Setup & Installation
Turn Off Power
Find a Suitable Location
Use these guidelines when installing devices:
- If there is a clear line of sight between a Luminaire Controller and another Lightcloud device they can be placed up to 700 ft apart.
- If a Luminaire Controller and another Lightcloud device are separated by ordinary drywall construction, try to keep them within 70 ft. of each other.
- Brick, concrete and steel construction may require additional Lightcloud devices to go around the obstruction.
Install the Luminaire Controller
(For Luminaires Pre-Installed with the Luminaire Controller, Skip to Step 3)
Fixture Installation with Actuator Module Inside
If the interior of your luminaire can accommodate the dimensions of the
actuator module, install the actuator module inside the housing, and attach
the radio module to the outside of the housing via a knockout.
Setup & Installation (cont’d)
Installation with Junction Box
If the interior of your luminaire cannot accommodate the actuator module, the
Luminaire Controller can be mounted into a junction box, with the radio module
always outside any metal enclosure
Install Luminaire
Install the luminaire with integrated Luminaire Controller as normal, allowing
for any room to accommodate the external radio module of the LCLC3/D10.
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).
Lightcloud 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.
Send to RAB:
Once all of the devices have been added and organized, submit the information for commissioning.
Device Table
Two Lightcloud Device Tables are provided with each Gateway: one that you can
attach to your panel and one to hand off to a building manager. Attach the
Device Identifi cation stickers included with each device to a row, then write
in additional information, such as Zone name, Panel/Circuit Number, and
whether or not a Zone uses dimming.

Functionality
Configuration
All configuration of Lightcloud products may be performed using the Lightcloud
web Application, or by calling RAB.
Power Measurement
The Lightcloud Luminaire Controller is capable of measuring the power usage of
the attached luminaire. In order to utilize this function, the neutral wire of
the load must be connected to the white-red neutral wire. If the white-red
neutral line cannot be used, it should be tied to the regular neutral wires
(i.e. all neutral wires joined).
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 luminaire on. [ Warning: Any wires not in use must be capped off or otherwise insulated. ]
