DIM10-087-06-FW Controller
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!
- PROPER GROUNDING REQUIRED TO AVOID STATIC DISCHARGE WHICH CAN DAMAGE CONTROLLERS DURING INSTALLATION.
WARNING AND CAUTIONS:
- If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult an electrician; all work should be performed by qualified personnel.
- DIM10-087-06-FW controllers must be installed in accordance with national, state, and local electrical codes and requirements.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Below are some recommendations for successful dimming using the
DIM10-087-06-FW. The dimming control wires are referenced as DIM+ and
DALI-/COM. The dimming signals have a Maximum voltage of 10V DC.
- Do not ground the DALI-/COM wire to chassis ground; this is a return signal and is critical for proper dimming.
- Route dimming 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.
- Maximum 0f 8 DIM to OFF LED Drivers for DIM to OFF Designs.
- Do not mount to a heatsink or to an LED driver.
- When installing the DIM10-087-06-FW into an enclosure, consideration of the internal antenna position and any interference is required to provide the best wireless signal strength. Prior to permanently mounting it, make sure the device is free of any metal objects within 2 inches.
NOTE: LED Driver must support DIM to OFF functionality.
WARNING: The maximum number of D4i LED Drivers with 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.
NEEDED MATERIAL
- Mounting Hardware: (1) #4 or M3 screw and standoff recommended
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
MOUNTING
-
Place the controller in desired location and secure it using #4 sized screw and standoff using the mounting hole located in the center of the board.
Note: For the best RF signal propagation, mount the controller so that the bottom is facing the ground.
WIRING THE DIM10-087-06-FW CONTROLLER
Note: Unless specified, the connections to a standard Dim to Off LED driver and the DALI 2 LED driver are the same. -
Connect the POWER (BROWN) wire of the DIM10087-06-FW to the 12-24V DC Aux output from the LED driver.
-
Connect the DALI-/COMMON (GRAY/WHITE STRIPE) to the COMMON wire on the LED driver you have.
CONNECTING SENSORS
Note: Steps 4-8 are for adding sensors to the DIM10-087-06-FW controller; if you are not connecting sensors skip this section.
There are two sensor inputs on the DIM10-087-06-FW designed for low powered (24V DC) type sensors.
The SENSOR A (YELLOW) wire is used to connect sensor A.
The SENSOR B (ORANGE) wire is used to connect sensor B. -
Connect the sensor power wire to the AUX out on the LED driver (the LED driver powers the sensor).
-
Connect the sensor common to the COMMON/DIM-.
-
Connect the SENSOR A (YELLOW) wire or the SENSOR B (ORANGE) wire of the DIM10-087-06FW controller to the sensor CTRL/Control wire.
-
If you are using more than one sensor, then duplicate the installation as described above.
-
Sensors must be configured in software before they are functional in a SimplySnap system.
(See Figures 1 and 2)
CONNECTING THE DIMMING CIRCUIT
Note: Steps 9-10 are for connecting to a Standard Dim to Off LED driver; if you are using a DALI 2 LED driver skip to steps 11-12. -
Connect the DIM+ (PURPLE) wire from the DIM10087-06-FW to the DIM+ wire on the LED driver.
-
Cap the unused DALI+ (PURPLE/WHITE STRIPE) wire. (See Figure 1)
Note: Steps 11-12 are for connecting to a DALI 2 LED driver. -
Connect the (DALI+ = PURPLE/WHITE STRIPE) wire from the DIM10-087-06-FW to the LED driver DALI+.
-
Cap the unused (DIM+ = PURPLE) wire. (See Figure 2)
POWERING UP THE FIXTURE AND CONTROLLER
After connecting the Controller to the LED Driver and any sensors, make sure to cap any unused wires. Switch power on to the fixture. The light should turn on.
STATUS LED
Note: When the controller is powered, the following colors indicate the
status.
- Red = No Network Found (Communication Lost)
- Blinking Green = Network Found, Controller Not Configured (Device not yet added to SimplySnap)
- Green = Network Found, Controller Configured (Normal Operation)
For more information on SimplySnap and the DIM10087-06-FW, refer to the website at http://help.synapsewireless.com/.
WARNING:
- If a single Synapse controller is used to drive the DIM+ input of multiple LED drivers, then all of the DIM- lines from all drivers MUST be directly tied/shorted together to provide a common return/ground to the controller.
- Synapse will not warranty or be liable for designs with any other electronic means of coupling DIM- lines from multiple drivers.
