Emergency, SmartLink, DMX In and DMX Pass-Thru are connected in the
I/O compartment of the SmartPack Wall Mount unit. Each connection uses a pluggable
screw terminal which can be removed for easy wiring.

The RJ45 connection labeled J2 on the I/O board connects the I/O control board to the
control CPU board for data communication to the SmartPack. This connection is made at
the factory prior to shipment.

The LinkPower supply provides power for up to four SmartLink wall stations per system.
SmartPack Wall Mount is available with or without the LinkPower supply option. For field
installation of the LinkPower supply reference LinkPower Supply Kit, page 19.

Emergency/SmartLink

SmartLink is a control protocol that provides added functionality to the SmartPack dimming
pack for inter-connectivity and shared communication of specific data to other SmartLink
enabled host products. Reference the SmartPack User Manual for configuration details.

network. For systems utilizing

One SmartLink host product (SmartPack, SmartSwitch, Unison DRd with
SmartLink or Sensor + with SmartLink) in the system must have a LinkPower
Supply or Station Power Module installed for wall station power. A SmartLink
LinkPower supply (7021K1010) is limited to powering four SmartLink stations.
Alternatively, you may power up to 16 SmartLink stations when using a SmartLink
Station Power Module (S-SPM). You may have up to four SmartLink host products
in a SmartLink system.

Step 1: Cut the Belden 8471 cable so that a 20cm (8”) tail extends from the edge of the

panel.

Step 2: Strip 18cm (7”) of the outer jacket off.

Step 3: If pulling two Belden 8471 cables, label each pair with data type and run

designation. Example: SL1 and SL2.

Step 4: Strip 6.35mm (1/4”) of insulation from the ends of the Belden 8471 wires.

Step 5: Insert the white wire from SL1 data run into pin 1 (NETB) terminal on the

pluggable connector. Tighten the screw firmly onto the wire.

Step 6: Insert the associated SL1 black wire into pin 2 (NETA) terminal on the pluggable

connector. Tighten the screw firmly onto the wire.

Step 7: Repeat steps 5-6 to terminate the second data run (SL2) if required to the

remaining pins 3 and 4 terminals on the connector. Tighten the screw firmly onto
each wire.

Step 8: Reinstall the 6 position pluggable connector to J3 on the I/O PCB.

Two 8 position receptacles are provided on the I/O termination board, one for DMX In and
the other for DMX-Thru. Prior to connecting DMX, follow the instructions for Belden 9729
cable preparation as defined on the single sheet instructions packaged with the 8 position

Control

Guidelines for Data Termination:

For SmartLink (silk-screened as LON) data termination:

• For a single pack installation set switch 1 and 2 to the UP position.

• If multiple packs are installed, only one pack should terminate LON, switch 1 and 2 UP.
All other packs should have LON switches 1 and 2 set DOWN.

• If there are no SmartLink data runs set switch 1 and 2 DOWN.

For DMX 512 data termination:

• If the pack is the last or the only DMX device on the data run set switch 3 UP.

• If the pack is not the last DMX device on the data run set switch 3 DOWN.

Final Installation and Power Up

Verify Installation

• Is the SmartPack unit securely mounted with all mounting bolts tight?

• Is there sufficient clearance 254mm (10”) in front of the unit?

• Check wiring:

• Are all power supply and load cables landed and properly terminated?

• Are all emergency lighting circuits separated from normal circuits with a voltage

barrier?

• Are all unused cable access openings covered with plugs or removable plates?

• Do all control cables meet specifications?

• Are all low voltage connections terminated properly?

• Are all data terminations terminated?

• Remove all debris and the debris shield from the unit.

• The SmartPack Wall Mount unit ships with a debris shield to protect the electronics

during installation. Leave this shield in place during installation and remove only
after installation is complete and before energization. If debris falls into the fan or
electronics remove the debris before applying power to the unit.

Final Installation

Step 1: Attach the ground wire with the ring terminal from the chassis to the grounding

stud on the I/O panel and secure.

Step 2: Close the I/O panel and secure with two screws.

a: All wires should be dressed neatly.

b: Ensure the wires are not crimped in the I/O Panel while closing.

Step 3: Attach the ground wire with the spade connector to the front cover and secure

the front cover to the unit.

Step 4: Apply power to the unit.

Test Loads via Menu

After power is applied to the unit, select the operating language and test each load using
the TEST MENU.

Select the operating language:

Step 1: Apply power to the unit. Available languages for SmartPack will scroll in the

display at 3-second intervals.

Step 2: Press when the preferred language is displayed:

•Set Language - English

•Choisir la langue - Français

•Sprache auswählen - Deutsch

•Seleccionar idioma - Español

Verify DMX512 Operation

Test each load with DMX512 input using a controle console or DMX512 test device.

Troubleshooting SmartLink

After all SmartLink control stations are installed and connected to the SmartLink enabled
product, check for shorts and cross-connections with a digital voltmeter.

• Check the voltage between Net A and ground. This reading should be between 18

- 21 Volts.

• Check the voltage between Net B and ground. This reading also should be
between 18-21 Volts.

• Check the voltage between Net A and Net B. This reading should be between 36­42 Volts.

Check that two LED indicators (located at CR1 and CR2) are illuminated on the LinkPower
supply board.

• If both are illuminated the data connections are good.

• If CR1 is illuminated but not CR2, Net A is shorted to ground.

• If CR2 is illuminated but not CR1, Net B is shorted to ground.

• If neither LED is illuminated, Net A and Net B are both shorted.

If you have any difficulties installing your system, please contact ETC Technical Services
at the office nearest you.

LinkPower Supply Kit

One SmartLink LinkPower Supply (S-LPS) powers up to four wall stations over the
SmartLink™ network.

Note:

You may have only one station power source on the SmartLink network. This
source may be either the LinkPower Supply (S-LPS) or a SmartLink Station Power
Module (S-SPM) which powers up to 16 SmartLink stations. As well, you may
have up to four SmartLink host products in a SmartLink system. One SmartLink
host product (SmartPack, SmartSwitch, Unison DRd with SmartLink or Sensor +
with SmartLink) in the system must have a LinkPower Supply or Station Power
Module installed for wall station power.

Installation Procedure

The LinkPower supply kit includes a LinkPower supply and four screws.

Step 1: Remove power from the control electronics by turning the Standby breaker off.

Step 2: Remove the two screws securing the I/O panel to the chassis.

Step 3: Fold the I/O panel down to reveal the control terminations.

Step 4: Angle the LinkPower supply board approximately 10° and insert the four pins as

found on the LinkPower supply into the receptacle on the I/O board.

Step 5: Align the LinkPower supply with the four screw mounts located on the I/O panel

and secure with the four screws provided. Do not over tighten the screws.

Step 6: Close the I/O panel and secure with the two screws.

Step 7: Re-apply power to the control electronics.
