Application
This installation guide applies to the Lighting Controller
expansion module (cat. no. ASRGLCDSK), as illustrated
on the cover.
Introduction
The A Series® Lighting Controller accepts 16 switch
inputs from the standard module, shown in Figure 1.
Standard Module
Inputs
Figure 2. Three-wire input connections.
Operation
The input voltage is converted to the corresponding
digital value listed in Table 1. If a connection is
made between all three of the input pins (shorting
ON, COM, and OFF) the controller goes to OFF state.
Power
Figure 1. A Series lighting controller with standard input module.
The standard module is mounted on the controller and
draws power from it. Additionally, the lighting controller
can also accept remote switch inputs from the remote
input expansion module, which has 16 switch inputs.
These modules are referred to as standard and remote in
this guide.
The remote module needs a separate 24 Vac/dc supply to
power it. NET2 on the controller board is connected to
the communication port of the remote module.
These modules use the LINKnet communications
protocol. Up to 12 LINKnet devices can be connected to
one controller. These modules handle inputs exclusively.
There are three pins per input labeled
These modules are designed to convert three analog input
values to the digital values 0, 2048, and 4096.
Communication
ON, COM, and OFF.
Three-Wire Connection
The three-wire connection states are shown in Figure 3.

Table 1. Analog-to-digital conversion of voltages.
Momentary Inputs
The following rules apply to momentary inputs:
• All-state changing pulses must be sustained for 100
milliseconds or more.
• A multistate (MI) object must be used to determine
the input states.
• When the MI object transitions to
N/A condition, the corresponding BV object toggles.
MI 101 corresponding to BV 101, MI102
corresponding to BV102, and so on.
ON from OFF or
Maintained Inputs
A multistate (MI) object can capture maintained input
states. The multistate input (MI) object requires a
multistate input configuration (MIC) object to define
which input values determine a state change.

Figure 3. Two-wire input connections.
Operation
A two-wire connection requires a jumper between ON and
COM, which results in a default value of ON. If the switch
(AB) is open the state is
OFF.
ON and if it is closed the state is
Momentary Inputs
The following rules apply to momentary inputs:
• All state-changing pulses must be sustained for 100
milliseconds or more.
• A multistate (MI) object must be used to determine
which of the two states the input is in.
• This input configuration can generate two valid and
distinct states using digital values 0 and 4096,
representing 0 V and 5 V. A transition from
ON state of the MI object toggles the corresponding
OFF to
BV object. For example, changing the MI115 object
OFF to ON toggles the BV115 object.
from
Maintained Inputs
A multistate object (MI) can be used to capture the ON
and OFF states.
Checking Switch Status
To check switch status, first log on to the LCD
programmer, then use the up and down arrow keys to
scroll to the I/O menu:
Press the OK key to display the following menu:
Press the down arrow key twice to reach the lighting
switches menu:
Viewing and Editing Switch
Status
The handheld LCD Programmer, cat. no. GLCHPK, can
be used to view and manually edit switch status. See
DEH41088, LCD Programmer Quick Start Guide, for a
description of the operation and menu sequence.
The available switches are listed in Table 2.
Press OK to display the following menu:
The human figure indicates that the switch is not
commissioned. It does not matter whether the switch is
commissioned or not.
This display indicates that lighting switch 101 is off. Press
the up and down arrow keys to view the status of all other
available switches, as listed in Table 2.

The arrow keys can be used to change the switch to the
ON, OFF, or N/A conditions.
Controlling Objects with a Switch – Case 1
To set a switch to control a particular object, first use the
arrow keys to the I/O menu, then press
odd breakers menu, as illustrated in the previous example.
If an odd-numbered breaker is desired, press
otherwise use the down arrow to display the even breakers
menu and then press
OK. A screen similar to the following
appears:
