Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the ILC LightLEEDer EVO Integrated Relay Panel. The LightLEEDer line is a
very flexible and quality product to meet all of your lighting control needs. These panels are
microprocessor-based programmable lighting controllers with networking capabilities. You can
program each of the controller’s inputs or data line devices to control any or all of the relay outputs.
Individual controllers may be linked together to form a local area network or linked across the
Internet to form a wide area network and function as a single interface. The LightLEEDer controllers
are UL and CC approved for commercial applications.
This operation manual is designed to assist you in understanding, installing, and programming
the product to fit your facilities’ requirements. This manual will give you step by step procedures to
assist you in a quick and proper installation. ILC is committed to help the installation go smoothly
with documentation and videos on our web site, quick installation guides, quick programming
guides, and technical telephone assistance through our toll free number.

2.1MountingtheEnclosure
2.1.1Location
Determinetheproperlocationformountingthelightingcontroller.Typically,thepanelsaremounted
nearthelightingloadstobecontrolled.
2.1.2EnvironmentalConsiderations
TheEVOIntegratedRelayPanelisinstalledinaNEMA1enclosuredesignedforindoorapplications.The
panelshouldbemountedinanareawithanambienttemperaturebetween0and50°C(32°‐122°F),
humidityfrom10to90%non‐condensing,non‐explosive/corrosiveatmosphere,andstationary.
2.1.3Mounting
Theenclosureisprovidedwith4holeslocatedateachcorneroftheenclosure.Securetheenclosureto
themountingsurfacewiththeappropriatehardwarefortheapplication.
2.2WiringtheEVO‐INT
2.2.1LineandLoadWires
Pulla16A120VACor277VACcircuittotheLine1(L1)terminalforpoweringthefirstfourrelays(LD1‐4)
andcontrollerboard.Anadditional120VACor277VACcircuitcanbeterminatedatLine2(L2)foran
additional16Acapacityonthesecondset(LD5‐8)ofrelays.Pullallwiresfromlightingloadstothe
enclosure.Connecteachloadanditsdimmingwirestotheappropriateterminalontherelayoutput
board.Captheunusedleadtopreventelectricalshock.SeeFigure2.1below.

2.3 NetworkCableInstallation
2.3.1CableInstallationGuidelines
ObserveallILCDataCableRequirementsandLightSyncCableRunDistanceRequirementsasthey
pertaintoyourprojectinlayingoutthecableruns.
Maintainthetwistsofthepairsallthewaytothepointoftermination,ornomorethan1”
untwisted.
Makegradualbendsofthecable,wherenecessary.Nosharperthana1”radius
Dressthecablesneatlywithcableties.Uselowtomoderatepressure.
Uselowtomoderateforcewhenpullingcable.
Usecablepullinglubricantforcablerunsthatmayotherwiserequiregreatforcetoinstall.
DonotpullANYdatacableorswitchwireswithoralonganyhighvoltagewires.
KeepalllowvoltagetotallyseparatefromALLhighvoltage.FailuretodosowillvoidtheILC
warranty.


