4. Product summary and capabilities
The eHub is a RAPIX lighting control system device which connects between input peripherals and a DALI line.
The eHub manages input peripheral power requirements, as well as embedded logical functions and DALI
communications for these connected input peripherals. The connected input peripherals, such as RAPIX modular
switches and PIR sensors, are then able to communicate with a DALI Line.
The unit includes four inputs for connecting to RAPIX smart input peripherals, and two additional input
connections for occupancy sensors and/or dry contacts.
The eHub is a compact unit which fits through a standard 90mm downlight ceiling hole and is suitable for locating
in a ceiling void.
The eHub is configured via the Diginet RAPIX software suite.
5. Product features
• Powered via external 12V dc SELV power supply
• Input sockets for quick and easy input peripheral connection
• Segregated terminal block for DALI Line connections
• LED indicators for power, DALI and Ethernet
• Suitable for mounting in a ceiling void
• Fits through a 90mm downlight hole
• Programmed via DALI
• Four input connections for RAPIX smart input peripherals
• Two input connectors for occupancy sensors and/or dry contacts input peripherals
• Actions for connected input peripherals are configurable. For example, a RAPIX modular switch can be
configured as a toggle dimmer, memory dimmer, long press fade time, double tap action and many other
configurations
• Support for 32 'Zones', Zones being collections of DALI Groups and/or DALI Short Addresses
• Support for up to 16 DALI scenes and (additionally) 16 RAPIX scenes.
6. Mounting the eHub
The eHub is suitable for mounting in a variety of
indoor locations, including above suspended tile
ceilings and fixed plasterboard ceilings.
The eHub has an ingress protection rating of IP20 and
as such is not protected against moisture ingress. It is
therefore not suitable for mounting in an outdoor
environment without being housed in a suitable
weatherproof enclosure.
The eHub includes two 6mm mounting holes. These
can be used to anchor the eHub in a suitable location,
typically using fixing screws or cable ties.

12. Connecting to a DALI Line
WARNING
-
DALI Lines
must be considered at 240Vac electrical mains potential due to basic
equipment isolation and cable segregation between mains and DALI.
Electric shock may result in serious injury or death. Follow all warnings in this guide and on
the product while working in accordance with the latest electrical safety practices.
The eHub can be connected to a single DALI Line, as shown below. Separate DALI loop-off terminals are also

18. Powering the eHub
The eHub has no power switch, therefore when connected to the 12V dc SELV power supply, it will power up.
19. Commissioning and testing
Commissioning of the eHub, which forms part of a complete RAPIX Lighting Control System, should be carried out
using the Diginet RAPIX software suite, which can be downloaded from the Diginet web site at diginet.net.au.
20. Resetting the eHub
Pressing and holding the recessed reset button (with a paperclip or similar) for 45 seconds will perform a
complete factory reset and all settings in the eHub will be lost.
A partial reset can be carried out by pressing and holding the recessed reset button for 10 seconds. This clears
most settings, but input peripheral device definitions and template information is kept.
21. Power surges
The eHub has no mains connection. However, induced voltages or surges may occur on electrical circuits and
communication cabling as a result of excessive voltages from external influences. Any induced voltages or surges
can damage electronic equipment. It is strongly recommended that the electrical and data installation be fitted
with suitable over-voltage protection at the electrical switchboard and IT cabinets to avoid these situations.
22. Insulation resistance testing
It is generally not a requirement to perform an IR test on DALI Lines. In the event it is required, the DALI line
cables must be disconnected from the eHub to conduct the test and then reconnected.
