The information symbol gives general hints and
informs about handling and procedures for use of
the device.
1.2 General safety instructions
The hardware and software present no direct hazards. However, in their function as a router or gateway
between networks in building infrastructures, they are able to seriously disrupt the interaction of network
components.
2 General device description
The SYMPHOLIGHT Gateway BACnet is an MQTT to BACnet interface. It converts data from the lighting
management system SYMPHOLIGHT into the building management system compliant format. Forward e.g.
movement and brightness information and to process it smartly in the building management system.
With the integrated web interface, you can congure the SYMPHOLIGHT Gateway using a web browser, save
the conguration and call up statistics and documentation. That makes conguring the devices signicantly
easier, allowing them to be commissioned more quickly. The web interface also enables the use of different
upgrade options of the gateway, such as activation on up to 2,500 data points.
• Misconguration of hardware and software:
Faulty conguration of hardware and software can cause
malfunctions in the building infrastructure on network
components, sensors or actuators, for example:
- Monitoring devices, such as re alarm or intrusion
detection systems, are deactivated.
- Machines and fans start up unexpectedly.
- Gate valves and other valves open or close
unintentionally.
Under certain circumstances, this can lead to serious
injuries or death.
The device should only be congured by specialist
personnel who are familiar with network conguration.
A connection to a network must not be established,
before the device has been fully congured.
• The device must be supplied by a power supply that is
certied according to the local regulations (e.g. SELV, Class
2).
