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!
DIM10-220-F (Hardware with internal antenna) Bolt-on Installation
WARNING- For best RF performance and signal strength, do not mount this device inside a luminaire. Final installed
controller should also be mounted with open space on 2 or more sides.
1.
Remove the metal locknut from controller unit.
2.
Feed the wires through a standard
½
” knockout on a luminaire or junction box.
3.
Line up the controller with the
½
” knockout and make sure the
½
” NPT nipple is inserted completely.
4.
Place the metal lock nut over the wires. Thread the lock nut on the
½
” NPT nipple of the controller.
5.
Complete the wiring according to the wiring instructions and wiring diagram included in this guide on page 3.
DIM10-220 (Hardware with external antenna) Installation Option
There are two installation options for the DIM10-220.
•
Option A -
Inside a luminaire
•
Option B -
Inside a Light Pole
Note:
Both options will require external antenna installation.
Option A: Installation- Inside a Luminaire
Note: When handling the bulkhead connector, be careful not to touch the center pint to prevent static damage to the
radio.
1.
When removing the DIM-220 from the box, attach the 50 OHM Terminator to the RP-SMA female bulkhead connector on
the antenna cable.
This component will protect the RF circuitry from static damage.
2.
Locate a suitable location inside the luminaire to mount the controller using the included bracket. Be sure to choose an interior
surface and location that will not puncture the outer structure of the luminaire. Also keep in mind where the antenna will need to be
installed.
3.
Find a suitable location for the antenna and drill a 1/4” hole for the antenna cable bulkhead.
4.
Temporarily remove the 50 Ohm terminator. Remove the star washer and nut from the bulkhead. Insert the antenna cable
bulkhead through the 1/4” hole.
Be careful not to touch the center pin to prevent static damage to the radio
. Install the star
washer and nut provided. Hand tighten the nut plus an additional
¼
turn. Attach the 50 Ohm terminator shown in Figure 1. This
component will protect the RF circuitry from static damage.
5.
Complete the wiring according to the wiring instructions and wiring diagram included in the next section of this guide.
6.
When it is time to attach the antenna, touch a grounded surface, remove the 50 Ohm terminator and screw on the antenna hand
tight. Tighten a
¼
turn with a pair of needle nose pliers. Do not overtighten or the RF pin in the bulkhead will crack, creating poor
RF link quality.
7.
Orient antenna direction pointing straight up or straight down for maximum RF connectivity. See Figure 2.
Option B: Installation- Pole Hanging Option
Hanging pole kits are sold separately
