System description
The Greengage induction system (ALIS) is a 'contactless' power technology that allows LED fixtures (ALIS Lamps)
to be clipped onto the cable (ALIS Bus) without an actual physical electrical connection.
It works on the principle of distributing a highly regulated alternating current at 50 kHz along the ALIS Bus to the
ALIS lamps.
This document serves as guidance for an ALIS installation within an intensive livestock rearing building. Installers
must also follow all applicable local electrical installation standards and wiring regulations when carrying out the
installation.

Installation procedures
Introduction
This installation procedures section is divided in three parts; mechanical, lamp connection and electrical. These
require two distinct levels of technical competency. Here the mechanical and lamp sections are classified as semi-
skilled, i.e. suitable for most agricultural mechanical fitters, whilst the electrical section is classified skilled, i.e. only
suitable for competent and qualified electricians and fitters with experience and knowledge of local electrical wiring
standards and regulations.
1. Mechanical Installation
1.0 General Guidance
In this section you will find all the necessary information for the mechanical installation. This is the process
of physically fitting the components within the building. During this process no electrical connections are made.
The importance of correct mechanical fitting from the start should not be underestimated as it can be very
difficult, costly and at times impossible to correct afterwards. It is therefore worthwhile discussing the
mechanical fitting at an early stage with either the house builder or architect 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
Reference the lamp positioning information found within the lighting design plan. It is recommended that the ALIS
Bus cable is supported by cable ties to a catenary wire, or other carrier type, which is itself supported every three to
four metres (10 to 13 feet) and tensioned by use of a turnbuckle also ensuring that the supporting infrastructure is
sufficient to support the lamps and suspension.
As the ALIS system works inductively it is important to avoid sharp bends, returns, kinks and knots in the ALIS Bus
cable. Excess cable should be removed and certainly not be coiled or wrapped especially around metal elements.
1.2 ALIS Power Hub Mounting
The ALIS Power Hub must be mounted vertically on a metal base plate within a suitable enclosure in close proximity
to the ALIS Dimmer, away from all combustible materials, sources of heat and out of direct sunlight. Clearances of
100mm (4 inches) from the top and bottom of the ALIS Power Hub and 75mm (3 inches) from the sides must be
allowed for. Please contact [e-mail] if this is not possible.

Page 9of 27 Version 5.1 • CE and UL • ALIS Barn Lamp and ALIS Nest Lamp 1 October 2018
1.3 ALIS Dimmer Mounting
The ALIS Dimmer must be mounted within the same enclosure as the ALIS Power Hub, either horizontally or
vertically in close proximity to the ALIS Power Hub. If this is not possible then the ALIS Dimmer enclosure must
be used, mounted away from all combustible materials, sources of heat and out of direct sunlight.

ALIS Power Hub Panels
(shown with DTD Controller providing 0-10V input)
Please note: The diagrams above are not to scale .
Both the ALIS Power Hub and ALIS Dimmer must be mounted within a dry and dust free location
acceptable to local wiring regulations. If this is not possible then they must be housed within a suitably
sealed enclosure that also meets local wiring regulations. Due to the heat generated by the ALIS Power
Hub please contact
[e-mail] for further advice if required.
2. Lamp connection
2.1 ALIS Barn Lamp
Reference the lamp positioning information, found within the lighting design plan in conjunction with section 6
of this manual. If there is not any positioning information available, then contact your supplier for further advice.
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 inches) 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 inches) 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 clip channels.

1 October 2018 Version 5 • CE and UL • ALIS Barn Lamp and ALIS Nest Lamp Page 10 of 27
Once the ALIS Bus is positioned within the coupler housing, carefully bring the two lid 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 (1¼inches) 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.
Place the first two cable ties a minimum of 20 cm (8 inches) 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 30cm
to 40cm (12 to 16 inches) apart to ensure the ALIS Bus does not droop at any point.
2.2 ALIS Nest Lamp
Reference sections 1. and 6. of this manual and the lamp positioning information, 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. Take note of the lamp position and place the first lamp as follows. At the desired lamp position un-twist,
the ALIS Bus by no more than 5cm (2 inches). 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.

