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
- Choose a dry location convenient to the circuit breaker panel that meets the operating temperature requirements.
- Mount the panel on a firm surface using the predrilled holes.
- Connect the enclosure to the circuit breaker panel using conduit.
- 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.
3 INCH SPACE AROUND ENCLOSURE PANEL
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.
