Important Safeguards
Read the Instructions
– We recommend that you read
this document prior to commencement of installation. Do
not energize the DMC until all steps of the installation
procedure on page 6 are complete.
Installation of the home and building automation and
control system shall comply with HD60364-4-41 where
applicable.
Special Programming
– Once assembled, powered
and terminated correctly, this device will operate in basic
mode. A new Philips Dynalite user interface on the same
network will turn all output lighting channels on from
button 1 and off from button 4 allowing testing of network
cables and terminations. Advanced functions and custom
presets can then be configured via the EnvisionProject
commissioning software.
If commissioning services are required, contact your local
distributor for details.
High Voltage Insulation Test
– Do not Megger test any
circuitry connected to the dimming system, as damage to
the electronics may result.
Power Sources
– This device should only be operated
from the type of supply specified on installed modules.
This device
must
be earthed.
Mounting Location –
This device must be mounted
upright on a vertical surface (refer to page 4 for mounting
instructions), with a minimum clearance of 200mm on
all
sides of the front cover.
Install in a dry, well-ventilated location.
Controllers may emit some audible noise such as
humming or relay chatter. Take this into account when
deciding the mounting location.
Data Cable
– The recommended cable for connections
to the serial port is screened stranded RS485 compatible
CAT-5E data cable with three twisted pairs. Refer to the
installation instructions for the communication module for
more cabling information. This cable must be segregated
from mains and Class 1 cables as per local electrical
code. If anticipated cable runs are over 600 meters for
serial cables, consult your dealer for advice. Do not cut or
terminate live data cables.
Manual Override Keypad
– The Manual Override Keypad
does not provide permanent isolation. Isolate at the supply
before performing work on load circuits.
