STEWART ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURER OF GENESIS 1:3 LIGHTING (ALC) Previously owned by OnQ Legrand PHONE: 864-663-0011 WWW.SETNETPRO.COM RETURNS FOR RESTOCKING Members of our "REPEAT CUSTOMER" program have a lot of flexibility when returning items. The requirements are simple; Stock our parts on your shelves, purchase often and purchase for more than just personal use and you qualify! Of course, we expect our discount level customers to place excess stock on their shelves instead of sending them back to our shelves. And special orders for items that we don't normally stock will not qualify for restocking. Please verify compatibility and customer commitment prior to ordering. Feel free to call with any questions you may have before placing your orders but compatibility and omissions are your responsibility and are not grounds for restocking. DISCOUNT LEVEL CUSTOMER DEFINITION The price you pay is less than our advertised web price when not logged in to our website. QUALIFYING RETURNS All qualifying returns must be made within 30 days from date of purchase. During this 30 day period, all new and unused products that are currently manufactured, in their original packaging with all hardware and manuals, and in re-sellable condition, can be returned without a restocking fee; installed items cannot be returned. You must pay shipping to us. Product not meeting these criteria, in most cases, cannot be returned or is subject a restocking fee. Due to copyright laws, software, books, and manuals are not returnable. Wire and other consumables and tools are not returnable. Shipping charges are not refundable and returns must be sent to us freight prepaid. We are not responsible for returns lost or damaged during shipping. Our RMA request form must be completed before an RMA number is issued. To obtain an RMA request form, contact us at 1-864-663-0011. RMA numbers ensure proper credit is issued or replacement product is handled correctly. You must write the RMA number on the outside of the package you are returning, not on the manufacturer’s package. Writing on manufacturers boxes is not allowed. RMA numbers are valid for 30 days from date of issue. Returns without an RMA number on the box will be refused. Note: There are no returns on special order merchandise. WARRANTY CLAIMS The products we sell are carefully chosen for dependability. Bad out of the box parts do occur, but it is very, very rare. Some of our manufacturers insist on handling returns themselves and require a phone call to their tech support before issuing an RMA. However retail and DIY customers may not be offered factory support like wholesale customers. So a call to us at 1-864-663-0011 should normally be your first move. Many times and most of the time you will find that your part is working correctly and installation or other errors are causing you to think your new part is bad. Only the manufacturer can offer an advanced replacement and even then they want a credit card to guarantee that the bad part is actually bad and that it gets returned to them. Should your part fail after it has been installed and before the warranty expires, the same procedure will apply. FAILURE RATE After purchasing this product line from OnQ Legrand in 2009, we moved the manufacturing from China to the USA. During manufacturing all products are tested TWO TIMES. We often test them again before shipping. Accordingly, our failure rate is less than .01%. ALC RETURNS, REPAIRS & TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES Draft 1.01. 8/14/2013 Since the bulk of all things we can tell you on the telephone are included in this document, please read and use this procedure before calling for technical support. It is also a good idea to download this document into your phone or tablet and carry it with you to the job site as we will be referring you to the topics throughout this procedure during our telephone conversation. This document contains: Returns process (On-site troubleshooting using this document is required before an RMA is issued). ALC Troubleshooting procedures. ALC Manuals (all are included) ALC Developers software kit. ALC LIGHTING REPAIRS As the manufacturer of automated ALC lighting products we offer a repair and evaluation service. Give us a call at 1-864-663-0011 for an RMA number. ALC BENCH FEES (Prices subject to change without notice) Many times (most of the time) when numerous switches are returned to us for evaluation, we find that there are fully working switches included in the box. This is often caused by the fact that one failed ALC switch on a branch can make others fail to communicate . Repairs for ALC switches average $45 Occasionally a circuit board is damaged in more than one circuit area. There is no way to determine this without attempting a circuit level repair. Once we attempt a circuit level repair there is a minimum fee of $15 plus salvage for products that can't be repaired. There is a $5 fee per device for testing (included in any repair or salvage fee). Shipping costs are charged at actual cost of shipping. ALC TROUBLESHOOTING Failures to ALC products rarely occur to more than one device per installation. However, surges, lightning other load related issues can damage more than one device. Many times ALC switches are sent to us for repair that are fully functional. It is possible that one switch on a branch can “jam” communications on other switches making them appear to be broken. Most installations with repeat failures are caused by AC power surges (and sags), lightning or problems with the high voltage loads connected to one or more switches. This can be very difficult to find. However without finding the source of the problem simply replacing switches often result in future repeat failures. EXCELLENT ADVICE The most offensive enemy to ALC switches is the condition of the AC power. A good troubleshooting rule to use is to look for an ALC switch(s) that have a High Voltage failure (the light does not come on, or will not go off when the switch is manually pressed). If one or more of these situations exists. THE SOURCE OF ALL COMMUNCATION FAILURES WAS CAUSED BY AN AC SHORT CIRCUIT THAT CAME INTO THE CIRCUITS FROM THE HIGH VOLTAGE SIDE!!!!!!!! BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING Should an ALC light switch appear not to work try this procedure: It’s all about VOLTAGE and a clean communication loop (we call this the POLLING LOOP). THERE ARE TWO MAJOR SUBSYSTEMS IN AN ALC SWITCH HIGH VOLTAGE: Manually pressing the ALC switch on/off or dimming it DOES NOT test the low voltage communications. If a switch works manually that only tells you that the high voltage is working, not the low voltage. Most failures of the high voltage circuit are related to the load (bad light bulb, bad light fixture etc). An ALC switch can work manually but not communicate. Don’t be fooled into thinking just because the High Voltage works, the low voltage communications (Polling Loop) also works. LOW VOLTAGE: To test the communications you should first attempt to operate the switch from: A wall mounted SCENE SWITCH or the Controller. Compatible controllers are: OnQ HMS models HAI Omni Models Aegis Elk M1 and EZ8 controllers OnQ Stand Alone controllers part # 364644-01 JDS Stargate controller ONQ HMS AND HAI OMNI CONTROLLERS (also see the 364644-01 stand alone controller section) From the LCD display (normally used for arming and disarming the alarm system), press a 4 then a 0. This is the ALL OFF command. Then press a 4 then a 1. This is the ALL ON command. Walk through the building and make a list of all ALC lights that did not respond. Go back to the LCD display and press a 1. This brings up a list of UNITS (lights) and their names. Scroll through the list to find the first failed light switch. Press the #. Then press a 1 (ON) or a 0 (OFF). This tests each light individually. Next, go to the controller and look at the main control board lights (LED). Is the STATUS light on the lower left of the board blinking? This means the controller has a heart beat! Next look at the piggy back ALC lighting board. Is the STATUS light blinking at the same frequency as the main control board (may not be in sync, but should be blinking at the same frequency)? This means that the ALC interface board is at least talking to the main control board. Then remove the wires from the ALC lighting branch in question. ALC UNIT SETTINGS ON ONQ HMS AND HAI OMNI CONTROLLERS UNITS 1 TO 31 = ALC INTERFACE BRANCH 1 (Some installations may only have a single branch interface) o Dip switch settings are 1(1) to 31(31) UNITS 33 TO 63 = ALC INTERFACE BRANCH 2 o Dip switch settings are 1(33) to 31(63) UNITS 65 TO 95 = ALC INTERFACE BRANCH 3 o Dip switch settings are 1(65) to 31(95) UNITS 97 TO 127 = ALC INTERFACE BRANCH 4 o Dip switch settings are 1(97) to 31(127) IMPORTANT FIRST STEP: TEST THE VOLTAGE Read the voltage at the ALC interface board branch terminal strip (with branch wires removed). It should be 4.25VDC. If the status lights are both blinking and if the correct voltage is present at the ALC interface branch terminals, then the Controller and the ALC interface board is MOST LIKELY GOOD! Next reattach the wires to the branch in question. If the voltage drops below 3VDC, there is a shorted switch(s) or shorted cable in the wiring to the polling loop. TEST AT THE ALC SWITCH ITSELF The nature of the ALC Polling loop is that ALL switches are connected in a parallel connection method. Which means that one failed switch can shut down communications with other switches on the same branch. This often results in the belief that ALL switches are bad when in fact only one (or only a few) are bad. WIRING METHODS When the ALC system was installed the wiring was ran using one of two methods. 