Chapter 1: Background and Purpose Several wireless providers, wireless infrastructure companies, and their contractors (Applicants) desire to deploy

small cell wireless communications facilities in the Right of Way (ROW) owned by the City of Colorado Springs

(City). To meet cellular demands of residents and visitors to Colorado Springs, Applicants may deploy small

cell infrastructure in City ROW only after execution of a Master License Agreement (MLA) with the City and

Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU), and after receiving approved permits from the City and CSU, see Table 1-1 for

more information on the required permits.

Considerations for the locations of small cell infrastructure shall be governed by the City’s traditional role in

protecting the health, safety and welfare of the City, including, but not be limited to, the aesthetic values of

public places, compatibility with the City’s traffic, utility, and forest infrastructure, pedestrian and vehicle

safety, quality of life for nearby residents, preservation of historic areas, preservation of views from residences

and other sensitive sites, and the technical and frequency needs of an Applicant.

Applications for deploying small cell infrastructure in City ROW shall meet, at a minimum, the requirements

within these Design Standards, City Code Chapter 7, and CSU’s Electric Distribution Construction Standards

(Appendix A) and Electric Line Extension and Service Standards (LESS). In addition, Applicants shall obtain

the applicable permits from the City and CSU before deploying small cell infrastructure. These Design

Standards are not binding for small cell infrastructure installed on private property, but may be used as a guide

for such installations. The City and CSU reserve the right, on a case-by-case basis, to approve deviations from

some or all of these Design Standards when strict application is proven to interfere with an Applicant’s

technology, so long as any deviations meet the general intent of these Design Standards and are approved by

the City and CSU in writing.

1.1: Legal Authority

According to the FCC ruling 18-133, the FCC “conclude[s] that aesthetics requirements are not preempted if

they are (1) reasonable, (2) no more burdensome than those applied to other types of infrastructure

deployments, and (3) objective and published in advance.” Further, the FCC states “aesthetic requirements

that are reasonable in that they are technically feasible and reasonably directed to avoiding or remedying the

intangible public harm of unsightly or out-of-character deployments are also permissible.”

The City concludes that the Design Standards detailed in this document are reasonable, no more burdensome

than those applied for other types of infrastructure deployments, and objective and published in advance, and

therefore, not prohibitive for Applicants who wish to deploy small cell infrastructure in City ROW.

1.2: Approval Process for New Freestanding Infrastructure (Types 1A, 1B, 1C, 2, 3, and 4)

For an Applicant to deploy small cells using new infrastructure, such as replacement streetlights or

standalone poles, the Applicant shall execute a Master License Agreement with the City and CSU, shall

Chapter 2: General Small Cell Design Standards 2.1: General Aesthetic Criteria

Applicants who wish to install small cell infrastructure in Colorado Springs shall consider the aesthetics of

existing streetlights and neighborhoods adjacent to proposed small cell locations prior to submitting an

application. Small cell infrastructure shall consider and make best efforts to match existing, adjacent

streetscape character. The same small cell pole aesthetic shall be used in the same area to maintain a cohesive

appearance. In addition, when an Applicant proposes to install a small cell in a Special District, Historical

District, or neighborhood that maintains unique streetlight aesthetics, Applicants shall propose small cell

infrastructure that most closely matches adjacent infrastructure to the maximum extent feasible. The

characteristics of unique assemblies may include mast arms, decorative pole bases, architectural luminaires,

mounting heights, pole colors, etc. that deviate from these Design Standards.

2.2: General Luminaire Criteria

When an Applicant proposes small cell infrastructure with lighting included (Types 1, 2, or 5), street lighting

luminaire selection shall follow the luminaire specifications and design requirements set by CSU. No small cell

devices shall be co-located with a streetlight without confirmation from the Applicant that the intended co-

location has no impact on the streetlight’s operational performance, including the streetlight control system.

2.3: General Infrastructure Relocation Criteria

As a condition of all permitted small cell infrastructure, if the City identifies a conflict or requires the relocation

of such infrastructure in the future, Applicant shall remove and relocate such infrastructure, at no cost to the

City. Once notified in writing, Applicant shall remove small cell infrastructure within a reasonable period

(within 90 days, or as otherwise agreed to in writing), and the City will make reasonable accommodations to

identify and permit suitable alternate locations for such conflicting infrastructure.

2.4: General Electrical and Fiber Criteria

All small cell installations shall meet or exceed all applicable structural standards, clearance standards, and

provisions of the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) or National Electrical Safety Code (NESC), and applicable

City and CSU standards. In case of conflict, the most stringent requirements shall prevail. The Applicant shall

obtain all necessary permits and provide such permits to the City, or other pole owner when applicable. The

City and CSU, when applicable, will review and approve all associated fiber and power source locations prior to

installation. Applicant shall maintain separation of CSU supply conductors and Applicant’s conductors, using

separate conduit or dividers within the pole, splice box(es), and equipment access.

2.5: General Metering Criteria

With submission of an Applicant’s first small cell permit application, the Applicant shall enter into a nominal

load agreement with CSU, see Appendix B. Execution of the nominal load agreement will eliminate the

requirement for metering of small cells. Each small cell will be added to the Applicant’s nominal load agreement

https://www.nfpa.org/NEC

https://standards.ieee.org/products-services/nesc/index.html

8 | P a g e

(via Applicant’s submission of an Electric Load Data form) for billing purposes. Note: in order to qualify for a

nominal load agreement, a small cell and all related equipment shall not exceed an electrical load of 66 kWh

per day.

