Page 3: Introduction
PhaseX is not the first ever powerline carrier technique in the CI market, but the reason it is able to deliver high perforamnce features and rock solid reliability lies directly in the gateway. The PhaseX Gateway provides a filtered AC output, which electrically isolates PhaseX fixtures from any potential interference that could come from standard household equipment, such as appliances, motors or other electronics. -

During setup, RDM packets can be used to query fixtures and assign fixtures to specific DMX channels. The DMX and RDM packets are forwarded on to the lighting fixtures over the power line using the PhaseX transmission protocol. Fixtures can be configured to use a specific DMX profile to suit the lighting control system’s capabilities and the system programmer’s preference. - Page 5 While in SETUP mode, basic PhaseX parameters may be changed such as the PhaseX Network Channel Fixtures PhaseX control is available in Artafex 2 and Artafex 4 LED modules.Artafex modules with PhaseX control are available as tunable white 1800-4000K in Downlight or Adjustable.

For new construction projects, multiple wire home runs may be used to simplify installation. Grouping fixtures by logical zones, such as by room or floor can help to segment the PhaseX system and allow for easier tracing in the case of any troubleshooting. - Page 7 When approaching retrofits of centralized dimming systems, take extra caution to abide by the PhaseX system rules, and ensure that all wire runs are terminated with a PhaseX fixture and that wire runs are not shared with other fixture types.

Page 8: Phasex Installation
PhaseX Installation Gateway One or more PhaseX Gateways may be mounted within a UL listed electrical enclosure measuring at least 8” x 8” x 4”. The Gateway mounts to standard DIN rail. Separate field wiring terminal blocks should be used to land field wiring and make connections to the Gateway. - Page 9 Wiring for a typical Gateway installation is shown below: From circuit breaker To fixtures AC IN AC OUT TEST SETUP SELECT MODE From DMX source From DMX source To next DMX device To next DMX device 250ft Romex 14/2 250ft Romex 14/2 Max 32 fixtures on a run Max 250 ft lemgth 250ft Romex 14/2...
- Page 10 Unterminated stubs, i.e. wire connections that do not have a fixture connected are not permitted. Operating the system with stubs present will affect system operation. • Only PhaseX fixtures may be connected to the output of a PhaseX Gateway. Connecting other equipment will affect system operation. No module installed at end of wire run.
- Page 11 Gateway Physical Installation Steps Mount Gateway to DIN Rail a. Use flat head screw driver to DIN rail release tab out. b. Place top of Gateway over the top of the DIN rail. c. Tilt bottom of Gateway over lower edge of DIN rail. Push DIN release tab in to lock Gateway to DIN rail.
- Page 12 3000K. Auto Setup & Initialization The Gateway communicates to the PhaseX fixtures using one of six frequency channels. By default, all Gateways and fixtures operate on Channel 1. The ideal communication channel depends on field conditions. Once all fixtures are connected, run the Auto Setup function to detect and set the best operating channel.

(0-100%) and CCT (1800K to 4000K). This profile should suit most standard installations. 2. Crestron Tunable White (2 DMX Slots) - This profile operates identically to the first profile (Tunable White), but is optimized for use with Crestron Home systems and treats PhaseX Modules as native Crestron Home devices. -