1. DAISY CHAIN. All switches on a branch are attached to one long continuous cable run that snakes its way from ALC switch to ALC switch. This method is NOT the smartest method but is most often the method used because it was quicker to install and used less wire. 2. HOME RUN. All switch polling loop wiring home runs back to the controller location and/or to a variety of “Hubs”. This is the easiest method to troubleshoot. TO ISOLATE WHICH SWITCH IS BAD The “Daisy Chain” wiring method often requires you to remove every wall mounted ALC switch for testing. The “Home Run” wiring method allows you to stand in one (or only a few) locations to unwire all ALC switches at the same time. THIS IS BY FAR THE FASTED METHOD! o Either way, you must test the voltage next. And… MOST of the time, you save important troubleshooting time by removing ALL SWITCHES from the polling loop and then testing them one at a time by only installing them ONE AT A TIME! It is reasonable to make a quick test of the switch in question before unwiring all switches. But after this does not fix all the issues, refer back to the procedure to remove all switches and test them one at a time. For the Quick Test, hope that only one switch is bad and test the switch in question before removing ALL other switches from the branch, to do this follow the steps below. 1. Test the DC Voltage on the polling loop wires (communications loop) AT THE SWITCH LOCATION. These wires are Yellow (Positive) and Purple (Negative). On older switches manufacturing before 2009 they are Yellow (positive) and white (negative) or Yellow (positive) and Gray (negative). a. A normal voltage is 4.25 VDC. Depending on how long your cable runs are and how many ALC switches are on the branch, your voltage could be lower. If your voltage is less than 3 VDC then something on that branch is pulling the voltage down. 2. Remove the polling loop wires to the switch in question and test the voltage again. If it returns to a reasonable level, the switch you removed is probably bad. a. Continue this process with EVERY switch on the branch. Then attach each switch one at a time and retest. OR TO SAVE TIME, REMOVE WIRING TO ALL SWITCHES AS MENTIONED EARLIER. Note that occasionally a storm or electrical surge can damage more than one switch and sometimes affects more than one branch. Should this be the case, a shorted switch can certainly exist and can easily be found by checking the voltage to on the branch. BUT…. Some ALC switch failures DO NOT appear as a short. Instead, they fail in a manner that causes them to send out a different address than what is set using the dip switch. In this case, your branch may not work because no two switches can have the same address on the same branch. THE “STAND ALONE” CONTROLLER (PART NUMBER 364644-01) OnQ made a “stand alone” controller (Still in production by Stewart Electronics) that was a popular way to add lighting control to a home without the need for an elaborate control system. The 364644-01 controller could be programmed to control up to 31 ALC switches triggered through the use of 4 button wall mounted “Scene Switches”. Add-ons include: 364720 & 364776 – Scene Switches (with round buttons), Replaced older 364355 scene switches with rectangular buttons. 364709-01 – Lighting Manage – Allows Time & Event programming of events. 364678-01 – Input / Output module. 364645-01 – Distribution module. Makes wiring neater and easier to troubleshoot. Use with or without the 364644 controller. 364677-01 – Branch Hub. Neater wiring, supports up to 9 ALC cable runs. 364698-01 – Serial Interface. Allows control of ALC lighting from your PC or third party controllers. Requires knowledge of serial programming. TESTING INSTALLATION WITH THE 364644 LIGHTING CONTROLLER Installation with the older 364355 scene switches can only be tested with the ALC Scene Tech software. This software is now obsolete. You must upgrade your scene switches to the 364720 or 364776 scene switches to program and/or troubleshoot. To program using a 364720 or 364776 scene switch, press and hold any of the 4 buttons for 15 seconds or until the small LED begins to blink. Then turn on/off or dim the switches that are desired to be a part of that button’s scene. Press the same button again to exit programming. The scene can now be triggered by pressing the button. TO TROUBLESHOOT THE SCENE SWITCH AND THE 364644 CONTROLLER Press and hold any scene switch button until the small LED begins to flash. Should it never flash (never entered programming), the scene switch or the 364644 controller is bad. If none of the scene switches (different scene switches, not different buttons on the same switch) will not enter program mode, then the controller is bad. If your program loses its scenes occasionally, change the 364644 controller. The scenes ARE NOT stored in the 4 button scene switches, they are stored in the controller. TESTING SCENE SWITCHES WHEN INSTALLED WITH HMS OR OMNI CONTROLLERS Older scene switches (part numbers 364355 these are rectangular buttons) require programming of the HMS or HAI controller to trigger scenes or events. See your PCAccess software instructions on how t program scenes. Newer scene switches (rounded buttons) can be programmed without PCAccess software. Note that you should program using only one of these methods or conflicts will occur. All ALC switches will work with any generation of ALC interface boards. HAI part numbers 25a00-1 or 25a00-2. These are BLACK CIRCUIT BOARDS OnQ or Stewart Electronics part numbers 364806-01 or 364806-02. THESE ARE GREEN CIRCUIT BOARDS. Older scene switches (rectangular buttons) can NOT be programmed without PCAccess or Scenetech software Newer scene switches (rounded buttons) THAT ARE ATTACHED TO A NEWER “GREEN” ALC CIRCUIT BOARD INTERFACE, can be programmed with the local 15 second method. PROGRAM SWITCHES There is another version of program switch that is no longer in production (can be replaced by 363142) 363144 – PROGRAM SWITCH This switch is used to trigger events and does not wire directly to a light switch. It requires PCAccess software to program. It can be replaced with a 363142 relay. To use the relay, do not connect up the blue wire to the lighting load. Be sure to wire nut the blue ray as it will have live voltage on it. THREE WAY, FOUR WAY AND AUXILLARY SWITCHES. The 363145 auxillary switch is a low voltage switch that connects to any style ALC dimmer or relay. It has a “common”, an “off” and an “on” wire. Simply connect these to the matching connections on the dimmer or relay. LOW VOLTAGE WIRES COLORS Note that over the years, there have been a number of color changes for the polling loop and the auxillary wires. However the functions are still the same. Regardless of the color of the low voltage cables, always connect as follows: Polling Loop + to Polling Loop + Polling Loop – to Polling Loop – Aux Common on the Dimmer/Relay to Aux Common (on the aux switch) Aux ON on the Dimmer/Relay to Aux ON (on the aux switch) Aux OFF on the Dimmer/Relay to Aux OFF (on the aux switch) DIMMERS AND RELAYS (THESE SWITCHES ALWAYS HAVE A DIP SWITCH) AUXILLARIES (NEVER HAVE HIGH VOLTAGE WIRES, NO POLLING LOOP AND NO DIP SWITCH). There is an 8 button single gang auxillary switch that supports 4 total ALC 3-way circuits.

