Terminating Remote Light Sensor Control Wiring
Termination is available at the controller for up to two light sensors (labeled “Primary
Sensor” and “Optional Sensor”). When remote light sensors are installed, follow
these instructions to terminate the control wiring at both the light sensor and the
controller. Torque each termination to 3.1-3.5 in-lb.
Step 1:Terminate the incoming wire from the controller to the light sensor leads
using the WAGO cage clamp connectors (provided).
a: Strip 3/8” (9-10mm) from the ends of each wire (both light sensor lead and the
and wires from the controller).
b: Open the terminal levers on the WAGO connector and insert the installed
(typically black) Belden 8471 incoming wire and the black lead from the light
sensor.
c: Close the levers onto the wires.
d: Repeat for the installed (typically white) Belden 8471 wire and remaining wire
lead using another WAGO connector.
Step 2:Terminate the incoming wire pairs from the remote light sensors to the
controller.
a: At the controller, strip 3/16” (5mm) of insulation from the ends of each installed
light sensor wire.
b: Using a small 1/8” (3,35mm) flat blade or #1 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the
terminals on the ‘Primary Sensor” and ‘Secondary Sensor’ connectors found
on the underside of the controller.
c: Insert the black (typical) wire from the first light sensor wire pair into terminal ‘1’
of the ‘Primary Sensor’ connector.
d: Insert the white (typical) wire from the first light sensor wire pair into terminal ‘2’
of the ‘Primary Sensor’ connector.
e: Repeat this process for the second wire pair to the ‘Optional Sensor’ connector.
Power Up and Test
Power Up
For power to be applied to the Paradigm Light Sensor, any additional LinkConnect
terminations for the system must also be made. In addition, the Paradigm
Architectural Control Processor (P-ACP) and Station Power Module (P-SPM) must be
installed in the host DRd or ERn rack enclosure.
Identify Number of Connected Remote Sensors
The controller termination board includes an LED, labeled ‘Sensor Count’ that blinks
according to the number of remote sensors installed. As needed, refer to this LED to
ensure the system has been wired properly and the controller has properly detected
the correct number of connected light sensors.
