APPENDIX-4
CONTROL ROOM LIGHTING

Proper lighting contributes greatly to the improvement of work efficiency, insurance of safety and
reduction of work load. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the lighting when designing a
Control room. It is said in general that lighting brightness in a Control room is 300 to 750 Lux. As for
the instrumentation using analog instruments, higher brightness -- 500 to 750 Lux. -- was required
because meter monitoring and status check had been practiced from far away. However, today when
instrument monitoring and operation become serviceable on a CRT panel, the lighting of a Control
room should be designed in consideration of the influence of lighting on CRT.

A Current Cathode-ray-tube has improved its brightness, but because the tube is made from glass,
light reflection of room light on a glass face as well as uneasy-to-see by overlighting effect become an
important problem to be considered about lighting design. In addition, the complex monitoring CRT
operation plus meter reading plus panel-graphic-overviewing -- need special Lighting which mahes
each display more easier to read.

Room Lighting and CRT Console

A. In the case of complex monitoring, the layout of light sources should be designed considering that
the lighting brightness for a graphic panel is risen for making panel monitoring easier, while that for
CRT rather lowered because o£ being luminescence body itself.

B. Lighting in a Control room where provides CRT consoles as main equipments recommends
approx. 300 Lux.

C. To avoid reflection from a light source, a louver type of lighting devices is available for changing
freely light incident angle.

D. Installation position of windows, (Intake of outdoor daylight) Not only room lighting but also outdoor
daylight affect greatly operability improvement of CRT. Counter measures to be taken for avoiding
halation are as follows.

1. Don't make a window in a wall on the rear side of CRT console.

2. Don’t make a window in a wall in front of CRT console.
3. Install the blinds on a window to adjust light reflection.