A The scope of NEC Article 725 covers installation of Class 2 conductors and the conductors of electric light and power circuits together. Article 725-55. (B) through (J) (2005 NEC edition) states that electric light and power circuit conductors can enter an outlet box to connect to the remotely controllable ALC modules, providing that the electric circuit conductors maintain a minimum separation of .25 inches from the other Class 2 conductors connected the ALC modules. In those installations employing a multi-gang switchbox, all electrical circuits within the switchbox are to be associated. In installations employing a multi-gang switchbox where the circuits are not associated, the switchbox shall be listed for and used with partitions.

Dimmer and Non-Dimming Switch Module Derating In many installation scenarios it is necessary to mount more than one Dimmer or Non-Dimming Switch at a switchbox location. When this occurs, side sections of each module’s metal yoke must be removed in order to physically permit the devices to fit within the same switchbox. Removal of these side sections, however, reduces the ability of each module to dissipate heat. To ensure that each module can continue to operate within specified design parameters, the load capacity must be derated. Remove the yoke side sections by using pliers to carefully bend the tabs up and down several times until each tab breaks off.

Do NOT use the ALC Dimmer to control fluorescent lighting, motor operated appliances or transformer-supplied loads. Figure 4. Alternative Installation CAUTION: It is the Installers responsibility to ensure proper installation and compliance with the provisions of NEC Article 725. All Class 2 communication and multi-way switching conductors entering the outlet/wall box must be completely insulated. Step 7: Set the modules address. (This step does not apply to the ALC Auxiliary slave switch module) Each ALC communication-wiring branch may include up to 31 individually addressable modules. Modules residing on the same communication branch must NOT have the same address. CAUTION: Verify all wiring connections and terminations prior to applying AC power to the ALC modules. Excessive loading and electrical shorts will result in destruction of the ALC modules. Misapplication will void the product warranty. CAUTION: Ensure that all conductors remain completely insulated and do not become pinched between the ALC module’s metal yoke and the wall surface, outlet box or cover plate. Any shorts caused by piercing of a conductor’s insulation will cause loss of operation. Step 8: Screw the ALC module into the wall switch junction box with the screws provided. Position the CL2 conductors to allow flush installation of the ALC module to the finished wall surface. Step 9: Install decorator style switch cover plate.

INTRODUCTION The Genesis 13 Lighting ALC BranchTech Interface (P/N 364396-01) is used by installation technicians to perform testing and diagnostics on ALC lighting control installations (see Figure 1). It provides the physical interface between an Genesis 13 Lighting ALC device or communication network wiring branch and a PC or Laptop Computer running the ALC BranchTech Software (P/N 364444-01). 2. DESCRIPTION The ALC BranchTech Interface is a compact, portable, time-saving diagnostic tool that supports up to 31 addressable ALC devices and up to 500 feet of category rated wiring. Figure 1 3. CONTENTS (SEE FIGURE 2): 9 ALC BranchTech Interface Unit • RJ45/COM Port connects the BranchTech to the PC/Laptop • TX+/TX- Jacks connect the BranchTech to the ALC device or communication network wiring branch • Power Jack • "PWR" power indicator illuminates when 12VDC power is applied • "TX" indicator flashes when PC/Laptop transmits instructions to ALC device or network wiring branch • "RX" indicator flashes when data is received from ALC device 9 12 VDC 1.0 A Power Supply • CAUTION: Use only this supplied power supply with the ALC BranchTech Interface 9 36" 8-Conductor Modular Cable • Connects ALC BranchTech Interface to RJ45-to-DB9F adapter on the PC/Laptop's serial port. 9 RJ45-to-DB9F Adapter • Plugs into PC/Laptop Serial Port 9 Red and Black Mini-Grabber Leads with Banana Connectors • Connect ALC BranchTech Interface to ALC device or communication network wiring branch ©Copyright 2010 Genesis13Lighting All Rights Reserved.

INSTALLATION (SEE FIGURE 3) A. B. C. D. Attach one end of the 8-Conductor Modular Cable to the BranchTech's RJ45 jack. Attach the other end of the 8-Conductor Modular Cable to the RJ45-to-DB9F adapter. Connect the RJ45-to-DB9F adapter to the PC/Laptop serial port. Attach the Mini-Grabber leads to the ALC device's communication leads or ALC communication network wiring leads. Figure 3 IMPORTANT: MAINTAIN PROPER POLARITIES When troubleshooting an individual ALC device, the BranchTech's Red (+) Banana Jack must be electrically common to the ALC device's "TX+" (YELLOW) lead, and the BranchTech's Black (-) Banana Jack must be electrically common to the ALC device's "TX-" (WHITE) lead. When troubleshooting a communication network wiring branch from the panel or enclosure, make sure to attach the Mini-Grabber leads to the correct two wires: The "TX+" (YELLOW) leads from every connected ALC device are connected to the same wire back at the panel; the "TX-" (WHITE) leads are all connected to another wire back at the panel. • For example, when Cat5e cable is used, Genesis 13 Lighting recommends using the Blue wire for "TX-" and the White w/Blue wire for "TX+". In this case, you would disconnect the Blue and White w/Blue wires from their controller device at the panel, attach the Black Mini-Grabber lead to the Blue wire, and the Red Mini-Grabber lead to the White w/Blue wire (see Figure 4). • NOTE: While Blue and White w/Blue are the wires suggested by Genesis 13 Lighting, verify the color scheme used during installation before attaching the Mini-Grabber leads. Figure 4 E. F. G. Insert the Banana Plug ends of the Mini-Grabber Leads into the Banana Jacks on the BranchTech. Plug in the 12VDC power supply, then connect it to the ALC BranchTech Interface.

