Important Safeguards
Read Instructions We recommend that you read
this Instruction Manual prior to commencement of
installation. Retain these instructions and give the
end user the 'Changing Scenes Using the Program
Key' guide on page 8, if applicable.
Troubleshooting - If problems are encountered,
please check the troubleshooting section on page
9 before calling Ex-Or technical support.
Special Programming This device will only
operate in ‘basic’ mode unless programmed via a
computer. Should programming be required,
contact Ex-Or for details. Once the data cable is
connected to the device(s), the factory default
settings will allow any control panel to control all
channels in all dimmers.
Power Sources This device should only be
operated from the type of supply specified on the
front panel. This device must be earthed.
Output Circuits The load on a single circuit
should not exceed 10A for a dimmed channel and
10A for a switched channel. Loads should be
calculated to ensure that the total device load of
40A (10A per pair of channels: 1 & 5, 2 & 6, 3 & 7,
4 & 8) is not exceeded.
Load Control Circuits If this device is being
used to control 1-10V, DSI or DALI broadcast
HF Fluorescent Ballasts, a 2 core LV control
cable is required to be run to the loads, in
addition to the mains feed.
Load Type Default settings are for load control
outputs to be 1-10V. Check to see what type of HF
Fluorescent Ballasts are in the luminaires. Do not
terminate the control lines to any DSI or DALI loads
until the relevant channel has been programmed
as DSI or DALI. When connecting 1-10V load
control lines, pay attention that the correct polarity
is maintained.
Megger Testing Do not megger test any circuitry
connected to the dimming system, as damage to
the electronics may result.
Mounting Location This device must be mounted
the right way up, on a vertical surface (refer to page
4 for mounting instructions). The specified
minimum clearance of 200mm for all sides must be
adhered to. Install in a dry, well-ventilated location.
This device may emit some mechanical noise.
Take this into account when deciding the mounting
location.
Data Cable The recommended minimum grade of
cable for connections to the programming socket is
Category 5 FTP (screened). This cable should be
segregated from mains cables by a minimum
distance of 300mm. If expected cable runs are over
600 metres for bus cables or 12 metres for
analogue cables, consult Ex-Or for advice. Do not
cut or terminate live data cables.

Select a suitable location
This device is designed for indoor use only. If
installing in an external location, the device
must be housed in a suitable well-ventilated
enclosure. Choose a dry location, that will be
accessible after the installation is complete.
To ensure the cooling system functions
correctly, the device should only be mounted
vertically, the right way up. The device will
generate heat when operating, approximately
2 Watts per Amp of load, and requires an air
gap of 200mm on each side and at the top and
bottom of the device. This air gap is also
required to ensure serviceability of the device
without complete removal from the mounting
surface. This device may emit some
mechanical noise. Take this into account
when deciding the mounting location.
Fixing the Device
The device has integral mounting brackets
attached to the enclosure. The brackets are
designed to accommodate fixing screws up to
8mm diameter. The device can be fixed to the
wall without opening the cabinet or removing
the cover. Make sure no dust or other debris
enters the device during installation. Do not
leave the front cover off for any length of time.
Excessive dust and dirt can degrade the
cooling of internal components.
Allow For Cable Entry
Supply and Load cables should enter the
device at the top. If these cables are fed from
below the mounting position, they should be
routed around the device to enter at the top.
An alternative method is to stand the device off
from the mounting surface by mounting it on a
cable tray or a ‘Unistrut’ style product. The
cables can then be routed between the device
and the mounting surface, and enter the
device via the cutout provided on the mounting
face. The control cables enter at the bottom of
the device. Control cables should never be
run in the mains voltage sections of the device.

