INTELLIGENT CONTROLS

Where?
Source Controllers (Racks) should be located in a
ventilated dry location where the ambient temperature
is within the operating range of the controller. When
choosing the installation location take the following
into account:
l  Depending on the size of the loads connected
to an Inductive or Adaptive Source Controller
it will get warm. Adequate ventilation
should be provided to ensure the ambient
temperature does not rise above 40oC.
l  Allow adequate space for future maintenance
of the unit. Do not install in a location that
will later be inaccessible.
l  Instal only on a vertical surface.
l  Depending on Source Controller type and
the loads connected, Source Controllers can
create noise. This is caused by electrical noise
suppression components within the unit. The
noise is a low level buzz that varies with the
level of dimming. If noise of this type causes a
problem, locate the Source Controller
elsewhere.
Source Controllers require ventilation and have slots
on all sides to allow for a convection flow of air
through the unit. For this reason it is important to
orientate the unit correctly and allow a minimum
space between adjacent Source Controllers and
other surfaces. A minimum of 100mm of free space
should be left either side of a Source Controller or
between adjacent Controllers.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Mounting the Source Controller in the wrong
orientation, without proper ventilation or with
inadequate airflow could result in overheating.

Installation Instructions
If a Source Controller is connecting to trunking
of depth 50mm or less, then it may be coupled
directly as shown below.
Leave 100mm of free space between
other equipment, walls etc. either side
of the equipment.
If the trunking depth is greater than 50mm,
installation of Source Controllers should be as
shown below.
Typical installation for trunking less than 50mm
depth. Source Controller connected directly to
trunking.
Typical installation where trunking depth is
greater than 50mm. Controller connected to
trunking using conduit couplers.

Installation Instructions
Simply calculate the load for each channel, add
all the loads together and this will be the size
of the supply you require. Always calculate the
supply assuming all channels working at full
output simultaneously.
For a Source Controller being fed from a 3-Phase
supply, calculate the load on each phase and
fit externally to the Controller, a suitably rated
3-pole circuit breaker. Do not apply power until
you are certain that a good Neutral connection is
present at the Source Controller.
Sample supply requirement calculations:
Example 1 - Resistive loads connected to a
4 channel 5A Inductive Source Controller.
(SCI0405S)
Channel 1 load is 300Watts
Channel 2 load is 150Watts
Channel 3 load is 1000Watts
Channel 4 load is 500Watts
Total connected load = 1950Watts
(All loads in this example are resistive or have
unity power factor).
For the this example the minimum size of the
supply required is: 1950W/230V = 8.5Amps
Therefore, the unit should be fed with a supply
of
at least 10Amps.
As the individual load channels are protected by
5Amp MCB’s a supply capable of delivering
more than 10Amps could be used, but it is
recommended that it should not exceed the
rating shown on the label fitted inside the door.
Example 2 - Fluorescent lamps with dimmable
HF ballasts connected to a 4 channel 10A
High Frequency Ballast Source Controller.
(SCH0410S)
Channel 1 load is 8 x 58 Watt tubes
Channel 2 load is 16 x18 Watt tubes
Channel 3 load is 10 x 26 Watt PL lamps
Channel 4 load is 5 x 36 Watt tubes
Total connected load = 1192Watts
(All loads in this example have unity power
factor).
For this example the minimum size of supply
required is: 1192W / 230V = 5.18 Amps
Therefore the unit should be fed with at least
6 Amps supply.
How?
Remove the unit cover to gain access to the fixing
holes.
Four screws hold on the cover of the Source
Controller; two are visible from the front and two
are visible only when the MCB cover door is opened.
There is no need to remove the MCB door.
Four fixings holes are provided allowing for fixings
up to 6mm diameter.

Supply and Load Connections
Size of supply
The size of the supply required to the Source
Controller is dependent on the power requirements
of the loads connected to it.