Each time the button is pressed and subsequently released, the Home Lighting Controller’s Activity LED will blink to confirm successful communications. Figure 1. ALC I/O Module III. INPUT AND OUTPUT CONFIGURATION I. INTRODUCTION The part no. 364678-01 ALC Input/Output (I/O) Module (see Figure 1) provides programmable, general purpose input and output control features. The ALC I/O Module may be installed and operated in any Genesis Home Lighting Controller or Scene Learning Interface system. Each ALC I/O Module communicates with the controller via the ALC communications branch. The I/O Module includes two programmable inputs that may be programmed to control any ALC Dimmers, Relay Switches or I/O Module outputs. The I/O Module also includes two programmable outputs that may be controlled by any ALC Scene Switch button, Program Switch button or I/O Module input. Each of the programmable inputs may be configured to sense and activate on application of a contact closure (Normally Open) or a voltage; 5 to 24 V AC/DC. Conversely, each of the programmable inputs may be configured to sense and activate upon the removal of a contact closure (Normally Closed) or a voltage. The user may configure the programmable relay outputs for application of either of two voltage sources (up to 24V AC/DC) or contact closure to each output relay’s terminals. Each output relay terminal block provides the user with the flexibility to choose either “Normally Open” or “Normally Closed” operation. Each output relay provides current capacity to source up to 2A to an external device. Two external voltage sources may be directed through the I/O Module’s output relays to external devices. The external voltage sources may be connected to the module’s Voltage A, GND and Voltage B terminals. The external voltage sources may supply voltages up to 24V AC/DC and current up to 2A. Each output can be independently configured by the user for dry contact operation or application of voltage source A or B by setting the output configuration shunts to the desired positions. Each relay output provides Normally Open (NO), Normally Closed (NC) and Common (C) connection terminals. An LED indicator is provided to indicate the state of each relay output. Each LED will remain off while each relay output remains in its normal position. The output LEDs will turn on to indicate that the relays are activated i.e., not in their normal positions. By setting the input configuration shunts to the desired positions, the I/O Module’s inputs may be configured to sense the application of a contact closure or a voltage; 5 - 24V AC/DC. The inputs may also be configured to activate upon the application or removal of a contact closure or voltage. OUTPUT CONTROL The I/O Module’s relay outputs can be locally operated by following these steps: 1. 2. II. INSTALLATION The ALC I/O Module mounts to any On-Q enclosure or Network Center bracket. The module provides 12VDC and GND connections via the module’s 110 style IDC connector. Alternatively, power may be connected via the module’s 2.1x5.5mm power jack. Each I/O module draws approximately 100mA. Upon applying power to the module, the POWER and STATUS LEDs will turn on. ©Copyright 2010 by Genesis 13 Lighting All Rights Reserved. 3. Press and hold the OUTPUT SELECT button. Simultaneously activate the input corresponding to the desired output by pressing input button 1 or 2. Push button again until the corresponding output reaches the desired state. Release the OUTPUT SELECT button. Page 1 of 2 INSTRUCTION / INSTALLATION SHEET ALC I/O Module 1154 Jordan Rd.

Each I/O Module output may be controlled by a lighting scene. To enter program mode (also known as scene learning mode), follow these steps: 1. 2. 3. Press and hold the PROGRAM MODE button for 15 seconds to enter program mode. Upon entering program mode, the STATUS LED will blink continuously. Release the PROGRAM MODE button. Set any ALC Dimmer or Relay Switches to be included in the scene program. Set any I/O Module outputs to be included in the scene program by following the OUTPUT CONTROL procedure. Any unchanged ALC Dimmers, Relay Switches or I/O Module outputs will not be included in the new scene program. Note: Even though an ALC Dimmer or Relay Switch may already be on, the user must change the output level in order for it to be included in the new scene program. 4. To conclude the scene programming, activate the desired input. Once activated, the STATUS LED will stop blinking and the new scene program will be permanently associated with the selected input. To restore the new lighting scene program, the input may be momentarily or continuously activated. All lights and outputs belonging to that scene program are then set to their stored levels. Lights and outputs not belonging to the scene program are not effected when the lighting scene is restored. Figure 2. ALC Address Dip Switch Settings Once the system has entered program mode, the homeowner has up to 10 minutes to set the ALC lighting and output levels. If the user has not returned to the I/O Module to finish the scene programming process within 10 minutes, the system automatically exits programming mode and no changes are made to any previously programmed lighting scenes. Re-programming can be performed at any time by following the preceding steps. To remove a scene program from an input, follow the preceding steps 1, 2 and 4. Programming a new scene without changing any light or output levels will cause an ‘empty’ scene to be assigned to that input. ©Copyright 2010 by Genesis 13 Lighting All Rights Reserved. V.

The Hub incorporates active electronics that selectively recondition weakened communication signals on an ALC two-wire communications branch. The Hub supports direct wiring of ALC switches to a centralized connection location providing a structured ALC lighting system installation. A direct wiring methodology is conducive to testing and efficient isolation of faults when they occur. The Hub acts as a conduit to pass ALC communications between all connected switches and a lighting controller (see Figure 2). Each ALC Enhanced Branch Hub provides a DIP switch at each ALC switch connection point to allow efficient isolation of individual lighting controls from the ALC communication branch. A single category cable may provide ALC communications and 12 VDC, 100mA power to each Hub. Each ALC Enhanced Branch Hub is installed in a Hide-A-Port outlet (included) for a clean professional installation and easy accessibility. ©Copyright 2010 by Genesis 13 Lighting All Rights Reserved. + - + BRANCH GND 12VDC Cable Conductor Color Coding White/Blue = ALC Branch "+" Blue = ALC Branch "-" White/Brown = 12 VDC White/Green = Ground To Controller ALC To Controller Branch Terminals 12V & GND Figure 2.

Introduction The part no. 364806-xx EZ-Scene ALC Lighting Interface (see Figure 1) enables any On-Q HMS Controller or HAI OMNI controller to control Genesis’s Advanced Lighting Controls. Additionally, the expansion module provides local lighting scene programming capability. EZ-Scene programming allows ALC 4-Button Scene Switches and RF Remote Controls to learn the lighting level settings of ALC Dimmers, Relay Switches and Non-Dimming controls independent of the HMS Controller. The part no. 364806-01 1-Branch HMS/Omni EZ-Scene ALC Lighting Interface provides control of up to 31 ALC controls. The part no. 364806-02 4-Branch HMS/Omni EZ-Scene ALC Lighting Interface provides control of up to 124 ALC controls. Both expansion module part nos. support a total of 64 EZScene local lighting scene programs. The HMS Model 800/Omni LT controller provides direct control of up to 16 ALC controls on branch no. 1. The HMS Model 950E/ Omni Pro controller provides direct control of 62 ALC controls on branch nos. 1 and 2. The HMS Model 1100 controller provides direct control of up to 248 ALC switches using up to two part no. 364806-02 EZ-Scene ALC Lighting Interface modules. Figure 2.

Control Connections Terminals indicated as “A” in Figure 3, provide connections for communication to ALC controls. Branch nos. 1 - 4 can have up to 31 ALC controls directly connected to them via up to 500 feet of category rated cable. Note: Part no. 364806-01 provides a single ALC communication branch. Terminal connections for branches 2 - 4 will not be present. Part no. 364806-02 provides terminal connections for all four communication branches. Note: Do not exceed the HMS/Omni controller’s device load limit. Consult the HMS/Omni controller’s installation manual for device load ratings. ALC controls may be connected directly to the branch communication terminal connections as shown in Figure 4. Correct polarity must be maintained. Inputs 1 - 4, indicated as “B” in Figure 3, provide terminal connections for Genesis’s part no. 364697-01 RF Remote Control Receiver or other external device outputs. These four logiclevel inputs simulate the four buttons of an ALC Scene Switch. These inputs are referred to as Virtual Scene Switch Inputs. Each one of the four inputs can have an EZ-Scene program assigned to it. The external device may provide dry contact or voltage outputs (5-12VDC) to the inputs. The external device’s outputs must be configured as normally open/logic high (512VDC). A virtual switch press is registered when the external device’s outputs become closed/logic low (<0.8VDC) for at least 100msec. All contact closures or voltages are applied between each input connection and GND. Figure 3. Input and Branch Communication Connections External devices requiring 12VDC power, such as ALC Branch Hub (P/N 364677-01 and P/N364736-01) or RF Remote Control Receiver (P/N364697-01), may draw their power from the HMS Controller’s AUX 12V and GND power connections. The 12VDC power connections are shown as “C” in Figure 3. Figure 4. Direct ALC Communication Wiring ©Copyright 2010 by Genesis 13 Lighting All Rights Reserved.

