Mounting Instructions - Niko 550-00003 Manual

Mounting instructions

Each installation must consist of one connected controller.
Follow the steps below to mount the connected controller:
• Ensure that the installation is disconnected from the mains.
1 Click the controller onto the DIN rail, ideally at the bottom left in the Niko Home Control part of the electrical cabinet.
2 Now mount the other modules onto the rail, from left to right. Do not place any dimming modules immediately next to,
above or below the controller. When there is no room left on the rail or the maximum number of 12 devices per rail has
been reached, you simply continue on the rail above. Each following rail must start at the left with a rail coupler or an
extra power supply if required (see
3 Connect the connected controller with the module, placed next to it by sliding the sliding contact of the controller to
the right until it clicks. This will ensure that the bus and the power supply voltage are connected.
4 Connect the network cable to the WAN gateway of the connected controller and connect it with the internet modem or
router of the resident. Use a shielded network cable, preferably a STP network cable, and keep it separate from 230 V
cables to avoid crosstalk. Run the network cable alongside the SELV cables, for instance. The resident must ensure
that the network is secure.
5 Connect the Niko Home Control IP devices of the installation such as the touchscreens and/or external video units to
the other three ports. If you have to connect more than three IP devices, you can use an Ethernet switch (no router!).
6 Connect the L phase wire and the N neutral wire to the L and N screw terminals respectively and switch on the mains
supply.
Remember to give the resident the information listed on the sticker or to place the sticker in a clearly visible
location on the connected controller or inside the electrical cabinet. The sticker includes the MAC address and
serial number (SN) of the connected controller. The resident needs this information to register via

Power supply dimensioning
Depending on the size and the structure of the installation, up to two extra power supplies are installed next to the built-in
power supply in the connected controller. As a rule of thumb to determine if you need additional power, you can use the
following quick check: The power supply built into the controller can be up to 24 cabinet modules and 70 controls (of
which 20 with indication LED). For larger installations, consult the point calculation, see
17. Each control and module consumes a specific amount of energy. This consumption is expressed in points. An
additional power supply is necessary as of 800 points.
Check the status of the installation
Using the indication LEDs on the controller
If the Niko Home Control installation functions normally, only the SERVER LED is illuminated on the connected controller.
The remaining LEDs are not lit, to help save energy.
If an error occurs, simply switch the installation to TEST mode to check the status of the modules. First press the TEST
button on the controller to switch the installation to TEST mode. The STATUS LEDS indicate the status of each module and
each output. The TEST mode remains active for two minutes.