11
Keepcables2’‐3’awayfromanypotentialsourcesofEMIaspossible.(Linevoltageruns,
transformers,lightfixtures,etc.)
Installpropercablesupports,spacednomorethan5feetapart.
Alwayslabeleveryterminationpoint.Useauniquenumberforeachcablesegment.Thiswillmake
moves,adds,changesandtroubleshootingassimpleaspossible.Documenttheseontotheriser
provided.
AlwaystesteveryinstalledsegmentwithaCAT‐5cabletester.
Alwaysleaveextraslackinthecablerun,neatlycoiledupintheceilingornearestconcealedplace.
Alwaysusegrommetstoprotectthecablewhenpassingthroughmetalstudsoranythingthatcan
possiblycausedamage.
Alwaysfollowalllocalandnationalbuildingandfirecodes.Besureto“firestop”allcablesthat
penetrateafirewall.Useplenumratedcablewhereitismandated.
AlwayscontactILConinstallationsbetweenbuildingsorcablepulledunderground.Special
considerationsmaybeneeded.
2.3.2DataLineCable
ThedatalinecablesrequiredforcommunicationsbetweenpanelsanddevicesusesstandardCategory5.
RJ45connectorsmustberatedforthetypeofcablebeingterminatedto.Besurethatcablerunina
plenumisratedforthatuse.Anycablerunundergroundmusthaveundergroundratedcable,havea
12AWGsolidCuwirepulledalongwithitgroundedatoneend,andhavesurgesuppressorsinstalled.
ContactILCforjobspecificquestions.
2.3.3CableInstallation
DatalinecablesneedtointerconnectallthelightingcontrolpanelsandallLightSyncdatalinedevices.
EachcontrollerhasalocalportthatconnectsLightSyncdevicesonly.Thecontrolleralsoincludes“in”
and“out”portsforconnectingpanelstogether,whichcanalsoconnectLightSyncdevices,butitis
suggestedthattheyareconnectedtothelocalport.Note:AnetworkcontrollerisrequiredifusingData
IN/OUTports.DatacabletoeitherpanelsorLightSyncdevicesareruninadaisychainpatterntoforma
network.“T”connectionsarepermittedwiththeuseofaPowerSupplyRepeater(PSR)andhome‐run
LightSyncdevicesmaybedonewithaLightSyncHub.
2.3.4CableDistances
Dataandpoweriscarriedacrossthenetworkcable.Therearelimitationshowfardatacanberun,how
manydevicesareontheline,andhowmuchpowerisontheline.SeeFigure2.3fordetails.Withthe
additionofaPowerSupplyRepeaterorPowerSupplyRepeater6dataandpowercanberenewed.
Besuretorecordallcabledistancesontheriserprovided.


12

Figure2.3–NetworkCableRunDistanceDetail
2.3.5CableTerminationandTesting
DatacableswillberequiredtobeterminatedwiththeproperRJ45crimp‐onconnectorsforthecable
beingused.Followthepin‐outshowninFigure2.4.Besurethecolor‐codedwiresareterminated
exactlyasshown.Alwaysvisuallyinspectforacompletelyseatedcrimp,asdamagecouldoccurtothe
matingconnectorontheprocessorordevice.




Figure2.4–RJ45CableTerminationDetail

Testeverycablepriortoinstallationforshorts,opens,andinductedvoltage.Besurenottoconnectyour
testertoacableconnectedtoanyhardwareasdamagemayoccur.
2.3.6ConnectCable
Aftercablesaretested,theycanbepluggedintothepanelsanddevices.Cablesstartatthe“Out”port,
gotothenextpanelordeviceandentersthe“In”port.Thisiscontinueduntilalldevicesareconnected.
2.4 Pre‐Power‐UpChecklist
☐Verifyallribboncablesbetweencontroller/outputboardsarewellseated.
☐Verifyallhighvoltagewiresareterminatedandthehighvoltagebarriersisinstalled.
☐Verifyalldatacables,sensorwires,dimmingwires,inputwiresareterminatedproperly.
2.5Power‐UpandCheckOut
2.5.1Power‐Up
ThecontrollerwillturnononcetheLine1andNeutralwiresareterminatedandthecircuitisenergized.
ThepowerLEDlocatedinthelowerleftshouldlightup.
2.5.2VerifyRelayOperation
Withthecontrollerpowereduppressthe“ALLON”pushbuttonswitchlocatedonthelowerleftsideof
thecontroller;alltherelaysshouldturnON.Pressthe“ALLOFF”buttonandverifythatallrelaysturned
OFF.Therelayshaveanon‐boardLEDthatindicatestheirstate.
2.5.3ClearingMemory
Itisverycriticaltoclearthememoryinthecontrollerpriortoprogrammingtoeliminateanypossible
unwantedmapping.IntheILCLightLEEDerSoftware,connecttothepanelwithadiagnostictoolonthe
networkport.Onceconnectednavigatetothevirtualkeypadonthe“Connect”screen.Fromthe
keypad/displaypush“Edit”,thenscrolldownto“SpecialFunctions”,thenscrolldownto“FirmwareRe‐
