PROJECT PLANNING AND EXECUTION
If you are performing installation only, use the instructions in Step 6 below.
Study the building floor plans, lighting schedule, and panel schedule. Discuss 1.
requirements with customer.
Develop a Bill of Materials; order products.2.
C-Bus units must be configured to operate on the C-Bus network. For the 3.
units covered in this guide, you will need the C-Bus Toolkit and/or PICED
software, available on the Square D Lighting Control website (http://www.
squaredlightingcontrol.com/downloadcenter.cfm).
Install the software and create a Toolkit project for the installation; pre-configure 4.
the units on an off-site mini-network; and prepare to send the units to the site:
Create a temporary mini-network from a PC, PC Interface, Power Supply, and •
hardware Network Burden.
Temporarily attach each unit, in turn, to the mini-network and give it a unique •
Unit Address and Part Name.
Perform any other lighting-control configuration planned for the off-site •
configuration.
Save the information to the unit and to the Toolkit project database.•
Write the Unit Address and Part Name on the unit, its box, and the site plan.•
Send the units and plan to site for installation.5.
When you install a unit, record its location: remove the self-stick serial number 6.
label from the product box and place it on the site plan at the unit’s location.
Prepare detailed switching and control configurations in the Toolkit project 7.
database.
When the units have been installed, connect your laptop to the network via a 8.
PC Interface (standard or USB) or Ethernet Interface, and download the Toolkit
project from the database to the C-Bus network.
Test the system’s functions and make any changes required.9.
Schedule a visit for about a month following occupation of the building to adjust 10.
its configuration.
C-BUS UNITS
Three main types of units: system units, input units, and output units
System units (e.g., a DIN-Rail Power Supply) enable certain network operations.•
Input units (e.g., a Two-Button Neo Keypad) issue commands.•
Output units (e.g., a Four-Channel Dimmer) execute commands from input units.•
C-BUS NETWORK PARAMETERS
Maximum number of units on a network: 100 (@ 18 mA)
When a network contains units that draw more than 18 mA, the maximum
number of units will be less than 100.
Maximum total length of Cat-5 UTP cable on a single network: 3281 ft (1 km)
This is approximately three 1000 ft (305 m) boxes of Cat-5 UTP wire.
