Find a suitable location
Use these guidelines when installing devices:
• If there is a clear line of sight between a Luminaire
Controller and another Lightcloud device they can be
placed up to 700 feet apart.
• If a Luminaire Controller and another Lightcloud
device are separated by ordinary drywall construction,
try to keep them within 70 ft. of each other.
• Brick, concrete and steel construction may require
additional Lightcloud devices to go around the
obstruction.

Install the Luminaire Controller
For luminaires pre-installed with the Luminaire Controller, skip to Step 3.
Fixture installation with
actuator module inside
If the interior of your luminaire can accommodate the
dimensions of the actuator module, install the actuator
module inside the housing, and attach the radio module
to the outside of the housing via a knockout.

Install Luminaire
Install the fixture with integrated Luminaire Controller to a
constant power source.
Do not place Lightcloud-controlled fixtures down circuit from any
other switching devices such as switches, sensors, or time clocks.
Installation with junction box
If the interior of your luminaire cannot accommodate the
actuator module, the Luminaire Controller can be mount-
ed into a junction box, with the radio module always
outside any metal enclosure. If no sensor is used then the
second modular cable can be tied off and placed inside
the fixture or box.

Labeling your device
When installing devices, it’s important to keep track of their
Device IDs, installation locations, panel/circuit #s, dimming
function, and any additional notes. To organize this information,
use the Lightcloud Installer Application (A) or Device Table (B).
Install the LC Installer Application:
LC Installer is available for iOS and Android.
Scan & Install Lightcloud Devices:
Scan each device and assign to a room. It’s recommended
that each device is scanned just before or just after being
wired so no devices are missed. The more notes that are
given, the easier it is to commission the system.
Send to RAB:
Once all of the devices have been added and organized,
submit the information for commissioning.

Setup & Installation (cont’d)
Two Lightcloud Device Tables are provided with each
Gateway: one that you can attach to your panel and one
to hand off to a building manager. Attach the Device
Identification stickers included with each device to a row,
then write in additional information, such as Zone name,
Panel/Circuit Number, and whether or not a Zone uses
dimming.

Functionality
Configuration
All configuration of Lightcloud products may be performed
using the Lightcloud web Application, or by calling RAB.
Power measurement
The Lightcloud Luminaire Controller is capable of measuring the
power usage of the attached luminaire. In order to utilize this
function, the neutral wire of the load must be connected to the
white-red neutral wire. If the white-red neutral line cannot be
used, it should be tied to the regular neutral wires (i.e. all
neutral wires joined).
Power loss detection
If mains power to the Controller is lost, the device will
detect this and alert the Lightcloud Application.
Emergency default
If communication is lost, the Controller may optionally fall back
to a specific state, such as turning the attached luminaire on.
(Warning: Any wires not in use must be capped off or otherwise
insulated.)
