Equipment Needed for Installation

• Electrical tape

• Screwdriver

• Wire nuts

• For advanced configuration, additional equipment is required, including laptop, USB 300U (available for order from MES) and AirConfig, which is available for free download at http://download.magnumes.net

Planning for Installation

• Take a moment to prepare for installation and ensure optimal communications with other system components in the space

• To assess signal strength prior to and during installation, you can utilize the following:

  • MES’s free range testing tool “AirSpy”, aemail info@magnumfirst.com for a copy of AirSpy Requires USB 300U.
    (RSSI)

  • If utilizing Mx-EBOXs (BACnet to IP) gateway, utilize BACnet point available for signal strength

• Always utilize a qualified installer

• Straighten antenna out and away from any surrounding metal

• Create separation distance between interfering electronics such as fluorescent tube ends, ballasts, electronic transformers, and motors. Avoid mounting inside of metal enclosures.

• Obstructions of metal, concrete and dense building materials will reduce the range. Mount higher and away from obstructions to maximize range.

In applications using HVAC units a Relay Contactor is required for the units per AMP rating.
If following the standard, manual pairing process, please refer to the “Learn In Procedure” section at the end of this document. If manual with default settings is the preferred method of commissioning, it is recommended this process be done prior to installation, unless access to buttons and device is possible.
For advanced configuration using AirConfig, install Mx-UTR-L3 as discussed and perform commissioning process with device installed. Make sure that device is still within wireless range.

Installation

COMMON APPLICATIONS:
WARNING: TO AVOID RISK OF FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH, TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE AND VERIFY THAT IT IS OFF BEFORE INSTALLATION BEGINS. MAKE SURE THAT IT REMAINS OFF UNTIL INSTALLA-TION IS COMPLETE. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT WITH THIS VERSION OF THE PRODUCT, IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE MULTIPLE BRANCH CIRCUITS FEEDING THE RELAY RECEIVER.

NOTE: Read the WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS section before beginning these installation options. Read all steps for this option before taking any action to install receiver.

1. For in-wall installation, a wiring box must be used. For ceiling installation make wire connections inside a junction box. Ensure that the temperature in the ceiling box will not exceed 50 degrees C. For best wireless signal performance install receiver in plastic box away from floor and away from metal objects.
2. Connect wires as shown in Figure A. Twist wire nuts on clockwise making sure no bare wires show. Wrap connections with electrical tape.
3. Stow all wires in wiring box.
4. Restore power and follow instructions under the “Setting Up Your Device via airConfig” section at the end of this document, or follow manual pairing procedures to use default settings.
5. To test that the device is working, press and release SW1. This will toggle ON/OFF. (If receiver is not working, review wiring and programming instructions).
6. Finish any installation of fixture or wall switch.

Warnings & Cautions

• HIGH VOLTAGE: A qualified installer or electrician must install this device. Follow all applicable electrical codes for installation.
• Relays and receivers are intended for INDOOR use only, in dry locations with permanently installed fixtures
• This device is suitable for a circuit capable of delivering not more than 20 AMP maximum
• Be sure not to install this device in locations where the units are in close proximity to the light bulbs or other sources of heat, particularly with high wattage loads.
• When using relays to switch a motor, overload and over current protection sized for the motor load should be provided at the branch circuit feeder supplying the motor in accordance with the NEC or CEC, as applicable for the installation location
• The maximum over current protection required for the branch circuit supplying this product is 20 AMPS. When one or more motors are installed and not internally protected then an overload protective device sized at not more than 115% of the motor full load AMPS should be installed for each motor.
• When using devices to control motors and HVAC equipment, which don’t respond well to the ON/OFF cycling that occurs in the “learn” mode, it is advised to configure the receivers without the motor or HVAC load connected. Instead, program the products in advance by connecting them to a light or to another load that is safe when toggling on and off.

Learn In Procedure
It is important to mention that MF devices utilize a point to point wireless topology. The devices are meant to respond only to those devices that they have been paired with, effectively ignoring all other devices. This allows for many devices to be in the same space controlling a variety of different applications without cross-talk. The process outlined below is for manually pairing the Mx-UTR-L3 to compatible devices. Once complete, this device will only respond to the compatible devices you physically pair it with. Whether BASIC or ADVANCED is preferred, you can always use airConfig via a USB300U with airConfig call or email info@magnumfirst.com to down load the AirConfig software. See “Setting Up Your Device Via airConfig” at the end of this document.

1. To enter Learn Mode, press and hold SW1 for 5 seconds (Use non-metallic pin):

   • Both LEDs flash, then LED1 begins to blink indicating learn mode is active

2. Learning Devices:

   • To learn a Light Switch or Key Card,Press ON (Up) Light Switch 3 times quickly (within 3 seconds)
     For Key Card, insert card into reader 3 times quickly (withing 3 seconds)

   • LED1 goes solid for 2 seconds, indicating the switch is learned

   • LED1 then begins to blink indicating it has returned to learn mode for the next pairing

   • If there are more switches to learn in, repeat step “A”

   • To learn an Occupancy Sensor, press the learn button on the Occupancy Sensor

   • LED1 goes solid for 2 seconds, indicating the switch is learned

   • LED1 then begins to blink indicating it has returned to learn mode for the next pairing

   • To learn a Door Sensor, press the learn button on the Door Sensor while the contact is open

   • LED1 goes solid for 2 seconds, indicating the switch is learned

   • LED1 then begins to blink indicating it has returned to learn mode for the next pairing

   • IF ALL DESIRED DEVICE ARE LEARNED-IN, PRESS SW1 TO END LEARN MODE

   • LED1 goes solid for 2 seconds

   • LED1 turns off

   • PRESS SW2 TO EXIT LEARN MODE

   • LED2 goes solid for 2 seconds

   • LED2 turns off

3. Both LEDs flash indicating it has returned to Operational Mode

4. Clear All: NOTE: this removes all paired devices from memory and cannot be undone.

5.  Press and hold both SW1 and SW2 simultaneously for 10 seconds

6. LED1 LED2 both begin to flash

7. Press both SW1 and SW2 again within 10 seconds to clear all

  * Without a press within those 10 seconds, the relay will return to normal operation and cancel clear all

5. Once cleared, LED1 and LED2 will go solid and relay will turn OFF
6. Relay will remain in the off state since no IDs learned in to control it
7. Verify Clear all by pressing Switch without toggling ON/OFF state of Relay
   Verify Clear all by pressing Learn Button on Occupancy Sensor and LEDs do not blink
   Please repeat the “Clear All” process if the Switch or Occupancy Sensor is not cleared.
