2.3
Methods for New Installation
There are four primary ways to set up a
NorthStar
installation. Use the detailed steps
included as an appendix to ensure the different processes don't run together.
NOTE:
Physical installation of lights is performed before or after commissioning,
but these instructions assume that the lights are already installed and powered up.
In cases where a scan of the 2D barcode or reading of a MAC address will be difficult
post-installation, be sure to record the Controller Type, MAC address, and location of
each NorthStar device before it's placed in a permanent home. It's also possible, and
easiest, to use the Leviton Lighting Installer app to scan these devices as they're being
physically installed.
2 INSTALLATION AND INITIAL SETUP

2.3.1 Use the Leviton Lighting App
The easiest and fastest way to get a
NorthStar
installation commissioned is through
the
Leviton Lighting Installer app
. Built for the Android platform, the Lighting Installer
app walks you through the commissioning process and then exports everything to the
NorthStar Site Controller to ensure that you're up and running as soon as possible.
2.3.2 Install Hardware and Discover Unconfigured Devices
As soon as a lighting controller receives power, it can be discovered by the Census
function. This means that an installation is performed by discovering devices and
then adding them into your installation. Each time the census runs, it will only contact
lights that are in communication with a configured light controller. As controllers are
added and configured, you'll need to run the census again to collect lights that are
progressively further away. To learn more about using the Census button for site
configuration, see Using Census for Site Commissioning on page 60.
2.3.3 Create and Import a .CSV file
While not as easy as the
Lighting Installer app
or
Census button
, a comma-
separated value (CSV) file is still easier than doing everything manually. NorthStar
supports easy import of .CSV files that are created in any spreadsheet or text editor
program. You'll enter data on each of the lights, and the bulk of the configuration will be
completed with one import. To learn more about creating and importing a .CSV file for
site configuration, see Site Configuration Using a CSV File on page 61.
2.3.4 Enter Everything Manually
If your installation is small, or you're REALLY into lighting configuration, everything can
be entered manually. This works great if you're adding new equipment to an existing
installation, but we'll go ahead and caution you not to do this if you're just starting out.
