Basic SystemOverview
Control4 Panelized Lighting Overview Residential & Commercial 110V to 277V Worldwide voltages Residential & Commercial Ethernet-Based Use Keypads to Control Lights Use On-Screen TV, Touch Screens, andMobile Devices to Control Lights DIN Rail Form Factor mounting1/27/2015 2013 Control4 Corporation
What is “DIN Rail”? DIN is an internationalstandards body– Deutsches Institut fürNormung DIN standards 43-880and 46277-3 define a setof specifications for railsand devices to mount onthose rails “DIN Rail” is really just amounting mechanism1/27/2015 2013 Control4 Corporation
Why Did We Choose DIN Rail? Wanted to create a global product DIN rail products and panels are very commonoutside of North America– Customers are very familiar with how to install them– Off-the-shelf panels are readily available With just a few adaptations, we were able tomake the system equally applicable to NorthAmerican markets– High-voltage/low-voltage separation on modules– Higher maximum wattage ratings– Panels designed specifically for North America1/27/2015 2013 Control4 Corporation
System Design System Design is done in Composer– All the same capabilities as existing lightingplus some new features New light proxy Load groups – treat multiple loads as asingle load Advanced Scene Control– Toggle scenes, track scene state,ramp & fade scenes, add delaysto scenes, flash lightsNote: Be sure to watch the Advanced Lighting Scene training module on Control4 University1/27/2015 2013 Control4 Corporation
What If The Network or Controller Is Down? Three different ways that lights can still becontrolled:– Failover behavior for wired keypads– Remote overrides from hidden switch– Local overrides on the modules1/27/2015 2013 Control4 Corporation

8 Channel0-10V Dimmer
0-10V Dimming Basics Has been a common dimmingmethod for fluorescentballasts for years Rapid increase in LEDs thatuse 0-10V dimming 0-10V is just an analog controlsignalBallast– The ballast or LED driverinterprets the 0-10V controlsignal and performs the dimming0-10V LEDIncreasing1/27/2015 2013 Control4 Corporation
0-10V Dimming Basics While a standard exists, it’s often ignored– Control voltage varies 1-10V (standard)0-10V10-0V10-1V– Sink/source current not always followed Standard says that the ballast/driver should be thecurrent source and the control device should be thecurrent sink. Specs for the ballast/driver should be checkedbefore installation – check with electrician. Affects the number of ballasts/drivers that can becontrolled as one group.LED Driver Separate on/off control frequently required– Almost all fluorescent ballasts, some LEDs– 0V corresponds to minimum dimmed level –not off– Switch line voltage to turn on/off1/27/2015 2013 Control4 CorporationFluorescentBallast
8-Channel 0-10V Dimmer Features Input: 110V to 277V, 50/60Hz Controls up to eight 0-10V or 110V fluorescent ballasts andLEDs––100mA per channel current sink ( 50ballasts)25mA per channel current source ( 12ballasts) Dry contacts for triggeringexternal relays for on/off control(e.g. Leviton Power Pack Relay –commonly used with Motion Sensors)– Can also use Control4 RelayModule for on/off control.

8 Channel 0-10V Dimmer On/Off Control– Some loads don’t require separate on/off control– LED Driver or ballast handles automatically1/27/2015 2013 Control4 Corporation
8 Channel 0-10V Dimmer Two options when separate on/off control is required– Use Control4 Relay Module– Use external relay (e.g. Leviton Power Pack) connected to externalrelay terminal on 0-10V module.1/27/2015 2013 Control4 Corporation
External Relay vs. Control4 Relay External RelayAdvantages– Lower cost– Works without Controller External RelayDisadvantages– Electrician must find aplace to install and wire theexternal relay1/27/2015 2013 Control4 Corporation
External Relay vs. Control4 Relay Control4 RelayAdvantages– Simplified Wiring – wire incabinet with everythingelse– Provides energymeasurement of the load Control4 RelayDisadvantages– Higher cost1/27/2015 2013 Control4 Corporation
8-Channel 0-10V Dimmer – Load Types 0-10V and 1-10V fluorescentballasts and LED drivers Sink or Source– The 0-10V standard defines theballast/driver as the source andthe control device as the sinkbut not every ballast/driverconforms to that standard.1/27/2015 2013 Control4 Corporation

Panel FamilyPanelsTerminal Blocks1/27/2015 2013 Control4 Corporation
Terminal Blocks Used for terminating wiring in the panel from thecircuit breaker to the modules Different terminal block for each module type– Each module type requires different wiringconfigurations.– Comes as a complete assembly alreadymounted on the rail. Sold separately– Purchased at rough-in(C4-DIN-TB-8DIM)Used with Control4 8-Channel Dimmer(C4-DIN-TB-8REL)Used with Control4 8-Channel Relay Similar blocks used in Crestron & Lutron panels soelectricians are familiar with them. Built-in jumpers between line-ins and loads allowloads to be turned on/off using the breaker prior toinstalling modules.1/27/2015 2013 Control4 Corporation(C4-DIN-TB-PO)Used with 0-10V Dimmer,Ethernet Switch and Bus Power Supply
Why Wire to a Terminal Block? It gives the electrician a place toterminate the wires during the rough-in It jumpers the neutrals together.Without the terminal blocks, this has tobe done with wire nuts, which can bevery messy. The jumpers between the hot and loadallow the electrician to test their wiringand ensure that there are no shortcircuits prior to connecting anexpensive module.– Damage due to shorts are not coveredunder warranty. It allows the lights to be turned onduring construction simply by flippingon the breaker.1/27/2015 2013 Control4 Corporation
Panels (2 Slot & 5 Slot) Flush mounts in a standard 16” on center stud bay– Can also be surface mounted Two versions– Large – 5 slots (65” high)– Small – 2 slots (35” high) Allow all field wiring to be terminated at rough-in toterminal blocks Modules can be mounted and wired to terminal blocksduring trim-out phase1/27/2015 2013 Control4 Corporation
Panels – Features Modules protrude through front cover toallow easy access to buttons & LEDs Remove front cover for access to wiring Plenty of room at top and bottom for wires Pivoting high-voltage / low-voltage (Class 1/ Class 2) divider plate provides maximumuse of knockouts Tie-backs on sides for cable management1/27/2015 2013 Control4 Corporation

Wired Keypad Failover Behavior Works even if both the Controller andthe network router are offline – as longas the network switch is functional. Can define in Composer a failoverbehavior for any button on a wiredkeypad.– Control a single light or multiple lights Control module listens and activatesthe lights for all keypad button pressesif the Controller doesn’t respond in atimely fashion.1/27/2015 2013 Control4 Corporation
Wired Keypad Failover Behavior While multiple lights can be controlledfrom a single button, actual lightingscenes can no be activated as theyrequire Director. In Failover Mode, any one button canonly turn on or off lights. They can’ttoggle lights. Each light can only be controlled byone keypad in failover mode. Threeway’s won’t work.1/27/2015 2013 Control4 Corporation

Bus Cable Recommendation Recommended cable types:– Common control system cables such as Belden 1502R or1502P. 18 gauge pair for power 22 or 24 gauge twisted pair for data– Cat5e or Cat6 is not recommended. Installation experience canbe poor and can be hard to diagnose when problems arise. It’s also a good practice to use a loopback cable as aprecaution in case the cable in the wall gets damaged– Note: The loopback cable does not get connected to anythingunless it is needed.1/27/2015 2013 Control4 Corporation