The diagram above shows the power supply
connections to a single phase Source Controller.
The Live supply is connected directly to one of the
channel MCBs or Mains Isolator if fitted. These are
factory fitted with a busbar linking them together.
Do not remove the busbar or any other cables
already connected to the MCBs or Isolator. The
maximum supply cable size is 16mm2.
The Neutral supply cable is connected to the neutral
busbar terminal (except in the case of a Source
Controller fitted with Neutral disconnect circuit
breakers, where connection is to the neutral busbar
fitted to circuit breakers).
An earth connection must be made to the chassis,
using the Earth stud. It is important that all supply
and neutral connections are tight. There is also
a diagram on the cover of the unit showing the
connections.
Supply & Load Cable Terminations
Connections to 3-Phase units are similar, except
that live connections must be made to three
sequential MCB’s. For example RED to MCB 1;
YELLOW to MCB 2; BLUE to MCB 3. The MCBs
are fitted on the supply side with a 3-phase
busbar which distributes the incoming supply
sequentially to all twelve breakers.
Load Cable Terminations
Load cables are connected to the column of
terminal blocks located on the left hand side of
a Source Controller. These terminals are labelled
L1,E, N1 L2,E, etc… and will accept up to 6mm2
cables.
It is important that each load circuit neutral is
connected to the appropriate neutral terminal
within the Source Controller. Failure to observe
this could result in electrical interference affecting
other equipment. Do not use a common neutral
for multiple loads.
The Load terminals of 3 phase units are phase
sequential as follows:
L1 Phase 1 (R)
L2 Phase 2 (Y)
L3 Phase 3 (B)
L4 Phase 1 (R)
L5 Phase 2 (Y)
L6 Phase 3 (B)
.

.
L11 Phase 2 (Y)
L12 Phase 3 (B)
Note Adaptive dimmers (Source Controllers with
prefix SCA.....) are shipped in Switch mode,
and will be set (according to type of connected
load) by the commissioning engineer. Please
retain all information concerning the type of load
transformers that are installed (for each dimmer
channel), so as to assist this process.
WARNING: Meggers must not be used on any
circuitry that is connected to iLight equipment. To
avoid damage, load cables must be disconnected
prior to any such testing.
HF Ballast Controllers - Connection of
low voltage cables
(Applies only to Source Controllers with prefix
SCH...) For each individual load circuit, there should
be a pair of cables linking all ballast LV connections
together (paying due attention to polarity), and
terminating at the relevant connections in the
Source Controller.
4 Channel inductive version shown
IMPORTANT:
Ensure that load cables are connected to the relevant
type of Source Controller in accordance with iLight
project drawing (normally supplied with quotation).
For example:
Source Controllers with part no. SCI..... are dimmers,
eg for tungsten or inductive loads.
Source Controllers with part no. SCI08..... are dual
units, incorporating four dimmers (O/P’s 1 to 4) and
four O/P’s (5 to 8) with corresponding 0-10v (or DSI)
connections for HF Ballasts.
Source Controllers with part no. SCH..... are HF
ballast controllers, eg for 0-10v fluorescent fittings.
Source Controllers with part no. SCS..... are switching
units, eg for non-dimmable luminaires.
Source Controllers with part no. SCA..... are adaptive
dimmers - eg where there is a mixture of inductive
and capacitive loads.
Source Controllers with part no. SCT..... are trailing
edge dimmers - eg where “trailing edge” dimming is
required on some circuits.
Supply Cable Terminations
INTELLIGENT CONTROLS

