For best results using the Dimensions 8000 Architectural
Lighting Controller, Follow these recommendations:

1. Plan the system before beginning the installation

2. Terminate the wiring

3. Test the wiring

4. Connect dimmer cabinets

5. Check Voltages

6. Power up the Stations

7. Program each Station
Assign unique network ID numbers to stations.
Check the proper operation of each station as it is
installed when multiple stations are involved.

8. Install all Stations

Note: If the lighting control fails or becomes sporadic,
first check the wiring or network ID.

1. To be installed and/or used in accordance with
appropriate electrical codes and regulations.

2. To be installed by a qualified Electrician.

3. DO NOT CONNECT line voltage wires to low volt­age terminals.

4. For the best lamp life, lamp manufacturers recom­mend their fluorescent lamps should be operated at
full brightness for a minimum of 100 hours before dim­ming is permitted. For best results, lamp brands and
types should not be intermixed on a circuit.

5. Disconnect power when servicing the dimmer, fix­ture or when changing lamps.

6. Indoor use only.

7. TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK OR DEATH: TURN OFF

POWER AT MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE
AND TEST THAT THE POWER IS OFF BEFORE
WIRING!

Warnings

Terminating the Wiring

Luma-Net® III

Control Stations can be located up to 2000 ft. from
the dimming cabinet. Luma-Net® is wired Daisy
Chained, station to station. For applications where
runs become too long, or a star configuration is
desired, a Hub can be used.

The cable should not pass near any source of electri­cal noise such as fluorescent circuits or motor wiring.
Avoid close proximity to any AC wiring
All control/power wiring must be in conduit.

Luma-Net® Wire Recommendations

1. Use RS485 compatible cable for communications.
It is recommended that a cable with 2 Twisted Pair,
24 AWG (min.), stranded conductors be used. The
spare pair is for future uses.

2. Capacitance of wire shall be 15pF/ft. or less.

3. Normal Impedance of wire shall be between 100­120 ohms.

4. Drain/Shields to be tied together, insulated and
grounded at one point only.

We strongly recommend the use of either Belden
9829, Belden 8102 or Belden 9729 for the Luma­Net® wire runs.

5. A second pair of stranded wire is required for the
power.

Note: a-2000D Cabinet can be in the

If a remote DC power supply is used and you have multi­ple Luma-Net® runs, all DC common wires must be
joined at the power supply.

At the last control station or dimmer cabinet on both ends
of run, a small jumper wire must be run from the terminal
labeled “Rem-” to the terminal marked “Term” on that last
station. This jumper wire properly terminates the digital
communications lines at both ends of the line.

Wire the Phoenix/Luma-Net Connector

1. Connect leads per wiring diagram as illustrated on page

6.

2. Twist strands of each lead tightly (making sure that
there are no stray strands) and push firmly into appropri­ate plug connector location.

3. Tighten the screws on the plug connector-making sure
that no bare conductor is showing.

4. Tie the Drain/Shield wires together and insulate using a
small piece of heat shrink tubing.

5. Install termination jumpers as required. Remember a
termination jumper is required at the two ends of the
Luma-Net® run.

Stations need to be given an unique address between
1 and 127. If a station address is set to Zero it will not
participate on the network. You use the address
switch to set both the association to the master station
as well as the IR stations unique address.

The switch is set to the binary representation of the ID
number. The binary 1’s column is left-most (lever

labeled “1”).
The switch levers are numbered 1-8, these represent
the following:

Lever=Value
1=1 2=2
3=4 4=8
5=16 6=32
7=64 8= Not Used

Add the value of each lever in the “ON” position to
determine the ID number (decimal form).

For example:

To set the address to 39, the following switches need
to be in the “ON” position:

1, 2,3,6 = 1+2+4+32=39

Testing the Wiring

To assure problem-free start-up, it is important to check
the system wiring, prior to hooking up any control sta­tions, for proper connections, shorts and opens.

The following procedure is recommended:

Step 1: Test the following wire pairs for shorts at each
station location, using an ohmmeter or other continuity
tester.

1-2 Open
2-3 Open
3-4 Open

Step 2: Repair any short circuits before continuing.

Step 3: Install wire jumpers, one pair at a time (not
supplied) to the Luma-Net Connector on either end of
the cable run between pins 1-2, then 2-3, then 3-4.

Step4: Retest each of the following wire pairs at each
connector:

1-2 Short
2-3 Short
3-4 Short

Step 5: Make any necessary repairs and remove wire
jumpers before continuing.

Surface Mount Units:

1. Plug the Luma-Net connector into the back of the
surface mount unit as shown in the figure below.

2. Gently push the wire and assembly into the desired 1
gang electrical box.

3. Use the 2 6-32 screws provided to secure the unit to
the electrical box in the ceiling.

You must associate the IR station with a Master Station,
either a D4200 LCD station or a D8000 station, in a simi­lar fashion to the D4200 Entry Stations.

Multiple IR stations of various types can be

slaved to a single master station.

T

o set the remote identification number, and slave it

to a master D4200 or D8000 station:

1. With the station unplugged, set the IR station’s DIP
switches to the address of the master station that it is to
be slaved with.

2. Move the small programming jumper, adjacent to the
Luma-Net connector, so it is plugged onto both pins on
the circuit board.

3. Power up the station by plugging it back in. The red
LED above the jumper will stay lit until the programming
is complete (the D8000 version will flash 3 times).

4. Once the LED goes out, unplug the Luma-Net con­nector.

D4200:
There is no additional programming that needs to be
done. The D4200 LCD will respond to the hand held
IR units out of the box. If it does not work, double
check the D4200 LCD station to see if the IR port is
turned on. Refer to the units User Guide for details.

D8000:
The IR station is programmed to work out of the box
on a 1 for 1 line up of buttons. This works well for
most station types except the LCD. In this case, it is
recommended that you change the button mapping of
the IR station. You can either create the file in
LumaEdit or use the enclosed CD rom with the ldt file
for an IR station slaved to a generic LCD station.
Treat the IR station just like a 15 button entry station,
that has been slaved to another D8000 station.

In a D8000 system, the IR station does not

have to be slaved to another station

T

o specify a button to listen to a specific command

from a Hand Held remote other than default program

-

ming:

1. Open a 15 Button station in LumaEdit

2. Set the Network ID for the IR station.

3. Set the ID of the station it will be slaved to.

4. Click on the Enable IR button in the Station
Properties Section under Layout.

12 13

Setting the Address Con’t:

5. Remove the programming jumper and replace it so
that it is on only one pin.

6. With the station still unplugged, set the DIP switches
to the desired ID number for this particular remote station
(every station on the network must have its own unique
station number between 1-127).

7. Power up the station by plugging it back in, and it
should be ready to operate normally. When the station
first powers up under operating conditions, the back Red
LED flashes rapidly until the Luma-Net® network
becomes stable/operational.
