1 Installation Instructions DLCSS-x ezdali Group & Scene Controller Installation and Operation The DLCSS-x Group & Scene Controller is one component in an ezdali System. It provides a simple tool for grouping the DALI ballasts in a room or zone and manually turning on, off or dimming each group to create a preferred scene or preset. It also provides the means to memorize the preferred lighting scenes. Automatic OFF, in compliance with energy codes, can be achieved through an occupancy sensor input to the system. The DLCSS-x controls up to ballast groups and lighting scenes. The x suffix in the catalog number refers to button and switchplate color: 2 = ivory, = almond, 7 = white and 9 = grey. A complete ezdali system includes the following: 1. Group Controller (DLC) or Group & Scene Controller (DLCSS) 2. Power Supply (DPS series) 3. Lighting fixtures equipped with DALI ballasts Optional components in the system are: GROUP BUTTONS MASTER BUTTON SCENE BUTTONS. Remote Scene Switch (DSS) for use with Group & Scene Controller (DLCSS) 5. Relay Module (DRM) to control non-dali fixtures 6. Occupancy Sensor(s) Features Dimming plus ON/OFF control of up to four lighting groups Logarithmic dimming curves: 1% dimming for linear fluorescents, 3% for compacts Easily create and modify lighting scenes without rewiring and without the use of a PC or special tools Occupancy sensor for automatic OFF No complex commissioning 2-conductor, Class 2 communications, FCC approved for commercial/industrial applications Impact-resistant Lexan construction with screwless wallplate and removable button covers for labeling Operation The Group & Scene Controller is the source of all commands to the ballasts. Each of the DALI ballasts in the room is assigned to one of the four Group buttons. That group can then be raised or lowered by pressing and holding the Group button. This allows the user to created a preferred operating scene for each lighting group. For the Controller to memorize the scene, the user simply presses and holds one of the four Scene buttons, similar to memorizing a station on a car radio. The Master button will toggle between the last scene and OFF for normal daily operation. The Group & Scene Controller also provides enhanced occupancy sensor operation. When the Controller receives a message that the room is occupied, the lighting will turn on to the last scene selected by the user. When the room becomes unoccupied, the Controller lowers the lighting for 5 minutes, and then turns it off. If the occupancy sensor detects motion during this 5-minute warning, the Controller returns the lights to the last scene activated by the user. Before starting, read the instructions on the next four pages. If you have any questions, call our Service Team at: WARNING Use only rapid-start sockets. Instant-start sockets shall not be used. Instant-start sockets short out the pins of the lamps, so the ballast cannot provide supplemental heat to the filaments. Santa Clara, CA The Watt Stopper, Inc.

FOR ILLUSTATION PURPOSES ONLY. WARNING This installation assumes the ezdali Power Supply has been properly installed according to the instructions accompanying that device. If not, turn off power at the circuit breaker and follow the directions for installing the Power Supply before installing the Controller. Wire in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local electrical codes. Install Wall Box and Run Class 2 Wiring Install a two-gang wall box at the desired location. Run Class 2 wiring between the wall box and the DPS Power Supply as shown in Figure 1. We recommend plenum-rated 2-conductor stranded wire with jacket, #18 AWG minimum. Wire the Controller Remove the screwless cover plate by pressing the black tab at the bottom edge of the plate and lifting the plate up and off. Connect the purple leads on the back of the Controller to the conductors in the wall box as shown in Figure 1. (Note: The DALI bus is not polarity sensitive.) Mount the Controller in the wall box, but do not replace the cover plate until the testing and commissioning are completed. Power up and Test Restore power if it had been turned off prior to installation. Press the Controller s top right button. All fixtures should go to 100%. Repeat with the second right button. The lighting should go to 75%. Pressing the Master button will turn the lights off. Commission the System Initialize Swing open the Master button to reveal the Programming buttons. Initialize the Controller by pressing and holding the button for five seconds. The button LEDs will sequence while the Controller addresses the ballasts as follows: 1. First, the Controller sends an OFF message to all ballasts. 2. Then, one by one, each ballast will turn its associated lights on, as the Controller assigns its short address (0-63). When complete, all of the ballasts in the room will be ON at their maximum level. Create Groups For the purpose of these instructions we are using the office lighting plan shown in Figure 2. There are four linear fluorescent fixtures and seven wall wash fixtures 2

3 in the room. Ballasts are numbered as shown (numbers are for reference only). Ballasts will be grouped as follows: Ballasts #1 and 10 will be in Group A (General Lighting West), ballasts #6 and 9 in Group B (General Lighting East), ballasts #2, 3, 5 and 7 in Group C (Whiteboard Lighting), and ballasts #0, and 8 will be in Group D (Art Lighting). 1 Begin by pressing and releasing the button. Ballast #0 will turn on at maximum. All others will turn off. Press the Group D (Art Lighting) button to assign that ballast to that lighting group. The Group D LED will begin flashing. To remove the ballast from that group, press the Group D button again, or simply press the desired Group button. A ballast may be assigned to only one group. 2 Press and release the button again and ballast #1 will turn on. Assign it to Group A (General Lighting West) by pressing that Group button. Repeat for each remaining ballast. 3 After assigning all ballasts to groups, press the button to save. All Group LEDs will turn on steady and all lights will turn on at maximum. Test the System Press and release each Group button several times. The Group LED and all of the ballasts in that lighting group will toggle ON/OFF. Press and hold any Group button and the lighting group will ramp up. Press and hold again, and the group will ramp down. Setting Maximum Levels The button sets maximum light levels for each group. This function is useful for setting light levels appropriate for the work space or function, as well as for energy conservation. 1 Begin by pressing and releasing the button. All lighting will go to 100% and the and Group LEDs will begin flashing. 2 Adjust the lighting level of each group by pressing and holding the Group button (similar to creating a scene). 3 When the desired maximum light level for each group has been reached, Figure 2 Create Groups GROUP A GROUP B GROUP C GROUP D SCENE 1 SCENE 2 SCENE 3 SCENE SCREEN Group C 10 Group A 1 6 Group B Group A General Lighting West (Ballasts #1 and 10) Group B General Lighting East (Ballasts #6 and 9) Group C Whiteboard Lighting (Ballasts #2, 3, 5 and 7) Group D Art Lighting (Ballasts #0, and 8) PRESS BUTTON.

4 Create Scenes 1 Adjust the lighting levels of each group by pressing and holding the Group button to ramp the lighting up or down. Releasing the button stops the ramping. Pressing and holding again reverses the direction. A group may be turned ON or OFF by pressing and immediately releasing the Group button. Each Group LED will indicate the ON/OFF status of that group. 2 When the desired light level for each group has been reached, press and hold the Scene button. The Scene LED will turn on indicating the scene has been memorized. Scene 1 in the example shown in Figure is set for audio/visual presentations. 3 Repeat for additional scenes. Labeling the Buttons The individual Group and Scene buttons provide space for 3 8" x " directory labels. The labels can be attached by removing the clear lens, positioning the label and replacing the lens as shown below on a DLC-x Group Controller. If desired, the buttons may be completely removed from the base and labeled separately. This method allows better alignment of the labels. To remove a button from the base, simply pry it off the retainer. Replace the button by snapping it back into the retainer.

If the fixtures do not turn on when power is first applied, check the lamps. Then check for power to the fixtures. Confirm that ballast wiring to lamp sockets conforms to the wiring diagram on the ballast. Check that the lamp socket pins are not shorted (Remove the lamps and disconnect the socket wires. Measure the resistance across the contacts.) If the fixtures turn on when power is cycled, but do not respond to the Controller, first check for power to the Controller by observing the Locator light on the bottom bezel. If it is lit, the Controller is receiving power. Check the voltage output of the Power Supply. First, disconnect the data bus at the Power Supply and measure the DC voltage of the Power Supply output to the data bus. It should be 1-16 VDC. Repeat with the bus plugged in. The voltage should not change. If it does, isolate the open or short. SCREEN Group C 10 ADJUST LIGHTING LEVELS OF EACH GROUP BY PRESSING AND HOLDING GROUP BUTTON TO RAMP LIGHTS UP OR DOWN.

If not, check that the Power Supply LED is on steady (GREEN indicates the occupancy sensor is in occupied mode; RED, unoccupied). If not, check power to the Power Supply. If the Power Supply LED is flashing RED, the connection between the Controller and Power Supply is shorted. Turn off power and isolate the short. If the LED is flashing GREEN, the DALI bus to the fixtures is shorted. Turn off power and isolate the short. One fixture is not responding. Check for an open circuit between the ballast and the DALI bus. Check that the ballast has been programmed into the desired group: - Remove the wall plate and open the Master button. - Press. Ballast #0 will turn on at 100% and the LED for the group to which it was assigned will begin flashing. - Continue to press until you reach the fixture that is not responding. - Press the appropriate Group button to add it to that group.
