INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

using an IP68 box

Radiar ARD32 room controllers can be packed within an IP rated junction box to install in the wet locations

Open the IP68 enclosure and remove the connectors and locknut using screw driver Take the electrical wire of 18AWG and cut in to 4 pcs (8-10cm) for AC line, Neutral, DALI+, DALI- respectively
Insert one end of the wires into the 221-412 series Wago connector
Connect the other end of the wire in to the device connector (AC line, Neutral, DALI+, DALI-) respectively
Connect the 130mm wire antenna into the antenna connector
Paste the double-sided tape on the backside of the device and ﬁx it within the enclosure
Remove the grommet from the connector-1 and insert the AC line, Neutral wires from the mains into the enclosure. Now connect the connector with the enclosure using the locknut
Connect the Line and Neutral wires from the mains with the Line and Neutral wires of the DALI controller using the Wago connectors to power the controller
Insert the DALI+ and DALI- from the drivers into the enclosure through the connectors and connect it with the DALI+ and DALI- of the device using Wago connectors to control the driver. Once the wires are in, tighten the connector with lock nut
Take out the 130mm wire antenna from the enclosure via the connector for better communication. Similarly connect the AC input lines with the controllers to power it
Cover the enclosure with the face plate /lid using screws

Connect the wire antenna onto the antenna connector in the device
Open the box and fix the device into it using a double-sided tape
Take in the DALI wires from the driver through the connector on the box and connect them to the DALI push-in connectors on the device. Also, take out the wire antenna through the same connector
Take in the AC wires from the Mains through a connector (in the box) and connect to the AC Line(Brown) and AC Neutral(Blue) push-in connectors in the device.
Cover the box with using screws
Fix this box onto a flat surface

Wiring

Connecting DALI drivers to the Radiar ARD32 controlle
Connecting 0-10V drivers to the Radiar ARD32 controller (in 0-10V mode)

Connecting an external sensor with 0-3V output to the Radiar ARD32 controller using a Molex connector

Steps involved

Radiar ARD32 room controllers can be connected with DT6 (dimmable/single channel drivers) and DT8 (tunable/multi-channel drivers) Steps involved

Connect the Line and Neutral wires from the mains into the AC Line and AC Neutral
connector of the DALI Room Controller
Similarly power the drivers from the mains supply by connecting the Line and Neutral
wires into the Line and Neutral wires/connectors of driver
To control the drivers, connect the DALI+ and DALI- wire from the nearest driver to the
DALI+ and DALI- connectors of the controller. (DALI lines are polarity insensitive)
Run the DALI+ and DALI- wires from one driver to the next driver’s DALI+ and DALIconnectors/wires. Up to 32 drivers can be connected to Radiar ARD32 controller. (Ensure the DALI cable runs not beyond 300m max from the starting point.)

WARNING – Risk of Burn or Fire

Do not exceed maximum wattage, ratings, or published operation conditions of product
Do not overload
Follow all manufacturer’s warnings, recommendations and restrictions to ensure proper operation of produc

Application

Troubleshooting

When returning from a Power Outage, lights go back to ON state.| This is normal operation. Our device has a fail-safe feature forcing the device to go to 50% or 100% and 0-10V at the full output on the loss of power. Alternatively, the device will return to its previous state after the power is restored, as conﬁgured using the Lumos Controls mobile app.
---|---
Device doesn’t operate immediately after power ON| Check whether you have set up a transition time
Lights ﬂickering|

The connection is not appropriate
The wires are not secured ﬁrmly with connectors

Lights did not turn ON|

Circuit breaker tripped
Fuse has blown
Inappropriate wiring

Commissioning

Once powered up, the device will be ready to be commissioned via the Lumos Controls mobile app, available for free download on iOS and Android. To begin commissioning, click the ‘+’ icon from the top of the ‘Devices’ tab. The app allows you to preset certain conﬁgurations which will be loaded after the device is added. The pre-conﬁgurations made using ‘Commissioning Settings’ will be sent to the devices being commissioned.

Once commissioned, the device will be displayed in the ‘Devices’ tab and you can perform individual operations like ON/OFF/dimming on it from this tab.