If agreed to by CSU, the City, and the Applicant, the Applicant may meter a small cell. Poles housing small cell

infrastructure and related equipment of more than one Applicant are not eligible for nominal load agreements,

and shall be individually metered. All meters and associated wires and cabling shall be located internal to the

pole for Types 1, 2, 3, and 4, and within a separate meter pedestal for Types 5 and 6. Meter housing shall be

recessed as much as possible within the pole, and located so as to not violate pedestrian or vehicle accessibility

requirements. No disconnects or other customer equipment shall be installed on the source side of the meter.

2.6: General Existing Pole Criteria

Within any application for a Type 5 or 6 small cell, the Applicant shall provide documentation and confirmation

that the existing supporting pole(s) are appropriately sized and have sufficient strength to accommodate the

additional small cell infrastructure loadings along with all other accompanying uses or applications (banners,

for example). If the pole is not structurally capable, the Applicant shall replace the existing pole.

Note: Within two (2) years of receiving permit approval to attach to an existing wooden streetlight pole, the

Applicant shall remove the existing wooden streetlight pole and replace it with a Type 1 combination small cell

and metal streetlight pole, unless the City and CSU agree during the review process that it is unreasonable to

do so because of site specific issues.

Applicants can find more information about existing poles in Colorado Springs on Colorado Springs Utilities’

Utility Mapping application.

2.7: Finishes

For all small cell installations in Colorado Springs, Applicants shall select and propose colors for small cell

equipment and poles from the list of available colors at time of application. The current list of colors is shown

below. Should an Applicant determine that a unique or non-standard color is appropriate based on character

of adjacent infrastructure, the Applicant shall propose the appropriate color in the permit application and note

that while the color is non-standard, it does match adjacent infrastructure. For example, poles located in

Historic Districts or Special Districts that are not owned by the City may require an Applicant to match

adjacent predominant infrastructure finish rather than one of the colors listed below. The City may

approve alternate color codes whenever appropriate to match adjacent District infrastructure.

Color selection from the standard color options below shall be made from a conscious and thoughtful effort by

the Applicant to best match proposed small cell infrastructure with the predominant color of existing pole

infrastructure within one block of the proposed location, as well as general character of the corridor where the

infrastructure will be located. Prior to submitting a permit application, the Applicant shall perform a visual

inspection to confirm existing aesthetics. The City reserves the right to modify proposed finishes prior

to approval.

Available finishes:

■ Moss Green (RAL 6005)

■ Graphite Black (RAL 9011)

■ Quartz Gray (RAL 7039)

■ Telegray 4 (RAL 7047)

■ Per the Historic District allowed finish*

■ Per the Special District allowed finish*

■ Other finish to match adjacent pole finish*

*Applicant shall provide explanation of proposed finish within permit application

2.8: General Placement Requirements

All small cells installed in City ROW shall be located:

■ In a manner that does not impede, obstruct, or hinder operation of any emergency service, nor

the usual pedestrian or vehicular access or travel including to or from private properties and of

legally parked vehicles or permitted items in City ROW.

■ In alignment with existing trees, utility poles, streetlights, and other existing infrastructure, as

shown in Figure 2-1.

■ An equal distance between adjacent trees when possible, with a minimum of 25 feet of separation

to the tree trunk such that no proposed disturbance shall occur within 20 feet of any tree without

approval from the City Forester’s Office. The City Forester reserves the right to reduce minimum

tree separation criteria based on adjacent tree species and condition and/or tree mitigation

efforts. Any tree pruning required for the installation and maintenance of small cell facilities

shall be performed at facility owner’s expense by a licensed tree service after issuance of a permit

from the City Forester. So that all electrical and fiber optic conduit is located to avoid unpaved

area between roadway curb and sidewalk, generally referred to as “tree lawn” or “amenity zone”

to the maximum extent feasible.

■ With appropriate clearance from existing utilities.

■ So as not to be along the frontage of a historic building, deemed historic on a federal, state, or

local level.

■ So as not to significantly create a new obstruction or unreasonable visual blight or obstruction

to primary property sight lines beyond that expected of other legally permitted encroachments

or utility infrastructure in City ROW in adjacent or similar zones or districts.

■ So as not to be along any designated parkway or adjacent to any designated parkland unless

otherwise agreed to in writing by the City Parks Department.

■ So as to not impact any existing bridges or retaining walls.

10 | P a g e

■ So as not to interfere with any City SmartCOS project or CSU Advanced Metering Infrastructure

project.

Additionally, small cells requiring new freestanding infrastructure (typically Types 3 and 4) and installed in City

ROW shall be located:

■ Within the street amenity zone whenever possible.

■ Per the 2010 Colorado Springs Traffic Criteria Manual, or current AASHTO standards

(whichever is the more stringent) so that no new infrastructure is located within:

o 5-foot pedestrian sight triangle at each residential driveway

o 10-foot pedestrian sight triangle at each driveway and alley

o 50 feet of corner sight triangles at intersections, shown in Figure 2-2

Figure 2-1: Freestanding Small Cell in Amenity Zone

Figure 2-2: Standalone Small Cell Intersection Sight-Line Requirements

Do not locate new small cell infrastructure in clear sight triangles at intersections,

SCREW-IN BASE (FOUNDATION)1. Install foundation just above grade.2. Avoid use in areas with existing underground utilities if

location is within 18" from the edge of the helix. If nothing isrequired, backfill around the screw-in base with flowable fillto achieve proper compaction.

3. Neutral conductor shall be bonded to the pole at the poleground lug.

4. Do not use if torque exceeds 15,000 ft/lbs. during installation.5. This type of foundation is acceptable for use with all

anchor-base poles specified in EDCS Section 17.6. A ground rod is normally not necessary when using a

screw-in base.7. For 14' ornamental poles, if full 5' depth is unattainable due

to rock, corners of the base may be cut with a torch asshown above to allow the base cover to slide over the base.

8. Arterial pole screw-in base foundation is designed to be usedwith a maximum 40' steel pole with a 12' mast arm and a 75lb. luminaire, under the condition of 100 m.p.h. winds. Thisbase,then, can be used with Colorado Springs Utilitiesdouble davit streetlight poles. It is to be installed insandy-clay soil or stronger. In no case should thisfoundation be used if any of the maximum design conditionsare exceeded or if the soil at the installation site is loosesand-silt.

DATE CODING INSTRUCTIONS:Photocontrols have a ten (10) year warranty. To receive replacements and/or credits, it is necessary to document the dateof installation and return units that fail while under warranty.1. Do not write the date of installation or removal on the surface of the cover in marker, as these markings can fade from

sun exposure. On the bottom of each new controller, scratch a mark next to the month installed on the outer-left arcand next to the year installed on the outer-right arc (see Photocontrol Installation / Removal Date Marking).

2. Upon removal of a failed photocontrol from service, mark the removal date as explained in step 1. Make sure thatremoval date markings are made in the inner arc of the controller base.

3. Return any photocontrols that fail within 10 years of installation to Engineering Standards.

NOTES:1. This standard is for replacement

units only.2. Instructions for using the

photocontrol voltage tool areprinted on the tool.

7-6-2016 STREET LIGHT GROUNDING GUIDE 17-5 1/1

1. PREFERRED METHOD: The preferred method of grounding poles and luminaire is by the installation of a verticallydriven ground rod at each pole connected to the pole with a minimum of bare #6 copper wire. This ground rod maybe installed either through the base so it extends 3" above the top of the base, or outside of the base on the oppositeside from the primary conductor location. In the second case, the top of the ground rod must be at least 6" below thefinal grade. Both the neutral wire and the #6 copper lead from the ground rod shall be connected to the pole ground lug.

2. ALTERNATE METHOD: There are cases where underground primary cable, fiber optic cable, or telephone cablecannot be precisely located. In this case, a ground rod shall not be installed. In this case, a minimum of 100' of bare#6 copper wire shall be laid in the trench beside the conduit or direct buried cable feeder and routed into the pole basethrough a conduit installed in the base for that purpose. This ground wire and the neutral wire shall both be connectedto the pole ground lug. This ground wire may be run continuously the length of the trench, base-to-base from the sourcetransformer.

3. SPECIAL CONDITIONS:A. STREETLIGHT NEXT TO TRANSFORMER OR VAULT: A ground rod is not required at any street light pole that is

within 10' of the the transformer pad (with driven ground rod) or 4' from a new 4' x 4' or 4' x 7' (with internal earthelectrode) vault that provides service to the luminaire. In this case, both the neutral and ground wire shall beconnected to the ground lug on the pole and to the ground rod and secondary neutral bushing at the transformer.Connection to the secondary neutral bushing will allow easy ground wire removal for cable fault location.

B. STREETLIGHT UNDER OVERHEAD PRIMARY: Normally a #6 bare copper wire is used for grounding purposes. Inthe event the luminaire is installed where it is possible for a primary wire to fall onto it or the arm, a #2 bare copperwire shall be used as the grounding conductor. This #2 bare copper wire shall be connected to the pole and to theneutral/shield wire of the primary system.

4. GROUNDING LUMINAIRES: If a luminaire is not properly grounded, it can become electrically "hot" if a componentor wire inside the fixture shorts itself to the housing. This can happen if wires become frayed or if the ballasts orother components become damaged. The danger of electric shock then exists when the service technician touchesthe housing and grounds another part of his or her body. When installing or servicing new or existing luminaires,ALWAYS be sure the luminaire is properly grounded prior to energizing. This can be accomplished by connectinga grounding wire (preferably green) from the NEUTRAL lead on the terminal strip to the green grounding screwprovided on the luminaire housing (see the below figures). Use caution not to land the jumper on a position on theterminal strip that is not electrically bonded to the neutral lead. If a grounding screw is not provided, mechanicallybond the grounding jumper to the luminaire housing at one of the ballast of starter mounting screws. Be sure toremove any paint at the ground jumper attachment that might hinder a good electrical connection.

7-6-2016 AN INTRODUCTION TO ROADWAY LIGHTING 17-6 1/3

GENERAL: The main purpose for fixed lighting of public ways is to create a nighttime environment conducive to quick,accurate and comfortable viewing for both pedestrians and vehicles. When properly applied and installed, street lightscan provide social and economic benefits to the public including:

1. Reduction in night accidents;2. Aid to police protection;3. Promotion of business and industry during night hours; and4. A sense of safety and well being for the general public.

CATEGORIES OF LIGHTING: Colorado Springs Utilities Street Lighting can be divided into two major categories,Ornamental and Non-Ornamental.

