**SYNAPSE TL7-DALI-DC Lighting Controller Instruction Manual

**

WARNING AND CAUTIONS:

TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH; TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE AND TEST THAT POWER IS OFF BEFORE INSTALLING!
The TL7-DALI-DC should only be installed in a fixture with a NEMA/ANSI C136.41 receptacle.
Failure to follow these instructions and warnings could potentially void warranty.

WARNING AND CAUTIONS:

If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult an electrician; all work should be performed by qualified personnel.
This product must be installed in accordance with national, state, and local electrical codes and requirements

SPECIFICATIONS

Radio Frequency: 2.4 GHz (IEEE 802.15.4)
RF Transmission Output Power: +20dBM
Operating Temperature: -40 to +70 C
Operating Humidity: 0 to 90%, non-condensing
Max D4i Drivers: Limited to 4 D4i LED drivers
Dimensions: 3.3” D x 2.0” H (84mm D x 51mm H)
Sensor Input: 24VDC

WIRING DETAILS OF C136.41 SOCKET

If a motion sensor or the C136.41 socket needs to be wired up prior to installing the TL7-DALI-DC, please refer to the wiring details.

NOTE: LINE (Black) and LOAD (Red) are internally shorted together.

(See Figure 1)

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Do not ground the DALI-/COM wire to chassis ground; this is a return signal and is critical for proper dimming.
Route DALI wires away from AC lines if possible.
Maximum of 4 DALI-2/D4i LED Drivers per controller, consult Synapse Support if a greater ratio is needed.

WARNING: The maximum number of D4i LED Drivers with an active DALI power supply on the bus is 4. Up to 6 D4i LED drivers may be on the bus, but only 4 may have active power supplies. SimplySnap will not support more than 6 D4i LED drivers on the Synapse lighting controller. The DALI bus is limited to 250mA.
Having more than 4 DALI power supplies on the bus may void the D4i LED driver warranty.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

If applicable, remove the lighting control device currently installed in the fixture receptacle.
Align the TL7-DALI-DC such that the large contact pin is positioned above the large receptacle contact.
Insert the TL7-DALI-DC contacts completely into the receptacle contacts by pressing down.
While pressing down, twist the TL7-DALI-DC housing clockwise until it locks into place. (See Figure 2)
If the device is properly seated, on power up (and until commissioned in a SimplySnap system), the TL7-DALI-DC will immediately go to 100% dimming, then fade to 0% over 60 seconds, then back to 100%. If it does not dim, the device is not twisted into the proper position.

Note: To fuction properly, make sure the controller is inserted completely into the socket and twisted into the locked position.