3. Electrical installation
3.0 General Guidance
In this section you will find all the necessary information for the electrical installation. This is the process
of electrically connecting the components within the livestock building construction. Each of the components
of the system will be handled in a separate paragraph. Please also reference section 6. of this manual.
3.1 ALIS bus termination
Route the ALIS Bus to the ALIS Power Hub location, paying attention to the section 6. of this manual.
ALIS Dimmer Model IPDI230. Strip the ends of the ALIS Bus to 5mm (0.2 inch) of exposed conductor,
ensuring there is not any conductor loss.
Attach the ALIS Bus to the Bus Connector into the screw terminals provided, as shown below. Ensure there are
no frayed copper strands.
ALIS Dimmer Model AGL0004. Strip the outer insulation of the ALIS Bus to 30mm (1¼inches) taking care not
to damage the inner insulation. Strip the ends of the ALIS Bus inner insulation to 8mm (0.3 inch) of exposed
conductor, ensuring there is not any conductor loss.
Slide the orange connector cover labelled PLUG over the ALIS Bus. Attach the ALIS Bus to the orange connector
PLUG into the screw terminals provided, as shown below. Ensure there are no frayed copper strands. Slide and fix
the cover in place over the connector.
Remove the existing ALIS Bus connector from the ALIS Power Hub and cut off the remaining exposed copper
conductor. Slide the orange connector cover labelled SOCKET over the ALIS Power Hub ALIS Bus. Strip the outer
insulation of the ALIS Bus to 30mm (1¼ inches) taking care not to damage the inner insulation. Strip the ends of
the ALIS Bus inner insulation to 8mm (0.3 inch) of exposed conductor, ensuring there is not any conductor loss.
Attach the ALIS Power Hub ALIS Bus to the orange connector SOCKET into the screw terminals provided, as shown
below. Ensure there are no frayed copper strands. Side and fix cover in place over the connector.

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. The ALIS bus insulation must be properly stripped to ensure there is no to
damage the cable conductors.
Strip the ends of the ALIS Bus to 5mm (0.2 inch) 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 as shown 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, example below.
A. ETM (68nF) ALIS Bus connection
B. Short ALIS Bus connection

Page 13 of 27 Version 5.1 • CE and UL • ALIS Barn Lamp and ALIS Nest Lamp 1 October 2018
3.3 End termination rules
The ALIS systems works on an induction principle with lamps powered by a modulated AC waveform on the ALIS
Bus. To ensure optimal performance, the ALIS Bus needs to be kept in resonance with the output of the ALIS Power
Hub. As the length of the ALIS Bus and number of lamps increases its impedance changes and with that its
resonance frequency.
An ALIS Bus and lamp combination which is out of resonance can cause of the ALIS Power Hub to trip and require
a manual reset and may also reduce the operational life of the ALIS Power Hub.
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 the ALIS Bus 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.

4. Installation checklist and system test
After the successful 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 ideally not exceed 40 x 10W ALIS
Barn Lamps (see also section 3.3). If in doubt contact [e-mail]
3. Check the ALIS ETM termination. Ensure the ALIS Bus cable is properly terminated.
4. Ensure the ALIS Dimmer is properly connected to the ALIS Bus.
5. Ensure the ALIS Dimmer is properly connected to the ALIS Power Hub.
6. Ensure the control cable (ALIS Dimmer Pot or independent 0-10VDc screenedanalogue voltage cable)
is properly connected to the ALIS Dimmer.
7. Connect mains power cable to the ALIS Power Hub
Once these points have been positively verified, power can then be applied to the ALIS system.
Please 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.
If a problem is encountered, then we suggest a multi-meter is used to check continuity between the two cables at
the hub end. Please remove the ETM and join ALIS Bus to test. Ensure the ETM is reconnected after completing the
continuity test.
The 230VAC or 120VAC supply
must be disconnected before
continuity testing is attempted.