1. Ornamental is the term typically used when referring to those lights installed on a pole specifically designed tosupport a street light. If the pole is direct buried or "foamed" in place, it is referred to as a pole; if the pole ismounted on a bolted foundation it is referred to as a standard.

Ornamental street lighting is used in URD areas along major streets and highways and in residential andbusiness areas. These lights can be fed by either an underground or overhead distribution system tied to anunderground source. This source may be an underground dip from an overhead feed, a secondary junctionbox on a URD system, the underground secondary network or a padmounted transformer.

2. Non-Ornamental street lights are typically installed on wooden poles. They are generally used in areas fedby overhead lines and are often installed directly on the overhead distribution poles.

THE PARTS OF A STREET LIGHT: A typical street light is made up of five main components: (1) a luminaire; (2) a pole or standard; (3) an arm/bracket or mounting method; (4) a foundation; and (5) wiring. Each part is described in detail below.

AN INTRODUCTION TO ROADWAY LIGHTING

The Colorado Springs Utilities installs only three styles of high pressure sodium (HPS) luminaires - full-cutoff cobra head(100, 250 & 400 watt), colonial post-top (100 watt), and acorn-shaped post-top (100 & 150 watt). These luminairesconsists of six main parts, a housing, lamp socket, reflector (or glass), ballast and photocontrol receptacle.

While the purpose of the housing, lamp socket and photocontrol receptacle are generally well known, the function of therefractor (not on post-top) and ballast assembly may require additional explanation.

The reflector and refractor serve to direct light in the desired direction and in a specific pattern. Both cobra head andpost-top fixtures have a house side as determined by the reflector and/or refractor. The house side of the fixture limitsthe amount of light focused behind the roadway. Additional glare reduction on the house side of the luminaire may beachieved by painting portions of the reflector and/or refractor with a non-reflective, heat-resistant, flat white paint(ref. std. 17-9).

The ballast is the device that provides the HPS lamp with the necessary starting and operating voltages and currents.There are two types of ballasts used by Colorado Springs Utilities , the reactor ballast and the regulator ballast.

The reactor ballast used in 100 watt post-top luminaries provides no power factor correction, giving it a 55% power factor.It is also characterized by a starting current higher than operating current and voltage tolerance of +5% above and -5%below nominal. These characteristics combine to limit fusing and the allowable length or size of feeder conductors.

The regulator ballast used in all cobra head luminaires feature high power factor (85-95% P.F.) and lower starting currentthan operating current, and good input voltage range on the order of +10% above and -10% below nominal.

HPS LUMINAIRES

The Colorado Springs Utilities installs only two styles of LED luminaires - a full-cutoff cobra head style (100, 250 & 400watt HPS equivalent), and an acorn-shaped post-top (100 watt HPS equivalent). These luminaires consists of four mainparts, a housing, LED array, driver and photocontrol receptacle.

The driver used in all LED luminaires feature high power factor (+90% P.F.) and a lower operating current. This loweroperating current allows the LED fixture to operate using 50% less power than the equivalent HPS fixture. Some LEDfixtures use drivers with multiple current taps (350mA, 525mA, & 700mA). The LED fixtures received at Colorado SpringsUtilities will be pre-wired on the 525mA current tap.

LED LUMINAIRES


52

The second classification describes how much light is directed above 80° and90° vertical. The 90° vertical is illustrated with a dashed horizontal line drawnthrough the luminaire. A Cutoff (C) luminaire directs little or no light above 90°vertical while a Semi-Cutoff (s) allows some light above this angle. A Non-Cutoff (N) obviously has no limitations on the light emitted in any direction.Non-cutoff luminaires can be spaced farther apart than semi-cutoff or full-cutoff, but with generally increased glare to viewers and light reflected onbuildings and surrounding property.

90°

Type V

Type I

Type III

Type II

Type IV

The final classification is the Illuminating EngineeringSociety (IES) type. This classification indicates howfar a luminaire directs light across a roadway. Theexception is Type V, which indicates a circular pattern.The higher the number type, the wider the roadwaythat can be illuminated. If the "type" classification isfollowed by the term "4 way", the luminaire provides an"X" shaped pattern designed to be used at anintersection to light two streets.

The three classifications are always referred to in the following order: Short (S), Medium (M) and Long (L);Cutoff (c), Semi-cutoff (C), and Non-cutoff (N); and the Type pattern. For example, CSU specifies onlymedium, cutoff, Type III of M-C-III for cobra head luminaires and medium, cutoff, Type III or M-C-III forpost-top applications.



LUMINAIRE CLASSIFICATIONS

sML

There are three classifications used to describe roadway luminaire beampatterns. One classification describes how far up and down a street aluminaire directs light. This is designated as Short (S), Medium (M) orLong (L). The actual distance will change with variations in mounting height,so this characteristic is really a comparison between luminaires.


53

BRACKETS AND MOUNTING METHODS

Brackets, often referred to as "arms" or "mast arms" provide a mount for the luminaire and a wire raceway from the poleor standard to the luminaire. All brackets are 2 inches taller in diameter at the luminaire mounting end.

All post-top poles/standards have a 3" O.D. tenon on top allowing for slipfit mounting of luminaires.

Aluminum davit style standards also employ a tenon slipfit arrangement for attaching the curved davit arm to the taperedstandard. The curved davit arm also has a 2" diameter horizontal tenon for mounting the luminaire.

