Litenode™ wireless node

DRAFT

Single load RME-GEN

Installation instructions
IL42-5047A

Description

Part of the DimOnOff wireless control technology, Litenode relays are suitable for general purpose
lighting control applications that add intelligent functions and networkability to any light fixture. The
relay provides continuous retroactive 0 V to 10 V (sink/source) for all types of ballasts and drivers and
provide power to external sensors (optional).

• intelligent distributed control, metering, and monitoring

• NEMA C136-41

• 5- and 7-pin with continuous retroactive 0 V to 10 V dimming

Operation

Unless otherwise programmed, the relay will turn on the fixture approximately 10 seconds after power
is restored to the relay.

The yellow LED will blink when power is properly applied.

Using DimOnOff software, test the communications link with the relay.

Installation

Use authorized utility procedures to install or service this device. Dangerous voltages are present.
Disconnect power at the circuit breaker or fuse when servicing, installing, or removing the light fixture.
Equipment damage, personal injury, or death may result if safety precautions are not followed.

If you are uncertain about any part of these instructions, consult a qualified electrician.

The node input and output are low voltage (24 VDC). Consult local building codes and regulations for
information regarding low-voltage installation.

1 To avoid fire, shock, or death, be sure to turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse. Verify that power

is off before proceeding.

2 Connect lead wires according to the wiring diagram as follows:

- Line voltage wiring: Remove 5/8-inch (1.6 cm) of insulation from each circuit conductor. Make sure

that the ends of the conductors are straight. Connect lead wires from relay to line per the
appropriate wiring diagram as follows. Twist strands of each lead tightly and, with circuit
conductors, push firmly into the appropriate wire connector. Screw connectors on clockwise
making sure that no bare conductor shows below the wiring connectors. Secure each connector
with electrical tape.

- Class II warning: Connect low-voltage wires from relay to fixture per appropriate wiring diagram

as follows. Twist strands of each lead tightly, and with circuit conductors, push firmly into
appropriate wire connector. Screw connectors on clockwise, making sure that no bare conductor
shows below the wire connectors. Make sure to cap-off unused low-voltage wires. Secure each
connector with electrical tape.

3 Restore power at circuit breaker or fuse.
