Overview
The Universal Source Controller line of lighting control panels set a
new standard in architectural lighting control. Each Source Controller
contains individual control cards that are the industry’s only “true
universal” by controlling most load types without interface or
multiple cards. In addition, each panel has onboard Ethernet, A/V
interface, Contact Closure, DMX input, voltage sensing, real-time
individual circuit power metering, and Phase Sense™ technology
designed to ensure control even during individual phase failure.
Features
6, 12, and 24 circuit variants
Forward Phase triac slow rise-time dimmer engine. Capable
of withstanding repetitive inrush current of 50 times operating
current without impacting lifetime of dimmer or relay.
Positive air-gap off per circuit
Single or three phase versions
Continuous duty, thermal magnetic SWD rated breakers for each
circuit
Bypass per circuit for manual override and providing construction
site lighting
Voltage and frequency compensation to maintain light level during
supply fluctuations
Real-time power metering for each circuit, phase, and the total
panel
Live feed per circuit, via breaker, for emergency lighting
connection

SC-UN – Universal Source Controllers
Specifications
Mechanical No regular maintenance requirements due
to natural convection cooling, i.e. no fans or
filters
Single circuit dimmer card
Wall mounted design
Programming An LCD graphical user interface and keypad
for ease of programming and configuration.
The interface can be used for programming
single area systems there is no need to use a
PC. The GUI also allows programming of the
astronomical timeclock.
Interfacing All SC-UN Source Controllers have RS485
and Ethernet over UDP connections to allow
for control by third party systems (Building
Management System, Audio/Visual, etc.)
through the use of open protocol ASCII
message commands
Two contact closure inputs for integration
with auxiliary equipment and emergency
lighting input
DMX512 input for control by entertainment
systems
Power metering information is available via
Ethernet over UDP through the use of open
protocol ASCII message commands

Each Source Controller can power up to 10 wallstations/devices. For more than
10 wallstations/devices per Source Controller add a 15 VDC External Power Supply.
Wallstations/devices must be within 1,000 ft. of the Source Controller.
For wallstations/devices further from a Source Controller add a 15 VDC External
Power Supply. 100 Devices per physical segment on iCANnet, maximum segment
distance of 1000m/3200ft. A BN-2-NA can be added to combine more than 100 devices
together (up to 65,000 total) and to extend network cable distance.
