ALIS Barn Lamp best practice clip on procedure
The new ALIS Barn Lamp has been designed with improved durability and ingress protection against dust and high-
pressure water jets. To ensure the longevity of the lamp it is important to follow the correct fixing procedure.
1. At the desired lamp position un-twist,
the ALIS Bus by approximately 20cm
(8”).
Undo the end clips by holding the lamp
and applying gentle pressure to the
hook part of the clip and pushing away
from the body of the lamp.
Excessive pressure may cause the clip
to come out of the hinge.
This is designed to happen as this
is a replaceable field part. If this
happens then simply push the clip back
into the hinge.
2. Undo the side clips by holding the
lamp firmly and applying equal pressure
with thumb to the clip, one corner at a
time.
3. Lift the upper coupler back on its
hinge and check the position of the
seal.
Due to the compression the seal may
have stuck to the upper coupler.
If this has occurred, then peel the seal
off and position it in the lower coupler
ensuring it has seated correctly.
4. Ensure the ALIS Bus is clean, free
from grit and undamaged.
Position the ALIS Bus on the seal in the
lower coupler, ensure it is correctly
seated then push it firmly into the guide
clips.
5. Ensure that all the clips on the
coupler are fully disengaged before
closing the upper coupler.
Position the coupler lid squarely and
press down in place to ensure correct
fit.
6. Once correctly seated maintain firm
pressure clamping the couplers closed
before first closing the end clips.
7. To close the side clips, press firmly
with equal pressure both ends of
opposed clips to ensure the clips lock
into position securely.
8. To close the side clips, press firmly
with equal pressure both ends of
opposed clips to ensure the clips lock
into position securely.
9. Check that the four side clips are
completely closed.

Installation procedures
Introduction
The installation procedures section is divided into three parts; mechanical, lamp connection and electrical.
Each section must be carried out by suitably trained competent personnel. Care must be taken on the electrical
installation as local electrical regulations may apply.
1. Mechanical Installation
1.0 General Guidance
In this section you will find guidance for the mechanical installation. This is the process of physically fitting the
components within the environment.
The importance of correct mechanical installation should not be underestimated as it can be very difficult
and costly to correct afterwards. It is therefore worthwhile discussing the mechanical fitting at an early
stage with either the house builder or installer to ensure that correct placement of the ALIS lamps within
the house is possible. If not, a redesign of the lighting plan may be required.
1.1 ALIS Bus Cable Suspension
The lamp positioning information is found within the lighting design plan. It is recommended that the ALIS Bus cable
is supported by cable ties to a catenary wire, which is itself supported every three to four metres (10 to 13 feet) and
tensioned by use of a turnbuckle ensuring that the supporting infrastructure is sufficient to support the combined
weight of the ALIS system. Ensure there is adequate load spreading at both ends.
It is important to avoid sharp bends, returns, kinks and knots in the ALIS Bus cable. Excess cable should be
removed and not coiled or wrapped especially around metal elements. The use of non-ferrous metal cable
ties must be used if passing over or near emergency access points.
Load Spreader

Page 9of 33 Version 5.4 • CE and UL • ALIS Barn Lamp and ALIS Nest Lamp 28 August 2019
1.2 ALIS Power Hub Mounting
It is recommended that the ALIS Power Hub is mounted vertically on a non-combustible surface, mounted away
from sources of heat, water and direct sunlight and in accordance with site and local regulations. Clearances of
100mm (4”) top and bottom, and 75mm (3”) from left to right are recommended, this is to allow good air flow.
Where applicable the Hub must be housed within a suitable enclosure. Other mounting options i.e. Rack, or floor
mounting can be used if the above recommendations are adhered to.
1.3 ALIS Dimmer Mounting
The ALIS Dimmer can be mounted, either horizontally or vertically on a non-combustible surface, mounted away
from all combustible materials, sources of heat, water and direct sunlight and in accordance with site and local
regulations. The Dimmer should be mounted in the same enclosure as the Hub, if this is not possible then the ALIS
Dimmer enclosure must be used.

2. Lamp connection
2.1 ALIS Barn Lamp
Reference the lamp positioning information, as per the lighting design or fit as required.
If the reference information places the lamp in the vicinity of an obstruction such as a roof truss, ensure
the lamp is placed 15cm (6 “) from this point to allow movement during washout. Take note of the lamp
position and place the first lamp as follows: At the desired lamp position, un-twist the ALIS Bus by
approximately 20cm (8 “) by inserting your thumbs in the twist and sliding left and right equally.
Fully open the ALIS Barn Lamp and place the ALIS Bus into the coupler housing as shown below, ensuring
the ALIS Bus is clean and free from grit. Press the ALIS Bus firmly within the guide channels.

