important safeguards
Warning –This is a class A product. In a domestic
environment this product may cause radio interference, in
which case the user may be required to take adequate
measures.
Read Instructions –We recommend that you read this
Instruction Manual Prior to commencement of installation.
Troubleshooting - If problems are encountered, check
the Troubleshooting section on page 9.
Special Programming –Once powered and terminated
correctly this device will only operate in basic mode. A
new Dynalite panel will turn on all lighting channels from
button 1 and turn off from button 4 if network terminations
are correct. Only once the full network is test correct can
commissioning begin. Advanced functions can be
commissioned via Envision software. If commissioning is
required, contact your local distributor for details.
Check Connections –Treat this device as a
switchboard that has been shipped. Tighten all load-
carrying screw connections, as vibrations from transport
can cause MCB and terminal block screws to become
loose.
Power Sources –This device should only be operated
from the type of supply specified on the front panel. This
device must be earthed.
Output Circuits –The load on a circuit should not
exceed the specified capacity of 10A. Loads should be
calculated to ensure that the overall maximum capacity of
80A is not exceeded. Functional isolation only exists
between switched outputs, do not mix SELV and non-
SELV loads on the same device. If using mains voltage
on the device all switched outputs must be on the same
Phase. Normally Open contact is TV8 rated. Normally
Closed contact is TV3 rated. Use an additional derating
factor for the Normally Closed contacts when connecting
reactive loads. To ensure a true dry contact, Snubbers or
spark killers are not internally fitted, de rate the channel
for reactive loads.
Input Circuits –These inputs are designed for dry
contacts or analogue inputs only. Cables to these inputs
must be treated as SELV.
Mounting Location –This device must be mounted right
way up, on a vertical surface (refer to page 4 for
mounting instructions). The specified minimum clearance
of 100mm for all sides must be adhered to. Install in a
dry, well-ventilated location. Controllers may emit some
mechanical noise. Take this into account when deciding
the mounting location.
Data Cable –The recommended cable for connections to
the serial port is screened, stranded RS485 data cable
with three twisted pairs. Part numbers for various
manufacturers are listed on page 6. This cable should be
segregated from mains cables by a minimum distance of
300mm. If anticipated cable runs are over 600 metres for
serial cables, consult your dealer for advice. Do not cut or
terminate live data cables.
Warning
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR
ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE
THIS DEVICE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
DO NOT ENERGISE UNLESS THE
FRONT COVER IS IN PLACE.
THIS DEVICE MUST BE EARTHED.
INSTALLATION, PROGRAMMING AND
MAINTENANCE MUST BE CARRIED
OUT BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

Select a Suitable Location
This device is designed for indoor use only. If
installing in an external location, the
DRC810DT must be housed in a suitable
well-ventilated enclosure. Choose a dry
location, that will be accessible after the
installation is complete. The DRC810DT
should be mounted vertically, the right way
up. The DRC810DT requires an air gap of
100mm on each side and at the top and
bottom of the device. This air gap is required
to ensure serviceability of the DRC810DT
without complete removal from the mounting
surface. This device may emit some
mechanical noise. Take this into account
when deciding the mounting location.
Fixing the Device
The DRC810DT has four mounting brackets
that attach to the rear of the enclosure. The
brackets are designed to accommodate 4
fixing screws up to 8mm diameter. The
DRC810DT can be fixed to the wall without
opening the cabinet or removing covers.
Make sure no dust or other debris enters the
device during installation. Do not leave the
front cover off for any length of time.
Excessive dust and dirt can degrade the
cooling of internal components.
Allow for Cable Entry
Supply, load and load control cables enter the
enclosure at the top. If these cables are fed
from below the mounting position, they
should be routed around the enclosure to
enter at the top. An alternative method is to
stand the enclosure off from the mounting
surface by mounting it on a cable tray or a
Unistrut style product. The cables can then
be routed between the enclosure and the
mounting surface, and enter the enclosure via
the cutout provided on the mounting face.
The control cables enter at the bottom of the
enclosure. Control cables should never be
run in the mains voltage sections of the
enclosure.

Supply Cables
The supply input terminals are located toward
the top left of the enclosure and consists of
Neutral, Line, and an Earth link located on
the chassis, all of which will accept up to
4mm2cables. The supply cables should
have a capacity of at least 0.5A. The supply
normally feeds the control electronics only
and does not feed the relay outputs unless
additional wiring is connected.
Load Cables
Load cables can be terminated on the 24 way
Load terminal strip, C (common), NC
(normally closed) and NO (normally open) for
each Channel. These connectors will accept
up to 2.5mm2cables. It is important that an
individual Output Circuit is not overloaded.
Calculate the intended load, and ensure that
it is below the maximum capacity of an
individual channel, which is 10A resistive.
Derate for reactive loads. When connecting
ELV or SELV cables to the relay terminals
ensure that proper segregation is maintained
between them and mains cables.
Control Input Cables
There are 8 control inputs that terminate on a
10 way terminal strip. They are configurable
to Dry Contact and 0-10V Analogue. These
terminals are SELV (safety extra low voltage)
and any cables connected to them should be
segregated from mains cables.
Energising the Device
If it is necessary to energise load circuits
before any control cables are connected, it is
acceptable to replace the cover and energise
the device immediately, as the default factory
programming is to have all channels set to
100% output. If there is no output on any or
all channels, see the Troubleshooting section
(page 9). The device should be de-energised
before terminating the control and data
cables.

connecting serial control cables
6DRC810DT Installation Manual Rev I.docx
Determine Your Requirements
Serial Ports are used to interconnect other
dimmers, smart control panels, sensors and
AV controllers. Serial port devices can be
identified by 4 terminals, labelled: GND,
DATA + DATA -, +VE.
Serial Cable Connections
There is one RS485 port for DyNet signals, in
the form of a RJ12 socket, on the front panel,
which is used for the temporary connection of
a PC or a Portable Programmer. There are
data terminals on the control card, for
permanent connections. The recommended
cable for connections to the serial port is
screened, stranded RS485 data cable with
three twisted pairs. Recommended cable
types include:
Belden: 9503
Garland: MCP3S
Hartland: HCK603
M&M Cable: B2003CS
M&M Cable: B9503CS
Multicables: AWM E120236 2092 20
RS Components: 368-687
One pair is paralleled for GND, one pair paralleled for +VE,
and one pair used for DATA and DATA.
Recommended Cable Colour Coding
Green/White pair paralleled for GND
Orange/White pair paralleled for +VE
Blue/White pair Blue for DATA +
White for DATA -
Brown/White pair Spare or for Join
The colour-coding scheme used is not critical,
as long as the same scheme is used
throughout the installation.
Serial Cable Connecting Method
The recommended connecting method is to
‘daisy chain’ devices (ie. starting at the first
device, then looping in then out of devices,
with a single cable terminating at the last
device. There should not be any spurs or
stubs, and only the first and last device
should terminate 1 cable, all other devices
should terminate 2 cables). Devices may be
wired in any order. The Data Cable should
be segregated from any Mains Cables by
30mm. A data cable that is connected to an
energised dimmer is live. Do not cut or
terminate live data cables. If the data cable
has to cross over any mains cables, it should
do so at a 90° angle.
