PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The LVDC Grid Luminaire Controller is a
wireless device which provides electrical
connectivity between the light fixture (load)
and 24V DC power and provides on/off
power control and 0-10V based dimming to
the load. The information that tells the
controller to power on/off/dim the fixture is
acquired via wireless signals that originate
from a building automation system or room
controls, based on environmental conditions
and/or predetermined programs.
KEY FEATURES
FCC and IC approved
Small form factor
Integrated Wire Antenna
RoHS compliant

WARNING: This is a current rated device. Use in applications involving
Amperage beyond its rating can be dangerous and cause electrical fires.
Wiring must comply with all applicable electrical codes.
TERMINOLOGY
24V Input: Incoming power feed from 24V source (DC Flex-Zone)
LOAD: Power output from Luminaire Controller to 24V DC LED Fixture input
DIM: 0-10 VDC dimming control output from Smart Connector to ballast
dimming input
Power and Load Connections
Power
The 24V Input power is applied to the device once clipped onto the DC Flexzone grid.
Place the device in the desired location on an energized rail.
LOAD Connector
The LOAD Connector accepts 18 AWG copper conductors, solid or stranded (16 strands
or less).
Use only one conductor per port and ensure that no copper is exposed on any of the
wires after installation.

1. Strip the wires to 3/8”.
2. Grip the LOAD +24V wire and firmly push conductor into the port marked with the black
stripe. See Fig. 2.
3. Grip the LOAD -24V wire and firmly push conductor into the unmarked port. See Fig. 2.
4. After LOAD wire installation, the load can safely be disconnected and re-connected without
re-installing the wires. To disconnect the load, firmly grip the LOAD connector and pull to
separate it from the main body of the Smart Connector. To re-connect, simply push the
LOAD connector into the corresponding port on the Smart Connector.
DIM Connector
The DIM Connector accepts 18 AWG copper conductors, solid or stranded (16 strands or less).
Use only one conductor per port and ensure that no copper is exposed on any of the wires after
installation.
1. Strip wires to 3/8”.
2. Grip positive/(+)/purple DIM conductor and firmly push into the port marked “1”. See Fig. 3.
3. Grip negative/(-)/gray DIM conductor and firmly push into the port marked “2”. See Fig. 3.
4. After DIM wire installation, the DIM connector can safely be disconnected and re-connected without
re-installing the wires. To disconnect the DIM connector, firmly grip the DIM connector and pull to
separate it from the main body of the Smart Connector. To re-connect, simply push the DIM
connector into the corresponding port on the Smart Connector.
PROGRAMMING
Refer to the Audacy™ system configuration manual to associate smart connectors to other
devices and to set up operating parameters for the Audacy™ lighting control system