28 August 2019 Version 5.4 • CE and UL • ALIS Barn Lamp and ALIS Nest Lamp Page 10 of 33
Once the ALIS Bus is positioned within the coupler housing, carefully bring the two coupler sections together and
close.
It is recommended to close the end clips first and then close the side clips by pressing on their outside surfaces
rather than the thumb levers.
Ensure that the ALIS Bus is not trapped when closing the coupler and the ALIS Barn Lamp ferrite surfaces
are clean and free from grit.
Ensure a minimum 3cm (1¼“) of ALIS Bus remains untwisted at the coupler entry holes. Too tight
a twist at this point can cause a lift in the coupler lid resulting in a broken seal.
Attach all the remaining ALIS Barn Lamps to the desired position along the ALIS Bus. Once completed, cable tie the
ALIS Bus to the catenary wire. Use of non-ferrous metal clips are required where the ALIS Bus goes over an
emergency escape route.
TOP TIP – When placing the lamps on the ALIS Bus first unwind the length of ALIS Bus required and start fitting
the lamps working away from the reel.
Place cable ties a minimum of 20 cm (8”) each side of the ALIS Coupler ensuring the catenary wire
supports the ALIS Barn Lamp on its clip. Add the remainder of the cable ties between lamps, 30cm to
40cm (12” to 16”) apart to ensure the ALIS Bus does not sag at any point.

2.2 ALIS Nest Lamp
The lamp positioning information is found within the lighting design plan. If there is not any positioning information
available, then fit to achieve the required lighting level within the nest box. At the desired lamp position un-twist,
the ALIS Bus to allow fitting of the nest lamp. Place one wire from the ALIS Bus into the lamp coupler slot, as shown
below, ensuring the ALIS Bus is clean and free from grit.
Without untwisting the ALIS Bus any further, as the cable twist tension is used to hold the lamp in place, slide the
second wire over the lamp housing as shown below, locating and pressing the ALIS Bus wire firmly within the guide
clip channel.
Ensure the first wire has remained fully inserted within the coupler lamp slot. Attach all the remaining ALIS Nest
Lamps to the desired position along the ALIS Bus.
Top Tip – In areas of vibration use a Tie Wrap to fasten the Nest Lamp to the ALIS Bus.

3. Electrical installation
3.0 General Guidance
In this section you will find all the necessary information for the electrical installation. This describes the process of
electrically connecting the components. Each of the components of the system will be handled in a separate
paragraph.
3.1 ALIS BUS
Route the ALIS Bus to the ALIS Power Hub location. If local regulations require encase the ALIS Bus in non-ferrous
suitable protection such as trunking or conduit
ALIS Dimmer Model IPDI110. Strip the ends of the ALIS Bus to 5mm (0.2 “) of exposed conductor,
ensuring there is not any conductor loss.
Attach the ALIS Bus to the Bus Connector into the screw terminals, as shown below. Ensure there are
no frayed copper strands. Note – There is no polarity to the ALIS Bus.
ALIS Dimmer Model IPDI230. Strip the ends of the ALIS Bus to 5mm (0.2 “) of exposed conductor,
ensuring there is not any conductor loss.
Attach the ALIS Bus to the Bus Connector into the outer screw terminals provided, as shown below. Ensure there
are no frayed copper strands. Note – There are no polarity to the ALIS Bus cables.
Note: The ALIS Bus must be connected to the pin 1 and 2.

3.2 End termination
All ALIS Dimmer Models. The correct termination of the ALIS BUS is critical to the overall system performance.
See also section 3.3 of this manual. Connect the ALIS End Termination Module (ETM) or shorting terminal block
to the far open end of the ALIS Bus.
Strip the ends of the ALIS Bus to 5mm (0.2 “) of exposed conductor, ensuring there is not any conductor loss
as shown below. Twist the exposed copper cable strands.
Insert the cable into the terminator fully, ensuring no bare cable can be seen and tighten connections. This must be
a perfect connection with no frayed copper strands. The ETM or short must be housed within an IP66 terminal
enclosure.
A. ETM (68nF) ALIS Bus connection
B. Shorted twisted pair of ALIS Bus connection
Note: All individual cable points must have glands fitted for strain relief and to maintained IP rating.

