Setup & Installation

  1. Turn Off Power

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.
  1. Install your Lightcloud Controller
    2a Install at a Junction Box (Indoor/Outdoor)

    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.
    2b At Lighting Panel or Trough
    At Lighting Panel or Trough
    Space and code allowing, you may install Lightcloud devices directly in your breaker box or lighting panel. Alternatively, break out lighting circuits and install Lightcloud devices in a separate trough.
    Unswitched Power

  2. 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).
    3a Lightcloud Installer Application
    Install the LC Installer Application: LC Installer is available for iOS & 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.

3b 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 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.
Send to RAB: Once all of the devices have been added and organized, submit the information for commissioning.

  1. Power Up
    To add new devices to your Lightcloud network, call RAB at 1 (844) LIGHTCLOUD, or email us at support@lightcloud.com.

  2. Confirm Device Connectivity
    Confirm Status Indicator is Solid Green (see details below)

Operating Modes

CONTROLLER: Provides switching and dimming for a single zone.

REPEATER: Extends the Lightcloud mesh network without controlling a load.

TRIGGER: Detect when an attached circuit is open or closed. For example, you could attach the Controller in Trigger mode to an existing occupancy sensor to allow your Lightcloud system to react to the sensor.

OCCUPANCY LOCAL: Use an attached sensor to control the Controllers load.

OCCUPANCY CUSTOM: Use an attached sensor to control the load of any Zone in the Lightcloud site.

ADVANCED TRIGGER: Designed to use a third-party occupancy sensor to detect occupancy without that sensor directly controlling the lights. Controller will function as an occupancy sensor in this mode.

POWER MEASUREMENT: The Lightcloud Controller is capable of measuring the power usage of the attached circuit.

POWER LOSS DETECTION: If mains power to the Controller is lost, the device will detect this and alert the Lightcloud application.

EMERGENCY DEFAULT: If communication is lost, the Controller may optionally fall back to a specific state, such as turning the attached circuit on.

Controller requires constant, unswitched power. 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.

FCC Information:
