MODELS
•
EMB-S2 (Uses external antenna)
•
EMB-S2-F (internal antenna)
CAUTION
EMB-S2 controllers must be installed in accordance
with national, state, and local electrical codes and
requirements
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Below are some recommendations for successful
dimming using the EMB-S2. The dimming control wires
are referenced as Dim+ and Dim-. The dimming
signals have a Maximum voltage of 10V DC.
•
Use multi-strand 18 Gauge Wire for noise
immunity and current capability
•
Do not ground the dimming wire; this is a
return signal and is critical for dimming
•
Route dimming wires away from AC lines if
possible
•
Use connections with properly sized
connectors
•
Eliminate excess wire between fixtures; Line
length will cause voltage drop
•
Maximum of 4 LED Drivers per controller,
consult Synapse Support if a greater ratio is
needed.
NEEDED MATERIAL
•
u.FL Insertion Tool:
Part Number U.FL-LP-IN
from Hirose Electric (for EMB-S2 only)
•
u.FL Extraction Tool:
Part number U.FL-LP-N-2
from Hirose Electric (for EMB-S2 only)
•
u.FL Connector and 14mm bulkhead:
A cable
with a u.FL connector on one end and a female
14mm bulkhead connector on the other end is
required to route the signal from the EMB-S2
through the fixture housing to an external
antenna.
•
Mounting Hardware:
(1) #4 and M3 screws and
standoff recommended
•
Antenna Kit:
For available antenna options please
refer to our latest documents located on our

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH:
TURN OFF POWER
AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE
AND VERIFY THAT POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING!
MOUNTING
Secure with 1 #4 screw (
max diameter of .312
inches)
and standoff.
1.
Mounting Options:
Mount in an LED Fixture or a
Troffer. For the EMB-S2, an external antenna
utilizing a u.FL connector must be used to provide
RF connectivity to the SNAP mesh network.
2.
Place the EMB-S2 in desired location and secure it
using #4 sized screw and stand-off using the
mounting hole located in the center of the board.
Prior to permanently mounting the EMB-S2, make
sure the antenna is free of any objects within 3 in.
of the internal or external antenna.
Note:
When installing the EMB-S2 into an enclosure,
consideration of the internal or external antenna
position and interference is required in order to provide
the most optimum wireless signal strength.
•
When installing the EMB-S2 into an enclosure,
consideration of the external antenna position and
interference is required in order to provide the
most optimum wireless signal strength. Prior to
permanently mounting it, make sure the antenna
points directly upward or downward and is free of
any metal objects within 12 in. of the antenna
(Figure 1).

TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH; TURN OFF POWER
AT CIRCUIT BREAKER
OR FUSE AND TEST THAT POWER IS OFF BEFORE INSTALLING!
•
PROPER GROUNDING REQUIRED TO AVOID STATIC DISCHARGE WHICH
CAN DAMAGE CONTROLLERS DURING INSTALLATION.
