ALIS Tube Coupler best practice clip on procedure
The new ALIS Tube Coupler 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 coupler 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 cable 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.

System description
The Greengage induction system (ALIS) is a 'contactless' power technology that allows fixtures (ALIS Tube
Couplers) to be clipped onto the cable (ALIS Bus) to provide power without an actual physical electrical
connection which can to then be used to power LED units (ALIS Tubes).
It works on the principle of distributing a highly regulated alternating current at 50 kHz along the ALIS Bus to the
ALIS Tube Couplers and ALIS Tubes.
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.
ALIS system components
ALIS is shipped as component parts for assembly on site. There is an option to purchase a pre-configured Power
Hub panel ready for direct install.

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 10 of 28
Version 4.37 • CE • ALIS Tube Lamp
21 May 2019
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.

2 Channel x 500W
ALIS Dimmer
in enclosure
ALIS Power Hub Panels
(shown with DTD Controller providing 0-10V input)
Please note: Diagrams above for illustration purposes.
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 as per local wiring regulations. Due to the heat
generated by the ALIS Power Hub please contact [e-mail] for further
advice if required.
2. ALIS Tube connection (lengths 0.6m, 0.9m and 1.2m)
Reference the lamp positioning information, found within the lighting design plan in conjunction with section 5.0
of this manual. If there is not any positioning information available, then contact your supplier for further advice.
Take note of the lamp position and place the first ALIS Tube as follows.
1. Clip the first ALIS Tube onto the catenary wire carrier utilising the two channels provided at either end.
Place a fixing clip over each channel of the ALIS Tube to hold it in place.

Page 11 of 28
Version 4.37 • CE • ALIS Tube Lamp
21 May 2019
2. At this point further ALIS Tubes may be mounted and connected together, either directly joined or via the
0.3m or 0.5m connection cables as the design dictates, by mating the two connector halves and twisting
the outer nut. Note a maximum of 3.6m of ALIS Tube length of various size combinations may be
connected together to an ALIS Tube Coupler.
3. After deciding which free end of the ALIS Tube is best suited, connect the ALIS Tube coupler cable to that
end and an ALIS End Connector to the other as described in 2 above.
Depict close-up of tubes with coupler and end connector in place.
2.1 ALIS Tube Lamp coupler connection.
At the desired ALIS Tube Coupler position un-twist, the ALIS-Bus by approximately 20cm by inserting your thumbs
in the twist and sliding left and right equally. Fully open the ALIS Tube Coupler and place the ALIS-Bus into the
ALIS Tube 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. Note If this information places the ALIS Tube Coupler near an
obstruction such as a system partition, ensure the ALIS Tube Coupler is moved to at least 15cm from this point to
allow movement during washout.
Once positioned within the Coupler Housing, bring the two lid sections together and close. Caution Ensure that
the ALIS Bus is not trapped when closing the Coupler and the ALIS-Tube Coupler ferrite surfaces are clean and
free from grit. Note Ensure a minimum 3cm 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 Tube Lamps to the desired position along the ALIS-Bus. Once completed cable tie
the ALIS-Bus to the catenary wire. Note Place the first two cable ties a minimum of 20 cm each side of the ALIS
Coupler ensuring the catenary wire supports the ALIS-Tube Coupler on its clip. Add the remainder of the cable ties
between 30cm to 40cm apart to ensure the ALIS-Bus does not droop at any point.
3. Electrical installation section
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.

3.2 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
Note: All cable points must have glands fitted for strain relief and to maintained IP rating.

Version 4.37 • CE • ALIS Tube Lamp
21 May 2019
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 coupler/tube 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 ALIS Couplers and Lengths of ALIS Tubes per ALIS Bus per ALIS Power Hub. This should
ideally not exceed 40 x 10W ALIS Tube Couplers (see also section 3.3) or 3.6m of ALIS Tubes per ALIS Tube
Coupler. If in doubt contact [e-mail]
3. Check each chain of ALIS Tubes are connected to each other, an ALIS Tube Couplers and an ALIS Tube End
Connector.
4. Check the ALIS ETM termination. Ensure the ALIS Bus cable is properly terminated.
5. Ensure the ALIS Dimmer is properly connected to the ALIS Bus.
6. Ensure the ALIS Dimmer is properly connected to the ALIS Power Hub.
7. Ensure the control cable (ALIS Dimmer Pot or independent 0-10VDc screened analogue voltage cable)
is properly connected to the ALIS Dimmer.
8. 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 supply must be disconnected before continuity
testing is attempted.

5.2 Fault finding guide
1. Firstly, ascertain what is or isn’t happening with the system. There are commonly two scenarios.
ALIS Tube(s) are completely extinguished.
ALIS Tube(s) are flashing or flickering.
2. Once i or ii has been ascertained the next step is to find the reason.
3. ALIS Tube (s) are completely extinguished. If there is just one or more, but not all, ALIS Tubes extinguished,
first check their through connection(s) to the associated ALIS Tube Coupler and ALIS Tube End Connector.
If these are OK open the associated ALIS Tube Coupler and remove it from the ALIS Bus at the same time
inspecting the cable for damage. Check the ALIS Tube Coupler is free of contaminates and if required clean with
a soft cloth. If the ALIS Bus is OK refit the ALIS Tube Coupler. If the problem has not been resolved replace the
ALIS Tube Coupler or problem ALIS Tube.
4. If all ALIS Tube s are extinguished continue as follows.
i. Check the ALIS Hub status LED as described on page 9 and attempt to resolve the problem by carrying
out the listed actions.
If the ALIS Hub status LED is showing a steady green light, and a competent person is present, bypass the ALIS
dimmer by first disconnecting the 230VAC supply to the ALIS Hub, disconnect the ALIS Dimmer from the ALIS Hub
and ALIS Bus and connect the ALIS Hub directly to the ALIS Bus, reconnect the 230VAC supply to the ALIS Hub.
This will confirm whether the ALIS Dimmer has a problem.
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 replace the power
hub, firstly carrying out the check list on page 8.
5. ALIS Tube(s) flashing or flickering. If this is the observed fault, then in all probability the ALIS hub is not the
problem. Firstly, ascertain whether it is a few ALIS Tubes or all the ALIS Tubes on the ALIS Bus, if it is
continuous or only occurs at certain times of day. Has it only just started to happen?
ii. If there are only a few of the ALIS Tubes showing fault symptoms, then in all likelihood it is a local
problem to those ALIS Tubes and ALIS Tube Couplers. First check the through connection(s) to the
associated ALIS Tube Coupler and ALIS Tube End Connector. If these are OK open the ALIS Tube Coupler
and remove it from the ALIS Bus at the same time inspecting the cable for damage. Check the ALIS Tube
Coupler is free of contaminates and if required clean with a soft cloth. If the ALIS Bus is OK refit the ALIS
Tube Coupler. If the problem has not been resolved replace the ALIS Tube Coupler or problem ALIS Tube.
iii. If it is all the ALIS Tubes on the ALIS Bus and the ALIS 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 considerably amount of time may be required, but in the
end, it should be easily remedied.
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] 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, neverboth 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.
