Please read before installing

The WaveLinx Wired panels are designed, built and tested to strict safety regulations. By following the steps listed below and elsewhere within this guide, you can ensure safe installation and operation of these controller units.

• The WaveLinx Wired cabinet must be installed only by a qualified electrician
• For continued protection against shock hazard replace all covers and guards after field wiring is completed.
• The installation must comply with the appropriate electrical codes and regulations in force in your area
• The installation must comply with the appropriate electrical codes and regulations in force in your area
• WaveLinx Wired is designed for indoor installation and use only. The units can, however, be used to control appropriately certified exterior lighting fixtures
• Ensure that all wiring used conforms fully to local specifications and is sufficiently rated for the installation

Ensure that all modules are firmly seated on the DIN rails before beginning field wiring. To reset a module simply pull the black tab(s) away from the DIN rail, push down on the side of the module with the tab and allow the tabs to snap back into place

• All new wiring must be fully verified before applying power
• The high voltage supply should be fed to the cabinet via an external isolation breaker with sufficient capacity for the planned installation.

Remove packaging material and discard before field wiring. This includes cardboard spacers in small cabinets and plastic tie wraps used on all SCMA0401 modules.

• Always use at least two people when lifting and mounting heavy or bulky units.
• Ensure that the supply is fully isolated at an external breaker before opening doors. Test that power has been removed before starting to handle conductors.
• Ensure that high voltage and low voltage wiring remains separate. The design of the cabinets should allow line voltage field wiring to exit and enter the knockouts provided at the top of the cabinet while low voltage wiring can exit and enter the  cabinet through knockouts at the bottom or lower sides of the  cabinets.

Important points for consideration

• The cabinets are designed for surface mounting. Please consult Cooper Lighting Solutions before attempting flush mounting.
• Use suitable conduits and couplers to link the raceways to the controller chassis.
• Allow adequate space for future maintenance of the unit. Do not install in a location that will later be difficult to access.
• Cabinets are designed to be mounted vertically.

5. Connect WaveLinx Wired network wiring
6. Clear all power circuit wiring for errors
7. Energize panel power circuit
8. Energize relay and lighting power circuits
9. Coordinate system startup

Mounting the enclosure

The WaveLinx Wired modules consist of an enclosure with interior DIN rail modules. Interior DIN rail modules include:

• SCMA0401-NA: 4 120V-277V dimmers

Note: Ensure at least three(3) inches of air space around the WaveLinx Wired enclosure. Location and spacing
The WaveLinx Wired models are all fully convection cooled; therefore it is vitally important to ensure that each unit is installed in a ventilated location that permits sufficient airflow and provides the correct operating conditions.
The cabinets do not contain fans. Allowing airflow around the panel will enhance the reliability and longevity of all models. Locating panels away from heat generating equipment will also benefit long term reliability. Also ensure that the stated ambient atmosphere requirements are not exceeded.
Ambient atmosphere requirements

• Temperature 32°F to 104°F (0° C to +40° C)
• Humidity 0 to 95% non-condensing

Mounting considerations

• A minimum of 14 inches (360 mm) must be maintained from the front of the chassis to any other components or walls. Please make sure to check and follow local code requirements if additional clearance is needed per code in your area
• Allow adequate space for future maintenance of the unit. Do not install in a location that will later be difficult to access
• The WaveLinx Wired panel is designed to be mounted vertically
• Use suitable conduits and couplers to link the raceways to the controller chassis

To mount the enclosure

1. Choose a dry location convenient to the circuit breaker panel that meets the operating temperature requirements.
2. Mount the panel on a firm surface using the predrilled holes.
3. Connect the enclosure to the circuit breaker panel using conduit.
4. Remove all cuttings and dirt.

Note:   Make certain that high voltage and low voltage load wiring enters the enclosure separately. High voltage wiring should be brought into the enclosure through the left and right sides or the top right and top left wiring channels. Low voltage wiring can be brought into the enclosure from the top-middle or bottom middle location of the enclosure.
Note: Ensure at least three(3) inches of air space around the WaveLinx Wired enclosure.

Wiring flow

All cabinets have been designed to provide a clear layout and logical progression for all power circuits.
The main supply conductors enter at the top panel. Input power is then fed to the modules inside the cabinet.
Field wiring for branch circuits that are connected to the SCMA modules also enter from the top of the cabinet. Ground connections are provided at the top of the cabinet for landing grounding conductors.
Note: Check the stated voltage rating of the controller before connecting to the supply and check that it matches the supply voltage. All cabinets are 120-277V universal input

Connecting the supply

The suggested entry point for the supply wiring is via the right most knockout on the top panel of the chassis. This provides immediate access to the circuit breaker that supplies the modules with power. Use a suitable conduit and coupler to feed  the source wiring safely into the chassis.
See the diagram below for connection details. The main earth terminal is located near to the neutral lug. The earth connection is bonded to the main backplane of the chassis and the outer panels.
Please consult the image below for details about the maximum permissible supply wire gauges for the various controller models.
Connecting 120V-277V AC dimmer loads
The AC dimmer modules (SCMA0401-NA) will be pre-mounted on interior DIN rail per the order specifications.
Prior to dimmer connection, test the load directly connected to the branch circuit breaker to verify there are no shorts. Remove all wire cuttings form the enclosure.
4 dimmer channels are provided on each SCMA0401-NA module. Channels 1+2 and 3+4 may be combined to provide larger load control. WaveLinx Wired programming software can be programmed to meet control configuration and requirements.
Prior to dimmer connection, test each load to verify there are no shorts. Remove all wire cuttings from the enclosure.
