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-F3W controllers must be installed in accordance with national, state, and local electrical codes and requirements.
SPECIFICATIONS
- Dim Control Max Load: 10 mA Source/Sink
- Radio Frequency: 2.4 GHz (IEEE 802.15.4)
- RF Transmission Output Power: +20 dBm
- Operating Temperature: -40 to +80 C
- Operating Humidity: 10 to 90%, non-condensing
- Wire Size: 18 AWG, 8” Wires, UL1316, 600V
- Dimensions: 2.25” L x 2.0” W x .3” H (57 x 50.8 x 7.6 mm)
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Below are some recommendations for successful dimming using the DIM10-087-06-F3W. The dimming control wires are referenced as DIM+ and DIM-. The dimming signals have a Maximum voltage of 10V DC.
- Do not ground the DIM- 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 0f 8 DIM to OFF LED Drivers.
- Do not mount to a heatsink or to a LED driver.
- When installing the DIM10-087-06-F3W into an enclosure, consideration of the internal antenna position and any possible 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.
NEEDED MATERIAL
- Mounting Hardware : (1) #4 or M3 screws 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-F3W CONTROLLER -
Connect the POWER (BROWN) wire of the DIM10- 087-06-F3W to the 12-24V DC Aux output from the LED driver.
-
Connect the DIM+ (PURPLE) wire from the DIM10- 087-06-F3W to the DIM+ wire on the LED driver.
-
Connect the DIM- (PINK/WHITE STRIPE) wire from the DIM10-087-06-F3W to the COMMON/DIM- wire on the LED driver.
POWERING UP THE FIXTURE AND CONTROLLER
After connecting the Controller to the LED Driver, switch power on to the fixture. The light should turn on
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)

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.
