Accessing the Mounting Holes
The mounting holes are located within the rear panel of the
Source Controller. To access the mounting holes (and circuit
wiring terminals) it is necessary to remove the front panels.
To Remove the Front Panels
CAUTION: If removing panels on a previously installed Source
Controller, ensure that all power inputs are isolated first.
1. Open the main panel door.
2. Remove the two upper and two lower screws that hold
the main panel in place and carefully lift off the complete
panel.
3. Now remove the single upper and single lower screw
holding the right side panel in place. Carefully lift off the
panel.
4. For 24 circuit models, repeat step 3 for the left side panel.
To Replace the Front Panels
1. Replace the side panel(s) first. Place the right side panel
onto the chassis and replace the upper and lower fixing
screws.
2. For 24 circuit models, repeat step 1 for the left side panel.
3. Place the main panel onto the chassis and open the door.
Replace the two upper and two lower fixing screws.
Supply Wiring
Wiring Flow
The Universal Source Controller range has been designed to
provide a clear layout and logical progression for all power
circuits.
The main supply conductors enter at the top panel and connect
directly to the input lugs. Input power is then fed to a central
bank of breakers and distributed from there to each of the
individual circuit cards.
Two vertical wireways (one for 6 and 12 circuit models) provide
clear routes from the circuit card outputs up to the earth
terminals and the exit knockouts within the top panel of the
chassis.
The diagram shown below indicates a typical wiring flow with
the high voltage load wiring from the various channels (and
their earth connections) exiting from the top panel.

Supply to Internal Circuitry
The internal power supply that feeds the control panel and
associated circuitry can draw its power from any and all phases
so that it will still operate in the event that not all supply phases
are available.
Load Wiring
High Voltage Load Wiring
Each load channel is served by a dedicated control card
fed from a designated circuit breaker. For each card, load
connections are made using a four-way rapid connection block.
Available at the connection block are a permanent Hot (subject
to circuit breaker status), Switched hot (via relay control),
Dimmed hot (via triac control) and Neutral - see diagram below.
ote: N Earth connections for each channel are made using the
connector blocks located at the top of each
wireway.
When supplied, a red 3-way bypass jumper is installed within
each connection block to serve three purposes:
• To bind the three outputs in order to protect each channel
card from load faults during installation
• To energize each channel output (subject to the status of the
associated circuit breaker) for use as work lighting control
during installation and
• To assist with circuit testing during commissioning
IMPORTANT: The bypass jumper must remain in place on each
channel until the commissioning process is complete.

Low Voltage Load Wiring
Each channel can be individually configured to support any of
the following low voltage load control standards: 0-10V, DSI
or broadcast DALI (DSI and DALI - Canada and Mexico Only).
The high voltage sections for each channel continue to provide
switched hot outputs to power the controlled loads.
ote: N Support for multiple low voltage load control
standards may not be permissible in certain
countries. In such cases, the required control
standard must be stated when ordering.
The low voltage load wiring circuits are located just below the
control panel, accessible either through a removable mini panel
or when the complete casing is removed.
Connections are made easy by using removable plug blocks
which snap into terminals mounted on the circuit boards shown
below:

For each circuit, the low voltage control protocol to be used is
selected using the configuration menu on the control panel.
The programming of the Source Controller channels is covered
within the accompanying System Manual.
ote: N DALI signals for each channel are output in broadcast
mode only - it is not possible to individually address mul-
tiple DALI luminaires on the same control wire.
The low voltage load control circuits are PELV (Protected Extra
Low Voltage).
Low Voltage Load Wiring Flows
The casing provides four knockouts on the base panel for use
by exiting low voltage load cables as well as control wiring.
Each knockout is 0.89 inches (22.5 mm) in diameter.
Use appropriate conduits and couplers to link with raceways or
cable runs, as necessary.
IMPORTANT: Low voltage load wiring should be installed with a
suitable separation to parallel high voltage cables, according to
local and national codes.
Indicators
An indicator is assigned to each low voltage output channel
to provide quick visual feedback. In each case, the indicator
(located next to the output connectors) will mimic the dimmed
status of the associated channel, from zero to full brightness.

Control Wiring
Multiple Control Protocols
To ensure maximum versatility, the Universal Source Controllers
provide full compatibility with a range of control protocols,
including:
• iCAN bus
• DMX512A
• RS-485
• Ethernet
Connections for the iCAN bus, DMX512A and RS-485 protocols
are made using removable plug blocks which snap into
terminals mounted on the control circuit board. A standard
RJ45 socket is provided for the ethernet connection.
In addition, a separate connector block (labeled ‘Contact
closure’) allows two volt-free switch inputs from external
systems. Subject to configuration menu settings, these inputs
can be used to affect selected channels.
The control connections are located just below the control
panel, accessible either through a removable mini panel or
when the complete casing is removed.
Termination
The iCAN, DMX and RS-485 are ‘daisy-chain’ protocols that all
require termination on the devices located at either end of the
chain.
The Switched Relay Controller provide jumper links adjacent
to the iCAN, DMX and RS-485 connectors. As standard, all of
these interfaces are terminated. To remove termination for a
particular bus, move the associated termination jumper from
the upper two pins to the lower two pins.
