G SERIES USER MANUAL
2.0 INTRODUCTION
2.14 Third-Party Devices: Overview
A third-party device (3PD) is non-Carmanah equipment that interacts with the system in one or more ways:
•
The G Series provides a status signal to 3PD (e.g., Digital Output signals when fixtures are flashing, allowing
3PD equipment such as overhead lighting to activate)
•
The 3PD provides control signal to G Series (e.g., time switch, passive pedestrian detection, water level
detectors)
•
The G Series only provides power to 3PD (e.g., radio/communications)
Installation of a 3PD in a solar-powered system where the device load exceeds the available
system power may result in over-discharge and subsequent damage to the batteries. Contact
Carmanah for guidance on the use of 3PDs.
The G Series is available with several optional 3PD kits which allow the installation of the 3PD within the G Series
cabinet:
