2.0 Important Notes

• LexCom Home Control wall switches must be installed by appropriately qualified personnel.

• Wall switches must be connected to circuits that incorporate 10 A rated circuit breaker protection.

• LexCom Home Control wall switch dimmers cannot replace standard wall switches which are wired as part of a two-way or three-way switch group (without modification).

• All two channel relay units require both channels to have loads connected for proper unit operation.


6

Fluorescent and Compact Fluorescent (CF) Lamps

• Some load types such as most CF lamps, (also known as energy saver lamps), are incompatible with dimmer units and electronic relays. Do not use these with LexCom Home Control dimmer units. Either an incandescent lamp or a mains rated 1 μF capacitor must be wired in parallel with a CF lamp, when used with LexCom Home Control wall switch relay units (this is not necessary with plug adapter relay units).

• When using fluorescent lamps with LexCom Home Control relay units, ensure they meet the unit’s minimum load rating. Such lamps must include a Power Factor Correction (PFC) capacitor for the relay unit to function correctly.

No isolation is provided by wall switches. Hazardous voltage exists at the load terminals and lamp sockets in the unit’s “off” state. Ensure that the circuit breaker is switched off before changing light bulbs, etc.

3.0 Description

LexCom Home Control wall switches are a two-wire retrofit range of radio frequency (RF) devices. They are designed to replace most standard wall switches with little or no modification to the mounting enclosure. The units can be switched by remote control, and have learn and scene capability.

4.0 Definitions

The definitions in Table 1 are used in discussing LexCom Home Control units.

Term Definition

load A light or other electrical appliance connected to a LexCom Home Control dimmer, relay or other output unit. Examples include lights, heaters and electric motors.

scene A series of actions across multiple LexCom Home Control units, triggered by a single button. For example, on arrival home you could use a scene to switch on lights in the hallway, kitchen and lounge, and switch on a heater.

local control button

A button on a LexCom Home Control unit that is permanently linked to an output channel of the same unit. LexCom Home Control devices have one pair of local control buttons for each of their output channels.

free button Any button on a LexCom Home Control unit that is NOT a local control button. Plug adapters do not have any free buttons.

Table 1 – Definitions

5.0 Installation Procedure

It is important to select the right location to install a LexCom Home Control wall switch. Some considerations are listed below:

• Provide easy access to the unit for switching lights and selecting scenes.

• Choose a location free of water, humidity, direct sunlight and heavy dust.

• Allow adequate ventilation.

• Do not cover the unit.

• LexCom Home Control wall switches are designed for indoor use only.

• Avoid mounting behind large metal objects such as filing cabinets and refrigerators, as this may reduce the radio frequency range.

• Units may be mounted vertically or horizontally.

6.0 Mounting Instructions

LexCom Home Control wall switches suit standard 84 mm centre mounting accessories, such as the PDL 146C and 147.

There are four options for mounting a LexCom Home Control wall switch:

• plasterboard with C-Clip mounting flange

• brick with wall box

• timber with wall box

• direct screwing into plugs.

6.1 C-Clip Mounting

For a plasterboard installation, a LexCom Home Control unit can be mounted using a C-Clip mounting flange. It is very important that the C-Clip is fitted to the plasterboard in the orientation shown in Figure 1 (standard landscape orientation) or Figure 2 (portrait orientation). This is necessary to achieve the best performance from the LexCom Home Control unit. Failure to orientate the C-Clip on the top or left hand side of the mounting hole will reduce the ability of the unit to communicate with other LexCom Home Control units.

Figure 1 – C-Clip mounting in the recommended horizontal orientation


10

Figure 2 – C-Clip mounting in the vertical orientation

6.2 Wall Box Mounting

A LexCom Home Control unit can be fitted to a wall box. This allows it to be easily mounted in a new or existing installation. A wall box may be fitted into suitably prepared masonry, or attached to a noggin fitted between studs in timber stud construction. Refer to the illustrations in Figure 3 and Figure 4.

It is recommended that 147 wall boxes be earthed.

Figure 3 – Wall box mounting in the recommended horizontal orientation


11

Figure 4 – Wall box mounting in the vertical orientation

These installation methods are suggestions only and units must be installed within the local electrical authority guidelines.

Mounting accessories must be fitted a minimum distance of 10 mm back from the finished surface of the wall. When mounting vertically, fit the grid plate to the wall with the release locks at the bottom.

6.3 Installation of the Cover Plate

1) Align cover plate over the buttons on the grid, with the PDL logo at the bottom left (horizontal mounting) or bottom right (vertical mounting).

2) With thumbs positioned over the release slots (Figure 5), press the cover plate onto the grid until it clips into place.

6.4 Removal of the Cover Plate

To remove a LexCom Home Control cover plate:

1) Insert the blade of a small flat head screwdriver into one of the release slots (Figure 5).

2) Lever the cover plate off the grid.

9.0 Power Surges and Short Circuit Conditions

The mains voltage must be limited to the range specified for any mains powered LexCom Home Control unit. Each unit incorporates transient protection circuitry. However, external power surge protection devices should be used to enhance system immunity to power surges.

10.0 Megger Testing

Megger testing of a mains electrical installation that has LexCom Home Control units connected will not damage the units. Since LexCom Home Control units contain electronic components, this should be taken into account when interpreting megger readings.

11.0 Programming Requirements

LexCom Home Control wall switches are programmed via learn mode. Learn mode allows you to link multiple units into a common network. You can create associations between buttons on multiple units, so that a button press on one unit will operate a button on another. Refer to the LexCom Home Control User’s Guide for more information.
