Manual Mode {Digital Dimming Button Operated)
Scenario: The LED has input voltage, but no input control signal, i.e, no external control source or dummy plug.

• If the dimming button is pressed and the LED fixture has power, the fixture will turn on at 100% and the button will be briefly flash green.
• Levels of Control: 100%, 75%, 50%, and OFF.
• To turn off the fixture, the operator must repeatedly press the digital dimming button until the unit turns off.

External Control {External Controller II Dummy Plug Operated)

Warning!
Do not insert an external control signal or dummy plug into the RJ45 “OUT” port. The LED fixture will not operate in this mode Scenario: External control signal or dummy plug is inserted in the RJ45 “IN” port.

External control signal or dummy plug overrides the dimming button. The external controller or dummy plug will have full control of the fixture. The RJ45 “OUT’ port is only activated when there is an external control signal or dummy plug connected to the RJ45 “IN” port. If this mode is utilized, up to 1,000 fixtures can be operated if connected in series.

Connecting up to 500 or 1000 fixtures
Using a setup with daisy-chained splitters, up to 500 fixtures on EL1 and 1000 fixtures on EL2 (over two channels) can be connected as shown in fig. 6.

• Use the controller cable (RJ9 – RJ45, item comes with the controller) to connect the primary channel of the controller to the input port of the first splitter (6A).

• Remove the dummy from the input port of the fixtures.
  Note: Keep the dummy in a safe place! The dummy is necessary to operate the fixture in standalone mode.

• Use the interconnect (RJ45 – RJ45) cable supplied to connect the output port of the splitter to the input port of the first fixture (6C).

• Use the supplied interconnect cable to connect the output port of the first fixture to the input port of the second (6D).

• Repeat these steps to connect up to 100 fixtures per splitter output port (6E). Up to 500 fixtures can be connected to the primary channel.

• Snap-on two ferrite cores on the interconnect cable close to the plugs.

• Use the interconnect cables to connect the outport of a splitter to the import of the next (6B).

• Use the black secondary channel (item comes with a controller) (6G) to connect another 500 fixtures, in the same way the fixtures are connected to the primary channel.

• Warning! Distribute a number of fixtures evenly over daisy chains.

• Warning! Ensure the embedded adapter connections are integrated in a correct set-up installation for best results.

• Warning! Boosters should never be used to expand.

• Warning! The maximum cable length per splitter is 250m (100 interconnect cables).

Daisy Chaining – Watertight Interconnections
