CONTROLLING LIGHTCLOUD BLUE DEVICE

1. Confirm your device is powered on.
2. Download the Lightcloud Blue app from the Apple® App Store or Google Play™ store.
3. Launch the App and create an account or log in.
4. Tap the “add device” icon in the app to start connecting devices.
5. Follow the remaining steps in the app. Create Areas and Groups and add Scenes to organize and control your devices.

ENABLE DEVICE PAIRING MODE

• If your Lightcloud Blue Low Voltage Controller+Sensor is already paired there are various options to choose from to return the device to the default factory settings.

Method 1: Delete from the App
Open the app and access the device settings for the paired device. Be sure that the device is online with a strong connection and select ‘Delete’. The fixture will flash 3x, then reset to 100% brightness.
Method 2: Rapid Reset Tool
The Rapid Reset process must be done by a professional electrician qualified by RAB. Reach out to your RAB sales manager to request a Rapid Reset Tool. The tool simply needs to be placed directly on the side of the device for 2s or until the fixture flashes 3x, then resets to 100% brightness.

BRACKET RAAS INSTALLATION

Connect the Low Voltage Controller/Sensor to the Bracket (RAAS): Unscrew the 1/2” knockout on the Bracket (RAAS) with a screwdriver and screw on the Low Voltage Controller/Sensor. Connect the Bracket (RAAS) to a 1/2” knockout on a compatible fixture. Follow the wiring instructions as shown in Fig. 14.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Check that the line voltage at the fixture is correct. Refer to the wiring diagram.
2. Be sure the fixture is grounded properly.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Be sure the fixture temperature is cool enough to touch.
Do not clean or maintain while the fixture is energized.

1. Clean polycarbonate lens with a non-abrasive cleaning solution.
2. Do not open the fixture to clean the LEDs. Do not touch the LEDs.

BATTERY BACKUP MODELS

WIRING

• CAUTION: FOR BATTERY BACKUP FIXTURE. Voltage can be present in the BATTERY. To prevent high voltage from being present on output leads, the Inverter connector must be open. Do not join the BATTERY connector until installation is complete.
• NOTE: Make sure that the necessary branch circuit wiring is available. An UNSWITCHED AC source of power is required.
• The emergency driver must be fed from the same branch circuit as the LED driver. Reference Fig.15 for the wiring diagram. For Battery Backup Modes with BRACKET (RAAS) reference wiring diagram as shown in Fig. 17.
• CAUTION: Do not use any supply voltage other than 120-277V. 50/60 Hz.

1. Connect UNSWITCHED HOT fixture lead to HOT AC supply line.
2. If using an UNSWITCHED circuit, connect UNSWITCHED and SWITCHED lines together.
3. If using a SWITCHED circuit, connect the SWITCHED HOT lead to the switch.
4. For 0-10V dimming, connect DIM (+) purple and DIM (-) pink leads to a 0-10V dimming connection.
5. All unused leads must be capped and insulated.
6. When power is on, the fixture should be on and the CHARGING INDICATOR LIGHT should illuminate to indicate the battery is charging.
7. Once the BATTERY has charged for at least one hour, a short-duration test may be performed by pressing the Test Button as shown in Fig. 16.
8. After the battery has charged for 24 hours, a long-duration test can be performed by disconnecting power to the fixture.

OPERATION

1. When AC power is applied the charging indicator light is illuminated indicating that the BATTERY is being charged.
2. When power fails the standby power automatically switches to emergency power (internal battery) operating at reduced illumination.
3. When AC power is restored the emergency driver automatically returns to charging mode.

MAINTENANCE

Although no routine maintenance is required to keep the emergency driver functional, it should be checked periodically to ensure that it is working. The following schedule is recommended:

1. Visually inspect the charging indicator light monthly. It should be illuminated
2. Test the emergency operation of the fixture at 30-day intervals for a minimum of 30 seconds.
3. Conduct a 90-minute discharge test once a year. The fixture would operate at reduced illumination for a minimum of 90 minutes.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Be sure the fixture is grounded properly.
2. If the charging indicator light does not illuminate after pressing and releasing the Test Button (Fig. 16), check the power and check if the battery is connected properly.
