The Redwood Universal Gateway turns on and o any light ﬁxture type (e.g.

ﬂuorescent, CFL, HID, LED, etc.). Installed on or next to each ﬁxture, the Gateway

provides output signals to control one or two external dry contact relays. It

receives low-voltage power from, and communicates with, the Redwood Engine

via low-voltage cable. The Gateway does not require a Redwood Ready ﬁxture

and will work with any ﬁxture. It connects to a Redwood Sensor that transmits

data back to the Redwood Engine.

Preparation

•Determine location for all ﬁxtures, Redwood Dimmers,

and Redwood Engines

•Lay low-voltage cable from Redwood Engine location

to each ﬁxture location

•Options for connector preparation

º If using 18AWG wiring to connect to the Redwood

Engine, strip wire ends to ¼" (6mm)

º If using the RJ45 connector, it can be wired as T568A

or T568B which are straight through or crossover

arrangements

•Install 3rd party light ﬁxtures according to vendor’s

installation instructions

Redwood Universal Gateway Installation Instructions

• Conﬁrm the correct type of Gateway is being installed

with a Dry Contact Relay. See diagrams below and

conﬁrm correct Gateway is being used for ﬁxture

installation.

• Recommend using an RIB Dry Contact Relay or

equivalent, for example, an RIB 21CDC.

• Please be certain that the ﬁxture you are controlling

can accommodate the type of control you are using;

magnetic metal halide ﬁxtures for instance have

extended hot restart time which could be problematic

in critical areas where the light might not reignite for

an extended period. Instant start ballasts may not be

suitable for frequent switching.

• DoNOTplacetheGatewayinalocationwhereitwill

get hotter than 50°C.

• Check that you used the Redwood supplied RJ25 cable

that came with the Sensor for connecting the Sensor to

the Gateway.

• When the product is installed in air-handling spaces,

such as above some suspended ceilings, the cabling

employedshouldbesuitableunderNEC(2008)Article

800.154 and marked accordingly for use in plenums and

air-handling spaces with regard to smoke propagation,

such as CMP. The products and wiring means should

be installed in accordance with all applicable local

regulations and practices.

• The Redwood Gateways have been tested by UL

to UL2043 which ensures low smoke-emitting

characteristics and suitable ﬁre resistance for equipment

that may be installed in environmental air handling

spaces,asdescribedinArticle300.22(c)oftheNEC

(2008).

Step 2: Connect the Dry Contact Relay to the Universal Gateway using the provided Redwood Universal Gateway

Wiring Harness.

Step 3: Connect the Universal Gateway to the Sensor with the RJ25 connector.

Step 4: The Gateway should be securely mounted to part of the building structure that does not exceed the mechanical

specicationsfortheGateway.NotethattheGatewaymustbewithin6feetoftheSensorandlightxture.