POLES AND STANDARDS

Wood poles are only used for non-ornamental lighting, with 4', 6', or 10' brackets to provide the luminaire with horizontaldisplacement. Brackets may be either aluminum or galvanized, plated or painted steel.

There are four styles available for ornamental lighting, two aluminum standards requiring an arm, and two fiberglasspoles for pole-top applications.

The aluminum choices are either round tapered with a single or double 6' arm (25', 30' and 35' mounting height) and around davit with either 6' single or 10' double arm (30' and 35' mounting height). All require an 11" bolt circle foundationinstallation.

One of the two styles of fiberglass available is a black, round, tapered pole. It is an embedded or direct buried type with a19' mounting height. The second type is a brown, decorative, standard reserved for use with an acorn shaped post-topluminaire in historic districts. It requires an 11" bolt circle and provides a 14' mounting height.

BASES (FOUNDATIONS)

Installations that cannot be imbedded and secured with expandable foam will require a foundation. The ColoradoSprings Utilities preferred foundation is a galvanized steel, screw-in type (see 17-1). When a screw-in foundation is not aviable option, a poured in place concrete foundation with cast-in bolts and cable ducts is an acceptable alternative (ref.std. 17-1).

Breakaway devices are used in areas where occupant injury can occur when vehicles come in contact with lightingpoles/standards. Aluminum transformer bases are the Colorado Springs Utilities standard for breakaway applications(see 17-7 for specific recommendations). Two sizes are available, one that fits a standard 11" bolt circle and the otherthat fits the 15" bolt circle found at some older installations along interstate highways.

Care should be used when specifying a breakaway transformer base to avoid installations where greater risk to life maybe created than prevented. Such a situation would be one where the breakaway device protects the occupant of anout-of-control vehicle from injury, but allows the pole to be thrown into a group of pedestrians (i.e. playgrounds, parks, busstops, etc.).

During installation, care must me taken to not allow any part of the breakaway base to become buried in the surroundingsoil.

7-6-2016 STREET LIGHT LAYOUT/APPLICATION 17-7 1/8

STREET LIGHT LAYOUT/APPLICATION1. Layout Street light layouts are designed on the Colorado Springs Utilities system in one of two ways depending upon theirintended location:

(1) When a street light is required for area or security lighting at a specific residential location, the wattage, style(cobra-head, post-top), and approximate location are determined by Field Engineering.

(2) When the intended area is an arterial street or a major collector and will require design work, Field Engineering willdesign a street light layout that will provide the necessary lighting levels. The ANSI/IES recommended roadwayillumination levels, in foot candles (FC) and uniformity ratio, are listed below for quick reference.

Most street lights layouts are done using roadway lighting design software provided by luminaire manufactures (i.e GE,Cooper, etc.). When using one of these packages, the designer should always follow the software providers instructions.Though computers are the primary design tool in roadway lighting, it is important that the designer understand theANSI/IES method of calculation upon which these software packages are founded. ANSI/IES RP-8, The AmericanNational Standard Practice for Roadway Lighting , fully explains these methods in detail. In addition, several luminairemanufacturers publish reference documents that include the ANSI/IES practices in condensed form.

3. Frangible (Break-Away) DevicesOnly transformer base, break-away devices (ref. std. 17-4) are used on the Colorado Springs Utilities roadway lightingsystem. Transformer bases should be used for all state and interstate highway lighting installations with the followingexceptions. During installation, care must me taken to not allow any part of the breakaway base to become buried in thesurrounding soil.

A.) For posted speeds of 40 mph or less:1) Light standards located 10 feet or more from the traveled may be non-break-away, or,2) Light standards located behind barrier-type curb may be non-break-away.

B.) Break-away supports should not be used in urban areas where a falling pole might strike a pedestrian or cause property damage.C.) Lighting standards located a minimum of 30 feet from the traveled way or behind guard rails do not require break-away supports.

Breakaway bases are also recommended for roadways where speeds above 40 mph are posted, or there is a history of vehicle contact, or a high probability of vehicle contact exists. Again, the safety of pedestrians near urban roadways is paramount and should be evaluated prior to installing a break-away device.

4. Voltage Drops, Fusing and Streetlight FeedsAll overhead and underground fed luminaires, with operating voltages 120V and greater, should be fused with a standard20 amp midget fuse (100-118-320) and fuse kit (195-103-005). Fusing is typically located inside the pole for those with"handhole" access or at the transformer or J-box (source) for poles without internal access. CAUTION: Source fusesshould be sized at least 100% of continuous circuit current and should never be sized larger than the cable ampacity of thefeeder.

High Pressure Sodium lamps are sensitive to voltage drops. If a lamp is operated at a voltage below its rating, it will dim andits life will be shortened. Luminaire ballasts offer some voltage regulation, but there is still a limit to the line voltage variationsthey can tolerate. For this reason it will often be necessary to calculate the voltage drops for a particular layout. Tables 3 and4 can be used as a reference for voltage drop calculations.

One method for calculating voltage drop in a multiple feed are to use Table 4 (HPS), Table 5 (LED), and the formulasthat follow. If the voltage drop on a feeder is greater than the luminaires on the circuit can tolerate (see Table 3) thelamp may not start and the life of the lamp will be greatly reduced.

