SCD1000 Smart Connector

SCD1000 – Downlight/LED Smart Connector

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The AC Smart Connector is a wireless device
which provides electrical connectivity
between the light fixture (load) and
120V/277V AC line power and provides
on/off power control and dimming signals
to the load. The information that tells the
connector to power on/off/dim the fixture
is acquired via wireless signals that
originate from a building automation
system or from room controls, based on
environmental conditions and/or
predetermined programs.

KEY FEATURES

FCC and IC approved
External fixture mounting
Small form factor

SCD1000 – Downlight/LED Smart Connector

IDEAL Model SCD1000 Downlight/LED Smart Connector Installation

Instructions

WARNING: This is a current rated device. Use in applications involving

amperage beyond its rating can be dangerous and cause electrical fires.

Wiring must comply with all applicable electrical codes.
Turn off power before removing or installing connector.

TERMINOLOGY

LINE(Black): Smart Connector power feed to be connected to premise wiring
LOAD(Red): Power output from Smart Connector to ballast AC power input
Neutral(White): Incoming Neutral from premise wiring and outgoing ballast
neutral.
DIM (Purple/Grey): 0-10 VDC dimming control output from Smart Connector to
ballast dimming input

CONNECTING THE WIRES

Input Power
The smart connector LINE(Black) and NEUTRAL(White) wires are 18 AWG solid copper
conductors.

1. Strip wires to 1/2”.

2. Connect Smart Connector Line Input to premise line power feed with appropriate sized
wirenut or push-in connector.

3. Connect Smart Connector Neutral Input to premise neutral feed with appropriately sized
wirenut or push-in connector..

4. For feed-through (i.e., “daisy-chain”) installations, connect the LINE hot feed-through
conductor into the wirenut in step 2. Also, connect the NEUTRAL feet-through conductor
connected without re-installing the wires. into the wirenut in step 3.

LOAD
The LOAD(red) and Neutral(White) wire are 18 AWG solid copper conductors.

1. Strip wires to 1/2”.

2. Connect Smart Connector LOAD wire to the ballast hot line with appropriate sized wirenut or
push-in connector if necessary.

3. Connect Smart Connector NEUTRAL Output to the ballast neutral with appropriately sized
wirenut or push-in connector if necessary.

4. For feed-through (i.e., “daisy-chain”) installations, connect the LOAD hot feed-through
conductor into the wirenut in step 2. Also, connect the NEUTRAL Output feed-through
conductor into the wirenut in step 3.

DIM Connector
The DIM wires are18 AWG solid copper conductors.

1. Strip wires to 1/2”.

2. Connect positive/(+)/purple DIM wire from Smart Connector to positive/(+)/purple wire from
dimming ballast with appropriate sized wirenut or push-in connector if necessary.

3. Connect negative/(-)/grey DIM wire from Smart Connector to negative/(-)/grey wire from
dimming ballast with appropriate sized wirenut or push-in connector if necessary.
