DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The LMBC-600 Network Bridge module provides a network
connection for a group of Wattstopper Digital Lighting
Management (DLM) Local Network room level devices.
The DLM local network must include at least one room/load
controller. Connecting the LMBC-600 to the DLM local network
then to either the DLM Segment Manager or a third party
system using the BACnet protocol exposes the status and
parameters of all connected devices to the broader network.

SPECIFICATIONS

Determine a suitable location for the LMBC-600. This will usually be in the ceiling closely located to the DLM local network devices to
be networked either directly in the room/space or just outside in a hallway for easier access. Classrooms and patient rooms are ideal for
hallway mounting of the bridge.

The LMBC-600 is UL2043 Plenum rated and comes with an DIN rail mounting plate for flexibility.
Warning: The LMBC-600 is a wireless device. Avoid mounting next to motors, large metal obstructions, or within 12” of another wireless

emitting device.

Attach DIN rail clip

MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION

Option 1: Attach to DIN rail

Option 2: Mount to wall

Attach the LMRJ Local Network Cable

WIRING TO THE DLM LOCAL NETWORK

The DLM local network uses free topology low voltage wiring. The LMBC-600 can connect anywhere on the DLM local network using
LMRJ cables.

Use a Wattstopper LMRJ series cable or a Cat5e patch cable to connect the LMBC-600 to one of the RJ-45 jacks on any of the DLM
local network devices. When connected to a powered DLM local network the red Transmit LED blinks rapidly. The red Config LED blinks
at the same rate as the other DLM local network devices.

WARNING: Connect the LMBC-600 RJ-45 jack only to DLM lighting control devices. Do not connect Ethernet to the LMBC-600 RJ-45 jack.

The following information is intended for use by a Wattstopper authorized start-up technician.
IMPORTANT: Ensure all border routers are installed and powered off (LMRJ unplugged or breaker off) before installing wireless bridges.

For multi story installations, please follow the steps below for each floor.

1. Using a Wattstopper LMRJ Cat5e cable, connect the wireless bridge by plugging the Cat5e cable into an available RJ45 port on
both the bridge and any room controller inside the space or zone to be networked. Once connected to the room controller, the
bridge will power on.

2. After power up sequence(less than 30 seconds), a solid BLUE led indicates the wireless radios are active and searching for border
routers. The BLUE led will remain solid until it has associated with a border router(LMBR-600).

3. Power on all border routers installed in the space or on the individual floor

4. Bridges will automatically discover and join the panID of available border routers. Once this happens, the BLUE led will begin to
blink periodically.

5. Confirm that all wireless bridges are powered on with the BLUE led blinking. Once verified the bridge installation for the area or
floor is complete.

6. Important: For Multi-story deployments, it is recommended that all border routers be powered off to avoid bridges connecting to
border routers on different floors. This method ensures more robust wireless communication between wireless nodes and easier
system startup and management.

7. When all floors have been installed per the steps 1-6, the system is ready to be commissioned by a remote or on-site authorized
Wattstopper Startup technician.
