DescriptionPart of the DimOnOff wireless control technology, Litenode relays are suitable for general purposelighting control applications that add intelligent functions and networkability to any light fixture. Therelay provides continuous retroactive 0 V to 10 V (sink/source) for all types of ballasts and drivers andprovide power to external sensors (optional).• intelligent distributed control, metering, and monitoring• NEMA C136-41• 5- and 7-pin with continuous retroactive 0 V to 10 V dimmingOperationUnless otherwise programmed, the relay will turn on the fixture approximately 10 seconds after poweris restored to the relay.The yellow LED will blink when power is properly applied.Using DimOnOff software, test the communications link with the relay.Before you install• This device is to be installed and/or used in accordance with appropriate electrical codes andregulations.• If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult a qualified electrician.• Use this device only with NEMA C136-41 or C136-10 certified receptacles.Use authorized utility procedures to install or service this device. Dangerous voltages are present.Disconnect power at the circuit breaker or fuse when servicing, installing, or removing the light fixture.Equipment damage, personal injury, or death may result if safety precautions are not followed.Litenode™ wireless nodeSingle load RME-GENInstallation instructionsIL42-5047ADRAFT
Litenode™ wireless node 2InstallationUse authorized utility procedures to install or service this device. Dangerous voltages are present.Disconnect power at the circuit breaker or fuse when servicing, installing, or removing the light fixture.Equipment damage, personal injury, or death may result if safety precautions are not followed.If you are uncertain about any part of these instructions, consult a qualified electrician.The node input and output are low voltage (24 VDC). Consult local building codes and regulations forinformation regarding low-voltage installation.1 To avoid fire, shock, or death, be sure to turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse. Verify that power is off before proceeding.2 Connect lead wires according to the wiring diagram as follows:- Line voltage wiring: Remove 5/8-inch (1.6 cm) of insulation from each circuit conductor. Make surethat the ends of the conductors are straight. Connect lead wires from relay to line per theappropriate wiring diagram as follows. Twist strands of each lead tightly and, with circuitconductors, push firmly into the appropriate wire connector. Screw connectors on clockwisemaking sure that no bare conductor shows below the wiring connectors. Secure each connectorwith electrical tape.- Class II warning: Connect low-voltage wires from relay to fixture per appropriate wiring diagramas follows. Twist strands of each lead tightly, and with circuit conductors, push firmly intoappropriate wire connector. Screw connectors on clockwise, making sure that no bare conductorshows below the wire connectors. Make sure to cap-off unused low-voltage wires. Secure eachconnector with electrical tape.3 Restore power at circuit breaker or fuse.RME-GEN wiringLine wires on C-136 socket supplied by othersColor GaugeLine in Black 14Neutral/line 2 White 14Line out Red 14DC control wires on C-136 socket supplied by others0Vto10V+out Purple 180 V to 10 V- ground out Gray 18Digital in 13 VDC to 30 VDC Orange 18VCC 24 VDC 50 mA Brown 18DRAFT
Litenode™ wireless node 3Antenna location and installationThe antenna for the model ELIR1 Lightnode relay is integral to the unit and is contained wholly within thedevice itself. It is not accessible to the user and may not be modified in any way.To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, a separation of 20 cm ormore should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during device operation.To ensure compliance, operations at closer distance than 20 cm is not recommended.TroubleshootingGeneral• Make sure the wires are connected according to the wiring diagram.• Make sure the wires have proper contact and are securely connected.• If no LEDs are lit, then check the power.Lights won’t turn on when relay is being powered:• Make sure the wires are properly connected.• Make sure the yellow LED is blinking.Light won’t turn off after command has been sent:• Make sure that relay is receiving communication (red LED blinks)Relay doesn’t respond to commands:• Make sure no obstacle (concrete, metal, etc.) is present between relay antenna and the emitter.LED indicators:• Yellow: blinks every 3 seconds to indicate that relay is powered and functioning normally• Red: flashes to indicate message reception• Green: flashes to indicate message transmission by the relay.If there is no message reception/transmission, then possible causes are antenna positioning anddistance from another relay or the gateway.Specifications• Model: ELIR1• IC: 4557A-ELIR1• FCC ID: QZC-ELIR1• Operating range: 110 VAC to 480 VAC 50 Hz or 60 Hz• Maxoutput:8A(2Aat480V)• Inputs: 1 digital (0 VDC to 30 VDC), optional• Output: 24 VDC 50 mA max• Continuous retroactive0Vto10VdimmingSee the product data sheet for complete detailsDRAFT
