Tint Driver
DR250
Installation Guide
INTRODUCTION
Each unit of Halio smart tinting glass is controlled by a Halio
Tint Driver. The Tint Driver supplies the precise power
required to achieve the desired tint level, quickly, efficiently,
and reliably. Tint Drivers are housed in the Halio Component
Cabinet.
The Tint Driver communicates with the Halio System Gateway
wirelessly using mesh networking. Tinting is automatically
controlled by the Halio cloud-based software. However, the
Tint driver also provides a local user interface for setup,
manual control, and troubleshooting.

PREREQUISITES TO INSTALLATION
Before beginning the Tint Driver installation, ensure:
•Advanced System Design has been completed for the
site and you have the necessary design, layout and
installation details
•Halio System Power Disconnect has been installed
and connected to the building’s power supply.
•Halio System Power Supply has been installed and
connected to outputs from the Halio Power
Disconnect switch.
•Halio Component Cabinet where the Tint Driver(s)
will be mounted has been properly installed.
•Power from the System Power Supply has been
properly connected to the Energy Manager(s) within
the Cabinet (or directly to the terminal blocks where
applicable).
•Power output cabling from Energy Manager(s) has
been connected to the terminal blocks that will
supply power through the wiring harness to each
Tint Driver slot.
•The System Disconnect, System Power Supply, and
Component Cabinet are all properly grounded
through the provided connections.
•Halio System Gateway has been installed in the
Component Cabinet and has been provisioned to the
Halio Cloud.
•A Halio Driver Cable is connected to the desired
Halio glass units and routed into the appropriate
Component Cabinet to the intended Driver location.
•You have access to the Halio Installer App used for
Halio system provisioning.
INSTALLING TINT DRIVERS IN CABINET
To install Halio Tint Drivers:
1. Ensure the Halio System Power Disconnect (or other
approved safety disconnect) is set to the ON position to
supply power to the devices in the Component Cabinet.
2. Trim any excess Driver Cabling to align the cable to the
target cabinet slot.

3. Trim back approximately 2” of the outer jacket of each
unterminated Driver Cable to expose the 8 insulated
conductors.
4. Strip approximately ¼” of insulation from each conductor
of the Driver Cable to prepare it for termination.
5. Securely terminate each cable conductor into the
appropriate terminal of the male 8-position driver
connector as shown below.
Position 1 - Red
Position 2 - Green
Position 3 - Orange
Position 4 - Yellow
Position 5 - Blue
Position 6 - White
Position 7 - Gray
Position 8 - Brown
6. Plug the 8-position connector terminating the Driver
Cable into the mating 8-position control port on the left
side of the Tint Driver and confirm it is securely seated.
7. In the Component Cabinet, snap each Tint Drivers onto
the din rail using the following
guidelines:
a. Start at the bottom open slot
in the cabinet and work your
way up one driver at a time.
b. Where a black positioning pin
is available in the back of the
cabinet (1 in 6 slots), slide the
back of the driver onto the
black pin as you snap the
driver onto the rail.
8. Plug the 48VDC 2-wire power connector supplied on the
right side of the Component Cabinet (and aligned to each
slot) into each Tint Driver’s matching power input port.
9. Confirm the Tint Driver powers up by viewing the status
LED to the left of the Tint and Clear Buttons.
PROVISIONING TINT DRIVERS
Tint Driver provisioning sets which individual unit of Halio
glass in a building a Tint Driver will control and configures
secure wireless communication between each Tint Driver and
the Halio System Gateway.
Tint Drivers are typically provisioned as part of preparing a
Halio system to ship to a jobsite. If a Tint Driver was not
provisioned prior to shipment, the Halio Installer App can be
used onsite by a trained Halio installer to provision each Tint
Driver installed in the previous section. For more information,
refer to Halio Installer App User Guide.
USING TINT DRIVER BUTTONS & LEDs
STATUS LED
•Green – Powered ON, provisioned successfully to
communicate with a Halio System Gateway
•Blue Blinking - actively tinting. Blinks Fast when current is
high, slower as current reduces.
•White Blinking – Actively clearing. Blinks fast when
current is high, slower as current reduces.
•Red Solid - wire fault detected or not connected to Halio
glass.
•Amber– Not connected to mesh network or there is a
problem with the mesh network. See Troubleshooting for
help resolving the issue.
TINT Button - Front of driver
•Press - Starts and stops glass tinting. If the tint button is
not pressed again after the driver starts tinting, the
driver will tint the glass to maximum tint level.
CLEAR Button - Front of driver
•Press – Starts and stops glass clearing. If the clear button
is not pressed again, the driver will clear the glass to the
maximum clear state. The LED may flash white for
several minutes while this completes.
ID Button – Right side of driver (near power input port)
•Press – Use to start a Thread network join process. Press
it when instructed to do so by the Halio Installation App.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Issue: No power being supplied to the Tint Driver.
Possible Solutions:
•Ensure Mains power circuit breakers that supply power
to Power Disconnect are ON.
•Ensure the Power Disconnect is set to ON.
•Ensure all wiring connections are correctly fastened on
the input and output of the Power Disconnect screw
terminals.
•Use a multi-meter to check the appropriate voltage is
present at the inputs and outputs.
General Troubleshooting Tips
When you do not know where to start, think small.
•Check all wire connections.
•Read LEDs or error codes on one device at a time.
•Manually see if you can tint or bleach the windows using
the buttons on the left side of the driver.
•Confirm wireless communication between the Gateway
and drivers by moving drivers closer or using the external
antenna option of the Gateway.
