PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AC Smart Connector is a wireless device
which provides electrical connectivity
between the light fixture (load) and 347V
AC line power and provides on/off power
control and dimming signals to the load.
The information that tells the connector to
power on/off/dim the fixture is acquired via
wireless signals that originate from a
building automation system or from room
controls, based on environmental
conditions and/or predetermined
programs.
KEY FEATURES
FCC and IC approved
Flexible wall mounting options
Small form factor with internal antenna
RoHS compliant

IDEAL Model SCL1000 Smart Connector Installation Instructions
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.
Turn off power before removing or installing connector.
TERMINOLOGY
LINE: Incoming power feed from premise wiring
LOAD: Power output from Smart Connector to ballast AC power input
DIM: 0-10 VDC dimming control output from Smart Connector to ballast dimming
input
CONNECTING THE WIRES
LINE Connector
The LINE Connector accepts 12 AWG-18 AWG copper conductors, solid or stranded (19
strands or less for 12 AWG-16 AWG, 7 strands or less for 18 AWG).
Use only one conductor per port and ensure that no copper is exposed on any of the
wires after installation.
1. Strip wires to 1/2”.
2. Grip LINE hot wire and firmly push conductor into one of the black LINE ports. See Fig. 2.
3. Grip LINE neutral wire and firmly push conductor into one of the unmarked LINE ports. See

4. For feed-through (i.e., “daisy-chain”) installations, insert the LINE hot feed-through conductor
into the other black line port. Insert the LINE neutral feed-through conductor into the other
unmarked LINE port. See Fig. 2.
5. After LINE wire installation, the supply power can safely be disconnected and re-connected
without re-installing the wires. To disconnect the supply power, firmly grip the LINE
connector and pull to separate it from the main body of the Smart Connector. To re-
connect, simply push the LINE connector into the corresponding port on the Smart
Connector.
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 hot wire and firmly push conductor into the port marked with the black stripe.
See Fig. 2.
3. Grip the LOAD neutral 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.

INSTALLING THE SCL1000 SMART CONNECTOR IN THE FIXTURE
1. After properly installing all wires per the instructions on page 1, fully extend the antenna.
See Fig. 1.
2. Remove the backing of the double-sided tape on the SCL1000, exposing the adhesive.
3. Insert the antenna through an available open hole in the fixture trough, making sure that as
much of the antenna extends into the plenum space above the fixture as possible. See Fig.
4.
4. Firmly press the connector into place.
