SG Connect - Energy Reporting
The SG Commissioning app can be used to retrieve energy usage reports at group level. Each reading stores the time stamp along with the total energy (in kWh) used by all the light fixtures in the group. The screen displays the previous and current readings along with the energy used for this time interval. The interval data provides a quick snapshot for the energy consumed for a desired period, for example, 1 hour or 1month between readings. All the past reports are also stored in “History” and can be retrieved by the user at a later point.
Light fixture energy data is read from the real measured energy counters of the Xitanium Drivers in the group.
Following parameters are displayed:
Previous Reading: Time stamp (date and time) and the total energy used by the group of lights at the time of last reading.
Current Reading: Time stamp (date and time) and the total energy used by the group of lights at this reading. This number is set to zero at first commissioning of the group.
Interval: The time interval between above two readings and the energy used by the group of lights during this period.
How to
Open a group and select the menu via the 3 dots in the top right.
Choose “Group info” from the list.
Choose “Generate new report” to read out the energy data from the device.
Choose “View report history” to export data as a csv file.
Step-by-step guide
Remarks
For nodes and wireless drivers, energy reporting is limited to 20 devices.
n rare cases a report may fail to capture all the devices in the allotted time. If this happens, we recommend waiting for a few minutes and generating another report. The “current reading” number will always be correct when all the devices are captured. The Xitanium SR drivers in the fixtures maintain a continuous and accurate counter for energy used.
If the app indicates that the reported energy is not complete because a device has been missed, it is recommended to trigger “Refresh network”.
