Labeling your device

When installing devices, it’s important to keep track of their Device IDs, installation locations, panel/circuit #s, dimming function, and any additional notes. To organize this information, use the Lightcloud Installer Application (A) or Device Table (B)

Lightcloud Installer Application

Install the LC Installer Application:

LC Installer is available for iOS and Android.

Scan & Install Lightcloud Devices:

Scan each device and assign to a room. It’s recommended that each device is scanned just before or just after being wired so no devices are missed. The more notes are given, the easier it is to commission the system.

Power up and Set Phase Dimming Mode

Phase Dimmer: Dimming Mode

The Phase Dimmer is configured from the factory for reverse-phase dimming, which is suitable for

LED, incandescent, electronic low voltage, and dimmable CFL lighting.

For magnetic loads, you must manually configure the mode to forward phase before using.

WARNING

: Using the Phase Dimmer in the wrong mode may cause damage to the load or the Phase Dimmer.

Setting the Dimming Mode

To switch between forward and reverse phase dimming modes, press the phase mode button.

The button is recessed and will require using a small pointed object such as a paperclip.

After pressing the phase mode button, the lights on the Phase

Dimmer will animate to show the direction of the phase.

Features

The Lightcloud Phase Dimmer can be used to switch or dim the attached load or other Lightcloud Controllers. By default, the Phase Dimmer is configured for reverse phase dimming of the attached load. To configure the Phase Dimmer button, use the Lightcloud web application, or call RAB at

1-844-LIGHTCLOUD.

SWITCH MODE:

In Switch Mode, the Dimmer is paired with a specific zone(s) to provide switching.

Top and Bottom Buttons:

• Single Press: Switch zone on/off

Note: Switching appears instantaneous but involves a 0.5 second fade that is not recommended for non-dimmable loads.

DIMMER MODE:

Dimmer Mode adds dimming capabilities to the buttons.

Top Button:

• Single press while zone is off: switch zone on.

• Single press while zone is on: dim up to max gradually, stopping at current position if bottom button is pressed.

• Press and hold while zone is on: dim up gradually, release to set dim level.

Bottom Button:

• Single press while zone is on: switch zone off.

• Press and hold while zone is on: dim down gradually, release to set dim level.

SCENE MODE:

In Scene Mode, the top and bottom buttons activate preselected scenes. This can be configured using the Lightcloud web application or by calling RAB.
