• When installing or servicing the LightLink, be sure to disconnect the circuit prior to beginning
work. Use appropriate care when making connections.
• Wear proper safety equipment, including eye protection and follow proper safety precautions.
• Connect to a properly grounded branch circuit protected by a circuit breaker or fuse.
• Never wire the LightLink directly to a battery or unprotected power source.
• Always use i2Systems and/or i2Systems recommended electrical components.
• Never leave exposed wiring without using a suitable wire nut or connector when making a
connection to an electrical circuit.
• Never exceed the maximum voltage ratings. Failure to comply will damage the LightLink.
• For use on systems with voltages greater than the maximum rated voltage, use a safety agency
approved, CE marked step down power supply to convert the higher voltage to a voltage within
the specified operating range of the fixture.
• Use in dry locations only. Never submerse the LightLink module in any liquid or store where liquid
will collect, pool, or puddle.
• Use wiring that is rated for +105°C or higher. Minimum wire size is 18awg (0.75mm2).
Make all connections prior to applying power. Wiring the product while power is on may result in personal injury.
Damage to this product caused by wiring while power is on voids the warranty. Read all instructions prior to
installation.
To reduce the risk of fire, burns, or injury, use lights only in the manner intended by i2Systems. Should you have
questions regarding your installation, please contact i2Systems before applying power. Product should be installed by
a licensed electrician.

INSTALLED
LightLink control inputs, where specified, meet controllable ballast standards in IEC 60929:2006 Annex E.
Upon power up, regardless of the available inputs, LightLink will default to the +10V Source Mode.
If this is not the desired input for your setup, then install the supplied jumper connector to +10V Source and Common prior to power up.
This will put LightLink into Input Discovery Mode when it powers up. In this mode, it will cycle through the LED indicator colors searching for
inputs. Once it discovers a valid input, it will light the appropriate LED color (see table below).
STATUS INDICATOR: Purple
WIRING: Connect a Normally Open (NO), Momentary (MOM) switch or contact between positions MOM (Pin 1) and Common (Pin 6). Connect provided
Jumper to +10V Source (Pin 2) and Common (Pin 1).
OPERATION: Press and hold Momentary switch to initiate dimming cycle. Dimming cycle continues to dim as long as switch is engaged, ranging from
100% to approximately 5% intensity, holding 2 seconds at each position before dimming the opposite direction. Briefly press and release Momentary
switch for on/o operation. Non-Linear Dimming.

STATUS INDICATOR: Blue
WIRING: Connect a 0 to +10V DC control signal to 0-10V Ref (Pin 3). The associated DC control common connects to Common (Pin 6). Typical LightLink sink
current is 500uA or less. In this mode of operation, the LightLink will react to the dimmer / control output from 0 to 10VDC. The dimmer / control unit supplies
a 0 to 10VDC voltage for the LightLink to reference.
OPERATION: Dimming occurs between 1 and 10VDC. 10 VDC provides 100% intensity. 1VDC provides 0% intensity. Linear Dimming.

STATUS INDICATOR: Green
WIRING: Connect only to an IEC 60929 Annex E compatible 1-10V analog dimmer / dimming panel. +10V (typically purple) connects to +10V Source (Pin
2). Common (typically grey) connects to Common (pin 6). Typical LightLink Source current is 500uA or less. In this mode of operation, the LightLink will
source current to the dimmer / control unit which will then provide a 0 to 10VDC reference. This function is similar to a traditional fluorescent dimming
ballast.
OPERATION: Dimming occurs between 1 and 10VDC. 10 VDC provides 100% intensity. 1VDC provides 0% intensity. Linear Dimming.
EXAMPLE:
NOTE: This dimming mode is less commonly used than the
+10V Source mode. Be sure to verify the 0 to 10V dimming
method prior to LightLink installation.

LightLink provides simple dimming integration to i2Systems products. Two modes of operation are available: Control Dim and Power Dim.
DEFINITION OF PINS:
DIM: Dim (Pin 1) output provides a dimming control signal and current path to COMMON (Pin 3) and is for use with dimmable
i2systems products.
COMMON: Common (Pin 3) provides a common reference to DIM (Pin 1).
TYPES OF DIMMING:
Control Dim: Control Dimming is the most common configuration whereby i2Systems LED based fixtures receive voltage and current from
an independent power source. In this case the DIM (Pin 1) output provides a dimming control signal to the i2Systems fixture.
Power Dim: Power Dimming occurs where the i2Systems LED based fixture does not include control wiring; rather the LightLink LL-105-R
is configured to interrupt the DC Power Ground connected to the LED fixture. For normal Power Dim operation, install the Orange Selector
Jumper included with your LightLink.
Absolute Maximum Current Sink is 2.25 Amps.
Note: In Power Dim installations, failure to connect the COMMON (Pin 3) directly to the LED Fixture Ground will result in damage to the
LL-105-R.

INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
POWER SUPPLY SELECTION
When not connecting to a DC battery system, i2Systems recommends the use of UL Class 2, isolated power supplies and
transformers for powering i2Systems LED light fixtures and LightLink dimming modules. Power supplies and transformers used
should be properly sized based on power load and ambient operating temperature ratings.
POWERING LIGHTLINK
When not connecting to a DC battery system, i2Systems recommends powering the LightLink from a non-switched, isolated
power supply to ensure that the LightLink remains powered under all lighting conditions (on, o, or dimmed). In either case,
switching the LightLink on and o with the lighting load may result in undesirable visual eects, including light flashing with
power on and power o.
USING MORE THAN 1 LIGHTLINK
When using more than 1 LightLink, please adhere to the following guidelines:
• One LightLink should be used per power supply / transformer. Do not use one LightLink to dim products connected
to multiple power sources.
• Multiple LightLinks may be used on one power supply / transformer.
• When using multiple LightLinks and multiple power supplies connected to the same dimming control, please consult
i2Systems for application support.

LIGHTLINK PLACEMENT
i2Systems recommends installing LightLink products in close proximity to the i2Systems products connected to the LightLink
output (maximum wire run length is 100 feet). The LightLink should be installed such that it is serviceable and accessible for
system troubleshooting as required.
WIRE SELECTION
• Input Power: recommended wire type is stranded, 18awg, 105°C rating
• Control Input: recommended wire type is stranded, 18awg, 105°C rating
• Control Output: recommended wire type is stranded, 18awg, 105°C rating,
Wire should be Twisted Pair or Shielded to prevent possible interference on the Dim Line.
The above wire specifications are for reference purposes only. Be sure to consult local building and electrical codes
and/or ocials prior to installing wiring to ensure full compliance with local and national requirements.
