WELCOME TO CREE SMARTCAST

WELCOME TO CREE SMARTCAST  TECHNOLOGY

 TECHNOLOGY

For years, bringing smart control to the lighting environment meant two sets of wires: one for power, one for
control. That's two trips up the ladder, two wiring diagrams and two times the complexity. Even with newer
wireless control technologies, installers still have to contend with extra equipment and complicated
commissioning procedures.

Cree SmartCast  Technology delivers essential lighting control without the extra design, installation and setup
time typical of traditional lighting control systems. With SmartCast  Technology, installers simply wire the
fixtures for power and commission the entire system with the touch of one button.

This guide will take you through the deployment of SmartCast  Technology. You'll see how easy it is to design,
install, and commission a code-compliant lighting system with OneButton™ Setup and SmartCast  Technology.

WHAT IS CREE SMARTCAST  TECHNOLOGY?

 TECHNOLOGY?

Instead of wires, SmartCast  Technology uses a network of wireless radio signals (IEEE 802.15.4) to link
fixtures, sensors and controls into a connected and responsive lighting system,. Sensors are built directly into
the fixtures, and whole system comes to life and connects itself together with one touch of the SmartCast
Technology commissioning tool.

SmartCast  Technology products

incorporate integrated ambient light

and motion sensors to achieve

energy savings. Embedded sensors

in each luminaire eliminate the need

for up-front sensor layout design and

allow for reliable detection of

occupants and ambient light.
