A signal output from the TunnelTech 601 is fed to a suitable controller to adjust the level of light intensity inside the road tunnel to the light intensity outside, The TunnelTech 601 Luminance Photometer fully complies with CIE recommendations for road tunnel lighting control.
Operation and Maintenance 2 Principles of Operation The TunnelTech 601 is built around a metal/glass encased reverse biased silicon diode photocell that determines the luminance levels of a given area, together with an eye response optical filter with a 20° viewing angle. Optical filters are used to provide measurements of luminance to the required standard human visible spectral response.
CODEL Page 3 Operation and Maintenance 3 Specification 3.1 Sensor Sensor type Silicon Photocell with eye response filter. 20° viewing angle Measurement cd/m². Standard measurement range 0-6500 cd/m². (max range 0-10000 cd/m² available on request) Calibration Tracible to British National Physics Laboratory NPL Ref.
CAUTION! Device installation must be performed by specialist technical staff only. 4.1 Device Location The TunnelTech 601 enclosure can be mounted on a purpose-built mounting platform or fastened to an existing column, wall or other mounting surface in the same manner that any other electrical surveillance device.
4 times the weight of the device is applied. The pan/tilt bracket allows the TunnelTech 601 to be panned through a 360° lateral angle and tilted vertically through ±120°. The main device housing is attached to the tilt/pan bracket via two M6x12mm 10mm hex head bolts and m6 washers, supplied with the bracket.
CODEL Page 7 Operation and Maintenance 4.3 Cable installation Before starting any installation, ensure that the power supply Is disconnected. Never under any circumstances make any changes or connection that are not shown in this manual. Improper use of the appliance can cause serious hazards, risking the safety of personnel and of the installation.

The type of cable used must be compatible with the planned use and comply with the national regulations in force on electrical installation. connect the signal output cable to the TB2 terminal (marked Sig) on the Luminance Amplifier and Current Driver PCB, paying attention to the + and –...
CODEL Page 9 Operation and Maintenance 4.4 Optional 24V DC Power Supply Unit (PSU) Installation Mount the PSU to the mounting surface using 4 M6 bolts (by others). Mounting hole details are shown in Figure 7 below Figure 7: Optional PSU mounting Arrangement Make sure the PSU enclosure is earthed with a grounding strap during installation using the earthing bolt.
CODEL Page 10 Operation and Maintenance 5 Maintenance Recalibration checks: The silicone receptor is extremely stable over a long period. Recalibration checks are not normally necessary within ten-year periods. Maintenance: Minimal. Occasional cleaning of the viewing window. (Not necessary if automatic Wash/Wipe unit is fitted, available upon request).
Operation and Maintenance 6 mA Output the output of the TunnelTech 601 is a standard 4- 20mA current loop. The response from the sensor is perfectly linear within the calibrated range of 0 to 6500 cd/m² and therefore the mA output is delivered accordingly and is updated near constantly.
