Installing a SmartLighting Controller
When installing the SSL-P018 or SSL-P002 controller, place the controller in the same location as the legacy CCU
to support the module and the station/keypads. The Savant keypad links (SKL-1000 or SKL-4000) can be located up
to 330 feet away using 18 AWG wire-from a Savant SmartLighting controller (SSL-P018 or SSL-P002).
NOTE
: Cat 5/5e/6 cable with RJ-45s must replace existing module bus cable. If required, splice
the module bus cable to Cat 5/5e/6 cable for RJ-45 termination at the SSL-P002 or SSL-
P018 or new Savant transorb board.
SSL-P018 Rear Panel
NOTE
: All Cat 5/5e/6 cable connections use T568B termination.
The SmartLighting controller is either the SSL-P018 with four module connectors or the SSL-P002 with
one module connector for the Savant SmartLighting system. The controller provides control and
communication to Savant Lighting components, including the station connector to the SKL-1000 or
SKL-4000.
To connect the SSL-P018 or SSL-P002 to a module and a Savant keypad link, do the following.
1. Locate the two RJ-45 (Data Out and Data In) ports on the top of the transorb board in the module
enclosure.
2. Insert the RJ-45 connector of a Cat 5/5e/6 cable into the RJ-45 (Data Out) port on the left side in the
transorb board.
3. On the back of the SSL-P018 or the SSL-P002, connect the other end of RJ-45 terminated Cat 5/5e/6
cable to the
Mod-1
port (SSL-P018) or the
Module
port on the SSL-P002. If other enclosures are
required for use with the SSL-P018, they can be terminated to the other module ports:
Mod-2

Mod-3
and
Mod-4

LiteTouch Installation and Troubleshooting Manual
Plug a data cable into the five-pin connector on the transorb board, and
plug the other end into the DATA IN port on the first module.
2. Connect another data cable to the DATA OUT port on the first module
and to the DATA IN port on the second module.
3. Continue to connect a cable to the DATA OUT port of one module and
the DATA IN port of the next module until all control modules in the
enclosure are connected.

In large installations (more than eight enclosures), or when you have mul-

number of data homeruns to the CCU. While this helps to simplify the
wiring, you should be aware that an early circuit breaker failure in the

Description
The Savant SmartLighting Controller (SSL-P002) can be installed as
part of a complete package within Savant’s automation and control
ecosystem or as a part of a standalone lighting control system.
The Savant SmartLighting Controller provides control and
communication to Savant lighting control components, including 120
volt and 240 volt load and integration modules, as well as low voltage
keypads. Savant SmartLighting controllers are connected to modules
and keypads via RS-422 module and RS-232 station (keypad) bus
ports on the back of the controller. The Ethernet port, also located on
the back of the controller, allows for integration with third-party,
integrated sub-systems.
The controller can either be powered using Ethernet (PoE) or can be
powered with an external power supply. The controller can either be
rack mounted or wall mounted using side-mount brackets.
LiteWare
®
programming and design software, version 5.0 or higher, is
used to create a programming file (PRG) that is uploaded to the
controller prior to system start-up. For systems installed with Savant
control and automation components, RacePoint

Blueprint is used to
configure additional Savant Systems equipment and control via
Savant's award-winnning TrueControl™ app.
