CAUTION
• DIM10-250-11 controllers must be installed in
accordance with national, state, and local
electrical codes and requirements
• All work must be performed by qualified
personnel
• Disconnect all power before installation or
service
• Metal conduit connector must be grounded

NEEDED MATERIALS
• 50 OHM Terminator plug RP-SMA: Part
Number 132360RP from Amphenol
• Wiring Connectors: All existing wiring
connectors must be replaced with new UL
listed wiring connectors that are correctly
sized for the application and the number and
the size of the electrical conductors.
ATTACHING THE TERMINATOR TO THE
BULKHEAD
Make sure the power is off. Attach the 50 OHM
Terminator to the RP-SMA bulkhead hand tight. Keep
the 50 OHM Terminator on the bulkhead at all times,
until the antenna replaces the 50 OHM Terminator.
When installing the device, the technician must be
grounded with a proper ground strap.
ATTACHING THE ANTENNA
When it is time to attach the antenna, touch a
grounded surface, remove the 50 OHM Terminator and
screw on the antenna tightly. Tighten a 1/4 turn with a
pair of needle nose pliers. Do not overtighten or the RF
pin in the bulkhead will crack, creating poor RF link
quality.
MOUNTING
It is critical to the performance of this device that the
antenna be oriented vertically. It must point straight up
or down for proper operation. When installing the
DIM10-250-11 in an enclosure, antenna position must
be considered in order to provide optimum wireless
signal strength. For best transmission, all antennas
should be oriented in the same direction.
NOTE: See the DIM10-250-11 mounting template for
assistance.
NOTE: Mount in an LED Fixture or Troffer.
Option A. For standard installation: place the light
controller in the desired location and secure it
using (4) #8 screws. Prior to permanently
mounting it, make sure the antenna points
directly upward or downward and is free of
any metal objects within 12 in. of the antenna
(Figure 1).
Option B. For installation in a light pole: hang the light
controller with an appropriate cable hook, by
using the cable hook hole at either end of the
device (Figure 2).
WARNING AND CAUTIONS:
•TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH; TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT
BREAKER OR FUSE AND TEST THAT POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING!
•Risk of Electric Shock - More than one disconnect switch may be required to
de-energize the equipment before servicing.
•To be installed and/or used in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and
regulations.
•If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult an electrician;
all work should be performed by qualified personnel
•Use this device with copper or copper clad wire only.

WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH:
TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR
FUSE AND VERIFY THAT POWER IS OFF
BEFORE WIRING!
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Note: When installing the DIM10-250-11 into an
enclosure, consideration of antenna position and
interference is required to provide the optimum
wireless signal strength. (Figure 1)
1. Connect the electrical service black wire (hot)
to the LINE input on the DIM10-250-11.
2. Connect the black wire of the LED fixture to
the LOAD output on the DIM10-250-11.
3. Connect the electrical service white wire
(neutral) to the NEUTRAL input on the
DIM10-250-11 and the NEUTRAL input on the
fixture.
4. Connect the white wire (neutral) from the
LED fixture to the electrical service white
wire/neutral.
Note: Steps 5-7 are for Class 1/2 Dimming
Control
5. Connect the DIM-wire on the LED fixture to
the DIM-input on the DIM10-250-11.
6. Connect the DIM+ wire on the LED fixture to
the DIM+ input on the DIM10-250-11.
7. Switch power on to the fixture. The light
should turn on.
Note: When switched on, lamps should turn on to
full brightness; approximately 10 VDC signal on
the DIM+ wire using the DIM- wire as reference.
8. Refer to the SimplySNAP User’s Manual for
information on provisioning the DIM10-250-
11.
Note: Steps 9-12 are for attaching sensors. See
Figure 3 for details
9. Connect the DIM10-250-11 Input A to the first
sensor output and Input B to the second
sensor output (if applicable).
10. Connect the DIM10-250-11 COMMON signal to
the Common (ground) connection on the
sensor(s).
11. Connect the DIM10-250-11 +24VDC output to
the power input on the sensor(s).
12. Connect the DIM10-250-11 COMMON input to
the Common (ground) signal on the sensor(s).
DIMMING
Below are some recommendations for successful
dimming using the DIM10-250-11. The dimming
control wires are referenced as Dim+ and Dim- . The
dimming signals have a Maximum voltage of 10V DC.
• Use multi-strand 18 Gauge Wire for noise
immunity and current capability
• Do not ground the dimming wire. This is a
return signal and is critical for dimming.
• When possible, route dimming wires away
from AC lines
• Use connections with properly sized
connectors.
• Eliminate excess wire between fixtures. Line
length will cause voltage drop.
• Number of fixtures that can be daisy-chained
depends on the following factors: dimming
current, current requirements for driver,
length of wire, quality of connection, and
gauge of wire
• Verify dimming capability via a “test bed” with
the number of actual fixtures, wire length,
connectors, and wire gauge
INSTALLING WIRES
Use a small screw driver inside the terminal block
release mechanism to insert and release wires in the
terminal block

USING THE AC CAGE CLAMP
Synapse’s AC terminal blocks use a secure locking
mechanism for the AC connections that is called a cage
clamp. To securely attach the AC wires to the DIM10-
250 follow the directions below.
1. Strip 1/3” of the conductor wire.
2. Insert a small bladed screw driver inside the
square hole release mechanism to open the cage
clamp. (Figure 4)
3. Insert the wire into the round hole to the cage
clamp.
NOTE: The conductor wire should fall into the
hole with no force when the clamp is properly
opened.
4. Hold the wire in place as you remove the small
screw driver from the square hole.
5. Tug on the conductor to verify it is snuggly
clamped. If it is not snug, go back to step 2 and
repeat.
Insert small bladed screwdriver into square slot before
inserting the wire in the corresponding circular hole.
Applying excessive force to the terminal blocks may
result in its failure.
Figure 4 - Insert a small bladed screwdriver
before inserting the conductor wire.
USING THE DC CAGE CLAMPS
For the DC Cage Clamps, use a small flat head
screwdriver to push the release button (Figure 5)
before inserting the wire.
Use small bladed screwdriver to press release button
before inserting wire in the corresponding circular hole.
Applying excessive force to the terminal blocks may
result in its failure.
