System Architecture

The EEC is the central intelligence point in the Encelium Edge System. The EEC collects signal information from sensors, time clock schedules, user inputs from wallstations, and determines the appropriate brightness levels and on/off status for each luminaire or space under its control. The EEC also decides if and when new devices are allowed into its network by authenticating devices that request to join the network. Each EEC can control up to 10,000 sq ft (929 sq m) and/or up to 100 nodes

Encelium Edge System Layout Guidelines

1. Up to 100 nodes1,6 can be connected to a single EEC.
2. For optimum performance during setup, Encelium Edge System devices must be laid out within a 50 — 100 ft (15.2 — 30.5 m) radius2,3,4,5,6 of a EEC.
3. Place the EEC as central as possible and install through the ceiling tile for optimum performance.
4. Only one daylight sensor configuration6 per area is allowed.
   

Footnotes:

1. The following Encelium Edge System configurations can affect maximum node count for the system:
   a. Wireless sensor configured for occupancy & daylight harvesting functionalities = 2 nodes.
   b. WALC connected to low-voltage occupancy sensor and wallstation = 3 nodes.

2. Battery powered devices to line voltage powered devices ratio should not exceed 5:1.

3. 50 ft (15.2 m) radius around EEC assumes the presence of wireless signal obstructions such as interior walls, cinder block walls, 12 inch (305 mm) concrete walls, etc.

4. 100 ft (30.5 m) radius around EEC assumes clear line of sight path with no obstructions between the EEC and the associated Encelium Edge System devices (for example, an open office).

5. Distances are estimates. Depending on the type of obstruction and the EEC placement, wireless signal strength can vary. Consult the individual Encelium Edge System devices install guides for distance limitations.

6. An area can have many Wireless sensors; however, only one can be configured for daylight harvesting control and occupancy sensing, the remaining sensors are configured for occupancy sensing only.

7. Specifications are subject to change. Consult encelium.com/encelium-edge for up-to-date information.

Wireless System Controller Installation

1. Cut a hole in the ceiling using the ceiling mount bracket cardboard cutout as a template.
   

2. Assemble the EEC and the ceiling mount bracket together. Push the ceiling mount bracket until the lock snaps into the groove. Push the assembled EEC through the ceiling tile.
   

3. Place the upper bracket on to the EEC (above the ceiling tile from the plenum area) until it locks with lower bracket.
   

4. Use a CAT-5 cable to connect EEC Power Supply Unit to EEC.

Note: Remove the barcode from the EEC product labeling at perforation. Affix to the inside front cover page of the Hardware Barcode Logbook supplied with the EEC. Identify the `space’ name in the section provided on the page. Save the Logbook for setup staff and future reference.

WALC Installation

Luminaire and Junction Box Mounting

The WALC can be mounted on a luminaire or on a junction box.

Note: Remove the barcode from the WALC product labeling at perforation. Affix to the appropriate area page in the Hardware Barcode Logbook supplied with the EEC. Save the Logbook for setup staff and future reference.

WALC Wiring — Group Dimming

Connect line voltage AC power to the WALC and ballasts/drivers as shown below. Dimming wires (Violet & Grey) from the WALC can be run either as Class 1 or Class 2 (consult applicable local electrical and building codes).

WALC Wiring — Wired Sensor and Wallstation

Installing Encelium Edge Emergency Light Management Solutions

Generator Backup Power

Main Connection

• The Wireless System Controller is connected to normal power.
• WALC is connected to a brand circuit that is connected to back-up power circuit.
  

­Condition Prior to Emergency

• Emergency luminaire is functioning normally.

Emergency Condition

• WALC loses normal power when power outage occurs for at least 2 seconds and before emergency power kicks in.
• Emergency/back-up power system is initiated via central sense or switchgear.
• Wireless System Controller loses power when power outage occurs and does not regain power when emergency power system kicks in.

Emergency Behavior

• WALC regains power feed when back-up power comes on. WALC releases the dimming control and turns on the internal relay to pass back-up power to the emergency luminaire.
  Note: The WALC will begin dimming again when the Wireless System Controller comes back online.

Battery Backup Power

The following example assumes the use of OPTOTRONIC Programmable LED Emergency Driver.

