Digital Lighting Systems, Inc. is introducing an upgrade kit for the LiteComp 1000, 2000 & 3000 series systems. This kit
allows an easy migration to our new Protocol control system by using the existing dimmer modules and enclosures. All low-
voltage cables from the CPU enclosure to the stations and dimmer modules are used by the new system, without any
alterations. The loads remain connected, as they previously were, to the old dimmer modules. There is no need for any re-
wiring.The new boards are designed to slide in the card holders on the mother board, inside the existing CPU enclosure.
There are no electrical connections to the mother board, it is merely used as mechanical support for the new system boards.
The existing CPU, SW, LED and OUTPUT boards are removed, as well as the power supply and the zero-cross board,
leaving the CPU enclosure to house the new components.
Here are some of the most salient advantages the new Protocol system brings over its LiteComp predecessor:
!
Distributed processing which eliminates catastrophic shut-downs due to any failure of the CPU board.
!
In-field Programming and Diagnostics.
!
On-line Programming and Diagnostics, from anywhere.
!
Intelligent Stations with Expanded Switch Functions.
!
Infrared Remote Control.
!
Telephone Voice-Prompted Control from land and Cellular phones.
!
Intuitive and Easy to Use Windows-based User Software for programming and setting up the system.
The new LiteComp upgrade consists of the following components: (Refer to Drawing A-1)
!
PA018 Station Bus Boards.
!
LCOP997 Output Boards.
!
PASxx Series Intelligent Stations.
!
BC88-1 Twisted-pair data cables.
!
WT103 Power Transformers.
!
(Optional) RAU-96 Remote Access Unit for field setup & diagnostics.
!
(Optional) External Modem for dial-in from a remote site.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
System Boards and Control Cables
1)
Find the circuit breaker for the CPU enclosure and turn it off. (Refer to Drawings A-10, A-11)
2)
Label the OUTPUT cables ( terminated with 9-position plugs) connected to the old OUTPUT boards inside the
CPU enclosure, before unplugging them. Start with OUTPUT board #1 and label the cables 1 through 6, from top
to bottom. Label cables on OUTPUT board #2 starting at 7 through 12, and so on. The cables may have already
been labelled correctly. (Refer to Drawings A-2 and A-4.)
3)
Label the LED INPUT cables ( terminated with 8-position plugs) connected to the old LED INPUT boards inside
the CPU enclosure, before unplugging them. Start with LED INPUT board #1 and label the cables 1 through 16,
top to bottom. label cables on LED INPUT board #2 starting at 17 through 32, and so on. These cables usually
had a TAN color jacket. The cables may have already been labeled A, B, C, ...., AA, AB, AC, and so on. This
corresponds to station numbers 1 through 63.
4)
Label the SW INPUT cables ( terminated with 10-position plugs) connected to the old SW INPUT boards inside
the CPU enclosure, before unplugging them. Start with SW INPUT board #1 and label the cables 1 through 16,
top to bottom. Label the cables on SW INPUT board #2 starting at 17 through 32, and so on. These cables
usually had a GRAY color jacket. The cables may have already been labeled A, B, C, ...., AA, AB, AC, and so on.
This corresponds to station numbers 1 through 63. The SW INPUT cables will not be used. However, since they
go to the same station as their corresponding LED cable, they may be used as substitutes if an LED cable is
damaged for any reason. Bundle the cables together and move them out of the way. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE Contd
5)
The two cables connected to the CPU board, will not be used and may be pulled back out of the way.
6)
Once all cables have been properly labelled and unplugged from the boards, remove all boards from the
CPU enclosure. The power supply and the zero-cross board on top of it may also be removed. Before doing
so, label the power feed cables connected to the top board as phase A, B, C and Neutral. (Refer to
Drawings A-10, A-11).
7)
Install the LCOP997 boards. Plug the OUTPUT cables in the same sequence as the older boards. Plug
OUTPUT cables #1 through #6 into the (OH) headers on LCOP997 board #1, plug cables #7 through #12
into the (OH) on LCOP997 board #2, etc... (Refer to Drawings A-4)
8)
Install the PA018 boards. These boards are interchangeable and do not need to be placed in any particular
order. Plug the LED cables into the 8-position headers (BH). The order of the cables is not critical. However,
for clarity purposes, it makes sense to follow the same sequence as the old LED boards. (Refer to Drawing
A-3)
9)
Install the new BC88-1 data communication cables as illustrated in the following drawings. A proper
procedure is to start with the first LCOP997, connect it to the one before it, at either CC1 or CC2 connector,
and work your way down to the last LCOP997 board. From the last LCOP997 board connect a BC88-1 cable
to the closest PA018 board and work your way down to the last PA018 board. The BC88-1 cables can be
plugged into any available slot on the PA018 boards. If an RAU-96 is purchased with the system, the long
BC88-1 cable coming from the RAU-96 may be plugged into any convenient slot on any of the PA018
boards. The PA018 boards act as a system, power and data bus. (Refer to Drawing A-1)
10)
Remove the stations from their individual wall boxes. At each location, label the LED cable with the same
label that was used at the CPU enclosure. The cables may have already been labelled A, B, C, ...., AA, AB,
AC, and so on. This corresponds to station numbers 1 through 63.
11)
Set the addresses of the new stations, According to the cable label (A=1, M=13, etc..). Consult the station
addressing chart for setting up the hexadecimal address selectors to the corresponding decimal numbers
and the station connection drawings provided in this manual. (Refer to Drawings A-13, B-1)
System Power Supply Connection
Ensure that the supply circuit breaker is off, before proceeding. The new system has a decentralized power supply
network. Each system component has its own on-board power regulation circuitry. The only external components
used are 10 VAC step-down transformers. ( Refer to Drawings A-10, A-11)
RAU-96 and Modem Installation
The RAU-96 has its own built-in transformer and power supply. The modem comes with an external power supply
wall adapter. The RAU-96 and modem should be plugged together into a switched outlet, in order to allow the
occupant to switch off external access to the system from a convenient location. Please, consult the attached
drawing for more details on the installation and operation of these devices. ( Refer to Drawing A-12) LOW-VOLTAGE CABLES OVERVIEW
