Setup & Installation

1

Find a suitable location

Use these guidelines when installing devices:

• If there is a clear line of sight between two Lightcloud devices,
they can be placed up to 1000 feet apart.

• If the two devices are separated by ordinary drywall construction,
try to keep them within 100 feet of each other.

• Brick, concrete and steel construction may require additional
Lightcloud devices to go around the obstruction.

Install your Lightcloud Sensor

INSTALL AT A JUNCTION BOX INDOOR/OUTDOOR

The Sensor can control other Lightcloud devices, wirelessly.
If you don’t need to hard-wire a switched circuit to the Sensor,
no problem—just tie the white/red wire to neutral and cap o any
unused wires.

For setup and maintenance, we provide two Lightcloud Device Tables with
the Gateway: one that you can attach to your panel and one to hand o to
a building manager. Attach the Device Identification stickers included with
each device to a row, then write in additional information, such as Zone
name, Panel/Circuit Number, and whether or not a zone uses dimming.

Confirm device connectivity

Confirm status indicator LED (see step 8) is solid green. If it is not, make
sure your device is within range of another Lightcloud AC-powered device.

STATUS INDICATOR:

• Solid GREEN when connected to your Lightcloud network

• Blinking RED when not connected to a Lightcloud network. The device will
automatically continue trying to connect to a network that is in Setup Mode.

POWER INDICATOR:

Illuminated when powered. Blinking when indicated from the Lightcloud application.

SIGNAL INDICATOR:

After the Device Button has been pressed, this indicator illuminates when the
device receives a message and indicates the strength of the signal.
3 - Best Signal
2 - Acceptable Signal
1 - Unacceptable Signal

Consult the “Finding a Location” section for more information.

DEVICE BUTTON:

• Press once to highlight this device in the Lightcloud Application
(pressing once also enables display of the Signal Indicators)

• Press twice to toggle circuit on and o

• Press twice and hold to set dim level

• Press and hold for 10 seconds to remove this device from a Lightcloud network

Features

OCCUPANCY & VACANCY SENSING:

The Lightcloud Sensor can operate in either Occupancy or Vacancy Sensor
modes, selectable via the Lightcloud application. In Occupancy mode, the attached

30’

40’

circuit will be switched on when motion is detected, and o (or dimmed) when the
timeout expires. In Vacancy mode, the attached circuit will be turned o when the
motion timeout expires, but will only be turned on via the Lightcloud application,
Lightcloud Wall Switch, or similar. Motion detection and timeout can still be used
via Lightcloud Automations to control other devices.

CONTROLLER MODE:

In Controller Mode, the attached circuit is controllable as an independent zone
in the Lightcloud application. Motion detection and timeout can still be used via
Lightcloud Automations to control other devices.

RANGE TEST MODE:

When Range Test Mode is activated via the Lightcloud application, the timeout
period is shortened so that you can test dierent sensitivities quickly. All indicators
will go o except for the Motion Indicator. When satised, turn o Range Test
Mode to continue normal operation.

Features

010V DIMMING:

0-10V is a common method of low-voltage control of dimmable drivers and ballasts.
Purple: 0-10V positive | Gray: 0-10V common

Note: The National Electrical Code requires that low-voltage wiring used in the same
enclosure as high voltage wiring have an equal or better insulation rating. You may
need to complete your low-voltage wiring in another enclosure or use a partition.

DEVICE IDENTIFICATION:

For help with installation, there are two ways to identify this device:

• Pressing the Device Button on the actual product will produce a message in
the Lightcloud application indicating which device you are working with.

• Pressing the “Indicate” button in the Lightcloud application will cause the
device’s Status Indicator to blink green. This will also switch the device’s relay
on and o repeatedly, allowing you to quickly identify which circuit it is.

POWER MEASUREMENT:

The Lightcloud Sensor is capable of measuring the power usage of the
attached circuit. In order to utilize this function, the neutral wire of the load
must be connected to the white-red switched neutral wire. If this wire is not
used, it should be tied to the regular neutral wire (i.e. all neutral wires joined).

POWER LOSS DETECTION:

If power to the Sensor is lost, the device will detect this and alert the
Lightcloud application.

EMERGENCY DEFAULT:

If communication is lost, the Sensor may optionally fall back to a specic
state, such as turning the attached circuit on. This may be congured via the
Lightcloud application or by calling RAB.

FCC Information:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and

2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Note: This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class B digital devices pursuant to Part 15 Subpart B, of
the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment o and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dierent from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

To comply with the FCC's RF exposure limits for general population / uncontrolled exposure, this transmitter must be installed to
provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.

CAUTION: Changes or modications to this equipment not expressly approved by RAB Lighting may void the user’s authority to
operate this equipment.
