Terminology Used in this Guide

This guide uses standard terminology to describe the various aspects of equipment and operation. This brief section

provides an overview of certain terms.

Source Controller

A cabinet containing power dimming and/or switch­ing circuitry to which lighting (or other) loads are
directly connected.

Control Panel

A compact fold out console which is contained
within the front panel door of the SC-UN Source

Controller. The control panel has an LCD screen
and a keypad, and permits many conguration set­tings to be made to the SC-UN Source Controller.

Output

An Output is physical circuit where electrical loads
are connected and controlled. SC-UN Source

Controllers can have between six and twenty four

separate Outputs, depending on the model.

All SC-UN Outputs can be congured to dim or

switch high voltage loads and can also provide low

voltage dimming control signals where required.

Each Output within the SC-UN Source Controller

has a physical number which cannot be altered.

Zone

A Zone is a virtual representation of one or more

Outputs. For instance, a room might contain three

lights, each of which is connected to a separate

Output on the Source Controller. If all three lights
need to be switched On or dimmed in the same
way, then it makes sense to represent them all as a

single Zone.

The Outputs represented by a Zone do not need to
be within the same Source Controller, they could
be spread across any number of different Source

Controllers.

Once the Outputs are represented by a Zone, the
physical number related to each Output is only of

relevance within the Source Controller that contains
it. To all other devices, the Zone is the only item of
interest.

Scene

A Scene is a collection of settings for any number of
Zones. They are the equivalent of cues in theatrical

lighting.

For example, a hotel restaurant has breakfast, lunch

and evening sittings. There are four Zones: Ceiling

spots, wall washers, chandeliers and table lights.

The manager wants to create a different mood for

each sitting. Rather than adjusting each of the

four Zones individually every time, you can collect
different dimming levels for the channels into three
separate Scenes (one for each sitting) and apply

each to a different button on the wallstation.

Changing between the sittings becomes simple and
consistent thanks to easy Scene selection.

Area

An Area is a collection of one or more Zones that
might have related operations. The most common

example for an Area would be a single room.
Imagine a restaurant with three zones: main ceiling
lighting, worktop task lights and a pendant lamp
over the table. The room has two wallstations.

By grouping the three Zones into a single Area, it

becomes straightforward to allow each wallstation
to adjust any of the Zones within the room.

Contact Closure Input

Each Source Controller has two volt-free contacts

which can be used to accept inputs from external
devices like re and intruder alarms so that lighting
can be automatically taken to a predetermined level
to assist with visibility.

Source Type

There are many different technologies that are used

in today’s buildings to create light. Incandescent,
Fluorescent (dimmable and non-dimmable), LED,

Neon/Cold Cathode, MLV - Magnetic Low Voltage,
and ELV - Electronic Low Voltage are examples of
source types.

P5

Wallstation

A wall mounted User Interface with either physical
buttons or a touchscreen that allows occupants of
a room to adjust lighting levels or controlling other
devices like A/V equipment or shades.

Device

Any iLumin equipment. For example, an Ineo is a
Device. A Source Controller is also a Device.

Node

Any iLumin Device connected to the iCAN network.
For example, Source Controllers, Ineo’s and Revio’s
connected to the iCAN network are Nodes.

Segment

Devices connected together on the iCAN network

in a daisy chain. Each Segment is terminated with

120-ohm resistors at both ends of the daisy chain.

A Segment can contain up to 100 Nodes.

Objective: To identify the layout of the CAN network (also known as iCANnet) and connect the SC-UN Source
Controller (and other devices) to it. Verify the electrical characteristics of the network and terminate the end devices.

To identify the CAN network wiring layout

1. Use the installation plans to determine the layout of

the installed CAN network.

2. Determine where the SC-UN Source Controller(s) are
connected in the CAN network. In particular, identify

the devices that are located at either end of the CAN

network segment - these are the devices that must be

terminated.

General CAN network requirements

The CAN network requires devices to be linked to­gether in a daisy-chain arrangement. A single run of
daisy-chained devices is called a Segment.

CAN network wiring

To wire all devices to the CAN network

1. Open the main panel door.

2. Remove the small access hatch cover located at the

base of the central panel by removing the four retain­ing screws.

3. If not already done, feed the CAN network cable(s) via
one of the four base knockouts through to the control
board area.

Note: There should be two CAN network cables un-
less the SC-UN Source Controller is at the end of the
network segment, in which case there will only be one
cable.

IMPORTANT: Keep all low voltage control wiring sepa­rate from high voltage power cabling to ensure safety
and noise immunity.

4. Connect the CAN network cable(s) to the iCAN
connector(s) on the control board according to the

following pin-outs:

Un-terminated device

Terminated device

There are three main constraints for a CAN network

segment:

• The combined cable lengths of the segment may

not exceed 3280 feet (1000 meters), and

• No more than 100 devices or nodes may be con-

nected within a single segment.

• Terminate the devices at each end of the segment

with a 120- ohm resistor. Leave the remaining
devices on the segment un-terminated.

Where more than 100 devices or excessive overall
cable lengths are required, it is necessary to use a
Bridge device to link two or more segments together.
Contact Cooper Lighting Solutions for details about
bridge devices.

5. Connect all other remaining devices to the CAN

network according to the installation plans and the
specic instructions for each device.

P12

To terminate end devices

iCAN

TERM

TERM

1. Locate the iCAN termination jumper on the control
board of the SC-UN Source Controller. It is next to one

of the two iCAN connectors.

2. Set the jumper according to the position of the SC-UN
Source Controller within the CAN network layout:

• If the SC-UN is one of the end devices, set the

jumper to the ‘iCAN TERM’ position.

• If the SC-UN is NOT one of the end devices in the

network, set the link to the other end of the jumper
block.

3. Check all remaining devices to ensure that only the

end devices are terminated.

Note: Some devices use jumper links (like the SC­UN) for termination control, others require a 120 Ohm
resistor to be placed between the CAN-L and CAN-H
connections. Check the documentation for each de­vice.

4. Replace the small access hatch cover and secure with
the four screws removed earlier.

P13

Step 2: Visually inspect all wiring and components and Power up the Source
Controller

Objective: To verify proper wiring and mounting.

To ensure the Source Controller is powered
down

For SC-UN

1. Locate the main breaker that feeds the Source Con­troller.

2. Turn off the main breaker.

For SC-UN-FT

1. Locate the breaker that feeds the main power supply.

2. Turn off the power supply breaker.

3. Locate each breaker that feeds the dimmer cards.

4. Turn off each breaker that feeds the dimmer cards.

To remove the front panels

1. Open the main panel door.

2. Remove the two upper and two lower screws that
hold the central panel in place and carefully lift off the
complete panel.

3. Now remove the single upper and single lower screw
holding the right side panel in place. Carefully lift off
the panel.

Lower screws
