated through the ROAM Enterprise software installed on
the TCCD campus server.
PROCESS FOR BIDDING PROJECTS
If the project is to be issued for biding purposes, the design documents including the layout drawings with lighting fixtures
and lighting controls need to be issued to the appropriate parties. These documents should reflect the design criteria and
processes for project completion described in this playbook. They should include a fixture schedule that has the correct
nomenclature indicating fixtures that have embedded nLIGHT and\or ROAM technology. The fixture designations in the
fixture schedule must match the fixture designations on the drawings next to the fixture.
If the project is not being issues for general bid purpose, the same processes as above should be followed in terms of the
information that is to be generated and shared between the design contingent and TCCD directly.
PROCESS FOR RELEASING A PROJECT TO MANUFACTURING
In order for a project to be released to manufacturing for production and shipment of the lighting fixtures and lighting
controls products, a set of submittal drawings should be signed approved by TCCD personnel. These submittal drawings
will be requested by TCCD after the awarding of the project following the bid process, if applicable, or from the design
build contractor at the appropriate time.
The submittal drawings should be prepared by HCG. They will consist of a cover page with correct project title, bill of
material for the controls product to be used, floor plan layout of project showing all fixtures and controls with circuiting,
any special details or diagrams, specification sheets on all products, and nLIGHT or ROAM installation \ commissioning
paper work.
28
It is recommended that TCCD, HCG, and the design build contractor or MEP Engineer review the submittals on site in a
project meeting before TCCD approves the drawings and releases the project for construction.
PROCESS FOR INSTALLING LIGHTING CONTROL SYSTEMS
At the appropriate time, after demolition on remodel projects or before conduit and electrical boxes are set on new
construction, the electrical contractor, HCG, and TCCD personnel are required to meet on site to review the approved
lighting and lighting controls submittals and verify that nothing has changed due to site conditions or project
requirements.
During this meeting, HCG personnel will go over the installation and required documentation for the nLIGHT and ROAM
systems with the electrical contractor. Special attention will be paid to the paper work required by nLIGHT and ROAM in
order for the electrical contractor to schedule the factory technicians for the commissioning of the systems. A timeline
will be established to help ensure that all the project requirements are archived.
PROCESS FOR COMMISSIONING OF LIGHTING CONTROL SYSTEMS
Per the on-site installation meeting held earlier in the project’s timeline, the appropriate paper work needs to be
completed and sent to Chris Sears at HCG. Chris will coordinate with HCG field service and have the their technician
contact the electrical contractor for scheduling of the commissioning process for the nLIGHT controls. Chris will coordinate
with HCG and have the ROAM technician contact the electrical contractor for scheduling of the commissioning process.
The electrical contractor must coordinate the dates requested to HCG for this commissioning process with the correct
TCCD personnel so that TCCD can be prepared and represented for the owner training portion of the commissioning
process. TCCD personnel from the project must be present during the owner training to ensure that the system is set up
correctly per the approved submittals and to ensure that TCCD staff understand the systems operation. This will help to
ensure that the TCCD staff occupying the facility understand the system they will use on a daily basis and that their
expectations of the system are in line with its proposed and approved capabilities.
HCG technicians are to upgrade as needed nLIGHT components connected to any system that is being commissioned and
to coordinate this with TCCD personnel if required to upgrade similar products on other previously installed projects.
Per the playbook, the components of the nLIGHT and ROAM system will be programmed and labeled by the HCG\factory
technicians to maintain the standard as set by TCCD. All loading information for nLIGHT relays and dimmers to be entered
into nLIGHT database per project.
PROCESS FOR DOCUMENTATION OF THE PROJECT
Post the successful commissioning of the project, the master list of facilities for TCCD will be verified to be updated
confirming which campuses, buildings, and rooms (parking areas) have been renovated \ constructed with nLIGHT and
ROAM. This will help to ensure seamless integration of future renovation projects with existing renovation project, to
help in keeping cost down by preventing duplication of controls equipment, and to help TCCD in planning for the future.
The final version of the installation drawings are to be filed by TCCD on the correct server under a folder representing the
documentation for that particular project. Any other post pertinent documentation should be stored here for future
reference.
29
PROCESS FOR POST COMMISSIONING WARRANTY OR TECHNICAL SUPPORT
When an issue is detected on a project, TCCD facilities should contact the installing electrical contractor directly if still
under warranty. If out of the electrical contractor’s warranty, then TCCD should contact the manufacture directly via the
800 number for that manufacture. If TCCD has a questions about the issue or the correct manufacture to call, they should
call Chris Sears at HCG for coordination assistance.
