Product Usage Instructions
Installation
To install the MAGNUM OPUS module, follow the steps below:
- Ensure you have all the necessary equipment for installation.
- Refer to the provided wiring diagrams to properly connect the module.
- Choose a suitable wireless mounting option based on your installation requirements.
Planning for Installation
If you are using the standard manual pairing process, refer to the “Learn
In Procedure” section in the user manual. If you prefer manual commissioning
with default settings, it is recommended toperform this process before
installation unless you have access to the buttons and device. For advanced
configuration using AirConfig, install the M9-USR-LM module as discussed and
perform the commissioning process with the device installed. Ensure that the
device is within wireless range.
Warnings & Cautions
Follow the technical specifications listed in the user manual to ensure proper
connections to the Lighting Control Module. Make sure that the ballast is
compatible with 0-10V dimming and that the wiring is correct.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with the MAGNUM OPUS module, refer to the
troubleshooting section in the user manual. For problems related to
lamps/luminaires not dimming or lighting load not switching ON/OFF, check the
compatibility of the ballast with 0-10V dimming and ensure proper wiring
connections to the module.
Ideal Product Placement
For optimal performance, consider the following recommendations for product
placement:
- Utility Boxes / Relay Panels : Create separation distance away from interfering electronics and fluorescent lighting ballasts.
- Junction Boxes: Maximize separation distance between wireless receiver and ballast and pull antenna outside of the fixture. Avoid placing wireless receiver and antenna within 6 inches of tube sockets.
- Lighting and HVAC – PTAC Units: Place the receiver inside and the antenna outside for better performance. The best placement is to have both the receiver and antenna outside.
Description
The M9-USR-LM Lighting Control Module responds to a variety of wireless
EnOcean devices to control and dim LED drivers, fluorescent ballasts, or other
switchable loads. The M9-USR-LM offers bi-directional, ON/OFF and 0-10V
dimming control when combined with a wireless light switch or automatic shut-
off when combined with a wireless occupancy sensor. Additionally, the Lighting
Control Module can perform occupancy-based setback dimming and self-contained
daylight harvesting functions. The M9-USR-LM can be paired to compatible
devices manually and for more sophisticated configuration, the MES software
tool airConfig is available for download call or email
info@magnumfirst.com to download the AirConfig
software. For manual pairing instructions, please refer to the M9-USR-LM
Installation Guide.

Equipment Needed for Installation
- Electrical tape
- Screwdriver

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”, email info@magnumfirst.com to request a copy of AirSpy. Requires USB 300U.
- If utilizing Mx-eBox (BACnet to IP) gateway, utilize BACnet point available for signal strength (RSSI)
- 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 M9-USR-LM 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 INSTALLATION 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.
- 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.
- Connect wires as shown in Figure A. Twist wire nuts on clockwise making sure no bare wires show. Wrap connections with electrical tape.
- Stow all wires in wiring box.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
Troubleshooting
| PROBLEM | WHAT TO CHECK |
|---|---|
| Lamps/luminaires do not dim | Make sure the ballast is compatible with 0-10V |
dim- ming. If the ballast is dimmable, yet the light does not dim, check to
ensure the Mx-USR-LM was wired proper- ly and that the 0-10V output is also
wired correctly.
Lighting load doesn’t switch ON/OFF| Check to be sure connections to Lighting
Control Module comply with the technical specifications listed on this
document.
