4 Power up
To add your Lightcloud Dimmer to your system, enable Setup Mode via the Lightcloud application or call RAB at 1 844-544-4825. When the

Setup & Installation (contd)
3 Labeling your device

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 off to a building manager. Attach the Device Identification stickers included with each device to a row, then write in additional information, such as Zone name, Panel/Circuit Number, and whether or not a zone uses dimming.

Wiring

CAUTION

• Use an only copper wire.
• Do not operate with the faceplate removed.
• This product should only be installed by a qualified electrician and in compliance with local and national electrical codes.
• This product should only be installed in a UL-approved single gang wall-box enclosure.
• Indoor use only.

Finding a suitable location
Lightcloud uses a wireless mesh network to connect devices such as the Dimmer to the Gateway. Unlike a WiFi router, each Lightcloud device may connect another device to the network. 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 feet of each other. Brick, concrete, and steel construction may require additional AC-powered Lightcloud devices to go around the obstruction. See the Deployment section of your Gateway for more information.
2d Snap the faceplate onto the faceplate bracket.

Setup & Installation (contd)
2 Install the Lightcloud Dimmer (cont’d)
2c Use the two 6-32 5/16″ Phillips flat-head screws provided to secure the faceplate bracket to the Dimmer.
