Encelium PCDM Installation Instructions

Product Safety

Important: Read all instructions before use. Basic safety precautions for electrical equipment must be followed.

• Do not let power supply cords touch hot surfaces.
• Avoid mounting near gas or electric heaters.
• Ensure equipment is mounted securely to prevent tampering.
• Use only Encelium-recommended accessory equipment.
• Use the equipment only for its intended purpose.

Action: Save these instructions for future reference.

Getting Started: Overview

The Phase-Cut Dimming Module (PCDM) by Encelium serves as an interface between phase-cut dimmable luminaires and the Encelium X Lighting Control System. Upon connection to the GreenBus network, the PCDM is automatically addressed, allowing for individual control and configuration of lighting groups or zones to optimize facility needs.

Wired System Overview

Encelium's GreenBus technology simplifies wiring for lighting control systems, supporting DALI devices exclusively or a mix of GreenBus and DALI. The system architecture connects luminaires, sensors, PCDMs, and the Wired Manager via the GreenBus network.

Installation

The PCDM is designed for straightforward installation on standard square 119.1 mm (4.6875 inches) junction boxes. Installation is restricted to dry, indoor locations only. The document details AC line input and GreenBus port connections.

Compatible Load Types

The PCDM is compatible with incandescent/Halogen lamps and ELV LED lamps or LED drivers. It is not compatible with ELV/MLV transformers or MLV LED drivers.

Wire Length Consideration

Maintain a maximum combined dimmed line (Red) length of 15.2 m (50 ft) from the PCDM to the load. This limit includes wiring within luminaires. Exceeding it may cause component stress and failure.

Electrical Connections

Detailed PCDM wiring includes connections for Line In (Black), Neutral (White), Relay Output & DIM Control (Red), Ground (Green), and GreenBus ports.

GreenBus Communication

GreenBus provides reliable communication for Encelium X and Encelium Edge Lighting Control Systems. Wiring can originate from a Wired Manager or compatible modules (WALC, WCM). Use proprietary connectors for PCDM GreenBus ports and follow system layout drawings for optimal paths.

Note: Relay contacts support a maximum switching capacity of 120 VAC, 450 W or 277 VAC, 900 W. Non-daisy-chain connections require approval from an Encelium Representative.
