e-Node -- “Ethernet to CS-Bus Adapter/Firewall”
The Intelligent Ethernet Protocol Adapter (e-NodeTM) is a state-of-the Intelligent Internet Protocol controller which is designed to
enable wired or wireless (Ethernet) control of nearly a limitless range of facility automation clients/devices. The unique controller
is connected to any facilities or home automation client/device that supports RS-232-C or RS-485 connectivity. A single e-
NodeTM can control an entire network of IMC-100x and/or ILC-100TM devices.
End-of-Bus Line Terminators
The CS-Bus is designed around end-of-bus resistor termination. This guarantees error-free communication despite external
noise and other sources of interference. It is highly advised that when more than one ILC-100x Controller is interconnected, one
terminator is placed on one end of the bus and another terminator is placed on the other end of the bus. It does not matter into
which CS-Bus port these terminators are connectors so long as they are at the very beginning of the bus and the very end of the
bus.
Power On/Testing
IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE THAT THE DC POWER TO ALL CONTROLLERS IS TURNED OFF PRIOR TO CONTINUING.
1. Make sure that you have installed at least one ILC-100x Controller and one User Interface Control (BSKP-2110L, IR-EYE with
IR remote, or IBT or e-NODETM with external computer).
2. Verify that you have connected an approved LED lighting strip into the ILC-100 controller.
3. Power on all ILC-100x Controllers (and e-NodeTM if connected to system).
4. Issue the following command from any connected User Interface Control and verify that the LED illuminates and starts going
through a color shifting test pattern. If you see this pattern, you have confirmed the proper operation of your ILC-100 system.

Controlling the ILC-100x
The ILC-100x Controllers contain a sophisticated color computer that can be used to select any “color” from a palette of nearly
16 millions possible choices. Rather than expecting the user to be a seasoned color scientist who well understands how to
precisely mix the three primary colors of Red, Green, and Blue, (the constituent components from which all color of light can be
created), the ILC-100x Controller implements a unique color selection tool similar to what is integrated within a color television
works.
On each of User Interface Controls that can be used to choose, save and recall a color within the ILC-100x Controllers, there are
three basic controls that must be understood in order to proceed. These controls are as follows:
Hue Control: Saturation is typically synonymous with the vividness of hue; degree of difference from a gray of the same
lightness or brightness. There are two controls available with this operator—UP and DOWN. Selecting UP, increases the Hue
while selecting the DOWN, decreases the Hue.
Lightness Control: Lightness is typically synonymous with the relative darkness or lightness of a color. There are two controls
available with this operator—UP and DOWN. Selecting UP increases the Lightness, while selecting DOWN, decreases the
Lightness.
Saturation Control: Saturation is typically synonymous with the vividness of hue; degree of difference from a gray of the same
lightness or brightness. There are two controls available with the operator—UP and DOWN. Selecting UP increases the
Saturation, while selecting DOWN, decreases the Saturation.
Steps to Select and Recall a “Color” using a BSKP-2110L Keypad or ILC-IR-10W1 IR Remote
1. Activate LED.To quickly activate one or more default factory presets and further test your system, depress the Preset button
and then select one of six keypad or IR presets (i.e. 1,2,3,4,5,6). The connected LEDs should change color from their
previous setting to a factory programmed default for that particular Preset. If the LEDs do not illuminate, check your wiring,
and make sure that your power supply is properly connected. If you may have inadvertently written over an “OFF” setting to a
particular Preset, try each additional Preset until the LEDs come alive. Now proceed to the next step.
2. Select Hue. Provided that there is some illumination being generated from the LEDs, press and release the Tool button and
then press and hold the Hue+ button and you should see a distinct color shift over the next 10-15 seconds which will
automatically circle around the entire color wheel. Once you have found a “color” which is roughly what you desire, release
the Hue + button and the newly discovered color will “freeze.” You can alternatively push the Hue – button (within a six
second window) and see the colors rotate the opposite direction over the next 10-15 seconds until they come full circle to the
original color. Once you have “rediscovered” the original “color” that you previously selected, proceed to the next step.
3. Select Lightness. Next, to alter the Lightness of the previously selected “color,” press and release the Tool button and then
press and hold the Lightness + button and you should see a distinct brightening of the previously selected “color.”
Alternatively, select the Lightness – button (within a six second window) and you should see a distinct darkening of the
previously selected “color.” You can always return an previously selected “color” by either selecting the Lightness + button
or the Lightness – button. Once you have “rediscovered” the original “color” that you previously selected proceed to the
next step.
4. Select Saturation. Next, to alter the Saturation of the previously selected “color,” press and release the Tool button and
then press and hold the Saturation + button and you should see a distinct change in the saturation of the color.
Alternatively, select the Saturation – button (within a six second window) and you should see a distinct de-saturation of the
previously selected “color.” You can always return an previously selected “color” by either selecting the Saturation + button
or the Saturation – button. Once you selected the correct Saturation value, you can now save the chosen “color” made of
up discrete parameters relating to Hue. Lightness, and Saturation. If you decide at any time that you wish to tweak your
newly discovered “color,” simply revisit steps 2, 3 or 4 once again.
5. To Save a Color. On the BSKP-2110L, press and hold a preset button for 6 seconds until you hear a beep, then release. On
the ILC-IR-10W1 IR remote, press and release the bottom left “Store” button and then toggle one of the top 6 Preset buttons.
These special keypad actions will store that particular color into that particular Preset location. Once you have saved your
“color,” you can recall that specific “color” by following the above directions again for your particular User Interface Device.
6. To Recall a Color. On the BSKP-2110L, toggle the “Preset” button and then select one of the six Preset buttons into which a
particular color has been stored. On the ILC-IR-10W1 IR remote, toggle the “P” (Preset) button and then select one of the six
Preset buttons into which a particular color has been stored. You can recall up to six colors through this process.

Infrared Eye Wiring
1. If you are using a BSKP-type keypad with built-in IR receiver, see the instructions
above under “BSKP-2110L” for proper wiring.
2. If you are using an IMC-RIR standalone IR receiver, simply plug the provided
connector into Port 0 of the ILC-100.
Note: If you plug the communication cable from either the BSKP or the RIR into Port
1 on the ILC-100, no power will be provided to the receiving device, and it will
not operate.
e-Node Wiring
1. Create a straight-thru 6-connector cable with RJ-25 (6P6C) connectors on both
ends. Maintain twisted pairs for pins 1/6, pins 2/5 and pins 3/4.
2. Plug one end of the communication cable into the left port of the IBT-100 and the
other into Port 0 of the ILC-100.
Note: In normal operation, either RJ-25 port on the e-NodeTM is configured to send
and received CS-Bus traffic. See the e-NodeTM User Manual for alternative
options to reconfigure the ports to other communication protocols.

#1 No connect
#2 No connect
#3 One end of a 120 ohm resistor
#4 The other end of a 120 ohm resistor
#5 No connect
#6 No connect
Note: The IBT-100 has a built-in terminator so no additional terminating resistors are
needed on its end of the bus if the IBT-100 is utilized. Keypads have rear-mounted jumpers
to select termination on or off (connected pins is on), while other peripherals such as IR
receivers do not have built-in terminatin
resistors
so a terminatin
resistor is re
uired.
