4. Front and Rear Panel Descriptions
It is important to read and understand the information in this section before beginning the installation process. Understanding the various states of the Status
LED as well as the requirements of each port are an important part of the installation process.
Reset
Press and hold for five seconds while powered; then release. The Status LED will begin blinking rapidly when reset is complete.
After the reset, the controller will be in Provisioning Mode. See Rapid Blink below.
Off
No power applied. Power supply may not be plugged in.
Solid Green
The controller is provisioned to the local network and communicating with the Savant Pro
System Host. This is normal operation mode.
Blinks Once
Is in Provisioning Mode and ready to be added to the local network.
Blinks Twice
Establishing a connection with the local Savant Pro System Host.
Blinks Three Times
Provisioned to the local network and trying to connect to the Savant Pro System Host.
Short Off Blink
Firmware is updating.
Rapid Blink
The reset button on the front panel was held down for at least five seconds and the
controller is performing a factory reset. After the reset, all network settings are cleared
and the factory defaults are restored.
GPIO (Input)
When configured as an input, the processor looks for either a low (<0.8V DC) or high (>2.4V DC).
Minimum 0V DC / Maximum 12V DC.
GPIO (Output)
When configured as an output, the port provides a binary output of 0-12V DC 150ma max.
Relay
Dry contacts to control devices requiring basic on/off operation (normally open/normally closed). Max: 30V DC 1A.
Input Power
5V DC 1.2A – Use the included power supply.
Cable Lance
Use with included cable tie to secure power supply connection.

5. Mounting
Mount the controller in a place that is dry, well ventilated, and out of direct sunlight.
5.1. Mounting Plate Installation
The mounting plate included in the shipping box can mount the controller to a wall or existing structure. Follow instructions below to mount the
controller.
1. Place the mounting plate onto a wall so the tabs that hold the controller are oriented horizontally.
2. Mark on the wall the two mounting holes. Install wall anchors and screw the mounting plate to the wall.
3. Snap the controller into the bracket so the tabs on the bracket seat into the slots on the side of the controller.
5.2. Rack or Cabinet Installation
When mounting in a rack or cabinet, the controller should be set on a solid, flat, level surface.

6. Connections and Wiring
The GPIO and relay connections are made using a 6-pin screw down plug-in connector supplied with the controller and power is supplied using the included
power supply. Use the information below when making control and power connections.
6.1. GPIO and Relay
General Purpose Inputs/Outputs (GPIO) are binary I/O ports used on Savant controllers to trigger an action within the system. Events can be to control a
device such as turning on an amplifier (output) or detecting a state change for a device (input) to perform a workflow. The left 3 pins of the supplied
connector are used for the GPIO connections.
Relays are used when a contact closure (normally open/normally closed) is needed to activate a device such as raising or lowering shades, opening or
closing a gate, or sending control signals to an HVAC system are a few examples. The right 3 pins of the supplied connector are used for the relay
connections.
To connect wires into terminal block connector:
1. Remove power if power is applied.
2. Pull to remove the connector from the rear of the controller.
3. With a small flat bladed screwdriver, turn the screws on the top of connector
counterclockwise until the silver crimps in the front open enough to slide the wire into the
square slot.
4. Strip the ends of each wire to ¼inch. Using the diagram to the left, insert the stripped
wires into the proper slots.
5. Turn the screws clockwise until the screw tightens around each wire. Tug on each wire a
bit to ensure they are installed securely. There should be no bare wires protruding from
the rear of the connector.
6. Plug connector back into the rear of the controller.
6.2. GPIO Pull Down Resistor (PD) Usage
GPIO pins are configured as inputs and are pulled high to 12V while the Host is booting up. To make the GPIO signal low during a Host reboot or a power
cycle, attach the GPIO 1 pin to the PD pin. The PD pin is a 1K ohm pull down resistor (to signal earth ground) which keeps the GPIO output below 0.8V
during the processor boot times.

6.3. Power and Network Connections
Connect the provided power supply between the 5V DC connection on the rear of the controller and a surge protected 120 – 240V AC 50/60Hz outlet
receptacle. The SSC-W002G-01 communicates with the network over the local Wi-Fi network so a wired connection between the controller and the
network is not required.
HELPFUL! No Ethernet connection is needed. The
controller communicates with the Savant Pro
System Host over the local Wi-Fi network.

7. Provisioning Controller to the Local Network
The controller communicates with the Savant Pro System Host over the local Wi-Fi network. Read through sections 7.1 – 7.3 to understand the process and
guidelines. Follow sections 7.4 and 7.5 to perform the provisioning process.
7.1. Network Diagram (Provisioning Process)
The diagram below demonstrates the provisioning process. Review the diagram for an understanding on how the process works.
1. During the provisioning process, the SmartConnect application communicates
with the controller using Bluetooth signaling.
2. Once the controller is provisioned, it can communicate using the local Wi-Fi
network.
HELPFUL!
- Savant recommends using DHCP reservation. Refer to the owner’s manual for the local router for information on setting DHCP reservations.
- 802.11r (fast roaming) is not supported. If using a router that supports fast roaming, it should be disabled.
7.2. Checklist for Provisioning
The following items are required to provision the controller using the SmartConnect application.
SSC-W002G SmartControl 2 wireless controller .........................................................................................................................................................

7.4. Install SmartConnect
To connect the controller to the network, the Savant SmartConnect application must be installed and running on an iOS device such as an iPhone® or
iPad®. The SmartConnect Application can be downloaded from the Apple App Store to your iPhone or iPad.
- From the Apple App Store search for Savant Systems LLC.
- Locate the SmartConnect App and download/install onto your iOS device.
For more information, refer to the SmartConnect Reference Guide (009-1046-xx) located on the Savant Customer Community.
HELPFUL INFORMATION!
- SmartConnect v1.6 or higher is required to provision the SSC-W002G-01.
- The iOS device that the SmartConnect application is running on does not need to be connected to the same network the controller is being
added to.
- The SmartConnect is only supported on the iOS platform. Refer to Appendix B: Provision Controller Using Embedded WebUI for instructions
on how to connect the controller to the local network if the SmartConnect application is not available.
- During the provisioning process, the SSC-W002G must be within 30 feet of the device running the SmartConnect app.
- The iOS device must be running Bluetooth v4.0 or higher.
7.5. Provision Instructions
1. If not already powered, plug the provided power supply and cable between the
controller and a surge protected 100 – 240V AC receptacle. Refer to the Power and
Network Connections section above.
2. By default, a new SSC-W002G-01 controller is set at the factory, to be in provisioning
mode. If the Status LED is flashing the Blinks Once sequence, skip this step. If, however,
the LED is blinking a different sequence, follow the bulleted items below to set the
controller to provisioning mode.
- Press and hold the reset button for five seconds until the Status LED blinks green
rapidly, then release.
- After the reboot (1 – 2 seconds), the Status LED will begin the Blinks Once
sequence. This sequence indicates it is in provisioning mode and ready to be added
to the local network.
3. On the iOS device (iPhone, iPad, etc.), tap the SmartConnect (Connect) icon .
4. Locate the SSC-W002g in the Devices on Bluetooth section. Record the Savant ID
(UID) displayed. This UID will be used later in this procedure.
5. Tap the SSC-W002G entry from the Devices on Bluetooth section of the App.
