Installation
We recommend that the installation of this controller be performed by a qualified
professional.
Choosing the location:
The enclosure must be mounted on a vertical surface, in an area that will provide
sufficient airflow to the heat sinks. We recommend you leave 6 inches (15 centimeters)
above and below the heat sinks, free of anything that could block the flow of air
through the heat sinks. If the enclosure is confined without enough air reaching
through the heat sinks, they could overheat and cause some damage to the controller.
As a precaution, make sure to check and remove any dust or spider webs, etc, that
could reduce the airflow through the heat sinks.
Choosing Mains Voltage: The system is powered from zone 1. If you are using only
one zone, you must use zone 1. Both zones can be powered from different voltages at
the same time. Check the operating voltage of your lamps, and use that same voltage
to power the corresponding zone. This system is designed to automatically adapt to
voltages ranging from 100VAC to 260VAC, at 50Hz or 60Hz.
Warning: On a tri-phase installation, it is imperative that both zones are connected to
the same phase.
Connection of the controlled lighting system:
Each power output can provide up to 10 Amps for your lights. For higher durability, it is
recommended to load the circuit to a maximum of 80% of its total capacity, or 8 amps
in this case. All the lights must be connected in parallel, and are connected to the
controller’s power output. Don’t use a neutral from the electrical panel for the lights,
instead use the L2/N terminal next to the power output terminal. See wiring diagram.
Never connect bypass switches between the controller output and the lights,
this will damage the controller. Do not plug or unplug lights to / from the
controller while power is on.
External Devices:
The 0-10V inputs allow receiving a control voltage from an external master controller.
The 0-10V outputs allow sending a control voltage to an external slave system. When
connecting an external device, be sure to check the +/- polarity of the 0-10V
connections. Also, limit the length of these connections to avoid ground loop issues
and induced interference in these wires.