28 August 2019 Version 5.4 • CE and UL • ALIS Barn Lamp and ALIS Nest Lamp Page 14 of 33
To ensure optimum operation and stability of the system, the following recommendations should be observed.
If the length of the ALIS Bus is less than 100m then it must be terminated by means of a shorting connection to
keep the ALIS Bus in resonance with the Hub.
When the length is greater than 100m, the ALIS Bus must be terminated using the supplied ETM (68nF) to keep the
ALIS Bus in resonance with the Hub. See table below.

4. Installation checklist and system test
After the installation of the ALIS system onsite, the following checks must be carried out by a qualified electrician,
adhering to local standards and regulations, prior to applying power to the system.
1. Double check the ALIS Bus cable length connected to the ALIS Power Hub. This should not exceed 150 metres.
If in doubt contact [e-mail]
2. Count the number of lamps per ALIS Bus per ALIS Power Hub. This should not exceed specified limits. If in
doubt contact [e-mail]
3. Check the ALIS ETM termination. Ensure the ALIS Bus cable is properly terminated in line with requirements.
4. Ensure the ALIS Dimmer is properly connected to the ALIS Bus and Power Hub.
5. Ensure the ALIS Dimmer Pot or independent 0-10VDc control cable is screened, tagged and the polarity has
been observed throughout the connections.
6. Ensure that there are no open circuits within the ALIS Bus cable installation. This can be achieved by ensuring
all the connections of the Bus cable are correctly terminated.
7. Connect mains power cable to the ALIS Power Hub.
Once these points have been verified, power can then be applied to the ALIS system.
If there is an issue, then 230VAC or 120VAC supply must be
disconnected and the unit isolated before any investigation is
attempted.

such as those published by CENELEC member organisations, or those covered by IEC60364. Failure to do so
will invalidate any associated Product Warranty.
2. The ALIS Power Hub or Power Hub Panel must be earthed/grounded via a securely wired electrical connection.
It is not sufficient to rely solely on the bonded chassis alone.
3. Ensure that all external cables are of a suitable cross-sectional diameter for the intended use. All external
signals carrying cable for uses such as 0/10v must be of a suitably screened/shielded type, with the
screen/shield connected to earth at the supply end only, never both ends.
4. For the connection of external wires always use insulated ‘bootlace’ terminals, which provide a safe and good
connection, and which are well suited for the purpose.
5. Splices and cable joints must be housed within a junction box, with an IP rating suitable for the environment.
All cables must pass through suitable glands to maintain the IP rating.
6. Never use solid communication style wires such as telephone cable, even if making low voltage/current
connections, it is not suitable for any of the connectors within the ALIS range and will in time fail.
7. Cable trunking and conduit. In certain instances, ALIS Bus cable may have to be routed through lidded
electrical wire carriers. Should this situation arise please ensure that all ends are sealed, and lids correctly
fitted to stop fauna (rodent) ingress.
8. Installations should never use no more than the required length of ALIS Bus for each ALIS Power Hub.
Remove any excess end of line ALIS Bus cable at approximately 30cm (12 “) past the final lamp.
9. ALIS Bus cable should never be knotted or looped. it is also important to avoid sharp bends, returns,
and kinks. The minimum recommended bend diameter is 75mm (3 “).
10. Please note that poorly made electrical connections are often the main cause of equipment failure, which
in turn leads to livestock fatalities.
11. If the ALIS Bus passes through a hole or aperture (metal or otherwise) a suitable insulating grommet or gland
must be fitted.
12. ALIS Bus cable should never be un-twisted, apart from through the lamp coupler.
13. Under no circumstances must the ALIS Bus be switched by any means, be that relay, contactor, isolator
or circuit breaker, unless parts are supplied by Greengage Lighting for that purpose. If this is attempted the
subsequent damage caused to the ALIS Power Hub will not be covered by any Product Warranty.
14. Disconnecting the main electrical supply to the ALIS Power Hub as a means of regularly extinguishing the ALIS
Lamps must always be avoided.
15. If switching the 0/10V control signal, the selection of the switching component is extremely important, please
adhere to the instructions on the relevant circuit diagram, available from [e-mail].
Contact degradation can lead to the situation, particularly at low current levels, where the switching device
operates mechanically but effectively remains open circuit causing the ALIS lamps to remain at full brilliance.