Operation Upon powering up the EZ-Scene Interface, the STATUS LED indicator will blink at a rate of approximately 1 blink per second. If the STATUS indicator remains On or Off, it is an indication of a fault. In the event of a fault, check all connections and power to the HMS Controller. Subsequent to making any alterations to the system, such as an address change to an ALC control, the EZ-Scene Interface should be reset. Resetting can be accomplished either by removing power or by momentarily pressing the RESET button. Note: Remove power to the Interface prior to connecting new devices. Verify all connections prior to restoring power The ACTIVITY LED indicator serves as a diagnostic feature. The ACTIVITY LED will blink whenever ALC control activity is detected. The LED will also blink when activity is detected at any of the four inputs. The ACTIVITY LED is particularly useful in verifying proper connection of ALC controls. When any properly communicating ALC switch button is pressed or any properly connected input is activated, the ACTIVITY LED indicator will blink in response to the event. HMS/Omni Lighting Control Complete instructions for controlling and programming ALC controls from the HMS Controller and configuring the HMS controller for EZ-Scene Interface operation, can be found in the installation and owner’s manuals included with each HMS controller. Programming Local Lighting Scenes A total of 64 lighting scenes can be programmed into each EZScene Interface. All memorized lighting levels are retained in the EZ-Scene Interface’s memory (EEPROM). All scene programs are preserved in the event of a power outage. Local lighting scene programming and operation is not limited by the unit control capacity of the HMS controller. For example, although the HMS Model 800 controller is limited to control of 16 ALC controls, up to 124 ALC controls can be included in locally programmed lighting scenes. Note: Up to two EZ-Scene Interfaces may be connected to an HMS Model 1100 controller, however local lighting scene programming of each EZ-Scene Interface will function as an independent area. The EZ-Scene Interface is placed into “Scene Learning Mode” in order to define the ALC lighting levels for a local lighting scene program. The user places the system into “Scene Learning Mode” by pressing and holding any ALC Scene Switch button or pulling Inputs 1 - 4 low (GND) for 15 seconds. The LED indicator on the ALC Scene Switch blinks continuously when the button has been held long enough. Additionally, the EZ-Scene Interface module’s ACTIVITY LED indicator will blink continuously to indicate that “Scene Learning Mode” has been entered. After 15 seconds, the user should release the button or input to allow it to return to its normal state. The user then sets all lighting levels to be controlled by the lighting scene. The user ©Copyright 2010 by Genesis 13 Lighting All Rights Reserved. IS-0311 Rev. B must press each ALC Dimmer, Relay Switch or Non-Dimming control if it is to be included in the new local lighting scene program. The final output level of the selected ALC Dimmer, Relay Switch or Non-Dimming control will be stored in the local lighting scene program. After setting all lighting levels of ALC controls that are intended to be included in the new local lighting scene program, the user should momentarily press and release the button to complete the programming operation. The EZ-Scene Interface’s ACTIVITY LED and the ALC Scene Switches’ LED indicator will stop blinking when the system leaves the Scene Learning Mode. Programming of the new lighting scene is now completed and stored in EEPROM memory. While the system is in Scene Learning Mode, no other system functions may be performed during this time. If the user does not complete programming of the local lighting scene within 10 minutes, the system automatically leaves the Scene Learning Mode and no changes are made to any local lighting scenes. Restoring Local Lighting Scenes To restore a locally programmed lighting scene, the user momentarily presses and releases the desired Scene Switch or RF Remote Control button. All ALC lighting controls belonging to that scene are then set to their programmed levels. ALC lighting controls not belonging to the scene are not affected when the scene is restored. Re-Programming Local Lighting Scenes To change the ALC lighting controls or levels that are included in a scene, the user simply repeats the scene programming process. The lighting levels for the new local lighting scene will replace the old ones. To remove a local lighting scene from any button or input, simply enter Scene Learning Mode then press that button or input again without changing any lighting levels. That button or input will then be assigned an “empty” scene. 5.

O 1. Introduction The Advanced Lighting Control Interface for ELK-M1 (P/N 364864-01) combines the functionality of an Genesis Home Lighting Controller and an ELK-M1XSP expander. The lighting interface (see Figure 1) provides highspeed, two-way communications with Genesis Advanced Lighting Control (ALC) switches. The lighting interface’s flexible control features enable it to function as a standalone lighting system controller for basic convenience and security lighting applications. Alternatively, when connected to an ELK-M1 controller, the control interface supports fully automated whole-house lighting control functions. on·Q ADVANCED LIGHTING CONTROL ACTIVITY STATUS JP1 .

Description In a basic system installation, ALC 4-Button Scene Switches provide an interface to the homeowner for control of lighting within a room, multiple rooms or even lights and appliances throughout the entire home. The Advanced Lighting Control Interface for ELK-M1 incorporates features that permit ALC Scene Switches to automatically learn the light level settings of ALC dimmer and relay switches. By simply pressing and holding a button, the homeowner can program groups of lights set to any desired levels. After programming, each time a Scene Switch’s button is pressed, all associated ALC dimmer and relay switch output levels will automatically resume their programmed levels. Since, all ALC lighting switches can both receive and transmit data via the lighting interface, the press of any ALC switch can serve as program triggers for automated control of security levels, temperature set-points, audio settings, etc. When connected to an ELK-M1 controller, ALC switches can be controlled based on time-of-day, system modes and security related events. 3. Installation The lighting interface mounts into any On-Q enclosure. The lighting interface operates on the ELK-M1’s Keypad data bus. The Lighting Interface will normally be co-located with the ELK-M1 controller. Before making any connections, turn off the M1 Master Power Switch. Connect terminals +12V, A, B, and Neg from the lighting interface to the ELK M1’s keypad data bus terminals +VKP, Data A, Data B and Neg. ©Copyright 2010 by Genesis 13 Lighting All Rights Reserved.

O NOTE: Refer to the M1 Installation Manual for proper connection of ELK data bus devices with multiple homerun cables. The lighting interface incorporates a 4-position address switch with each position set to either OFF or ON (binary value 0 or 1). The factory default address of the lighting interface is 1. If the lighting interface is installed with ELKM1XSP expanders, each expander should then be set to a unique address (see Figure 2). ELK Bus Address Figure 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Pos 1 On Off On Off On Off On Switch Settings Pos 2 Pos 3 Off Off On Off On Off Off On Off On On On On On Pos 4 Off Off Off Off Off Off Off The lighting interface incorporates a 120 Ohm terminating resistor for the ELK M1 data bus. Since the lighting interface is intended to be installed adjacent to the ELK-M1 controller, the 120 Ohm terminating resistor is not engaged when the lighting interface is shipped from the factory. If the lighting interface is installed in a remote location, the 120 Ohm terminating resistor can be engaged by placing a jumper on the 2-pin header labeled JP2. Consult the ELK-M1 installation instructions for additional details concerning data bus EOL termination. For communication branches requiring more than 500 feet of cable, the Genesis P/N 364677-01 or 364736-01 ALC Branch Wiring Hubs should be employed (see Figure 3). Each lighting interface provides connections for distribution of 12VDC power to the Branch Hubs. If multiple Branch Hubs are required for an installation, an Genesis P/N 364645-01 Wiring Distribution Module may be employed to provide wiring/cable management. ©Copyright 2010 by Genesis 13 Lighting All Rights Reserved.

O While the system is in Scene Learning Mode, no other lighting system functions can be performed. If the user does not complete programming of the scene within 10 minutes, the system automatically leaves the Scene Learning Mode and no changes are made to any scenes. RESTORING LOCAL LIGHTING SCENES To restore a user programmed lighting scene, the user will momentarily press and release the desired Scene Switch button. All lights belonging to that scene are then set to their programmed levels. Lights not belonging to the scene are not affected when the scene is restored. RE-PROGRAMMING LOCAL LIGHTING SCENES To change the devices or levels that are included in a user programmed scene, the user simply repeats the scene programming process. The levels for the new scene will replace the old ones. To remove a scene from any button, simply enter Scene Learning Mode then press that button again without changing any light levels in the system. That button will then be assigned an “empty” scene. 5.

O Step 7: Place the switch and wires in the wall box Step 8: Fasten the switch into the wallbox with the screws provided. Step 9: Install decorator style switch cover plate. Step 10: Apply power to the 120 VAC lighting/power circuit. CAUTION: Verify all wiring connections and terminations prior to applying 120 VAC power to the PLC Switch. Excessive loading and electrical shorts will result in destruction of the switch. Misapplication will void the product warranty 900W Dimmer and Non-Dimming Switch Derating In many installation scenarios it is necessary to mount more than one Dimmer or Non-Dimming Switch at a wallbox location. When this occurs, side sections of each module’s metal yoke must be removed in order to physically permit the devices to fit within the same switchbox. Removal of these side sections, however, reduces the ability of each module to dissipate heat. To ensure that each module can continue to operate within specified design parameters, the load capacity must be derated. Remove the yoke side sections by using pliers to carefully bend the tabs up and down several times until each tab breaks off.

See Figure 3 for wiring connections Multi-way control makes it possible for a group of switches to control the same lighting circuit. Figure 3 depicts how to wire a PLC Dimmer or Non-Dimming Switch and their associated Auxiliary Switches for multiway lighting circuit control. The Auxiliary Switches’ black lead should be connected to the same 120 VAC leg of the electrical service as its associated Dimmer or NonDimming Switch. If the Auxiliary Switch is connected to the opposite leg of the 120 VAC electrical service, the action of the switch will be opposite to that expected. That is, the top will function as Off/Dim and bottom will function as On/Bright. This may be corrected by reversing the black and yellow wires to obtain correct operation. Alternatively, the Auxiliary Switch may be rotated and installed with the Off/Dim end at the top. 3.

INTRODUCTION The patented OnQ Advanced Lighting Control (ALC) family of products provide enhanced lighting control with superior reliability at a low cost. The ALC control modules offer architectural grade lighting control as well as control of appliances and AC outlets. ALC is ideal for new residential and light commercial construction, including single family homes, town homes, and apartments where low cost and “hard-wired” reliability are desired for control of lighting and appliances. ALC control modules include four types: Relay switches (for on/off lighting and power control), Dimmer modules (for lighting level control), Auxiliary switches (for multi-way control of Relay and Dimmer modules) and Program switches (for program control of lighting, appliances, outlets, light groups and house modes). Figure 1. ALC Switch Modules ALC Dimmer modules provide true multi-way dimming control. ALC Dimmer modules include an innovative “filament saver” feature which provides prolonged bulb life. ALC dimmer modules have been designed for optimum control of the most common lighting types including incandescent, halogen and conventional magnetic low voltage. When connected to an automation system, ALC Dimmer modules provide enhanced lighting features including remotely programmable dimming and brightening rates, instant lighting level changes and programmable lighting “preset” levels. Since ALC modules support two-way communication, the press of an ALC switch can initiate other system events and macros for program control of security levels, temperature set-points, entertainment equipment settings and lighting groups. The ALC control modules are FCC, Part 15, Class B verified. All modules are UL listed. ALC control modules require no special AC wiring practices. When installed as directed, ALC module installations comply with the installation and wiring practices of the NFPA 70 National Electrical Code. Feature highlights include: Automated Lighting and AC Power Control • Lighting Scenes • Architectural Lighting • AC Outlet Control • Appliance Control • Security Lighting • House Modes Versatile Lighting Level Control • “Jump to” Light Levels • “Ramp to” Light Levels at Standard Rate • “Ramp to” Light Levels at Programmable Rates • Programmable Light Level “Preset” • Double Press “Ramp Off” • Filament Saver • True Multi-Way Dimming Control • Designed for Compatibility with Conventional Magnetic Low Voltage Lighting Attractive Decorator Styling • Available in White, Almond and Ivory Standard AC Electrical Wiring • No Special AC Wiring Practices Required • 1999 National Electrical Code Compliant Low Voltage, Hard-Wired Control • High Speed Communication, 9600 bps • Two-Way Communicating • “Hard-Wired” Communication Reliability • Multi-Way Control Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.

ALC Switch Module Wiring Interfaces Each ALC control module provides a pushbutton-programmable user interface to an OnQ HMS controller or any serially communicating control system. Each ALC module is network addressable via a single ALC “branch” address. Each ALC module’s integral pushbutton switches can initiate system events when configured into a control network and when programmed for such purposes. A common application of an ALC Program or Cluster Switch module is control of system (house) modes or macros, where each individual pushbutton will be programmed to invoke particular security, temperature and lighting levels. Additionally, the ALC Relay and Dimming control modules may provide local electrical load control. Local control by definition is control of an attached electrical load via the module’s integral ON and OFF pushbutton switch pair. ALC Relay control modules may provide simple ON/OFF control of an attached electrical load. An ALC Dimmer control module may provide local variable or dimming/brightening load control by sequences of ON and OFF pushbutton switch presses of varying duration. When connected to a network controller via the two-wire communication interface, the operation of each control module can be controlled remotely. V V Vθ = Iθ Resistive Load I I Vθ < Iθ Inductive Load Figure 3. Resistive vs. Inductive Load Characteristics The design of the ALC Dimmer module compensates for differences in current phase with respect to voltage phase in order to prevent catastrophic failure to the dimmer modules and to the load devices the dimmer modules are delivering power to. Such potentially catastrophic phase differences are due to inductive loading characteristics exhibited by various electrical load devices found throughout the residential environment including magnetic low voltage lighting and fans.

OPERATION 2.1.1. Local Operation A switch press is defined as a press, applied by a human operator, lasting at least 50 milliseconds. The switch inputs are software de-bounced to prevent erroneous multiple closures. Switch presses must be separated by 200 millisecond intervals to be interpreted as multiple presses. For the ALC dimmer control module, there are two defined switch actuation durations; “short” and “long”. A short switch press is defined as lasting less than 330 milliseconds while a long switch press is any duration greater than 330 milliseconds. Switch Press OFF Short 2x OFF Short OFF Long ON Long ON Short 2x ON Short Present Full OFF Full OFF Full OFF Full OFF Full OFF Full OFF Subsequent Full OFF Full OFF Full OFF Ramp Up Jump to Preset Full ON Output State Present Subsequent 1% to 99% Full OFF 1% to 99% Slow Ramp OFF 1% to 99% Ramp Down 1% to 99% Ramp Up 1% to 99% Full ON 1% to 99% Full ON Present Full ON Full ON Full ON Full ON Full ON Full ON Subsequent Full OFF Slow Ramp OFF Ramp Down Full ON Full ON Full ON Table 1. Dimmer Control Module Local Output Control There are two ramp rates utilized for control of power to the applied load. The “standard” ramp rate is 4.27 seconds for a full ramping (dimming/brightening) excursion (full ON to full OFF or full OFF to full ON). The other ramp rate is the “extended” ramp rate. Its default value is 10.67 seconds for a full excursion ramp. The extended ramp rate can be remotely set from 2.33 seconds to 9.71 hours with a resolution of 2.33 seconds. The ALC dimmer control module implements a third ramp rate to effect a “soft-ON” characteristic for limiting cold filament current in rush thus, extending light bulb filament life. The soft-ON feature limits sharp power increases from the full OFF state, to a maximum ½ second excursion to the full ON state. When the ALC dimmer control module is reset (120 VAC power removed then re-applied), the module initializes to the following conditions: Preset Value Extended Ramp Rate AC Output Power Level 50% (64) 10.67 seconds (5) 0 Table 2. Dimmer Control Module Power-ON Reset Defaults The relay control module is locally controlled by presses of its integral “ON” and “OFF” pushbutton switches. Pressing the “ON” switch will cause the module to apply 120 VAC power to the applied load. Similarly, if the “OFF” switch is pressed, 120 VAC power will be removed from the applied load.

Auxiliary Local Operation In addition to ALC Dimmer and Relay control modules’ integral ON and OFF pushbutton switches, an external 3 wire interface is provided for connection to an Auxiliary (slave) switch. The Auxiliary switch module includes an integral ON and OFF switch pair to facilitate multi-way control of 120 VAC loads connected to ALC Dimmer and Relay control modules. Any number of Auxiliary switches may be connected to an ALC Dimmer or Relay control module. 2.2. Remote Operation The ALC control modules can be controlled over each switch’s two-wire communication interface. A network controller can poll each control module for changes to its local ON and OFF pushbutton switch status. “Turn-ON” and “Turn-OFF” commands can be issued to the Relay and Dimmer control modules in order to remotely control application of 120 VAC power to an attached electrical load. Additional output level control instructions can be issued to the Dimmer control module. Registers within each control module can be accessed to retrieve module status information, identification and stored value information. The registers are accessed through the transmission of instruction packets. “Writing” a value to the LIGHT LEVEL register will cause a dimmer module’s AC output to jump to a corresponding output level. A ramp to a specific level is invoked by writing a value to the RAMP-to-LEVEL register (for standard ramp rate) or by writing a value to the EXTENDED RAMP-to-LEVEL register (for an extended ramp rate). Writing any value to a Dimmer module’s STOP register will stop ramping activity that is in progress. Note: The STOP register can also be used to stop a locally initiated extended ramp (double Short OFF) but cannot be used to stop a locally initiated standard ramp. Control activities initiated locally take priority over remotely issued commands. A local switching control activity in progress cannot be interrupted by a remote command. Any remote instruction received while a local switching control activity is in progressed, will be acknowledge by the control module but no activity will result. 2.2.1. Communication Protocol The ALC control modules communicate with a network controller over a two-pair wire network. The communication protocol is asynchronous serial, half duplex. The character format is “standard” 8, n, 1, 9600 i.e., start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, 9600 bps. Each ALC module contains a 5-bit DIP switch by which each module is assigned a unique network (branch) address. The 5-bit switch settings correspond to an address range of 0 through 31. All instruction packets originating from the network controller include an address field to identify the destination module. Only the module whose address matches the address contained within the instruction packet, will respond to the instruction. The one exception is the address “0” or “all stations” address. The module will respond to address “0” instructions and instructions identified by it’s unique address, only if the instruction is valid for a module’s operation. Each module will respond to valid network instructions with its unique address. All network instructions are acknowledged or otherwise responded to immediately. All network extended packets are check-summed to detect errors.

Bits 4 and 5 are automatically cleared upon being read by the network controller. Bit 6 indicates the modules power-on reset condition. The network controller clears these bits by writing to the status register as shown in section 2.2.4.

This instruction is written to the module’s status register. Data Word 1 (in this context DW1 is also called the TRAP mask) of the extended data packet defines those status bits to be monitored by placing a “1” at the corresponding bit positions. Subsequently, when the network controller “polls” the cluster switch module, the module will respond to the poll in one of two ways: 1) If none of the defined status bits have changed since the TRAP instruction was issued, the control module will simply acknowledge the network controller’s POLL instruction. 2) If a defined status bit has changed, the control module will automatically respond to the poll by sending its status byte via an extended data packet STATUS report. Subsequent to receiving the TRAP report status byte, the network controller, as a matter of procedure, will clear the TRAP mask by re-issuing the TRAP instruction with DW1 set to 0x00h. 7 0 6 Reset 5 ON Switch Press In Progress 4 OFF Switch Press In Progress 3 ON Switch Pressed 2 OFF Switch Pressed 1 Power Level Not 0 0 Reserved Table 4.A.

The header byte is distinguished from all other packet bytes by a “1” in the most significant bit (bit 7). The least significant five bits of the header byte represent the module address. The address is that of the module regardless of the packet direction. Each module will process all incoming address fields to determine if an instruction transmission is intended for it. The module will use its own address in response packets to inform the network controller that the intended module is responding. 7 1 6, 5 Packet Type 4 .. 0 Module Address Table 6. Packet Header Byte A two bit data packet type field within the header byte identifies the packet type. The meaning of this field depends on the direction of the packet. The packet types are defined in Table 7. Only the type 00 packets, which are singlebyte, do not have check sums. These packets are sent as network polls and acknowledges by the network controller and modules respectively. Packet Type No. 00 01 10 11 Packet Type Desc.

Report & Acknowledge Packets (Module to Controller) The checksum (for those packets that use one) is a seven bit value that will cause the modulo 128 sum of all the bytes in the packet (including the header and checksum bytes) to be the value 0. The checksum byte is computed by the sender by summing all of the bytes up to, but not including, the checksum byte. The resultant value is subtracted from 0 and the modulo 128 result is the checksum to be sent. The receiver validates a packet by summing all of the bytes (including the checksum) and checking the low 7 bits for the value 0. OnQ Technologies, Inc. www.onqtech.com 301 Fulling Mill Road, Middletown, PA 17057 Page 9 800-321-2343 1307558 05/14/01 Do Not Distribute OnQ PROPRIETARY Technical Guide Advanced Lighting Control There are three packet types by which network controller instructions and module reports are communicated; single byte, short and extended packet. The single byte packet provides for quick polls and acknowledges. Since these packets do not control power or have visible consequences if not correctly interpreted, they are sent without a checksum. The format of the Poll packet and the Acknowledge packet is identical and is shown below. 7 1 6, 5 00 4 .. 0 Address Table 8. Poll Packet (Network Controller) and Acknowledge Packet (Module) The “TURN-ON” and “TURN-OFF” packets (only sent from the network controller) include checksums and are two bytes each. These are called short packets and they permit efficient transmission of ON/OFF commands.

Turn-ON and Turn-OFF Instruction Packets The extended packet is of variable length and allows larger amounts of information to be transmitted. The extended packet has a command byte immediately following the header byte. The command byte specifies the command type, the number of data words in the packet and a register index.

Extended Data Packet Register Index The header byte is recognized by the presence of a “1” in the most significant bit (all other packet bytes have a “0” in that bit). Any instruction, not recognized as valid by the module, will be ignored. The data length field of the command byte specifies the number of data words included in the packet between the command byte and the checksum byte. The register index field specifies 1 of 3 possible registers to be read, written or trapped by the network controller. The register index meaning is specific to the type of switch module. For example, a Dimmer module may have an extended ramp rate register while this would not be applicable to a relay module.

Interfacing The OnQ Advanced Lighting Control Interface module provides an electronic interface between an automation controller’s (or PC’s) RS232 serial port and an OnQ ALC communication network wiring branch. The ALC Interface module supports connection of up to 31 addressable ALC switch modules and up to 500 feet of category rated wiring.

Controller-to-ALC Switch Module Interface The OnQ P/N 364396 ALC Interface module provides an 8-conductor modular jack for connection to an automation controller’s RS232 serial port. The ALC Interface module provides banana connections for termination of the ALC communication network wiring branch. Each ALC Interface module incorporates three(3) LED indicators; Power(PWR), Transmit(TX) and Receive(RX). These indicators indicate the application of power and the presence of serial data communications between the automation controller and ALC switches through the ALC Interface module. RX GND TX RTS Signal Pin-Out Pos 1: RX 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Pos 3: TX Pos 4: GND Pos 8: RTS Figure 5. Control Interface Pin-Out Each ALC Interface module is pre-configured in the “AutoRTS” mode. The Auto-RTS feature allows the automation controller to transmit/receive data to/from ALC communication network without the need to provide external data packet direction control. In many cases this simplifies implementation of ALC control within the automation controller’s programming and also facilitates simplification of control through serial ports that only provide Transmit(Tx), Receive(Rx) and Ground(GND) signal connections. Alternatively, each ALC Interface module can be field configured so the automation controller can provide external data packet direction control via the serial port’s RTS modem control line. In this scenario, prior to transmission of the instruction packet, the RTS control line must be set. Immediately upon completion of transmission of the instruction packet, the RTS control line must be cleared. The ALC switch modules will respond with reports/acknowledges within milliseconds of receiving an instruction packet.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES 5.1. Cable Installation Guidelines The OnQ ALC Switch modules are intended for installation in homes that have been pre-wired for installation of ALC switch modules. A Class 2 low voltage, multi-pair, category rated cable and an uninterrupted source of 120 VAC must be present at each switch location. Additionally, a Class 2 low voltage auxiliary switching cable should be present for multi-way switching applications. The ALC communication and auxiliary switching cables should be located above and outside each wall switch junction box. Class 2 Cable Wire Splice ALC Switch Module Wall Stud Wall Switch Junction Box NM-B Cable (120 VAC) Figure 6. ALC Installation, Class 2 vs. NM-B Wiring When connected to an ALC Interface module and when employing category rated cable (3, 5 or 5e), the maximum communication cable run length should not exceed 500 feet. When the installation conforms to this specification, the resulting communications path will provide optimum communications reliability. The ALC communication cable runs may be installed and terminated as a single continuous cable run or may be installed and terminated in a “star” (sub-branches) configuration. Auxiliary (slave) switching cable runs have no maximum cable length limitations. All Class 2 low voltage cable runs should maintain a minimum 2” separation distance from NM-B cable runs.

ALC Communications Wiring, “Star” (Sub-Branch) Wired Installation In installation scenarios where the maximum communication cable run length limitation of 500 feet must be exceeded, adherence to the following guidelines will aid in alleviating communication losses within the communication branch network: Recommendation No.1) An individual ALC switch should never see more than 500 feet of cable between itself and the ALC Interface module. All communication cable runs should be kept as short as possible (The shorter the better!) It is the signal returning from each ALC switch that is the most vulnerable to degradation and loss. The switch that is farthest away, is the one most likely to experience loss of communications. Recommendation No.2) Where possible, wire in multiple sub-branches but do not allow the total cumulative communication cable run length to exceed 1000 feet. 5.2. ALC Switch Module Installation Procedure NOTE - ALC switch modules must be installed and used in accordance with all applicable electrical codes and regulations. In order to avoid risk of fire, shock or damage to the ALC switch modules, 120VAC power should be turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse. Prior to installation, 120 VAC power should be verified to be off. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Remove electrical power from the 120 VAC circuit. Retrieve the ALC communication branch and auxiliary switching cables as required. Remove 9.53mm [.375 in] insulation from each cable conductor end. Identify and retrieve the 120 VAC “Hot”, “Switched Hot”, “Neutral” and “Ground” wires as required. Remove the insulation from each ALC switch module AC lead.

Connect all wires according to Figure 2 with the wire nuts and splice terminals supplied. The low voltage wire splices provided will accept two (2) wires at each end. To ensure that all wires are properly terminated, twist the stripped ends together prior to inserting. Insert the wires into the splice terminal. The ends of the wires should be visible at the middle of the splice terminal. Crimp the barrel of the splice terminal with an “AMP SUPER CHAMP” tool or equivalent. Tug each crimped wire to verify proper termination. If a single wire must be inserted into a splice terminal end, install an additional filler wire to ensure a reliable crimp. Set the switch module address. This step does not apply to the ALC auxiliary switch module. NOTE - Each ALC communication branch may include up to thirty-one (31) individually addressable switch modules. Switch modules residing on the same communication branch must NOT have the same address. 8. 9. 10. Screw the switch module into the wall switch junction box with the screws provided. Place the low voltage wires and splices over the top and outside of the wall switch junction box and behind the wall. Install the cover plate. NOTE - All wiring connections and terminations should be verified prior to applying 120 VAC power to the ALC switch modules. Excessive loading and electrical shorts may result in the destruction of the ALC switch modules. 11. 12. Apply power to the 120 VAC circuit. Test ALC relay and dimmer switch modules by actuating the rocker switch to control power to the attached load. 5.3. ALC Dimmer Control Module De-Rating NOTE – To avoid overheating and possible damage to the dimmer switch modules and other equipment, do not use the ALC Dimmer Switch modules to control receptacles, fluorescent lighting, motor operated appliances or transformer-supplied loads. 5.3.1. ALC 500W Dimmers When individually installed in a single gang junction box, the dimmer switch module shall not be loaded beyond 500 Watts. When two (2) dimmer switch modules are ganged together within the same wall switch junction box, neither switch module shall be loaded beyond 400 Watts. When three (3) or more modules are ganged together, none of the modules should be loaded beyond 300 Watts. 5.3.2. ALC Hi-Watt Dimmers When individually installed in a single gang junction box, the dimmer switch module shall not be loaded beyond 800 Watts. When two (2) dimmer switch modules are ganged together within the same wall switch junction box, neither switch module shall be loaded beyond 600 Watts. When three (3) or more modules are ganged together, none of the modules should be loaded beyond 500 Watts.
