For more than a decade Wide-Lite has been helping business and industry save 20 te 50 percent on lighting eneray costs Wide-Lite was the pioneer in develop- ‘ment of dimming contro for high inten sity discharge (HID) lamps (mercury, ‘metal halide and high pressure sodium) 8 a method of energy management Today Wide-Lite's ZonoMate system is slale-of-he-art in integrated lighting systems which successtully combine lighting control with energy savings. In industrial applications, good lighting management provides ‘appropriate ight levels for multiple ‘ones of workspace and reduces light levots during breaks or shift changes. When skylights are used, ZoneMate feduces fixture output during the time sunlight is contributing tothe light fev, yel maintains uniform levels throughout the day. In commercial applications, ZoneMate uniquely matches light levels to tasks perloimed, and keeps this level Constant. Design practices dictate that ‘ote than enough light be provided inilaly to compensate for gradual dit ‘accumulation and lamp depreciation. With ZoneMate, the desired light level can be selected and maintained throughout the lamps! lite. ‘Today, entertainment arenas host a vanely of actviles, ranging from highly iluminated professional sports 10 practice sessions and theatrical activiies. ZoneMate systems offer Cental flexibility for appropriate ight levels for every use wihout light and energy waste. nay lighting application, ZoneMate ‘can meet the unique lighting require- mens for multiple tasks or activiies to be performs, ZoneMate uses advanced technology to save energy three ways: 4) ZoneMate fits the light to the task. ‘You provide only the light needed for ‘each job. There is no wasted energy as lighting is precisely matched to the task through dimming. Lighting can be varied from zone to zone to meet ‘changing requirements on a day-to- day or long range bass. 2) ZonoMate allows for natural ight ‘contribution. With dayiight available ‘om skylights, windows and doors, ‘each zone is monitored constantly by ‘an AEC (Automatic Eneray Control) pholosensor. Changes in daylight are ‘compensated for immediately and constantly 3) ZoneMate compensates for ight loss. As lamps age and dust ‘accumulates on lamps and fixtures, the AEC photosensor automatically adjusts to keep a constant light level HOW ZONEMATE WORKS Branch Circuit ZoneMate is a multiple zone HID. ‘dimming system which uses lighting contol fo manage energy consumption Dimming batiasts each contain an integral electronic module which ppetforms the actual dimming function. ‘These individual cimmers respond to signals on dedicated contra circuits Ths “dimmer per lamp" concept allows ballasts 10 be powered from conven- tional branch cicuts for smooth stable dimming ‘The dimmer panel accepts inputs from ccontal stations and AEC photosensors ‘These inputs are used by the dimmer ppanel to produce epproprate signals on {he ballast control circuits. ‘AEC photosensors road ight levels \wihin each space being controlled and adjust lamp output accoraingly to ‘mainiain a constant ilumination level ‘Control stations may contain provisions {or choosing between manual conti ‘and AEC operation. For technical and design information on ZoneMate equipment, please reler fo Wide-Lite publication # 0281 “ZoneMate Manual” (MULTIPLE ZONE CAPABILITY ZoneMaie is a madular system capable (of setting diferent levels of ight Independently in each zone. This ‘concept provides each zone withthe ‘exact light determined lor each task mth no waste of energy. ZoneMate uses all three HID lamp types, which offer more economical ‘operation than either incandescent or fiyotescent. However, itis also capable (of incorporating incandescent and fluorescent aimming systems by Wide- Lite into the same dimming application, CONTROL OPTION ADVANTAGES ‘Whether for business, industria, athetc, Or institutional use, no two systems have tne same needs. Sono two systems re- {quit the same design. That's why Wide- Lite incorporates three major contol ‘options in the Zonetate design Automatic Energy Control (AEC) uses a photosensor to montor average lume: tion in a given area, then adjusts the dimmer fo mainlain the desired level ot light. The primary advantage of AEC is i ably fallow ighting to be set tothe ‘design level al installation and to keep it there. Itautomatically compensates for light loss factors due to lamp aging and dust accumulation, AEC also lakes full advantage of daylight contributions through skylights and windows, by reducing lamp output and energy’ ‘consumption during daylight hours, Programmed dimming uses timers which are preset to provide proper light levels for specitic petiods, such as lunch or cofige breaks, shit changes, mainte nance, and off-duty secutty It also allows for changes in area usage from ‘one task to another. The programmed ‘option dramatically increases savings through reductions in tlal eneray ‘consumption Manuel dimming oers the lighting tex bil required for multipurpose spaces. Installations such as churches, meeting rooms. exhibit halls, and auditoriums have shown ZoneMate systems to provide ‘control flexibly increased eliciency ‘nd reduced fature counts, in compa son to incandescent ar fluorescent systems.SELLAND ARENA FRESNO, CALIFORNIA in reighting the City of Fresro's special evens arena, eticieney and llexibty Considered equally important The 1000 vat mela halide fotures over the arana or are divided ino 3 zones of cimming ‘contro, wih the capacty to provide up 10 200 focteandis on the floor (nate bsceted incandescent fiures over arena).
