CAUTION

EMB-S2-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 EMB-S2-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 for DALI-2/D4i Designs.
• Maximum 0f 8 DIM to OFF LED Drivers for DIM to OFF Designs.
• Do not mount to a heatsink or to a LED driver.
• When installing the EMB-S2-FW into an enclosure,consideration of the internal antenna position and interference is required in order to provide the most optimum wireless signal strength. Prior to permanently mounting it, make sure the antenna is free of any metal objects within 12 in. of the antenna.

NEEDED MATERIAL

• Mounting Hardware: (1) #4 and M3 screws and standoff recommended

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH: TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE AND VERIFY THAT POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING!

MOUNTING

1. 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. WIRING THE EMB-S2-FW CONTROLLER
   Note: Unless specified, the connections to a standard Dim to Off LED driver and the DALI 2 LED driver are the same.

2. Connect the POWER (BROWN) wire of the EMB-S2- FW to the 12-24V DC Aux output from the LED driver.

3. Connect the DALI-/COMMON (PINK/WHITE STRIPE) to the COMMON/DALI- or COMMON/DIMwire on the LED driver you have. CONNECTING SENSORS Note: Steps 4-8 are for adding sensors to theEMB-S2-FW controller; if you are not connecting sensors skip this section.
   There are two sensor inputs on the EMB-S2-FW designed for low powered (24V DC) type sensors.

4. The SENSOR A (YELLOW) wire is used to connect sensor A.

5. The SENSOR B (ORANGE) wire is used to connect sensor B.

6. Connect the sensor power wire to the AUX out on the LED driver (the LED driver powers the sensor).

7. Connect the sensor Common to the COMMON/DALI- or COMMON/DIM- based on the LED driver you have.

8. Connect the SENSOR A (YELLOW) wire or the SENSOR B (ORANGE) wire of the EMB-S2-FW controller to the sensor CTRL/Control wire.

9. If you are using more than one sensor then duplicate the installation as described above.

10. Sensors must be configured in software before they are functional in a SimplySnap system.
    CONNECTING THE DIMMING CIRCUIT
    Note: Steps 9-11 are for connecting up to a Standard Dim to Off LED driver; if you are using a DALI 2 LED driver skip to steps 12-13.
    

11. Connect the DIM+ (PURPLE) wire from the EMBS2-FW to the DIM+ wire on the LED driver.

12. Connect the DALI-/COM (PINK/WHITE STRIPE) wire from the EMB-S2-FW to the COMMON/DIMwire on the LED driver.

13. Cap the unused DALI+ (PURPLE/WHITE STRIPE) wire.
    Note: Steps 12-13 are for connecting up to a DALI 2 LED driver.
    

14. Connect the 12-24VDC Aux output from the LED driver to the (POWER = BROWN wire of the EMB-S2-A.

15. Connect the (DALI-/COMMON = PINK/WHITE STRIPE) wire of the EMB-S2-A to the COMMON/DALI- or COMMON/DIM- based on the LED driver you have.

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 current 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)

Refer to the SimplySnap User’s Manual for information on provisioning the EMB-S2-FW.

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.
