Product Information

The DIM10-087-06-A Controller is a device with load ratings of 12 to 24VDC, +/-10%, with a maximum power consumption of 700mW. It operates in a humidity range of 10 to 90% (non-condensing). The controller must be installed in accordance with national, state, and local electrical codes and requirements.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Mounting: Place the controller in the desired location and secure it using #4 or M3-sized screws, using the mounting holes located on the back edge of the DIM10-08706-A.
2. Attaching the Antenna:
3. Ensure that the power is off. When handling the antenna cable, the technician must be grounded with a proper ground strap.
4. Remove the red rubber dust cover, washer, and nut from the antenna connector.
5. Determine the best location for the external antenna position and create an opening to mount the antenna and bulkhead.
6. Feed the bulkhead through the opening in the fixture. The recommended maximum thickness of the fixture wall is 6mm or 0.25 inches.
7. Place the washer and nut back on the antenna connector and secure it to the fixture.

24. Connect the COMMON/DALI- or COMMON/DIM- based on the LED driver being used to the COMMON/DIM- (BLACK) wire of the DIM10-087-06-A.

PRECAUTION

WARNING AND CAUTIONS:

• TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH: TURN OFF THE POWER AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE AND TEST THAT POWER IS OFF BEFORE INSTALLING!
• PROPER GROUNDING REQUIRED TO AVOID STATIC DISCHARGE WHICH CAN DAMAGE CONTROLLERS DURING INSTALLATION.
• If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult an electrician; all work should be performed by qualified personnel.
• Disconnect power at the circuit breaker or fuse when servicing, installing, or removing fixtures or changing lamps.

CAUTION
DIM10-087-06-A controllers must be installed in accordance with national, state, and local electrical codes and requirements.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Below are some recommendations for successful dimming using the DIM10-087-06-A. The dimming control wires are referenced as DIM+ and DALI-/COM. The dimming signals have a Maximum voltage of 10V DC.

• Do not ground the DALI-/COM wire to the chassis ground; this is a return signal and is critical for proper dimming.
• Route dimming wires away from AC lines if possible.
• Maximum of 4 DALI-2/D4i LED Drivers per controller for DALI-2/D4i Designs.
• Maximum 0f 8 DIM to OFF LED Drivers for DIM to OFF Designs.
• Do not mount to a heatsink or to an LED driver.
• When installing the DIM10-087-06-A into an enclosure, consideration of the external antenna position and interference is required to provide the most optimum wireless signal strength. Prior to permanently mounting it, make sure the antenna points directly upward or downward and is free of any metal objects within 2 in. of the antenna (Figure 1).

NOTE: LED Driver must support DIM to OFF functionality.

INSTALLATION

Figure 1 – Proper Antenna Installation

NEEDED MATERIALS

• Mounting Hardware: (2) #4 or M3 screws recommended.
• Antenna Kit: For available antenna options please refer to our latest documents located on our website. www.synapsewireless.com/documentation.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

• WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR
• DEATH: TURN OFF POWER AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE AND VERIFY THAT POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING!

MOUNTING

1. Place the controller in the desired location and secure it using #4 or M3-sized screws using the mounting holes located on the back edge of the DIM10-087- 06-A.
   ATTACHING THE ANTENNA

2. Make sure the power is off. When handling the antenna cable, the technician must be grounded with a proper ground strap.

3. Remove the red rubber dust cover, the washer, and the nut from the antenna connector.

4. Determine the best location for the external antenna position and create an opening to mount the antenna and bulkhead (See Figure 2 for measurements).

5. Feed the bulkhead through the opening in the fixture. (Note: Recommended max thickness of fixture wall is 6mm or 0.25 inches. This allows enough threads on the outside of the fixture for a good antenna connection.)

6. Place the washer and the nut back on the antenna connector and secure to fixture.

7. Screw on the antenna hand tight. Tighten a 1/4 turn with a pair of needle nose pliers. Do not over-tighten or the RF pin in the bulkhead will crack, creating poor RF link quality.

   • WIRING THE DIM10-087-06-A CONTROLLER
   • Note: Unless specified, the connections to a standard Dim to Off LED driver and the DALI 2 LED driver are the same.

8. Connect the 12-24VDC Aux output from the LED driver to the (POWER = RED wire of the DIM10-087-06-A.

9. Connect the (COMMON/DIM- = BLACK) wire of the DIM10-087-06-A to the COMMON/DALI- or COMMON/DIM- based on the LED driver you have.
   CONNECTING SENSORS

   • Note: Steps 10-14 are for adding sensors to the DIM10-087-06-A controller; if you are not connecting sensors skip this section. There are two sensor inputs on the DIM10-087-06-A designed for low powered (24V DC) type sensors.
   • The (SENSOR A = BLUE) wire is used to connect sensor A.
   • The (SENSOR B = ORANGE) wire is used to connect sensor B.

10. Connect the sensor power wire to the AUX out on the LED driver (the LED driver powers the sensor).

11. Connect the sensor DALI-/COMMON to the COMMON/DALI- or COMMON/DIM- based on the LED driver you have.

12. Connect the sensor CTRL/Control wire to the (SENSOR A = BLUE) wire or the (SENSOR B = ORANGE) wire of the DIM10-087-06-A controller.

13. If you are using more than one sensor, then duplicate the installation as described above.

14. Sensors must be configured in software before they are functional in a SimplySnap system. (See Figures 3 and 4)
    CONNECTING THE DIMMING CIRCUIT

    • Note: Steps 15-17 are for connecting to a Standard Dim to Off LED driver; if you are using a DALI 2 LED driver skip to steps 18-20.

15. Connect the (DIM+ = PURPLE) wire from the DIM10-087-06-A to the DIM+ wire on the LED driver.

16. Connect the (COMMON/DIM- = BLACK) wire from the DIM10-087-06-A to the DIM- wire on the LED driver.

17. Cap unused (DALI- = BROWN) and (DALI+ = YELLOW) wires. (See Figure 3)

    • Note: Steps 18-20 are for connecting up to a DALI 2 LED driver.

18. Connect the DIM10-087-06-A (DALI- = BROWN) to the (COMMON/DIM- = BLACK) wire and to the COMMON/DALI- wire on the LED driver.

19. Connect the (DALI+ = YELLOW) wire from the DIM10-087-06-A to the LED driver DALI+.

20. Cap the unused (DIM+ = PURPLE) wire. (See Figure 4)

POWERING CONTROLLER

POWERING UP THE FIXTURE AND CONTROLLER
After connecting the Controller to the LED Driver and any sensors, make sure to cap any unused wires. Switch power on to the fixture. The light should turn on.

STATUS LED

Note: When the controller is powered the following colors indicate the current status.

• Red = No Network Found (Communication Lost)
• Blinking Green = Network Found, Controller Not Configured (Device not yet added to SimplySnap)
• Green = Network Found, Controller Configured (Normal Operation)

Refer to the SimplySnap User’s Manual for information on provisioning the DIM10-087-06-A.

WARNING:

• If a single Synapse controller is used to drive the DIM+ input of multiple LED drivers, then all of the DIM- lines from all drivers MUST be directly tied/shorted together to provide a common return/ground to the controller.
• Synapse will not warranty or be liable for designs with any other electronic means of coupling DIM- lines from multiple drivers.
