ESCGRID1000 – LVDC Grid Luminaire Controller

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The LVDC Grid Luminaire Controller is a wireless device which provides electrical connectivity between the light fixture (load) and 24V DC power and provides on/off power control and PWM based dimming to the load. The information that tells the controller to power on/off/dim the fixture is acquired via wireless signals that originate from a building automation system or room controls, based on environmental conditions and/or predetermined programs.

LOAD Connector

The LOAD Connector accepts 18 AWG copper conductors, solid or stranded (16 strands or less).

Use only one conductor per port and ensure that no copper is exposed on any of the wires after installation.

1. Strip the wires to 3/8”.

2. Grip the LOAD +24V wire and firmly push conductor into the port marked with the black stripe. See Fig. 2.

3. Grip the LOAD -24V wire and firmly push conductor into the unmarked port. See Fig. 2.

4. After LOAD wire installation, the load can safely be disconnected and re-connected without re-installing the wires. To disconnect the load, firmly grip the LOAD connector and pull to separate it from the main body of the Smart Connector. To re-connect, simply push the

LOAD connector into the corresponding port on the Smart Connector.

PROGRAMMING

Refer to the Audacy™ system configuration manual to associate smart connectors to other devices and to set up operating parameters for the Audacy™ lighting control system
