Electrical Safety

General

The RM2 must be installed and/or used in accordance with your local wiring rules, regulations and standards.
If you are unsure about any part of this installation then contact a licensed electrician before proceeding.

Some steps of the installation process are required to be completed only by a licensed electrician; these steps are marked with this symbol

The RM2 (Relay Module 2) conforms to the following standards:
AS/NZS 60669.2.1:2013
IEC 61000-4-2, IEC 61000-4-3, IEC 61000-4-4, IEC 61000-4-5, IEC 61000-4-6, IEC 61000-4-8,
IEC 61000-4-11

While the RM2 is primarily a Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) system (48V DC), installations may have a mix of 240V and SELV wiring and switches
Always ensure the MAIN POWER breaker is OFF before opening, connecting, configuring or modifying the RM2.

DO NOT MEGGER TEST

• Unplug PS48 and PSUACDC before megger testing
• Do not megger test ELV switches

The RM2 system runs at Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) (48V DC). Megger tests (aka Insulation Resistance Tests) do not apply, megger tests will damage the equipment.

Specifications

TIP: See Load Guidelines section.

Installation

Mounting
The RM2 can be installed onto any flat surface using screws:

1.  use thread diameter 4 – 5mm
2.  use head size 9 – 11mm diameter.
3. minimum thread length of 15mm.

Example for screwing into timber: 8Gx15mm button head screw.

Care must be taken to ensure that the internal PCB is totally free of any foreign objects such as stray wire strands before applying power. Failure to ensure this may result in permanent damage to the RM2 that is not covered under warranty.
Note: It is highly recommended that the RM2 be mounted vertically as shown in the photos below. In situations where the RM2 cannot be mounted vertically, it should be securely fixed to a flat surface.
Mounting Example:

System Size
A maximum of 72 switch inputs is allowed per the MyPlace system.
Up to 12 modules total. A mix of LM’s, RM’s, and RM2’s can be used, with a maximum of 12 in total.
Load Guidelines
The max load is 600VA per channel.
What you can connect to each channel depends upon its VA rating and inrush current.
For example, as a guideline, one RM2 channel can control:

• 300W of low voltage lighting – where electronic transformers are used. This includes all 240V powered LED lights and low voltage halogen lighting.
• 600W of 240V halogen or another filament lighting.
• Three typical interior blind motors.
• You can control over 600VA using a suitable external relay or contactor.
  o For example Hager ESC125 contactor

PowerPoints
Install a PowerPoint for each PS48 and another for the PSUACDC power supply unit (for the Control Box). (see Section 9 for power supply connection options).

Installation of power circuits and power points must be completed by a licensed electrician.

RM2 Overview

System Overview

 Switch Wiring Options

48V Switching – Method 1
Low voltage wiring to the wall switch. Connects to “LOW VOLTAGE SWITCH INPUT” on the RM2. Suitable for Roller Blinds, and 240V lights.

Note: Wall Switches should be fitted for each channel of blinds and lights.
Recommended: use latching push-button type wall switches (for blinds and lights).
Example: Use Clipsal 30PB (not bell press). Regular switches can also be used for lights (Clipsal 30M).
240V Switching (using ADAP SW48) – Method 2
Leave the existing house wiring in place and use the ADAP SW48.
When using the ADAP SW48, ensure you use the ADAP SW48CABLE10 or ADAP SW48CABLE20 to connect to the “LOW VOLTAGE SWITCH INPUT” on the RM2.

Polarity Sensitive ADAP 48SWCABLE10/20

Using the ADAP SW48 with Clipsal Saturn or similar LED lit switches
If you require Clipsal Saturn (and similar other types) light switches that have a LED indicator light, then  240V will be required at the switches to operate the LED. The 48V switch wire coming off the RM2 is unable to control the LED.

Please refer to the wiring instructions provided by the switch manufacturer for recommended configurations.

Garage Doors

MyPlace allows you to open or close your garage door, and MyPlace will send a notification alert to your mobile phone if your garage door is left open.
Compatibility
Some garage doors have multiple settings for accepting inputs from third-party control systems. The garage door motorized opener must be able to accept momentary “pulse” open/closed signals. A setting on the Garage Door controls may be required to be changed.
For Garage Doors the RM2 “LOW VOLTAGE SWITCH INPUT” is used by the Garage Door Sensor (MYG).

For up to date compatibility info please see https://www.advantageair.com.au/support/ or call us on
1300 850 191 or email techsupport@advantageair.com.au for assistance.

Garage Door Wiring Diagram

The switches use SELV-compliant voltages. DO NOT connect switches or cables which contain 240V mains, or other voltages.

Garage Door Sensor Wiring
The MYG consists of two parts; the sensor, and a junction box.
Garage door sensor parts:

1. The part with wires should be mounted in a permanent position to detect the door when it is closed.
2. The rectangular part (magnet) must be mounted to the door.
3. The two parts must come very close to each other (10-20mm) when the garage door is closed.
4.  Angle bracket included for mounting

The Garage door sensor must detect when the door is closed.

Photo Electric Sensor Required

All garage doors and motorized openers should be installed in accordance to AS/NZS60335.2.95. Advantage Air highly recommends that Photo-Electric safety beams are installed when door openers are integrated with MyPlace. Please consult further with your garage door and motorized opener supplier.
Garage Door Sensor – Location
The Garage Door Sensor (included in MYG) can be installed near the ground, or along the side of the garage door, or near the top. This will be site- specific.
The two parts of the sensor must come within 10-20mm of each other when the garage door is closed.

Note: Wall Switches should be fitted for each channel of blinds and lights.

Setting the Blind limits – top and bottom
Note: Be very careful when setting the blind top and bottom limits.
The incorrect procedure can cause the roller blind motor to damage the roller blind and its mountings, and cause it to fall.
Set up as follows:
There are two settings to adjust on the motor shaft.

• One for up
• One for down

You can see small arrows that show you the direction or travel (rotation of the motor).

1. Set the initial “up” position by rotating the “-” for 15-20 full turns
2. Set the initial “down” position by rotating the “-” for 15-20 full turns
3. Be prepared to cut the power to the blind if it keeps moving.
4. Apply Power to the blind.
5. Choose “Down” on the wall-mounted touch screen.
6. Adjust the down direction “+” screw until the blind is lower to the correct position.
7. Choose “Up” on the wall-mounted touch screen
8. Adjust the up direction “+” screw until the blind raises to the correct position.

Roller Blind Motors Can Overheat
In some cases, when roller blinds are rolled up and down, repetitively, the roller blind motor will overheat. This is a safety mechanism inside the roller blind motor, and may vary from brand to brand. It will also vary depending upon the ambient temperature and the fitted roller blinds width, height, and weight.
If it overheats, then the roller blind motor stops.
Pressing buttons on the MyPlace Apps or wall switch will not make the motor move again. The motor will stay stopped until it cools down.
When the roller blind motor does cool down, it will return to the last position set via the MyPlace App or wall switch.

Roller Blind 240V Wiring

The wiring of the roller blind motor depends upon the side that the motor is mounted, and how the roller blind is mounted, as below.