Several factors affect the voltage drop in a street light feed. They are:

1) Luminaire wattage2) Number of luminaires on a feed3) Length of the individual spans between luminaires4) Conductor type (CU or AL) and size5) Other loads on the feed

Example 2:Try to feed the same 6 luminaires with #4 Al triplex. When using triplex, we alternate hot legs for each luminaire as wemove down the street with the third wire as a common neutral. This will require the circuit to be drawn differently.



Since 9.83% is less than the allowable drop of 10% for this luminaire, this circuit is acceptable; however, with a voltagedrop this close to the maximum you will want to modify the design to reduce the voltage drop (larger wire, shorterspacing, fewer luminaires, etc.).

% Voltage Drop of Span = (% Voltage Drop per Luminaire per foot)x (Number of Luminaires Served by the Span)x (Span Length in Feet)

% Voltage Drop of Feed = Sum of % Voltage Drop of Each Span

To illustrate how Table 4 and Table 5 are used, three voltage drop examples are included on the following pages.

Example 1:Serve six 250 watt luminaires, at 120 volts using #6 Cu cable as illustrated in Fig. 1.

a b c d e f

FEDCBA200' 210' 195' 220' 190' 205'

Voltage Drop of Feed:

Span A Drop = (%voltage drop/lum.) x (# of lum.) x (span length) = (0.002045) x (6) x (200) = 2.45% Span B Drop = (0.002045) x (5) x (210) = 2.15% Span C Drop = (0.002045) x (4) x (195) = 1.60% Span D Drop = (0.002045) x (3) x (220) = 1.35% Span E Drop = (0.002045) x (2) x (190) = 0.78% Span F Drop = (0.002045) x (1) x (205) = 0.42% Total Drop = 8.75%

Let's check both phase wires to determine which has the largest voltage drop.

Phase Wire #1: Phase Wire #2:Span A Drop = (0.00218) x (3) x (200) = 1.31% Span A + B Drop = (0.00218) x (3) x (200 + 210) = 2.68%Span B + C Drop = (0.00218) x (2) x (210 + 195) = 1.74% Span C + D Drop = (0.00218) x (2) x (195 + 220) = 1.81%Span D + E Drop = (0.00218) x (1) x (220 + 190) = 0.89% Span E + F Drop = (0.00218) x (1) x (190 + 205) = 0.86%Total Drop = 3.94% Total Drop = 5.35%

Phase Wire #2 is the most critical since it has the largest voltage drop. Still, the 5.35% is less than the 10% limit making thisan acceptable design from a voltage drop perspective.

Figure 1

Example 3:What do I do if all the fixtures on the circuit are not the same size? You need to follow the same basic procedure as inExample 1 & 2, while calculating the voltage drop on the odd luminaires separately. For this example, let's use the circuit ofFigure 2 again using #4 triplex, with 250 watt luminaires at 120 volts.. If we replace fixture "c" with a 400 watt luminaire andfixture "d" with a 100 watt lumnaire, the calculations would be as follows:

Phase Wire #1: Span A Drop = [(0.00218) x (2) x (200)] + [(0.003401) x (1) (200)] = 1.55% Span B + C Drop = [(0.00218) x (1) x (210 + 195)] + [(0.003401) x (210 + 195)] = 2.26% Span D + E Drop = [(0.00218) x (1) x (220 + 190)] = 0.89% Total Drop = 4.70%

Phase Wire #2: Span A + B Drop = [(0.00218) x (2) x (200 + 210)] + [(0.000923) x (1) x (200 + 210)] = 2.17% Span C + D Drop = [(0.00218) x (1) x (195 + 220)] + [(0.000923) x (1) x (195 + 220) = 1.29% Span E + F Drop = [(0.00218) x (1) x (190 + 205)] = 0.86% Total Drop = 4.32%

Both circuits are acceptable as the voltage drop on each phase wire is below the 10% limit for the luminaires used. Itshould be noted that if the fixture "d" were replaced with a normal power factor, colonial post-top fixture, the allowablevoltage drop at the fixture is only 5%. In this case, the voltage drop at "d" is 3.45% (using 0.000925 from Table 4), whichis acceptable.



5. ConduitThe standard conduit size for arterial feeds and those under roadways or sidewalk is 2" Schedule 40 PVC (Item#194-214- 505). 1-1/2" PVC conduit is no longer acceptable for street light construction. Some 1-1/2" PVC conduit andcouplings are kept in stores for repair of existing installations only.

6. RisersSpecify EDCS 12-5 for all new streetlight installations. For the sake of consistancy and reducing material inventory,2" is now the standard riser size. The old 1" and 1-1/2" risers are now maintenance standards, and are to be used forreference only.

7. Junction BoxesColorado Springs Utilities has standardized on concrete composite junction boxes (ref. std. 17-3) for all streetlight cablesplicing locations. A junction box may also be installed at locations where individual luminaire fusing is necessary buthandholes are not available on each pole. This application would be the exception, as most poles used for a multipleluminaire feed are specified with handhole access.

7-6-2017 HPS LUMINAIRE TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 17-8 1/1

HPS LUMINAIRE TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDEThe following are descriptions of commonly encountered luminaire failures. A recommended course of action for eachproblem is listed in the following table, from the most common to the least common solution. Each troubleshooting stepshould be followed in order. Confirm that each step has not solved the problem before moving on to the next step. Themost typical type of failure modes are:

1. Verify the proper wattage lamp is installed in thefixture. If not, replace the lamp with one of theappropriate wattage.