Networks and Connecting Control
Cables
Network control cables should enter the Source
Controller through the segregated route shown
in the diagram below (A).
Ensure the CAT5 data cable is linked into all
Source Controllers in this manner.
Segregation between Control Data cabling and
power wiring should be maintained for safety
and noise immunity. Control Data cabling should
be run in separate or divided metal trunking
or conduits. Where cables are run outside
trunking or conduit then there should be 300mm
separation between them, and where they cross
they should do so at right angles.
Terminals for network and RS485 connections
use two-part connectors allowing connections
to be made outside of the Source Controller.
Simply pull the connectors from the board
A Source controller is connected to other devices,
control panels, Source Controllers, audio-visual
systems and interfaces using the iCAN network
or a RS485 data connection. The RS485 data
connection is designed for use primarily with
external systems and does not offer the full
functionality and integrity that use of the iCAN
network can provide. All other iLight products
communicate with each other using the iCAN
network. At no point should the RS485 and iCAN
networks be joined together.
Ensure each low voltage pair is terminated at the
connection corresponding to the associated mains
pair - for example all ballasts which are fed with 230
volts from MCB 2 must have their low voltage cable
terminated at 0V and DIM2.
If there is any doubt concerning which cable carries
mains, this must be resolved (using a voltmeter) before
connecting to the Source Controller. Connecting a
mains potential cable to the Low Voltage terminals
will damage the unit and invalidate warranty.
HF Ballast types:
The Source Controller is able to control either Analogue
or DSI (digital) ballasts, with each channel individually
configurable. This selection is normally made as part
of commissioning, but it is also possible to “group
configure” all outputs to one or other of the two
standards. Source Controllers are ex-factory shipped
set for Analogue ballasts. The procedure to alter this
to DSI (for all channels) is:
Isolate the Source Controller.
Locate the 3-way DIPswitches on the processor pcb.
Move switch 1 to the ON position.
Return power to the Source Controller.
(to return to Analogue, reverse the above process)
Emergency Luminaires
Any luminaries that require a Permanent Live feed
must be wired with an additional (identified) live
cable, fed from the right-hand (protected) side of
the relevant MCB. Install your Permanent Live cable
together with the existing brown cable. Use only the
MCB which relates to the circuit in question.
Additional Lighting Connections
Diagram shows typical connection of
emergency lighting circuit and the entry
point of the network control cable (A).
Note
Control and network cables do not include the
0-10V or DSI control cables that are connected to
controllable ballasts. The control cables to ballasts
should be regarded as power cables and segregated
from the CAN and RS485 cables that connect to the
source controller.

INTELLIGENT CONTROLS

Two sets of terminals are provided for the connection
of iCANnet cables. Both iCAN terminals on the
control board are connected in parallel.
The recommended cable to use for iCANnet is: CAT5
FTP such as RS part numbers 196-331 for 305m or
298-0885 for 1000m.
The Control Board paralleled iCANnet terminals are
labelled with the recommended colours of the pairs
in CAT5 cable to use.
Orange pair +12V
Blue/White CAN-H
Blue CAN-L
Green pair 0V
Brown pair Shield
The structure of an iCAN network is shown in the
diagram below.
In the above example, resistors should be fitted at the
two ends of the network as marked with asterisks(*).
The devices on an iCAN network may be wired in
any order, but the network must be one continuous
“daisy-chain”. Spurs are NOT permitted, as this is
liable to result in communication problems.
Source Controllers and Control Panels are all shipped
with a 120 ohm Termination resistor fitted on the
iCANnet termination block. At all locations other
than the two end-of-line positions, the resistors
should be removed. Except where isolating Bridge
Nodes are installed, every iCAN network requires
two Termination resistors only.
iCANnet Connections
RS485 Control
The RS485 Control terminals are located adjacent
to the iCAN network terminals.
The terminals to be used are labelled:
RS485-
RS485+
0V
See the ASCII control message section on
page 13.
RJ12 Connector
The Source Controller is fitted with an RJ12
socket to allow local connection of a handheld
programmer or PC interface.
No connection should be made to the factory
pins of the connector.
Alarm Input
An alarm input, designed for connection to a fire
alarm system, is available on the same terminal
block as the RS485 connections. The terminals
to be used for an Alarm input are:
0V
AL
Any connection to this input MUST be volt free
and have a cable length of less than 50 metres.
Cabling for this input should be segregated from
power wiring.
The default action that occurs when these
terminals are linked is for every channel of the
source controller to turn on to maximum output.
It will then remain in this state, regardless of
any other command received, until the link
between the 0V and AL terminals is removed.
Only when the alarm link is removed can levels
be changed.
On an entire iCAN network only one fire alarm
input is required.

Commissioning
Please retain any Job-specific drawings or
schedules relating to load connections at the Source
Controllers. This information is required by the
commissioning engineer to assist in configuration
of the equipment.
When first energised after installation all Source
Controllers will default to all channels being at 100%
output.
Source Controllers can be energised without network
cables being terminated.
If iCANnet cables are terminated after Source
Controllers have been energised it should be noted
that cables will be carrying low voltage signals and
mis-connection of these could result in damage to
other devices on the network.
