Specifications

Product Name: Phase-Cut Dimming Module (PCDM)
Compatibility: Incandescent/Halogen lamps, ELV LED lamps or LED
drivers
Incompatible Load Types: ELV/MLV transformers, MLV LED
drivers
Maximum Dimmed Line Length: 15.2 m (50 ft)
Absolute Maximum Load Ratings:
- 120 VAC: 450 W, 3.8A maximum
- 277 VAC: 900 W, 3.3A maximum

Product Usage Instructions

Installation

The Phase-Cut Dimming Module (PCDM) should be installed
following these steps:

Mount the PCDM on top of a standard square 119.1 mm (4.6875
inches) junction box.
Ensure proper wiring connections as per the provided
diagram.
Connect the PCDM to the GreenBus network for automatic
addressing.
Ensure installation is in dry, indoor locations only.

Load Compatibility

The PCDM is compatible with incandescent/Halogen lamps and ELV
LED lamps or LED drivers. It is not compatible with ELV/MLV
transformers or MLV LED drivers.

Wire Length Consideration

Ensure that the combined length of the dimmed line (Red) from
the PCDM to the load does not exceed 15.2 m (50 ft). For specialty
applications like chandeliers, consider wiring within the luminaire
within the same limit to prevent stress on PCDM components.

Electrical Connections

Follow these wiring connections for the PCDM:

WHITE–Neutral
RED–Relay Output & DIM Control
BLACK–Line In
GREEN–Ground

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

PRODUCT SAFETY
When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.

Do not let power supply cords touch hot surfaces.
Do not mount near gas or electric heaters.
Equipment should be mounted in locations and at heights where it will not readily be subjected to tampering by unauthorized personnel.

The use of accessory equipment is not recommended by Encelium as it may cause an unsafe condition.
Do not use this equipment for other than the intended use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

GETTING STARTED
Overview
The Phase-Cut Dimming Module (PCDM) provides an interface between the phase- cut dimmable (forward- and reverse-phase) luminaires and the Encelium X Lighting Control System. The PCDM is automatically addressed as soon as it is connected to the GreenBus network. Individually addressable, the PCDM enables each group or zone of fixtures to be independently controlled and configured to best meet the needs of the facility.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Wire Length Consideration
The maximum combined length of the dimmed line (Red) from the PCDM to the load must be less than 15.2 m (50 ft).
For specialty applications such as chandelier, the wiring within the luminaire to the load must be accounted within the 15.2 m (50 ft) limit. Exceeding this limit can cause stress to the PCDM components and lead to failure.

Notes: 15.2 m (50 ft) maximum distance from PCDM to the last luminaire
Absolute maximum load ratings: 120 VAC: 450 W, 3.8A maximum | 277 VAC: 900 W, 3.3A maximum
Due to the internal relay, power feed to module may be live even if lights are off. Turn off power at circuit breaker or fuse before installing or servicing module. Observe lockout procedures.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

GreenBus
GreenBus is a low-cost, high reliability communication means to report information back to the Encelium X and Encelium Edge Lighting Control Systems.
The GreenBus wiring can originate at the Wired Manager and propagates in a daisy-chain from module to module (or other compatible equipment). When tethering the GreenBus wiring can also originate from a GB port on a Wireless Area Lighting Control Module (WALC) or a Wireless Control Module (WCM).
The GreenBus wires must be used with proprietary connectors supplied. Insert the connectors to the PCDM GB ports.
GreenBus must be laid out as per supplied system layout drawing. If changes are required, determine an optimum wiring path utilizing the supplied cables, based on the position of the devices

7 mm (0.27 inch)
Insert Connectors
Insert Wires
To remove the wires, use a flat head screwdriver to release the wires from the terminal blocks.

Insert flat head screwdriver into release tab
Notes: Relay Contact; recommended relay switching capacity 120 VAC, 450 W or 277 VAC, 900 W maximum.
If the devices are connected with a method other than daisy-chain, this must be indicated to an Encelium Representative for approval before wiring.
GreenBus uses proprietary connectors and jacks for ease of installation only. GreenBus is a proprietary standard. Connect to Encelium Lighting Control System only. Do not connect to other circuits.