2. Replace the fixture.

1. Replace photocontrol. Note: If there is evidence ofoverheating at the photocontrol receptacle, replace thefixture.

2. Check for open wiring (usually white wire from thephotocontrol receptacle.

3. Replace the fixture.

1. Verify proper wattage lamp is installed in the fixture. Ifnot, replace the lamp with one of the appropriatewattage.

2. Check muti-tap ballast for the correct tap settings.3. Check for loose wires on capacitor if applicable.4. Measure supply voltage and make certain it matches

the rating on the ballast.5. Replace the fixture.

1. Verify lamp cycling with bump test.2. Replace lamp.3. If reports of cycling persist, check to see if the

photocontrol is overly sensitive to ambient light in thearea. This can be accomplished by shielding thecontroller or repositioning it away from strong lightsources. Look for light being reflected from other objector even tree leaves.

4. Replace fixture.

1. Test the photocontrol. Cover the photocell with yourhand and wait for several seconds. If the lamp doesnot come ON, replace the photocontrol with a knownworking unit.

2. Replace lamp with a known good HPS lamp.3. Test the luminaire for a starter board failure with an

IGNITRON lamp of the appropriate wattage. If theIGNITRON works, leave the IGNITRONin the socket and remove the old starter. Cap any barestarter leads.

4. Check the luminaire fuse and replace if necessary.5. Open the luminaire door and inspect for incorrect or

defective wiring. Some examples are: incorrect tapselected on ballast, loose wires, wires shorting fromworn insulation, or a missing or defective capacitorbleed resistor.

6. Replace luminaire.

PREMATURE LAMP FAILURE - lamp burnout shortly afterinstallation.

DAY BURNING LAMP - the lamp burns in the fixture bothnight and day.

DIM BURNING LAMP - a dim burning or low-output fixture.

LAMP CYCLING - the normal end-of-life failure for HPSlamps. It is characterized by lamp starting then going out,then restarting, then going out, and so on. It is important toremedy this situation soon, as it will lead to eventual starterboard and ballast failure. Quite often, when you arrive atthe site, the lamp will appear to be working fine. You willneed to verify that the lamp is indeed cycling by bumpingthe pole and/or fixture to simulate environmental vibration(wind, road vibration, etc.). This bump test can best beaccomplished by striking the mounting pole with a shortpiece of lumber, or by actually bumping the fixture with yourhand. If the lamp is near the end of life, it will most likely besensitive to vibration, and will turn off when shocked orjarred.

OUTAGE - the light fails to come on.

ELIMINATING LIGHT INTRUSION

FIGURE 1 - LED FIXTUREROTATED ON ARM

5 - 10°ROTATION

The condition of undesired light from a roadway luminaire being directed or reflected onto a surface, is referred to aslight intrusion. The most common instance of light intrusion is when a customer is located downhill from the offendinglight source. A possible solution, may be to slightly rotate the luminaire on the pole arm so as to direct light away fromthe complaining party. This approach works best when using a cutoff luminaire, but its true effectiveness is still limitedby the angle of intrusion (Fig. 1). Another approach is to tilt the fixture so that the light is directed away from thecomplaining party (Fig. 2).

Light shields are available from various luminaire manufacturers (Fig. 3).

FIGURE 2 - LED FIXTURETILTED ON ARM

5 - 10°ROTATION

In the most extreme case, it may be necessary to relocate/remove the light or inform the complaining party that nothingcan be done. Either of these solutions should be avoided if at all possible in an effort to limit additional customerexpense and/or any negative feelings between neighbors and the utility.

ALUMINUM STREET LIGHT POLE REPLACEMENT GUIDELINES

The critical location for strength in an aluminum lighting pole is typically at the shaft material within 1 inch of the base weld and handhole weld. Therefore, areas near the base of the shaft but not within 1 inch of a weld have some reserve strength and minor dents can be tolerated. However, any sharp discontinuities in the shaft material make the material susceptible to fatigue and for the same reason any tears or cracks cannot be tolerated. Any pole with torn, split, cracked or sharply creased material should be replaced. The welds should be examined and if any are cracked, the pole should be replaced. For these reasons, we believe that pole 4663 (see below) should be okay based on the dent depth. However, it should be replaced if cracked, deeply grooved, or if the welds are cracked. The other poles in the following photos – numbers 4662, 4661, 12496, and 8337 should be replaced.

RF Emissions Compliance

Site Name: Configuration: Type G Pole Address: N/A Latitude: 39.758669

Longitude: -104.87144

Proposed Modification proposes to install as a Type G Pole. The assessment of Radio

Frequency (RF) Emissions Compliance for the Type G Pole has been provided to the for reference, and provides information about predicted RF exposure conditions at the base of the pole and near the antennas.

Site Location The location of the pole relative to surrounding buildings is depicted in Figure 1. All adjacent buildings or potential elevated work areas are beyond the safety distance associated with the FCC exposure limits specified in the attached RF Emissions Compliance Report.

Figure 1: Antenna Location

Compliance Status Based on the assessment and conformance to the technical operating parameters and siting plan for Type G Pole, the site will be compliant with FCC RF Exposure Rules.

I, David Born, can attest to that, at the time of site survey, is unaware of any other collocated antenna structures in the vicinity that could contribute to the aggregate MPE levels to exceed the general population limit on the ground.

