Failure to follow these instructions could cause damage to the equipment and voids the warranty.

WARNING AND CAUTIONS

• TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH; TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE AND TEST THAT POWER IS OFF BEFORE INSTALLATION!
• Risk of Electric Shock – More than one disconnect switch may be required to de-energize the equipment before servicing.
• To be installed and/or used in accordance with appropriate NEC, local electrical codes, and regulations.
• If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult an electrician; all work should be performed by qualified personnel.

WARNING AND CAUTIONS MULTI PHASE POWER

• On Multi-phase circuits, the DIM10-220 only switches one leg of power. Even though the light is not on, the 2nd phase that lands on the neutral wire is hot.
• If the LEDs of a luminaire have a slight glow when SimplySNAP instructs the DIM10-220 to turn off the power, the other phase is still hot. The LED glow is caused by voltage potential created by the LED driver and the LED array. This is not a function of the control device. This is an isolation issue with the LED circuit.

Controller Part Numbers

• DIM10-220-F (with internal antenna)
• DIM10-220 (with external antenna cable and Female RPSMA bulkhead connector, antenna not included).

Included Hardware

• DIM10-220-F (with internal antenna) includes main controller with attached wires and metal locknut for securing unit to a standard ½” knockout
• DIM10-220 (with external antenna) includes main controller with attached wires, antenna cable with bulkhead, dust cap, and mounting bracket.

Required Materials (Not included)

• If installing the DIM10-220, you will require a 50 OHM Terminator Plug for proper installation. Amphenol P/N 132360RP
• Wiring Connectors: All existing wiring connectors must be replaced with new UL listed wiring connectors. All wiring connectors must be correctly sized for the application and the number and the size of the electrical conductors.
• If installing a DIM10-220, you will require an external antenna.
• For more details and information about available antenna options, please check www.synapsewireless.com/documentation

For best RF performance and signal strength, do not mount this device inside a luminaire. Final installed controller should also be mounted with open space on 2 or more sides.

• Remove the metal locknut from controller unit.
• Feed the wires through a standard ½” knockout on a luminaire or junction box.
• Line up the controller with the ½” knockout and make sure the ½” NPT nipple is inserted completely.
• Place the metal lock nut over the wires. Thread the lock nut on the ½” NPT nipple of the controller.
• Complete the wiring according to the wiring instructions and wiring diagram included in this guide on page 3.

For the best RF signal strength and system performance, the DIM10-220-F hardware should be mounted vertically pointing up or down. If mounted horizontal, RF strength will be limited and can result in poor system performance.

DIM10-220 (Hardware with external antenna) Installation Option

There are two installation options for the DIM10-220.

• Option A – Inside a luminaire
• Option B – Inside a Light Pole
• Both options will require external antenna installation.

Installation- Inside a Luminaire

When handling the bulkhead connector, be careful not to touch the center pin to prevent static damage to the radio.

• When removing the DIM-220 from the box, attach the 50 OHM Terminator to the RP-SMA female bulkhead connector on the antenna cable. This component will protect the RF circuitry from static damage.
  Locate a suitable location inside the luminaire to mount the controller using the included bracket. Be sure to choose an interior surface and location that will not puncture the outer structure of the luminaire. Also keep in mind where the antenna will need to be installed.

• Find a suitable location for the antenna and drill a 1/4” hole for the antenna cable bulkhead.

• Temporarily remove the 50 Ohm terminator. Remove the star washer and nut from the bulkhead. Insert the antenna cable bulkhead through the 1/4” hole. Be careful not to touch the center pin to prevent static damage to the radio. Install the star washer and nut provided. Hand tighten the nut plus an additional ¼ turn. Attach the 50 Ohm terminator shown in Figure 1. This component will protect the RF circuitry from static damage.

• Complete the wiring according to the wiring instructions and wiring diagram included in the next section of this guide.

• When it is time to attach the antenna, touch a grounded surface, remove the 50 Ohm terminator and screw on the antenna hand tight. Tighten a ¼ turn with a pair of needle nose pliers. Do not overtighten or the RF pin in the bulkhead will crack, creating poor RF link quality.

• Orient antenna direction pointing straight up or straight down for maximum RF connectivity. See Figure 2.

Installation- Pole Hanging Option

Hanging pole kits are sold separately

• For more details about installing this controller inside a pole, please refer to the Hanging Pole Kit Installation Guide.
• For more information about available hanging pole kit options, please check www.synapsewireless.com/documentation

Wiring Instructions and Wiring Diagram

WARNING

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

INSTALLATION AC POWER

1. Connect the electrical service black wire (hot) to the black wire (Line) on the DIM10-220.

2. Connect the black wire of the LED driver to the red wire (load) output on the DIM10-220.

3. Connect the electrical service white wire (neutral) to the white wire on the DIM10-220 And the neutral wire of the luminaire.
   DIMMING CONTROL

4.  (Dimmer leads are to be connected to 18AWG conductors in the field)

5.  Connect the DIM+ wire on the LED driver to the purple wire DIM+ wire on the DIM10-220.

6. Connect the DIM- wire on the LED driver to the gray wire DIM- wire on the DIM10-220.
   SENSOR WIRING
   

7. Connect the DIM10-220 blue wire sensor input to the sensor control/output connection of the sensor.

8. Connect the DIM10-220 white/blue (common) to the Common (ground) connection on the sensor.

9. Connect the DIM10-220 brown wire (sensor power) to the 24VDC power connection on the sensor.

DIMMING RECOMMENDATIONS
Below are some recommendations for successful dimming using the DIM10-220.

• Use appropriate gauge wire for the application. Dimmer leads are to be connected to 18AWG conductors in the field.
• Do not ground the DIM- wire. This is a return signal and is critical for dimming.
• When possible, route dimming wires away from AC lines

Wiring Instructions and Wiring Diagram- (Continued)

External Surge Protector is not provided, but highly recommended 10KV or higher

• The luminaire defaults ON. When power is applied to the luminaire the LEDS should turn on to full brightness. The dim signal should be at 10 VDC and the luminaire power should be full power across the Line to Neutral or Line to Line for 208 and 240VAC.
• Phase to Phase power is supported, however the controller only switches one phase.
• Refer to the SimplySNAP Resource on the Synapse website for provisioning.
