INSTALLATION Terminal connections Each module has a wiring diagram on the front which can help the installer when connecting the modules at installation sites. 39 40 No. Description No. Description No. Description 14. - 27. Input 1 15. GND 28. Input 2 16. -
Page 7: Wiring
Wiring An example wiring diagram where two RGB and a single colour LED strips are controlled is shown in figure 3. In this example all the LED strips and the module are powered by separate power supplies. You can use the same power supply if you use same voltage LED strips and if it can supply enough power for all the LEDs and the module. - Page 8 Inputs: A pair of low or high voltage cables. The inputs use low voltage signals. Power requirements The module must be powered through terminals 42 and 43. by 10V - 36V DC In case the local inputs are used the inputs must also be powered by 10V - 36V DC across terminals 40-41.

Page 9: Status Led Indicators
Each input has a dedicated status LED that illuminates solid green when the corresponding input is activated. MCU live LED When on, indicates that the FNIP-12xPWM unit is running. Input power LED When on, indicates that the input power is present. - Page 10 Communication LEDs Con LED - green The Con LED is on when the module is connected to the Ethernet network. Act LED - yellow It indicates that communication via Ethernet is in progress. St LED - red It is illuminated while the boot loader is active and it is blinking during a firmware upload procedure.

Page 14: Users And User Rights
Users and user rights Three different users can be defined each with three different user rights: admin, actor and observer. Admins have access to all functions, including control of the outputs, monitoring the status of the inputs and outputs and changing all the settings. Actors are allowed to control the outputs and monitor the status of the inputs and the outputs, but are not allowed to change any settings. -
Page 15: Channel Settings
Channel settings On the Channel page the outputs and inputs can be renamed. Operation and input modes can also be chosen here. The input mode determines the logical connection between the input and the output of the same channel. For details on possible Error! Reference source not found. -
Page 16: Dim Settings
Output 1,2,3 – individual outputs or R1,G1,B1 Output 4,5,6 – individual outputs or R2,G2,B2 Output 7,8,9 – individual outputs or R3,G3,B3 Output 10,11,12 – individual outputs or R4,G4,B4 or W1,W2,W3 where W1,W2,W3 are the white channels of RGB LEDs on outputs 1,2,3 4,5,6, 7,8,9 respectively if RGBW LED strips are used. - Page 17 Minimum level: Some load types cannot be dimmed down all the way to zero. They cut off at some point and show some strange behavior (flickering or pulsing) below that dim level. Light bulbs also need a minimum dim level to produce visible light. Setting the minimum level slightly above these cut-off points makes these loads dimmable all the way down more smoothly.

Page 18: Scenes
Scenes Scenes are predefined states of the outputs on the module. FNIP scenes can be used in standalone applications without any third-party controller. FNIP modules (module groups) support 9 scenes. If a module receives a Scene Activation Command (SAC), the designated outputs will go to the defined state. -

Page 20: Operation
OPERATION Operation via local inputs The inputs can be activated by shorting or opening (depending on the settings of the Channel Settings) an input terminal and the input common terminal. Throughout this section it is assumed that momentary switches are connected to the local inputs. -
Page 21: Input Modes
Input modes The inputs are factory defaulted to toggle mode and can be changed via the web interface or by TCP/IP commands. The input modes work as follows. 1. Independent inputs Inputs can be detached from their corresponding outputs, in which case they will have no direct effect on them. -
Page 22: Scene No
6. Scene on open mode If an input gets opened the Scene Activation Command assigned to the input on the channel configuration page will be executed. 7. Scene on close mode If an input gets closed the Scene Activation Command assigned to the input on the channel configuration page will be executed. -
Page 23: Operation Via The Built-In Web Server
Operation via the built-in web server Control page Single colour mode The outputs can be controlled on this page. Clicking the Channel icon will toggle, moving the slider will dim the outputs. A grey status icon means that the output is off. - Page 24 RGB and RGBW modes In this figure the first three channels are in RGB mode, while channels 7, 8, 9, 12 are in RGBW mode. You can adjust the colours by dragging the R,G,B sliders, or by using the colour picker.
