Luma-Net Control Signal Installation Requirements
For i Series e dimmer racks which require the termination of a Luma-Net control run, follow
these instructions.
Connection
The Luma-Net link connects to the backplane of the rack on
TB1 as follows:
Signal
Luma -Net 3
Terminal
Rem +
Rem -
Common
+V
Although most Luma-Net phoenix style connectors have six
terminals, there is no terminal 5 nor terminal 6 connection at
the dimmer rack. Terminal 6 which is used for the hardware
lock feature has no use at the dimmer rack and the
"terminate" feature which is handled by terminal 5 is
handled by the termination jumper.
Termination
If the rack is at the end of the run, Jumper JP2 (Rackcom Termin.) must be installed in the
backplane to terminate the run. The jumper is shipped installed by factory default.
Now the dimmer rack is capable of receiving and processing Luma-Net commands.
Special Installation Requirements for HiLume Dimming Circuits
The HILUME feature is only usable in i Series e. This
style of fluorescent dimming ballast requires (3) wires, (1)
switched, (1) dimmed, and (1) neutral. To accommodate
these requirements, the software will couple the odd-
numbered dimmer with the next even-numbered dimmer.
The odd-numbered dimmer is the variable component and
the even-numbered dimmer is the switched component.
The breakers for these dimmers must be tied together with
the CTP-4-0307 fluorescent handle-tie kit and the rack
slot labeled. Installation instructions for this are included
with the kit.
The odd/even breakers in the i Series Quad are not below each other so they cannot be tied
together; therefore, HILUME is not a quad feature. When the HILUME feature couples the
dimmers the second address is dropped unless the subsequent addresses are moved up dimmer by
dimmer. For this reason it is a good idea to put the HILUME dimmers at the end.
