Dry Contact Closure Interface Overview LuXout Shades Dry Contact Closure Contact closure interfaces allows integration of the Automation systems throughout the house. The contact closure interface communicates to LuXout Shades via ARC RF communication. Each interface can control one group or one shade using two conductor - one pair #18 AWG (1.0mm²), class 2 cable. Many electronic systems and devices have the capability to provide status or control in the form of dry contact closure (relay/switch) outputs. Each individual device output can be connected to a contact closure inputs. The contact closure input is programmed from a channel on a LuXout keypad. Model Number LS-CCI: Wired Contact Closure Input Interface Input Voltage 12V (from Automation System). 240z12V Environment Ambient operating temperature: 0 C to 40 C, 32 F to 104 F. Ambient operating humidity: 0-90% humidity, non-condensing. Indoor use only. LuXout Shades I-108
LuXout Low Voltage Plug-In Overview 1). When Do I Charge The Motor? Our motors are charged when you get them. The charge should last about 500 cycles. (Up-down) When the motor battery gets low on charge, it will beep at you when operating. The beeping will happen until the motor stops. Be sure to charge the motor once it beeps at you during operation. Suggestion - Set a renewing calendar event on a set date each year then recharge the motor to avoid beeping. 2). Charging The Motor Plug in the charger into a nearby electrical outlet. Connect the cable from charger to cable that is attached to the motor. The cable is 6 long and runs from the motor to the plug. Charge 3-5 hours or until the LED on the charger turns green. 3). What If I Forget And Leave The Charger Hooked Up For An Extended Time? The batteries cannot be over-charged. LuXout motors feature a charge-management circuit that adjusts the amount of electrical current feeding the battery. As a battery reaches its maximum charge, the circuit will limit the current eventually shutting off power once the battery is fully charged.

Box Contents: The Output Power Supply Panel is a surface mount plug in power supply for use with 12 volt powered shades. simplifies the wiring and organizes installations that require multiple power supplies. 1). Important Notes 1. All wiring must be in accordance with national and local codes 2. Note: Secondary wiring must be of type CL2, CL2P, CL2R, CL2X or other cable with equivalent or better electrical, mechanical, and flammability ratings in accordance with all local and national electric codes. 3. does not need to be installed by a qualified electrician. 4. Ambient operating temperature: 32 to 104F (0 to 40C), 0-90% humidity, non-condensing. 5. This product is intended for indoor use only. 6. This panel may not be compatible with any other shade devices. I-111
2). Installation A. Open metal outer panel cover. B. Choose panel mounting location so line voltage wiring is at least 6 ft (1.8 m) from audio or electronic equipment and associated wiring (prevents radio frequency interference). C. Use fasteners rated for a 25 lb (11.3 kg) load. Notes: Mount the in a position where it can be easily located and accessed if service or troubleshooting is necessary. Mount the in the orientation shown (Mounting Hardware is not provided). Do not mount in any other orientation. For indoor use only. NEMA, Type 1 enclosure, IP30. Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes. + 3/4 A = 11 B = 9 C = 3 1/2 Bottom View Knockout Pattern (from outside of box) 3/4 + + 3/4 Top View Knockout Pattern (from outside of box) C + 3/4 Left Side View Knockout Pattern (from outside of box) I-112
3). Line Voltage Wiring A. SHOCK HAZARD. Risk of serious injury or death. Locate and lock the supply breaker in the OFF position before wiring to the screw blocks. Note: Maximum of 2 power supplies per 20 A breaker, or 1 per 15 A breaker. 1. Turn power off at circuit breaker. 2. Plug provided power cord into wall socket. NOTICE: This power supply is built-in fan on/off control circuit. Fan automatically works according to working temperature. I-113
4). Low Voltage Wiring A. SHOCK HAZARD. Risk of serious injury or death. Locate and lock the supply breaker in the OFF position before wiring to the terminal blocks. Note: Note: All secondary wiring must be of type CL2, CL2P, CL2R, CL2X or other cable with equivalent or better electrical, mechanical, and flammability ratings in accordance with local and national electric code. 1. Unplug panel. 2. Remove as many knockout tabs as necessary from the top of the enclosure and insert 0.50 in strain reliefs (not included) into the open knockout holes. 3. Route the wire through the strain reliefs and to the output terminal blocks. 4. Strip the wire insulation so that 0.25 in of bare wire is exposed. Insert the Common leads into the (-) Terminal screw and the +12 V leads into the (+) Terminal screw. Tighten the terminal blocks to 3.5-5 in lb (0,4, -0,6 N m). Make sure the wire insulation is not pinched. 5. Close metal cover securely back onto the enclosure and tighten the screws. 6. Restore power to the panel by plugging into outlet. 7. IMPORTANT NOTE: No more than 5, 35mm or 45mm motors can be wired to each of the sections. Do not overload section. For 25mm & 28mm motors the maximum number is 9 per section. B. Wire Length Chart Use this chart to determine the maximum wire length, from panel to shade, based on the gauge of the wire that is used. Distance to shade 16 AWG (1.5 mm²) 18 AWG (1 mm²) 200 ft (60 m) 125 ft (35 m) I-114
5). Low Voltage Wiring A. SHOCK HAZARD. Risk of serious injury or death. Locate and lock the supply breaker in the OFF position before wiring to the terminal blocks. 1. Turn off power at the circuit breaker. 2. Route the secondary wiring to the shade so the connection to the shade wiring can be concealed in the shade headbox. Secondary wiring may be routed into the headbox either by dropping the wire in through the top of the headbox, or drilling a hole in the shade endcap. 3. Identify the shade wiring cable. 4. Remove 0.25 in (6.3 mm) of the insulation from both the white and white/black wires. 5. Connect the wires to the shade cable using the provided WAGO wire connectors. Connect the white shade wire to the +12V lead of the wiring. Connect the white/black shade wire to the common of the wiring. 6. Restore power to the and confirm that the shade is energized. Refer to the LuXout Shade Installation and Programming guide for programming and operating instructions. Connect the secondary wiring to the shade wiring cable via wire connectors provided. - Connection should be concealed within headbox I-115