5. Fault finding
If the ALIS Lamps flash ON and OFF, this means you have too much load on the system. Start unclipping the ALIS
Lamps one at a time until the flashing stops. Recheck the recommended maximum number of lamps as shown in
section 3.3 and 4.
5.1 Led Status Indicator and Reset Button.
To facilitate fault diagnosis, the ALIS Power Hub has a bi-colour (red & green)
status indicator. To remove a fault, press the reset button. The diagram here
shows the indicator and reset button position (arrowed) on the 500W hub.

5.2 Fault Finding Guide
1. Firstly, ascertain what is or is not happening with the system. There are commonly two scenarios.
i. ALIS Lamp(s) are completely extinguished.
ii. ALIS Lamp(s) are flashing or flickering.
2. Once i or ii has been ascertained the next step is to find the reason.
3. ALIS Lamp(s) are completely extinguished. If there is just one or more, but not all, ALIS Barn Lamps
extinguished open and remove it from the ALIS Bus at the same time inspecting the cable fordamage. Check
the ALIS Barn Lamp is free of contaminates and if required clean with a soft cloth. If the ALIS Bus is OK, refit
the lamp. If the problem has not been resolved, replace the lamp.
4. If all ALIS Lamps are extinguished continue as follows.
i. Check the ALIS Power Hub status LED as described in section 5 (previous page) and attempt to resolve
the problem by carrying out the listed actions.
ii. If the ALIS Power Hub status LED is showing a steady green light, and a technically competent person is
present, bypass the ALIS Dimmer by first disconnecting the 230VAC / 120VAC supply to the ALIS Power
Hub. Then disconnect the ALIS Dimmer from the ALIS Power Hub and ALIS Bus and reconnect the ALIS
Power Hub directly to the ALIS Bus. Reconnect the 230VAC /120VAC supply to the ALIS Power Hub will
confirm whether the ALIS Dimmer has a problem.
iii. If the status LED is completely extinguished, check there is an adequate mains supply present. Once the
correct supply voltage level is ascertained attempt a power up reset. If this does not resolve the fault
carrying out the check list on page 15 before proceeding to replace the ALIS Power Hub.
5. ALIS Lamp(s) flashing or flickering. If this is the observed fault, then it is most likely that the ALIS Power Hub
isnot the problem. Ascertain whether it is a few lamps or all the lamps on the ALIS Bus. Is it continuous or only
occurs at certain times of day? Has it only just started to happen?
i. If there are only a few of the ALIS Lamps showing fault systems, then it is likely a local problem to
those lamps. Open the ALIS Barn Lamp and remove it from the cable, at the same time inspecting
for cable damage. Check the lamps for contaminates and if required cleanwith a soft cloth. If the
cable is OK, refit the lamp. If the problem has not been resolved, replace the lamp.
ii. If it is all the lamps on the ALIS Bus and the ALIS Power Hub shows no signs of fault, then it is most
probably an external issue such as electrical noise which can be very difficult to pin point. Firstly, try
to ascertain if there have been any changes in the immediate area such as new equipment installed
or any cable rerouting. As a process of elimination try to locate the problem item by switching off
other equipment. As this is a process of elimination a considerablyamount of time may be required,
but in the end, the fault should be easily remedied.
6. If any problems or faults occur that are outside any of the above, or you are having difficulties, please do not
hesitate to contact [e-mail] for further guidance.

6. General points and good practices
1. All electrical installation work must be carried out in accordance with all applicable local wiring regulations,
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, which has an IP rating suitable for the
environment. All cables must pass through suitable glands to maintain the 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 inches) 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 inches).
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 be irreparable and 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, obtainable 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.