Radio Frequency Emissions Compliance Report Site: Type G Pole Report Date: January 6, 2020

Compliance Statement Based on information provided by and predictive modeling, the Type G Pole installation proposed by will be compliant with Radiofrequency Radiation Exposure Limits of 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.1307(b)(3) and 1.1310. The proposed operation will not expose members of the General Public at groundlevel or in adjacent buildings to hazardous levels of RF energy.

Certification I, Steven N. Baier-Anderson, am the reviewer and approver of this report and am fully aware of and familiar with the Rules and Regulations of both the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) with regard to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation, specifically in accordance with FCC’s OET Bulletin 65. I have reviewed this Radio Frequency Exposure Assessment report and believe it to be both true and accurate to the best of my knowledge.

General Summary to conduct a Radio Frequency Electromagnetic

Compliance assessment of the proposed Type G Pole installation to be deployed within the This report contains information about the radio telecommunications equipment to be installed at this site and the surrounding environment with regard to RF Hazard compliance. This assessment is based on installation designs and operational parameters provided by

The compliance framework is derived from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations for preventing human exposure in excess of the applicable Maximum Permissible Exposure (“MPE”) limits. At any location at this site, the power density resulting from each transmitter may be expressed as a percentage of the frequency-specific limits and added to determine if 100% of the exposure limit has been exceeded. The FCC Rules define two tiers of permissible exposure differentiated by the situation in which the exposure takes place and/or the status of the individuals who are subject to exposure. General Population / Uncontrolled exposure limits apply to those situations in which persons may not be aware of the presence of electromagnetic energy, where exposure is not employment-related, or where persons cannot exercise control over their exposure. Occupational / Controlled exposure limits apply to situations in which persons are exposed as a consequence of their employment, have been made fully aware of the potential for exposure, and can exercise control over their exposure. Based on the criteria for these classifications, the FCC General Population limit is considered to be a level that is safe for continuous exposure time. The FCC General Population limit is 5 times more restrictive than the Occupational limits.

In situations where the predicted MPE exceeds the General Population threshold in an accessible area as a result of emissions from multiple transmitters, FCC licensees that contribute greater than 5% of the aggregate MPE share responsibility for mitigation.

Based on the computational guidelines set forth in FCC OET Bulletin 65, has developed software to predict the overall Maximum Permissible Exposure possible at any location given the spatial orientation and operating parameters of multiple RF sources. The power density in the Far Field of an RF source is specified by OET-65 Equation 5 as follows:

𝑆𝑆 = 𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸4⋅𝜋𝜋⋅𝐸𝐸2

(mW/cm2)

where EIRP is the Effective Radiated Power relative to an isotropic antenna and R is the distance between the antenna and point of study. Additionally, consideration is given to the manufacturers’ horizontal and vertical antenna patterns as well as radiation reflection. At any location, the predicted power density in the Far Field is the spatial average of points within a 0 to 6 foot vertical profile that a person would occupy. Near field power density is based on OET-65 Equation 20 stated as

𝑆𝑆 = �180𝜃𝜃𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵

� ⋅100 ⋅ 𝑃𝑃𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝜋𝜋 ⋅ 𝑅𝑅 ⋅ ℎ (mW/cm2)

where Pin is the power input to the antenna and h is the aperture length.

These theoretical results represent worst-case predictions as emitters are assumed to be operating at 100% duty cycle. Additionally, some antennas employ beamforming technology where RF energy allocated to each customer device is dynamically directed toward their location. In the analysis presented herein, predicted exposure levels are based on all beams at full utilization (i.e. full power) simultaneously focused in any direction. As this condition is unlikely to occur, the actual power density levels at ground and at adjacent structures will be less that the levels reported below.

Analysis proposes the following installation at these locations:

• Replace existing pole with new dual technology• Antennas mounted on

From these sites, will enhance existing 1900 and 2100 MHz voice and data services to surrounding areas with 3.5, 5.7 and 28 GHz operations. The antennas will be mounted on a 36.7-foot replacement as depicted in Table 2. Other appurtenances such as cabling, radios and other equipment below the antennas are not sources of RF emissions. Only operations at these locations were considered in this analysis.

On the pole, predicted MPE levels will exceed the FCC General Population limits within 13 feet in front of the antennas and within 3 feet below the lower antennas as depicted in Figure 2. Predicted MPE levels will exceed the FCC Occupational limits within 4.5 feet in front of the antennas and above the bottoms of the lower antennas. Siting design requires that no elevated work areas or adjacent buildings are located within this region. As the pole supports lighting fixtures that may be access by maintenance personnel, RF alerting signage is required to be posted on the pole. Only authorized personnel trained in RF safety and working under an established RF safety plan will access elevated work areas near the antennas.

The antennas to be mounted at these sites are highly directional by design and emissions below the antennas may be 100 times less than emissions in front. The antenna directivity serves to reduce the potential to exceed MPE limits at any location other than directly in front of the antennas. Additionally, RF power density decreases with the inverse square of distance from any antenna. These effects are depicted in Figure 1 which shows that antenna directivity and mounting height results in RF exposure conditions at ground-level that are well below the FCC General Population limits. The proposed operations will not expose members of the General Public at ground level or in adjacent buildings to hazardous levels of RF energy. For areas beyond the 100% MPE zone shown in Figure 2, no special action is required to maintain a safe environment and there is no time limit for activities in these regions.
