5102BCLEDL C-Bus 2 Channel Bus Coupler with scenes and remote LEDs

5104BCL C-Bus 4 Channel Bus Coupler with scenes

• Do not connect building power to the C-Bus Bus Coupler.

• The input channels of the C-Bus Bus Coupler are NOT isolated from the C-Bus network. Ensure that all cables connected to C-Bus are well separated from mains wiring, earthed metal structures and electrical noise sources.

• A maximum of 1 metre of wire may be used to connect an individual switch or LED to a C-Bus Bus Coupler’s input or indicator terminal.

• A maximum of 10 metres of wire in total may be used to connect switches to all C-Bus Bus Couplers present on an individual C-Bus network. Examples of this are 10 channels at 1000 mm each or 24 channels at 415 mm each. Exceeding this length may adversely affect

C-Bus network communications. If longer connections are required, it is recommended that an L5504AUX C-Bus Auxiliary Input Unit be used.

• Use only non-flashing LEDs with a current rating of at least 10 mA to connect to the 5102BCLEDL’s indicator terminals.

• Dimming operations are best achieved using momentary, normally open switches.

• The use of any software not provided by Clipsal Integrated Systems

(CIS) in conjunction with the installation of this product may void any warranties applicable to the hardware.

3.0 Description

The 5102BCLEDL and 5104BCL C-Bus Bus Couplers are input devices that enable mechanical voltage free switches to connect to a C-Bus network.

Such mechanical switches can then be used in place of regular

C-Bus wall switches to control C-Bus devices such as dimmers and relays, or for use in logical input applications.

5

C-Bus Bus Coupler with Scenes Installation Instructions

Virtually any type of voltage free switch can be connected to the

5102BCLEDL or 5104BCL (momentary or latching). This includes standard wall switches such as the 2000 Series, Heritage, and Slimline range, and specialised switches such as reed and pressure switches.

The 5102BCLEDL provides two input channels and allows the connection of external LED indicators using wired leads. The 5104BCL provides four input channels with built-in LED indicators. Both units feature scene management and learn mode capability.

C-Bus Bus Couplers are designed to fit within a wall box, behind a wall switch. Virtually any type of insulated wire with a diameter between

0.2 mm

2

and 2.0 mm

2

may be used to connect the voltage free switches and LEDs (up to 1 metre of wire per switch/channel/indicator).

The diagram in Figure 1 shows two wiring methods for the 5102BCLEDL.

To minimise the amount of wiring required, a single common wire may be used for the channel inputs (as in the unit on the right).

If an indicator is not required the relevant A and K terminals are not connected (nor are they linked together).

The diagram in Figure 2 shows two wiring methods for the 5104BCL. As with the 5102BCLEDL, a single common wire may be used for the channel inputs (as in the unit on the right).

5.0 C-Bus Network Connection

Connection to the C-Bus network is made using the two-terminal connector on the top of the Bus Coupler. Use Cat-5 Unshielded Twisted

Pair (UTP) C-Bus cable. The use of bootlace ferrules (crimps) is recommended for a reliable connection.

C-Bus cable conductor assignments are provided in Figure 3 . The Clipsal catalogue number for the C-Bus Cat-5 UTP cable is 5005C305B.

C-Bus Negative: blue & white + orange & white

6.0 C-Bus Power Requirements

C-Bus Bus Couplers draw 18 mA from the C-Bus network. Adequate C-Bus

Power Supply Units must be installed to support the connected devices.

The Network window of a C-Bus Toolkit project provides a summary of a

C-Bus network according to the units added to the Database. This can be helpful in determining the power supply requirements of a particular network.

Important points when megger testing an electrical installation:

• Only megger test when mains cabling is disconnected from C-Bus output units.

• Do not megger test the C-Bus cable.

The C-Bus Bus Coupler must be programmed before it will function as part of a C-Bus network. This can be accomplished using Learn Mode. However, using the C-Bus Toolkit software provides a greater level of flexibility and customisation.

The C-Bus Toolkit software can be downloaded from the Clipsal Integrated

Systems web site (www.clipsal.com.au). Further information about programming C-Bus units is provided at this site.
