3. Place the main panel onto the chassis and open the door. Replace the two upper and two lower fixing screws.

Supply Wiring

Wiring Flow

The Universal Source Controller range has been designed to provide a clear layout and logical progression for all power circuits.

The main supply conductors enter at the top panel and connect directly to the input lugs. Input power is then fed to a central bank of breakers and distributed from there to each of the individual circuit cards.

Two vertical wireways (one for 6 and 12 circuit models) provide clear routes from the circuit card outputs up to the earth terminals and the exit knockouts within the top panel of the chassis.

The diagram shown below indicates a typical wiring flow with the high voltage load wiring from the various channels (and their earth connections) exiting from the top panel.

**Single Phase Supply

**

The Universal Source Controllers are available in single-phase supply variants.

Note: Check the stated voltage rating of the controller before connecting to the supply and check that it matches the supply voltage.

**Connecting the Supply

**

The suggested entry point for the supply wiring is via the center knockout on the top panel of the chassis. This provides immediate access to the supply lugs below and also leaves the two knockouts on either side for exiting load wiring. Use a suitable conduit and coupler to feed the source wiring safely into the chassis.
See the diagram below for connection details. The main earth terminal is located near to the neutral lug. The earth connection is bonded to the main backplane of the chassis and the outer panels.
Please consult the table below for details about the maximum permissible supply wire gauges for the various controller models.
Top panel knockouts: 3 x 2.42 inches (61.5 mm).

Maximum Wire Gauge for Input Lugs (Single Phase)
The figures shown below provide the maximum wire gauges that can be used with the input lugs within each Source Controller model. The actual gauges of supply wiring that should be used in any particular installation will depend upon the connected loads, the wire type used, expected ambient temperatures, and codes in force within your locality.

Three Phase Supply

The Universal Source Controllers are available in three-phase supply variants.
Note: Check the stated voltage rating of the controller before connecting to the supply and check that it matches the (phase to neutral) supply voltage.

Connecting the Supply

The suggested entry point for the supply wiring is via the center knockout on the top panel of the chassis. This provides immediate access to the supply lugs below and also leaves the two knockouts on either side for exiting load wiring. Use a suitable conduit and coupler to feed the source wiring safely into the chassis.
See the diagram below for connection details. The main earth terminal is located near the neutral lug. The earth connection is bonded to the main backplane of the chassis and the outer panels.
Please consult the table below for details about the maximum permissible supply wire gauges for the various controller models.

Phase 3:| Circuits 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24

Supply to Internal Circuitry

The internal power supply that feeds the control panel and associated circuitry can draw its power from any and all phases so that it will still operate in the event that not all supply phases are available.

Load Wiring

High Voltage Load Wiring

Each load channel is served by a dedicated control card fed from a designated circuit breaker. For each card, load connections are made using a four-way rapid connection block.

Available at the connection block are a permanent Hot (subject to circuit breaker status), Switched hot (via relay control), Dimmed hot (via Triac control) and Neutral – see diagram below.

Note: Earth connections for each channel are made using the connector blocks located at the top of each wi way.

When supplied, a red 3-way bypass jumper is installed within each connection block to serve three purposes:

• To bind the three outputs in order to protect each channel card from load faults during installation
• To energize each channel output (subject to the status of the associated circuit breaker) for use as work lighting control during installation and
• To assist with circuit testing during commissioning

IMPORTANT: The bypass jumper must remain in place on each channel until the commissioning process is complete.

Total Load Per Channel
The load on each channel must not exceed 16A.

Load Wire Gauges
Load wiring must be sized according to the nature of the channel load(s) and with strict regard to regulations and codes in force within your locality. The maximum permissible wire gauges accepted by the connector blocks are:

Solid wire: 10 AWG (6 mm²)
Stranded wire: 12 AWG (4 mm²)

Earth Connections
Earth connections for each channel are available at the connector blocks located at the top of each wireway:

To Insert a Wire

1. Strip roughly a quarter-inch (6 mm) of insulation from the wire end.
2. Place a small flat blade screwdriver all the way into the upper rectangular hole (keep the tip of the screwdriver against the top edge of the hole).
3. Press the screwdriver tip downwards towards the base of the connection block and push the stripped wire into the large circular hole.
4. When the wire is in place, release the screwdriver and check that the wire is firmly held by the internal spring clip.

High Voltage Load Wiring Flows
A knockout (diameter 2.42 inches /61.5 mm) is provided above each load wireway within the top panel of the chassis. Use suitable conduits and couplers. Please see the wiring flow diagram on page 8.

Typical Load Connections
The examples below show some of the most typical loads and the way in which they are connected to a Source Controller circuit.

Defining Load Types
The type of load placed upon each channel must be defined within the Configuration menu of the control panel. For further details on how to do this, please refer to the accompanying System manual.

Low Voltage Load Wiring

Each channel can be individually configured to support any of the following low voltage load control standards: 0-10V, DSI or broadcast DALI (DSI and DALI – Canada and Mexico Only).

The high voltage sections for each channel continue to provide switched hot outputs to power the controlled loads.

Note: Support for multiple low voltage load control standards may not be permissible in certain countries. In such cases, the required control standard must be stated when ordering.

The low voltage load wiring circuits are located just below the control panel, accessible either through a removable mini panel or when the complete casing is removed.

Connections are made easy by using removable plug blocks which snap into terminals mounted on the circuit boards shown below:

For each circuit, the low voltage control protocol to be used is selected using the configuration menu on the control panel. The programming of the Source Controller channels is covered within the accompanying System Manual.

Note: DALI signals for each channel are output in broadcast mode only – it is not possible to individually address mul­tiple DALI luminaires on the same control wire.

The low voltage load control circuits are PELV (Protected Extra Low Voltage).

Low Voltage Load Wiring Flows
The casing provides four knockouts on the base panel for use by exiting low voltage load cables as well as control wiring. Each knockout is 0.89 inches (22.5 mm) in diameter.

Use appropriate conduits and couplers to link with raceways or cable runs, as necessary.

IMPORTANT: Low voltage load wiring should be installed with a suitable separation to parallel high voltage cables, according to local and national codes.

Indicators
An indicator is assigned to each low voltage output channel to provide quick visual feedback. In each case, the indicator (located next to the output connectors) will mimic the dimmed status of the associated channel, from zero to full brightness.

Control Wiring

Multiple Control Protocols
To ensure maximum versatility, the Universal Source Controllers
provide full compatibility with a range of control protocols,
including:

• in bus
• DMX512A
• RS-485
• Ethernet

Connections for the iCAN bus, DMX512A, and RS-485 protocols are made using removable plug blocks which snap into terminals mounted on the control circuit board. A standard RJ45 socket is provided for the ethernet connection.

In addition, a separate connector block (labeled ‘Contact closure’) allows two volt-free switch inputs from external systems. Subject to configuration menu settings, these inputs
can be used to affect selected channels.

The control connections are located just below the control panel, accessible either through a removable mini panel or when the complete casing is removed.

Termination

The iCAN, DMX, and RS-485 are ‘daisy-chain’ protocols that all require termination on the devices located at either end of the chain.

The Switched Relay Controller provides jumper links adjacent to the iCAN, DMX, and RS-485 connectors. As standard, all of these interfaces are terminated. To remove termination for a particular bus, move the associated termination jumper from the upper two pins to the lower two pins.
