Control Stations can be located up to 2000 ft. from
the dimming cabinet. L u m a - N e t ® is wired Daisy
Chained, station to station. For applications where
runs become too long, or a star configuration is
desired, a H u b c a n b e u s e d .
The cable should not pass near any source of electri-
cal noise such as fluorescent circuits or motor wiring.
Avoid close proximity to any AC wiring
All control/power wiring must be in conduit.
L u m a - N e t ® W i r e R e c o m m e n d a t i o n s
1. Use RS485 compatible cable for communications.
It is recommended that a cable with 2 Twisted Pair,
24 AWG (min.), stranded conductors be used. The
spare pair is for future uses.
2. Capacitance of wire shall be 15pF/ft. or less.
3. Normal Impedance of wire shall be between 100-
120 ohms.
4. Drain/Shields to be tied together, insulated and
grounded at one point only.
We strongly recommend the use of either Belden
9829, Belden 8102 or Belden 9729 for the L u m a -
N e t ® w i r e r u n s .
5. A second pair of stranded wire is required for the
power.

W a r n i n g s
1. To be installed and/or used in accordance with
appropriate electrical codes and regulations.
2. To be installed by a qualified Electrician.
3. DO NOT CONNECT line voltage wires to low volt-
age terminals.
4. For the best lamp life, lamp manufacturers recom-
mend their fluorescent lamps should be operated at
full brightness for a minimum of 100 hours before dim-
ming is permitted. For best results, lamp brands and
types should not be intermixed on a circuit.
5. Disconnect power when servicing the relay, switch,
dimmer, fixture or when changing lamps.
6. Indoor use only.
7. TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK OR DEATH: TURN OFF
POWER AT MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE
AND TEST THAT THE POWER IS OFF BEFORE
WIRING!

Follow these recommendations:
1. Plan the system before beginning the installation.
2. Terminate the wiring.
3. Test the wiring.
4. Connect relay cabinets.
5. Check Voltages.
6. Power up the Stations.
7. Program each Station.
Assign unique network ID numbers to stations.
Check the proper operation of each station as it is
installed when multiple stations are involved.
8. Install all Stations.
Note: If the lighting control fails or becomes sporadic,
first check the wiring or network ID.

Wire the Phoenix/Luma-Net Connector
1. Connect leads per wiring diagram as illustrated on page
7 and 8.
2. Twist strands of each lead tightly (making sure that
there are no stray strands) and push firmly into appropri-
ate plug connector location.
3. Tighten the screws on the plug connector-making sure
that no bare conductor is showing.
4. Tie the Drain/Shield wires together and insulate using a
small piece of heat shrink tubing.
5. Install termination jumpers as required. Remember a
termination jumper is required at the two ends of the
Luma-Net® run.
