GENERAL INFORMATION
1) A qualified electrician, in accordance with IEE wiring regulations should carry out connection
to mains wiring.
2) Ensure that the rated voltage and frequency requirements are compatible with the available
mains supply.
3) Do not carry out high voltage insulation test, i.e. 500/1000v this may damage internal
components.

VERVE
MAY 2021 – Rev 7

Mounting:
ONLY mount in a horizontal orientation
Label MUST face towards the floor
DO NOT vertically mount the hub
Mechanical Installation:
The Verve is designed for surface and drop-rod installation. All mountings are located on the
outside of the enclosure to reduce installation time.
Four M4 mounts are provided at the base of the enclosure for surface mounting.
Drilling out the inner rings of the supports will allow for M8 drop rod mounting to be
used. The unit should be mounted in an orientation, as to provide suitable fixing and
cable access. The LCM must be mounted flat and true to avoid distortion or damage
to the enclosure and/or any internal components.
When securing the LCM in place in a ceiling, ensure that the label of the unit is facing
downward so the status LED is visible. Doing otherwise may affect the communication ability
of the LCM.
The total weight load bearing capabilities of the unit when installed correctly, including plugs
and cabling, is 20kg. Exceeding this may cause damage to the unit. All cables should be
dressed and tied to avoid any unnecessary strain on the sockets.
N.B. Due to the nature of wireless Bluetooth communications, issues may arise with device
pairing if the units are above metal-bonded ceiling tiles.
Input power connection:
Power is applied to the LCM via a 3-pole Wieland GST18i3 female
connector (supplied in box). Input power to the unit must be 230V AC
50Hz ±10%. The input power cable must be a 3-core cable providing
live, neutral and earth to each LCM and should be adequately insulated
and rated for the supply current and voltage.
The total current rating of the device is 6.3A. The total supply current
should not be exceeded, and the unit should be externally fused by
means of a suitably rated Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB).
Non EM Luminaire ports:
Connection to the luminaires is achieved using a 5 pole Wieland
GST18i5 blue male plug.
At minimum live, neutral and earth pins should be connected between the
LCM and the luminaires.
Dimming is provided via pins 4 (DA+) and 5 (DA-). These cables must in-
turn be connected to the correct terminals on the luminaires.

Emergency-enabled Luminaire ports:
The two emergency ports (G1/E&G3/E) require 6 pole Wieland
GST18i6 male plugs to connect to the load.
At minimum live, neutral, earth and the fourth pin (Em) should be
connected between the LCM and the load.
Dimming is provided via pins 5 (DA+) and 6 (DA-). These cables must
in-turn be connected to the correct terminals on the ballast.
WLL Part no TB/9296903581 6 pole plug
Sensor inputs:
The three sensor ports use RJ11 terminations to connect to the
VERVERECPIR or VERVESURPIR sensor and the sensor input
lead is wired like for like on each end.
Switch inputs:
Latching or retractive switches connect to the switch inputs via a 3 pole
5mm pitch plug.
Two-way retractive switches should be wired between Common (terminal
2) and Off/Down (terminal 1) and On/Up (terminal 3).
The switch input may also be configured for use as an emergency test
key switch input.
The switch inputs are volt-free and should not be connected to any
external voltage.
Restrictions and barriers:
Objects made of metal, such as metallic separation walls and metal inserted ceilings, wall
reinforcements and the metal foil of heat insulations, reflect electromagnetic waves and
thus create what is known as radio shadow and are barriers to signal path. Fire-safety walls
(and curtain barriers), elevator shafts, staircase, air ducting (and HVAC units) and RSJ’s
can be considered as barriers, as well as metal pan ceiling tiles
Material range reduction
• Wood, plaster, glass uncoated, without metal 0 - 10%
• Brick, press board 5 - 35%
• Ferro concrete 10 - 90%
• Metal, aluminium lining 70 - 90%
Avoid barriers when installing BLE wireless networks by repositioning the
Bluetooth transmitting and/or receiving unit away from the radio shadow, or by
using a repeater unit either via sensor or repeater node – repeater unit
(VERVERECPIR / VERVESURPIR / W-GS480BLE repeater sensor).
It is recommended to keep a clearance distance around the LCM of >50cm to
ensure the Bluetooth communications are not restricted.