SMD810 Instruction Manual - W4386A
Supply Cables
The supply input terminals are located toward the
middle of the enclosure and consist of Earth, Neutral,
2
and Live, all of which will accept up to 10mm cables.
The supply cables should have a capacity of 40A to
allow the device to be loaded to its maximum capacity.
Load Cables
Load cables can be terminated on the 16-way load
terminal strip (one Live/Neutral pair for each channel)
and an Earth link located at the centre of the PCB.
2
These connectors will accept up to two 4mm cables. It
is important that an individual output circuit is not
overloaded. Calculate the intended load, and ensure
that it is below the maximum capacity of an individual
channel - Note that current for emergency lighting also
adds to the load at each breaker. Channels 1-4 are
dimmed channels with a maximum capacity of 10A per
channel. Channels 5-8 are switched channels, with a
maximum capacity of 10Aper channel.
Note:
Channel 1 (leading edge phase control) & Channel 5
(switched output): Combined rating = 10A
Channel 2 & Channel 6: Combined rating = 10A
Channel 3 & Channel 7: Combined rating = 10A
Channel 4 & Channel 8: Combined rating = 10A
To ensure compliance with interference standards, the
load Neutral cables must be individually connected to
the neutral link terminals inside the cabinet. Never use
a common Neutral at a remote location.
Load Control Cables
Load Control cables can be terminated on the 8 way
terminal strips located directly below the Load
terminals. These terminals are labelled CH5 to CH8,
and can operate in tandem with the corresponding
Load Outputs, or can be programmed to operate
independently. 1-10V, DSI or DALI broadcast is
selected by reprogramming via computer. Install the
jumper for 1-10V operation (factory default). Note that
1-10V HF Fluorescent Ballast control wiring is polarity
conscious. DSI and DALI ballasts are not polarity
conscious.
Emergency Lighting Connections
Connect emergency lighting circuits to the load side on
the circuit breaker for the relevant channel, as
indicated by the labels next to the circuit breakers. Do
not remove any cables that may already be terminated
at this location.
Energising the Device
If it is necessary to energise load circuits before any
control cables are connected, it is acceptable to
replace the cover and power up the device
immediately, as the default factory programming is to
have all channels set to 100% output. If there is no
output on any or all channels, see the troubleshooting
section on page 9. This device should be powered
down before terminating the control and data cables.

RJ12 Socket Connections
Connect Data Cable in a "Daisy Chain"
SceneSelect Bus Cable Connections
There is one bus port in the form of an RJ12
socket on the front panel. This is used for the
tem por ary co nne cti on of a P C for
programming purposes. There are more
terminals on the main circuit board for
permanent connections. Use Category 5 FTP
(screened) cable as a minimum. It should be
segregated from mains cables by a minimum
distance of 300mm. Recommended cable
types include:
Belden 9503
RS Components 368-687
One pair is paralleled for GND, one pair
paralleled for +12V, and one pair used for
DATA+ and DATA -.
Recommended Cable Colour Coding
Green/White pair paralleled for GND
Orange/White pair paralleled for +12V
Blue/White pair Blue for DATA+
White for DATA-
The colour coding scheme used is not critical,
as long as the same scheme is used
throughout the installation.
The screen of the data cable must be
connected where there is a terminal
provided.
Bus Cable Connecting Method
All devices on the SceneSelect Bus should be
connected together via a 'daisy-chain'
arrangement. 'Spurs' or 'stubs' off the
SceneSelect Bus are not permitted. Devices
may be connected in any order ensuring that
the first and last devices on the system
terminate one SceneSelect Bus cable only -
see diagram, left. Should the cable run exceed
600 metres then SBE Bus Extenders should
be used.

Incandescent lamps are easily dimmed using all SceneSelect II dimmers. The
soft start and voltage limiting features will extend lamp life. Lamp life can be
further extended using the voltage limit adjustment.
Tungsten halogen and other transformer loads are easily dimmed using all
SceneSelect II dimmers. The soft start, cleanup and surge limiting features will
protect lamps against premature failure. Lamp life can be extended using the
voltage limit adjustment.
Can be dimmed to as low as 1% using a dimmable electronic ballast.
No de-rating is necessary with electronic ballasts. 1-10V, DSI and DALI
ballasts can be controlled.
Some types of 4 pin PL lamps can be successfully dimmed using dimmable
electronic ballasts.
Only argon filled neon lamps can be reliably dimmed. The power factor
capacitors need to be wired to the supply side of the dimmer. Cabling and
controllers should be de-rated by approx 60% to allow for reactive current. Any
open circuit monitoring on the neon transformer must be suitable for dimming.
