1. Product item
This guide rovides user o eration and roduct s ecification information for the RAPIX Lighting Control System
‘eHub’, item number DGOZ-EHUB-4G-2S.
2. Product package contents
The eHub ackage includes the following:
•1 x eHub
•1 x 12V dc SELV ower su ly.
3. Important notes and safety information
WARNING – Electric shock may result in serious injury or death. Follow all warnings in this
guide and on the roduct while working in accordance with the latest electrical safety
ractices.
•The eHub does not have a mains su ly connection. DALI Lines o erate on an ELV dc su ly between 9.5V
and 22.5V but must be considered at mains otential due to basic equi ment isolation and cable
segregation between mains and DALI. DALI is Functional Extra Low Voltage (FELV) as defined by standard
IEC61140
•The installer must be suitably qualified and should work in accordance with standard safety rocedures
for mains- owered electrical equi ment
•A ro riate segregation is to be maintained between the SELV/Data cabling and mains/DALI Line cabling
in accordance with local regulations
•There are no user serviceable arts inside the eHub. Do not attem t to disassemble or o erate the device
with any covers removed
•The eHub is intended for indoor use
•Outdoor installations will require the device to be housed in a suitable IP rated enclosure
•Consult the manufacturer’s instructions for Lighting Control Gear and other DALI units that may be
connected to the DALI Lines.
If you require information or assistance regarding the installation, configuration, or o eration of the eHub,
contact Technical Services at Diginet Control Systems. Contact details are rovided on the back cover of this guide
and also at www.diginet.net.au

4. Product summary and capabilities
The eHub is a RAPIX lighting control system device which connects between in ut eri herals and a DALI line.
The eHub manages in ut eri heral ower requirements, as well as embedded logical functions and DALI
communications for these connected in ut eri herals. The connected in ut eri herals, such as RAPIX modular
switches and PIR sensors, are then able to communicate with a DALI Line.
The unit includes four in uts for connecting to RAPIX smart in ut eri herals, and two additional in ut
connections for occu ancy sensors and/or dry contacts.
The eHub is a com act unit which fits through a standard 90mm downlight ceiling hole and is suitable for locating
in a ceiling void.
The eHub is configured via the Diginet RAPIX software suite.
5. Product features
•Powered via external 12V dc SELV ower su ly
•In ut sockets for quick and easy in ut eri heral connection
•Segregated terminal block for DALI Line connections
•LED indicators for ower, DALI and Ethernet
•Suitable for mounting in a ceiling void
•Fits through a 90mm downlight hole
•Programmed via DALI
•Four in ut connections for RAPIX smart in ut eri herals
•Two in ut connectors for occu ancy sensors and/or dry contacts in ut eri herals
•Actions for connected in ut eri herals are configurable. For exam le, a RAPIX modular switch can be
configured as a toggle dimmer, memory dimmer, long ress fade time, double ta action and many other
configurations
•Su ort for 32 'Zones', Zones being collections of DALI Grou s and/or DALI Short Addresses
•Su ort for u to 16 DALI scenes and (additionally) 16 RAPIX scenes.
6. Mounting the eHub
The eHub is suitable for mounting in a variety of
indoor locations, including above sus ended tile
ceilings and fixed lasterboard ceilings.
The eHub has an ingress rotection rating of IP20 and
as such is not rotected against moisture ingress. It is
therefore not suitable for mounting in an outdoor
environment without being housed in a suitable
weather roof enclosure.
The eHub includes two 6mm mounting holes. These
can be used to anchor the eHub in a suitable location,
ty ically using fixing screws or cable ties.

•12V dc SELV ower su ly connection
•A DALI Line, with u to 64 DALI devices (each with a DALI Short Address) connected to the line
•Four connections for RAPIX smart in ut eri herals
•Two in ut eri heral connections for dry contacts and two 12V dc sensors (Note: each pair of dry contact
and 12V dc sensor inputs are internally connected in parallel)
•An Ethernet connection (future use)

DALI Lines
must be considered at 240Vac electrical mains otential due to basic
equi ment isolation and cable segregation between mains and DALI.
Electric shock may result in serious injury or death. Follow all warnings in this guide and on
the roduct while working in accordance with the latest electrical safety ractices.
The eHub can be connected to a single DALI Line, as shown below. Se arate DALI loo -off terminals are also
rovided.
The DALI
L
ine cable has two conductors
and these are not olarity sensitive. DALI Line cabling
must be double insulated and mains rated.
Each DALI Line requires an external
DALI com liant ower su ly to be connected before it
will o erate. A Diginet DALI Power Su ly, item number DG MPS01 ( urchased se arately),
can be connected to each DALI Line to fulfil this requirement.

switch (both masters and slaves) includes two software configurable LED indicator colours, white and amber.
13.1. Features
•Two configurable LED colours, white and amber
•Fits standard Australian wall late a ertures
•Master RAPIX modular switches connect to the eHub and are owered via the eHub
•Slave RAPIX modular switches connect to a master and are owered via the master
•Ty ical functions include
•Toggle on / off
•Fade lights u or down
•Start or cancel a timer
•Recall a fixed level
•Toggle between off and the current Level
•Issue a scene
All commissioning is carried on via Diginet RAPIX software suite. The configuration is downloaded to the eHub via
a DALI line.
Do not

RAPIX modular switches
to the building/house ac mains su ly.
RAPIX modular switches are control devices which are owered by the eHub via an SELV
connection and must only be connected as described in this guide. That is, master switches are
connected to the eHub, slave switches are connected to master switches.

18. Powering the eHub
The eHub has no ower switch, therefore when connected to the 12V dc SELV ower su ly, it will ower u .
19. Commissioning and testing
Commissioning of the eHub, which forms art of a com lete RAPIX Lighting Control System, should be carried out
using the Diginet RAPIX software suite, which can be downloaded from the Diginet web site at diginet.net.au.
20. Resetting the eHub
Pressing and holding the recessed reset button (with a a ercli or similar) for 45 seconds will erform a
com lete factory reset and all settings in the eHub will be lost.
A artial reset can be carried out by ressing and holding the recessed reset button for 10 seconds. This clears
most settings, but in ut eri heral device definitions and tem late information is ke t.
21. Power surges
The eHub has no mains connection. However, induced voltages or surges may occur on electrical circuits and
communication cabling as a result of excessive voltages from external influences. Any induced voltages or surges
can damage electronic equi ment. It is strongly recommended that the electrical and data installation be fitted
with suitable over-voltage rotection at the electrical switchboard and IT cabinets to avoid these situations.
22. Insulation resistance testing
It is generally not a requirement to erform an IR test on DALI Lines. In the event it is required, the DALI line
cables must be disconnected from the eHub to conduct the test and then reconnected.
