B Electrical Installation
Multiconductor cable, 22 to 18 gauge, is recommended. One conductor for each output channel and
three additional conductors are required. For example, the HLC-6 requires 6+3= 9 conductors. The
HLC-1 requires 1+3=4 conductors.
Wiring connections are made to the terminal strip on the rear of the circuit card on the rear of the pan-
el. Control panels may be bused (daisy chained) together by wiring two conductors into each termi-
nal. Jump the wires from panel to panel to the dimmer pack, keeping the same color wire in the same
terminal every time.
The HLC panel terminals are labeled as follows:
terminal 1 Common
terminal 2 +12V
terminal 3 Clear
terminal 4 Out 1
terminal 5 Out 2
terminal 6 Out 3
terminal 7 Out 4
terminal 8 Out 5
terminal 9 Out 6
terminal 10 Clr
terminal 11 Take
terminal 12 +12V
Terminals 10, 11, and 12 are not used in standard installations but may be used for remote preset
applications. The remote preset requires additional equipment and wiring. An example diagram is
provided at the rear of the manual, but it is recommended to consult the factory before attempting
this.
The dimmer pack may use any of several analog control input connectors. Often the connection chart
is screened on the sheet metal. If not, check with the manufacturer to be sure. Dove dimmer packs
may have any of three connectors: terminal strip (labeled as to function); DB15M; and DB25M. The
analog 0 to +10VDC standard states that the connector on the dimmer pack is male. The connector
from the controller is female.
The DB15 is wired as follows:
pin 1 channel 1
pin 2 channel 2

pin 13 +12VDC
