Unison Foundry™ 0–10V Controller
Overview
The Unison Foundry 0–10V Controller provides fully-rated 20A relays for switched power control with 0–10V dimming for compatible fluorescent ballasts and LED drivers. The 0–10V Controller provides two outputs of control that can be wired to individual fixtures or used for zone control. Each output can be configured to a separate DMX address, or both outputs can be controlled in unison by setting the 0–10V Controller to single-channel mode (see Channel Mode on page 8).
Control connected loads from any DMX control device. Configure the 0–10V Controller either remotely via RDM (using a tool like ETC Net3 Concert) or locally on the controller. See Configure the 0–10V Controller on page 8.

0–10V Controller
Electrical Specification
The 0–10V Controller Supports:
•Power input 120–277VAC, 60 Hz
•Maximum load rating is 20A (total connected load)
Note: The maximum load on the 0–10V Controller can be split between the two relay outputs in any combination required for the installation, but cannot exceed 20A total connected load for the controller.
•Independent control for 0–10V fluorescent ballasts and/or LED drivers, each is capable of sinking 100mA
Supported Load Types (all voltages):
•20A fully-rated relay for use with general purpose, tungsten, fluorescent, and LED lighting loads.
Compliance
•UL and cUL listed
•Conforms to UL 916 (Energy Management Equipment) and UL 2043 (Plenum rated)

ETC Installation Guide
0–10V Controller
Prepare for Installation
The 0–10V Controller is designed for mounting directly to an electrical junction box or panel (provided by others) at the electrical lighting load, upstream of the load in the circuit.
Note: If your installation requires Class 2 wiring to be installed in separate conduit, a voltage barrier installation box is available from ETC. Order ETC part number 7187A1000.
DMX Control Wiring
The 0–10V Controller connects to a DMX512-A source (provided by others) for control.
DMX wiring runs can be daisy chains of up to 32 devices with no Y’s or loops. Each DMX daisy chain must be terminated for proper control performance (see Terminate DMX on page 5).
ETC recommends using Belden 9729 (or approved equivalent) Class 2 wire. Belden 1583A or equivalent Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat 6 UTP wire is also acceptable when properly shielded or installed in grounded metal conduit and connected using the Cat5 IDC termination kit (ETC part number 4100A1013). This termination kit is not provided with the 0–10V Controller.
A voltage barrier installation box (part number 7187A1000) is available for installations where DMX control wiring is installed in grounded metal conduit. Contact ETC to purchase termination kits or voltage barrier installation boxes if required.
The total combined length of a DMX wire run (using Belden 9729 or equivalent) may not exceed 1,000 ft (300 m).
Note: All control wiring should be installed and terminated by a qualified installer and should follow standard wiring installation practices.
Leave approximately 10 in (255 mm) of wiring available for connection and to allow slack for future service needs.
Note: For more information on DMX control wiring requirements, see these and other Support Articles at etcconnect.com:

Installation
Installation should follow all local codes and standard electrical practices. Ensure that the junction box is clean and free of obstructions and that all wiring is installed correctly.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock! This device utilizes high voltage and should only be installed by a qualified installer or electrician. Follow all local codes for installation. Before terminating the AC power wiring verify that the main breaker is in the off position and follow the proper lockout/tag out procedures per NFPA Standard 70E.
WARNING: For indoor use only! Must install to an electrical junction box or wire way.
1:Locate the circuit breaker panel and turn off the power to the lighting circuit.
2:To gain access to the line voltage wiring, remove the cover plate and other hardware from the junction box at the load.
3:Mount the 0–10V Controller to the exterior of the junction box or panel using the 1/2” threaded nipple. Use the provided 1/2” conduit locknut to secure the 0–10V Controller to the junction box or panel.
Note: Follow all local code requirements for terminating wire.
•Notice that the harness wires on the controller are pre-stripped for your installation convenience.
•Use appropriately sized wire nuts (not provided) to secure each termination.

Connect DMX
1:Pull wiring to the junction box.
2:Terminate the DMX cable by following the steps in the termination kit supplied with the unit.
Terminate DMX
Terminate the last device in the DMX data run for proper control performance. To terminate the DMX data run at the 0–10V Controller, connect the last two pins on the termination connector with a wire jumper (not included) as shown below.
Note: Because resistance is built into the 0–10V Controller, no additional resistor is required to terminate the last device in the DMX data run.
