6. Connections Continued...
Only use DLM-4 Zone Controller cables
Connect the cable going from Zone 1 to the first ballast to be
connected. (Refer to image above)
Use the supplied “T” connector and short cable so that the first
cable can continue on to be connected to the next “T” (ballast)
to be connected. Repeat this process until all of the fixtures are
connected to the zone.
*NOTE: Repeat process for the other zones
to be used.
*NOTE: The temperature sensors can be connected ANYWHERE
within the zone communication wiring. Only (1) temperature sensor
can be connected per zone.
If the temperature probe receives direct HID light, it can cause
premature dimming and inaccurate (high) temperature readings.
When positioning the temperature probes, shield them from
exposure to direct light.
The communication cables should now be connected in a “daisy-
chain” configuration so that each ballast is looped / jumped to the
next ballast. All ballast and the temperature sensors should be
connected to the zones before continuing the installation.
Verify that all of the fixtures connected to the DLM-4 Zone
Controller have been set to operate using the External control. Turn
the selector switch on the side of each of the ballast to the correct
position to allow the DLM-4 Zone Controller to control the ballast.
*NOTE: If the ballast selector switch is NOT positioned to allow
External (DLM-4 Zone Controller) control, the ballast will function
manually, without control.
DO NOT CONNECT THE POWER CABLES ON THE BALLAST UNTIL
THE
DLM-4 ZONE ZONE WIRING AND SET-UP IS COMPLETE.
Once all of the zone cables are connected, you should now be able
to verify the temperature sensors are sending data back to the main
DLM-4 Zone Controller unit. Connect the DLM-4 Zone Controller
to power and confirm the temperature sensors are connected by
viewing the Zone Status screen. (After the unit starts, press the
Enter button to display the Zone Status screen)
The final step is to continue to choose the settings for the DLM-4
Zone Controller. The following section will explain how to customize
the DLM-4 Zone Controller Zone for your set-up.

*NOTE: The temperature sensor for each zone can be connected
ANYWHERE along the zone cabling. The same type cable splitter is
used to connect the temperature sensor inline with the ballast. The
signal from the temperature sensor communicates with the DLM-4
Zone Controller through the same cables that communicates with the
fixtures.
