WARNING
1a
Find a Suitable Location
Use these guidelines when installing devices:
- If there is a clear line of sight between two Lightcloud devices, they can be placed up to 1000 feet apart.
- If the two devices are separated by ordinary drywall construction, try to keep them within 100 ft. of each other.
- Brick, concrete and steel construction may require additional Lightcloud devices to go around the obstruction.
Install your Lightcloud Controller
2a
Install at a Junction Box (Indoor/Outdoor)
0-10V DIMMING
0-10V is a common method of low-voltage control of dimmable drivers and
ballasts. Purple: 0-10V positive | Pink: 0-10V common
NOTE: The National Electrical Code requires that low-voltage wiring used
in the same enclosure as high-voltage wiring have an equal or better
insulation rating. You may need to complete your low-voltage wiring in another
enclosure or use a partition.
**2b**
Install at Lighting Panel or Trough
Space and code allowing, you may install Lightcloud devices directly in your breaker box or lighting panel. Alternatively, break out lighting circuits and install Lightcloud devices in a separate trough.
Labeling Your device
When installing devices, it’s important to keep track of their Device IDs,
installation locations, panel/circuit #s, dimming function, and any additional
notes. To organize this information, use the Lightcloud Installer Application
(A) or Device Table (B).
**3a**
Lightcloud Installer Application
Install the LC Installer Application: LC Installer is available for iOS and
Android.
Scan & Install Lightcloud Devices: Scan each device and assign to a room. It’s
recommended that each device is scanned just before or just after being wired
so no devices are missed. The more notes that are given, the easier it is to
commission the system.
3b
Device Table
For setup and maintenance, we provide two Lightcloud Device Tables with the
Gateway: one that you can attach to your panel and one to hand off to a
building manager. Attach the Device Identification stickers included witheach
device to a row, then write in additional information, such as Zone name,
Panel/Circuit Number, and whether or not a zone uses dimming.
Send to RAB: Once all of the devices have been added and organized, submit the
information for commissioning.

Operating Modes
CONTROLLER : Provides switching and dimming for a single zone.
REPEATER: Extends the Lightcloud mesh network without controlling a load.
SENSOR (REQUIRES OPTIONAL SENSOR MODULE): Provides occupancy, vacancy,
and daylight harvesting.
POWER MEASUREMENT: The Lightcloud Controller is capable of measuring the
power usage of the attached circuit.
POWER LOSS DETECTION: If mains power to the Controller is lost, the
device will detect this and alert the Lightcloud application.
EMERGENCY DEFAULT: If communication is lost, the Controller may
optionally fall back to a specific state, such as turning the attached circuit
on.
Controller requires constant, unswitched power. Any wires not in use must be
capped off or otherwise insulated. This product should only be installed by a