Main Connection to WALC

• WALC is connected to a normal power.
• The Wireless System Controller power connection is irrelevant.

Condition Prior to Emergency

• Luminaire with Programmable LED Emergency Driver is functioning normally.

Emergency Condition

• WALC and LED Driver lose power.

Emergency Behavior

• Battery backup will bypass the LED Driver, WALC and provide power directly to the LED.

WPLCM Installation

Mounting and Wiring

The WPLCM installation requires a junction box.

Note: Remove the barcode from the WPLCM product labeling at perforation. Affix to the appropriate area page in the Hardware Barcode Logbook supplied with the EEC. Save the Logbook for setup staff and future reference.

WADR Installation

Mounting and Wiring

The WADR installation requires a junction box.

Note: Remove the barcode from the WADR product labeling at perforation. Since this module supports the entire space, and not only one area within the space, affix the WADR label to the inside front cover page in the Hardware Barcode Booklet below the EEC sticker. Save the Logbook for setup staff and future reference.

CLM Installation

Luminiare-Integrated Wiring

These luminaire-integrated modules are pre-assembled in the factory.

Note: Remove the barcode from the CLM product labeling at perforation. Affix to the appropriate area page in the Hardware Barcode Logbook supplied with the EEC. Save the Logbook for setup staff and future reference.

Installing Encelium Edge Emergency Light Management Solutions

Battery Backup Power

The following example assumes the use of OPTOTRONIC Programmable LED Emergency Driver.

Main Connection to CLM

• CLM is connected by the LED Driver.
  

Condition Prior to Emergency

• Luminaire with Programmable LED Emergency Driver is functioning normally.

Emergency Condition

• LED Driver loses power. CLM is disabled.

Emergency Behavior

• Battery backup will bypass the LED Driver and provide power directly to the LED.

Using the Wiring Test Tool

Press NORMAL to test luminaire switching and dimming functionality. Luminaires in the vicinity will follow a pre-programmed OFF/ON/ DIM Down/Up sequence.

Note: The CLM dims an individual luminaire; the WALC dims a group of luminaires.

Frequent use of the HIGH button may lead to shorter battery life. Press HIGH or change tool’s position if no response is observed when testing luminaire wiring using the NORMAL button.

Wireless Sensor Installation

Considerations for placing sensors

• Sensors should be placed in a way to prevent them from picking up movement from hallways. It is also important to ensure that the sensor can view the entire room from its position.
• Avoid locating sensors near HVAC air diffusers because the “noise”, heat differential, or change in pressure generated by the air flow may falsely trigger the sensor.
• Use masks to restrict the occupancy sensor’s coverage area so that it will not monitor adjacent areas such as a hallway outside a controlled private office.
• Sensors used for daylight harvesting should be placed: — 2 — 6 ft (0.6 — 1.8 m) from windows — Above a desk or workspace — Unblocked from daylight
• Up-lighting directly into the sensor’s lens should be avoided.

**Different Sensor Mounting Options are Shown Below:

**

1. Remove the mounting plate ­ twist counter-clockwise using your fingers and lift.
2. Install the supplied batteries as per polarity signs indicated within the battery compartment.
3. Place the sensor base flush to the ceiling tile. Insert the supplied helical and/or thumb screws to secure the sensor mounting plate to the ceiling tile. Helical screws are suggested for ceiling and thumb screws are suggested for drywall mounting.
4. Slightly rotate the sensor clockwise until it snaps onto the mounting plate.
   Note: When using the magnet mounting method do not use the sensor mounting plate. Remove the barcode from the Wireless Sensor product labeling at perforation. Affix to the appropriate area page in the Hardware Barcode Logbook supplied with the EEC. Save the Logbook for setup staff and future reference.
   

Wireless Wallstation Installation

1. Install the mounting bracket using the supplied screws. Ensure that the SINGLE GANG labels are facing up.
   

2. Install the supplied (2) AA batteries to the wallstation assembly. Pay attention to the battery polarity indicators.
   

3. Place the wallstation assembly into the mounting plate and push gently until `clicks’ are heard. This confirms that the pieces are secured.
   
   Note: Remove the barcode from the Wireless Wallstation product labeling at perforation. Affix to the appropriate area page in the Hardware Barcode Logbook supplied with the EEC. Save the Logbook for setup staff and future reference.
