1 Operational Safety Notices
Installer
Installers must be suitably trained and qualified for electrical work, according to the laws and local codes
for the locality and country where the unit will be installed.
This unit must only be installed by personnel that have been trained by Telensa or their representatives to
carry out this work.
Power Supply
In the case of field installation the supply voltage present on the luminaire NEMA socket is hazardous
and all necessary precautions must be taken to ensure the safety of the installer. Isolate the supply to the
NEMA socket before removing an old photocontrol, and installing the telecell.
2 Product function
The telecell is a radio controlled device and will only function as part of a Telensa Central Management
System (CMS). Telecells are assigned to a specific CMS and cannot be transferred to another CMS
without being re-assigned by Telensa.
The telecell operating program is set by the CMS and dusk/dawn lamp switching is remote controlled
over the radio link by the associated CMS base stations. Typical maximum radio link distances are 2-
3km in a urban areas and 3-10km in rural areas, depending on the terrain.
3 Telecell Variants
There are two key variants of the Telecell 2 model; dimming control and standard / non-dimming
control. Dimming control products are identified by the text “0-10V & DALI” on the product label.
Telecell products are built and supplied to either the EU or US standards:
US product part numbers start with T2A…
The products are supplied with NEMA pin connections for insertion into the photocell socket on top of a
luminaire.

4.2 Notes on dimming control outputs
These notes apply to products with the integrated dimming control function:
Suitable for use with dimmable ballasts with an isolated or non-isolated control input
DALI or 0-10V control mode is auto-selected by the telecell by communicating with the
connected ballast.
0-10V control requires the normally fitted internal pull-up resistor in the ballast
DALI control includes the DALI supply function within the telecell and is suitable for
controlling from one to three dimmable ballasts.
5 Installation Instructions
Instructions for the installation of each of the different variants of Telecell are given below. Figure 2
shows a wiring diagram for a standard lamp with a non-dimmable ballast. Figure 3 shows dimming
control using a dimmable ballast.
Once installed and power is applied then the telecell will automatically switch on to apply power to the
lamp as an installation test. After one minute the lamp will be switched off and the telecell will search
and lock to the radio control signals from the system base stations.
5.1 Dimming Control NEMA Telecell T2A1N
A dimming control telecell will ONLY control a lamp that incorporates a 5 or 7 pin NEMA socket
compliant with ANSI C136.41 2013.
Insert unit into NEMA socket on street light ensuring the largest tab on the unit places into the largest tab
recess on the NEMA socket on the street light. Turn by hand clockwise typically 30 degrees to lock in
place.
5.2 Standard (non dimming) NEMA Telecell T2A1N
Insert unit into NEMA socket on street light ensuring the largest tab on the unit places into the largest tab
recess on the NEMA socket on the street light. Turn by hand clockwise typically 30 degrees to lock in
place.
5.3 Post Top Telecell type T2A1P
This product is for installation within the photocontrol cavity of post top mounted heritage style lanterns.
A separate “twig” style antenna must be installed with this telecell, which has no internal antenna.
First, do a trial installation of the telecell in the lantern socket to check the location of the telecell antenna
socket. The antenna cable will have to reach to this socket. Mark a suitable location for the antenna on
the outside of the luminaire and unplug and remove the telecell.
Drill a half inch (12.5mm) hole in the luminaire case to mount the antenna and fit it in place. When
fitting the antenna use all the waterproofing gaskets as provided and ensure that the metal grounding
teeth on the antenna base make contact inside the luminaire case.
Fit the telecell to its socket then attach the antenna lead connector to the telecell antenna connector.
Tighten by hand gently, there is no need for a high torque. If necessary, use a 5/16in wrench. The
maximum torque is 3in-lbf.
Use only the antenna supplied by Telensa for this application. Antenna part no: IN 1608.

5.4 Two-part Telecell type T2A1T
This product is intended for installation within a luminaire that has no NEMA socket, or insufficient
space for fitting a NEMA socket. An external antenna must be fitted for the telecell to function.
When safe, open the luminaire and install the two-part telecell as follows:
First drill a half-inch (12.5mm) hole in a suitable flat area of the luminaire wall to fit the external
antenna, making sure there is clearance inside the luminaire for the antenna cabling. When fitting the
antenna use all the waterproofing gaskets as provided and ensure that the metal grounding teeth on the
antenna base make contact inside the luminaire case.
Find a suitable location for the two-part telecell inside the luminaire and fix it in place. Wire the telecell
following the wiring diagram in fig 2 or fig 3 of this document. Next attach the telecell antenna lead to
the antenna connector. Tighten by hand gently, there is no need for a high torque. If necessary, use a
5/16in wrench. The maximum connector torque is 3in-lbf.
Use only the antenna supplied by Telensa for this application. Antenna part no: IN 1608.
6 Installation logging
The telecell ID number, the OSID, is bar coded and located underside the unit. This OSID must be
recorded with the ID or geographic co-ordinates of the lamp under control and recorded in the CMS
database. There are a number of different methods to achieve this and installers will be trained with the
appropriate method for their system.
