Addressable Ethernet Lighting System #
The ILC Lighting System is an addressable ethernet network of centralized / distributed panels and devices. Standard CAT5 / CAT5E cabling can be used. Connect panels and devices with tested ethernet cables / terminations and address each device as shown on the one-line riser provided for this project. 18 AWG required for low voltage occupancy and photosensor connections. This must be completed before scheduling startup, and any alterations to the system and addressing needs to be documented and provided ahead of the appointment.
Communication Wiring #
Ensure that all high voltage and Class-2 low voltage wiring remains separated by a minimum distance of 1 foot and is installed per NEC code.
Dimming, 0-10v #
Verify all areas that require dimming. Dimmed zones will require 0-10v wiring to run between all fixtures back to the panel dimming card or EVO/R20D. See project specific plans and wiring diagrams for more information.
Dimming, ELV-MLV #
Additional dimming modules are required when controlling ELV-MLV fixtures. A PD-216, LDCM, or LR01 dimming module will be installed between the ILC panel and the fixture(s) to convert 0-10v dimming to line volt dimming. Wiring diagrams are included with the Controls plans.
Occupancy Sensors #
Install ceiling occupancy sensors 4-6 feet away from air supply vents. Locations of devices shown on plans are just a graphical representation. All wired sensors will need to be configured with correct timeout and sensitivity adjusted and is the responsibility of the Electrical Contractor. DO NOT leave occupancy sensors in factory default Auto mode.
Documentation / Maintenance #
Document all relays, dimming outputs, and additional device inputs being used for controlled zones. For any future maintenance, it is best practice to label field devices for what they are controlling and create an accurate as-built of device locations for future troubleshooting.
ILC panels all have a manual override for All ON, All OFF, and run standard program mode. Refer to the specification sheet / install instructions for the override location.
