DMC2 10 Product Overview
1.3.2 DMD31X module output wiring
The control signal must be terminated into the top six terminals on the module. The power
circuit must be terminated into the bottom six terminals as indicated in the diagram below.
Ensure that each signal and power channel has been paired and segregated correctly.
For installation involving 120 VAC circuits only:
Wire all output circuits using conductors suitable for Class 1 / Light and Power circuits rated
150 V minimum. The signal control circuit conductors can be intermingled with the branch
circuit wiring in the wire trough. The signal control circuit conductors can be considered as
Class 2 conductors. Class 2 wiring methods can be used for the signal control circuit outside
the DMC control panel.
For installation involving 240 or 277 VAC circuits:
Wire all output circuits using conductors suitable for Class 1 / Light and Power circuits rated
300V min. The signal control circuit conductors can be intermingled with the branch circuit
wiring in the wire trough. The signal control circuit conductors are to be considered as
Class 1 conductors. Class 1 / Light and Power wiring methods must be used for the signal
control circuit outside the DMC control panel.

2Installation
The DMC2 enclosure and modules are shipped separately and assembled onsite. This
section describes the requirements and procedure for mounting and assembly.
2.1 Important Information
WARNING: Isolate from mains supply before terminating or adjusting any terminals. No
serviceable parts inside. Service by qualified personnel only.
We recommend that you read this entire document prior to commencement of installation.
Do not energize the DMC until all the installation steps detailed in this chapter are
complete.
Installation of the home and building automation and control system shall comply with
HD60364-4-41 where applicable.
Once assembled, powered and terminated correctly, this device will operate in basic mode.
A new Philips Dynalite user interface on the same network will turn all output lighting
channels on from button 1 and off from button 4 allowing testing of network cables and
terminations. Advanced functions and custom presets can then be configured via the System
Builder commissioning software.
If commissioning services are required, contact your local distributor for details.
This device should only be operated from the type of supply specified on installed modules.
This device must be earthed.
Do not Megger test any circuitry connected to the dimming system, as damage to the
electronics may result.
WARNING: The DMC must be de-energized before terminating the control and data
cables.
Installation Overview
1. Confirm that all installation requirements are met
2. Remove knockout plates for cabling
3. Mount enclosure
4. Install modules
5. Connect cabling

2.2 Installation requirements
The DMC2 is designed for indoor use only. If installed in an outdoor location, the DMC2
must be housed in a suitable well-ventilated enclosure. Choose a dry location that will be
accessible after the installation is complete.
To ensure sufficient cooling, you must mount the DMC2 vertically, as shown below.
The DMC2 requires an air gap of at least 200mm (8 inches) on all sides of the front cover for adequate
ventilation. This gap also ensures that the device is serviceable while still mounted.
During operation the DMC2 may emit some audible noise such as humming or relay chatter.
Take this into account when choosing the mounting location.

2.3 Cabling
Remove the required knockout plates for the supply cables before mounting the enclosure.
The DMC2 includes the following cabling knockouts. Cables should enter the enclosure
through the nearest knockout to the relevant module.
Supply/Control: Top: 4 x 28.2mm (1.1”) 2 x 22.2mm (0.87”)
Side: 7 x 28.2 (1.1”) 7 x 22.2mm (0.87”)
Back: 4 x 28.2mm (1.1”) 3 x 22.2mm (0.87”)
Data: Side: 1 x 28.2mm (1.1”)
Bottom:1 x 28.2mm (1.1”)
The 28.2mm (1.1”) knockouts are suitable for 3/4” conduit, while the 22.2mm (0.87”)
knockouts are suitable for 1/2” conduit.
The recommended cable for connections to the serial port is screened stranded RS485
compatible CAT-5E data cable with three twisted pairs. Refer to the Installation Instructions
for the communication module for more cabling information. This cable must be segregated
from mains and Class 1 cables as per local electrical code. If anticipated cable runs are over
600 meters for serial cables, consult your dealer for advice. Do not cut or terminate live
data cables.
The DSM2-XX module input terminals accept supply cables up to 16mm2. Supply cables
should have a capacity of 32A per phase for three-phase supply or up to 63A for single
phase to allow the device to be loaded to its maximum capacity. The Earth bar is located in
DMC unit near the top of case.
If mounting the unit to a cable tray or a Unistrut-style product, you can route cables
between the unit and the mounting surface to enter the enclosure via the knockouts on the
rear face.
Control/communication cables enter at the bottom of the enclosure. Never run control
cables through the mains voltage section of the enclosure.
WARNING: Do not remove any labels or stickers from cables, wiring, modules or other
components in the DMC. Doing so may violate local safety regulations.

2.4 Mounting the DMC2
The DMC2 can be surface or recess mounted.
Surface mounting uses four mounting points, indicated below:
Recess mounting is supported by four mounting holes suitable for M6 (1/4”) fasteners, two
on either side of the enclosure as shown below.
The minimum spacing between studs is 380mm (15”), and the minimum mounting depth is
103mm (4.1”).
Ensure no dust or other debris enters the device during installation. Do not leave the front
cover off for any length of time. Excessive dust may interfere with cooling.

2.5 Inserting and connecting modules
Control modules fit in either mounting bay, and you can install any two modules in the same
unit. Control modules are connected to the supply module with the supplied wiring loom,
and to the communication bus with the ribbon cable connectors on the left-hand side of the
enclosure.
Install modules:
1. Mount the enclosure using one of the methods described in 2.3 Mounting the
DMC2.
2. Mount the communication module below the high-voltage barrier. Refer to the
instructions in 2.4.1 DCM-DyNet.
3. Mount the power supply module in the top of the enclosure. Refer to the
instructions in 2.4.2 DSM2-XX.
4. Mount the control modules in the remaining module spaces. Any module can be
mounted in any location and a location can be left empty. Refer to the instructions
in 2.4.3 Control module installation, and the Quick Installation Guide provided with
each module.

5. Connect the supplied wiring loom to the modules. Use only the loom supplied with
the unit, and do not modify the loom in any way. Refer to 2.4.4 Wiring loom.
6. Check and retighten all terminals. Remove the required knockouts from the top
cover plate, then reattach the cover plate to the unit and make sure all screws are
tightened securely. Stick the labels provided with modules on the cover to indicate
what module is installed in each location.
7. Reattach the bottom cover plate and make sure all screws are tightened securely.
