What you need
Lightcloud Gateway
A Lightcloud installation requires at least one Lightcloud Gateway to manage
your devices.
Setup & Installation
1a Find a Suitable Location
Use these guidelines when installing devices:
- If there is a clear line of sight between two Lightcloud devices, they can be placed up to 1000 feet apart.
- If the two devices are separated by ordinary drywall construction, try to keep them within 100 ft. of each other.
- Brick, concrete and steel construction may require additional Lightcloud devices to go around the obstruction.
2 Install your Lightcloud Sensor
INSTALL AT A JUNCTION BOX °INDOOR/OUTDOOR˛
The Sensor can control other Lightcloud devices, wirelessly. If you don’t need
to hard-wire a switched circuit to the Sensor, no problem—just tie the
white/red wire to neutral and cap o˝ any unused wires. 3 Installing Accessories
(Optional)
Arm: Mount sensor to fixture using ½” NPS threaded nipple
Height Adjuster:
Adjust height by loosening set screw, moving sensor up or down along extruded
tube, then tightening set screw. Ensure Sensor lens is not blocked by any part
of the fixture.
4 Wiring SWITCHED NEUTRAL
The “Switched Neutral” white with red stripe wire is the neutral line for the
load being switched. This enables power measurement. See the Power Measurement
section under “Functionality” for more information.
Any wires not in use must be capped off or otherwise insulated.
This product should only be installed by a qualified electrician and in
compliance with local and national electrical codes.
5 Labeling your device
When installing devices, it’s important to keep track of their Device IDs,
installation locations, panel/circuit #s, dimming function, and any additional
notes. To organize this information, use the Lightcloud Installer Application
(A) or Device Table (B).
5a Lightcloud Installer Application
Install the LC Installer Application: LC Installer is available for iOS
and Android.
Scan & Install Lightcloud Devices: Scan each device and assign to a room.
It’s recommended that each device is scanned just before or just after being
wired so no devices are missed. The more notes that are given, the easier it
is to commission the system.
Send to RAB: Once all of the devices have been added and organized,
submit the information for commissioning. 5b Device Table For
setup and maintenance, we provide two Lightcloud Device Tables with the
Gateway: one that you can attach to your panel and one to hand o˝ to a
building manager. Attach the Device Identification stickers included witheach
device to a row, then write in additional information, such as Zone name,
Panel/Circuit Number, and whether or not a zone uses dimming.
6 Power up
To add new devices to your Lightcloud network, contact RAB:

7 Verify power and local control
Confirm status indicator LED (see step 8) is blinking red. If the Sensor is
wired for local control, double press the device button to toggle the load on
and o˝. Double press and hold the device button to dim the load. If the status
indicator isn’t blinking red or the load isn’t functioning properly, turn o˝
power at the breaker and check your wiring.
8 Place cover
Secure cover onto sensor by pushing up and twisting to the right
(clockwise). 9 Commission & Configure Your Devices
All Lightcloud products can be commissioned and configured by:
- Logging on to control.lightcloud.com
- Calling RAB at 1 (844) LIGHTCLOUD
- Emailing us at support@lightcloud.com
10 Confirm Device Connectivity
Confirm status indicator LED (see step 8) is solid green. If it is not, make
sure your device is within range of another Lightcloud AC-powered device.
Functionality
Overview STATUS INDICATOR:
- Solid GREEN when connected to your Lightcloud network
- Blinking RED when not connected to a Lightcloud network. The device will automatically continue trying to connect to a network that is in Setup Mode.
POWER INDICATOR:
Illuminated when powered. Blinking when indicated from the Lightcloud
application.
SIGNAL INDICATOR:
After the Device Button has been pressed, this indicator illuminates when the
device receives a message and indicates the strength of the signal.
3 – Best Signal
2 – Acceptable Signal
1 – Unacceptable Signal
Consult the “Finding a Location” section for more information.
DEVICE BUTTON:
- Press once to highlight this device in the Lightcloud Application (pressing once also enables display of the Signal Indicators)
- Press twice to toggle circuit on and o˝
- Press twice and hold to set dim level
- Press and hold for 10 seconds to remove this device from a Lightcloud network
MOTION INDICATOR:
Illuminates when motion is detected
SENSOR:
Passive-infrared motion sensor
Features: Passive Infrared Motion Detection Features
OCCUPANCY & VACANCY SENSING:
The Lightcloud Sensor can operate in either Occupancy or Vacancy Sensor modes,
selectable via the Lightcloud application. In Occupancy mode, the attached
circuit will be switched on when motion is detected, and o˝ (or dimmed) when
the timeout expires. In Vacancy mode, the attached circuit will be turned o˝
when the motion timeout expires, but will only be turned on via the Lightcloud
application, Lightcloud Wall Switch, or similar. Motion detection and timeout
can still be used via Lightcloud Automations to control other devices.
CONTROLLER MODE:
In Controller Mode, the attached circuit is controllable as an independent
zone in the Lightcloud application. Motion detection and timeout can still be
used via Lightcloud Automations to control other devices.
RANGE TEST MODE:
When Range Test Mode is activated via the Lightcloud application, the timeout
period is shortened so that you can test di˝erent sensitivities quickly. All
indicators will go o˝ except for the Motion Indicator. When satisfied, turn o˝
Range Test Mode to continue normal operation.
Features
0˝10V DIMMING:
0-10V is a common method of low-voltage control of dimmable drivers and
ballasts.
PURPLE: 0-10V positive | PINK: 0-10V common
Note: The National Electrical Code requires that low-voltage wiring used
in the same enclosure as high voltage wiring have an equal or better
insulation rating. You may need to complete your low-voltage wiring in another
enclosure or use a partition.
DEVICE IDENTIFICATION:
For help with installation, there are two ways to identify this device:
- Pressing the Device Button on the actual product will produce a message in the Lightcloud application indicating which device you are working with.
- Pressing the “Indicate” button in the Lightcloud application will cause the device’s Status Indicator to blink green. This will also switch the device’s relay on and o˝ repeatedly, allowing you to quickly identify which circuit it is.
POWER MEASUREMENT:
The Lightcloud Sensor is capable of measuring the power usage of the attached
circuit. In order to utilize this function, the neutral wire of the load must
be connected to the white-red switched neutral wire. If this wire is not used,
it should be tied to the regular neutral wire (i.e. all neutral wires joined).
POWER LOSS DETECTION:
If power to the Sensor is lost, the device will detect this and alert the
Lightcloud application.
EMERGENCY DEFAULT:
If communication is lost, the Sensor may optionally fall back to a specific
state, such as turning the attached circuit on. This may be configured via the
Lightcloud application or by calling RAB.
FCC Information:
