INSTALLATION

WARNING! The module is connected to mains/line voltage! The

installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in

accordance with the local electrical codes!

Turn off power (main circuit breaker) before installation!

This equipment shall be installed in a closed cabinet with no access

to live parts. Only the top enclosure of the equipment (where the

label is affixed) is allowed to be accessed by the operator.

Terminal connections

Every FutureNow module has a wiring diagram on the front to help the installer

when connecting the modules at installation sites. See Figure 2.

The terminal connections of the FNIP-6x2AD are listed in Table 1.

Wiring

A typical wiring diagram is shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3. Wiring diagram

All line inputs must be on the same phase and on the same circuit breaker!

Recommended wire types

Ethernet cable: Twisted pair, CAT5 or better.

Outputs: According to the loads attached to the outputs (current and voltage).

Inputs: A pair of low or high voltage cables. The inputs use low voltage signals.

Mains/line voltage wiring must be kept physically separated from Ethernet and signal

wiring.

Power requirements

The module requires 10V DC –36V DC through terminals 41 and 42.

If local inputs are to be used, 10V DC - 36V DC through terminals 39 - 40 is also

required.

Please make sure that the polarity is correct!

The galvanic isolation of the inputs is only effective when a separate power supply

is used for powering the inputs. The FNIP-6x2AD has separate power input

terminals (39 and 40) for this purpose. If you choose not to use the extra

protection the isolated inputs offer, you can use the same power to supply both

the main circuit and the inputs. In that case, simply connect terminal 39 to terminal

41 and terminal 40 to terminal 42.

Apply 230V 50 Hz AC live on terminals 3, 13 and 23 and neutral on terminal 4 and

14 and 24.

Please make sure that all the three line inputs (terminal 3, 13 and 23) are

on the same phase and on the same circuit breaker! Different phase

connection would create a short circuit and damage the module!

Live on terminal 3 powers output 1 and output 2, live on terminal 13 powers output

3 and output 4, live on terminal 23 powers output 5 and output 6.

The loads should be connected between the outputs of the module

(terminal 2, 5, 12, 15, 22, 25) and a neutral point somewhere outside the

module.

Connecting the Neutral legs of the loads to the module could damage the

module. This will void the warranty.

Ethernet connection

Connect the module to the LAN via the RJ45 Ethernet socket.

Outputs

The FNIP-6X2AD supports both trailing and leading edge dimming modes. It

handles most any lighting load be it resistive, inductive or capacitive, such as

incandescent, line voltage and low voltage halogens with both electronic and iron

core transformers, phase-cut dimmable fluorescents and compact fluorescents.

Phase-cut dimmable line voltage LEDs and LED Drivers must be controlled in

trailing edge dimming mode.

8 | Page

Do not attach any other type of load to the outputs if dimming of the

outputs is enabled! Using an improper load can damage both the attached

device and the FNIP-6x2AD, creating a potential fire hazard!

Only use lights with built-in ballasts/drivers that meet CE emission

standards. For example, spikes generated by certain LED drivers can

damage the dimmer.

Apart from dimming, the FNIP-6x2AD can also be used to switch (on/off only) non-

dimmable loads that don’t exceed the specifications.

As a precaution, dimming of the outputs is disabled by default. If you use dimmable

loads, you must enable dimming for each channel.

Local inputs

For each output there is a local input to allow for manual operation. If you do not

wish to use local inputs, this section may be skipped.

Connect dry contacts (pushbuttons, momentary switches, relay contacts, etc.) or

open collector transistor outputs across the appropriate input terminals and the

input common terminal. Voltage for the inputs is supplied by the module itself.

WARNING! Avoid supplying voltage on these terminals!

All input ports are galvanically isolated to protect the unit against unwanted effects

of ground loops, overvoltage or misconnections.

The galvanic isolation is only effective when an independent power supply is used

for powering the inputs. The FNIP-6x2AD has separate power input terminals for

this purpose. See section “Power Requirements” if you don’t want to use two

separate power supply units.

To assure an additional level of safe and reliable operation, the inputs are also

software protected against the effects of noise spikes that usually occur when

heavy inductive loads (motors, fans, etc.) are switched nearby.

Three-way switches can be implemented by simply connecting multiple

momentary switches in parallel.

Status LED indicators

In order to make installation and debugging easier, communication and channel

states are displayed via LEDs.

Use the board layout drawing in Figure 4. to locate the status LEDs.

Figure 4. The board layout of the FNIP-6x2AD

Input status LEDs

Each input has a dedicated status LED that illuminates solid green when the

corresponding input is activated.

Run LED

When on, it indicates that the Central Unit of the module works properly.

Input power LED

When illuminated, it indicates that the input power is present.

Communication LEDs

Con LED

The Con LED is on when the module is connected to the Ethernet network.

Act LED

Indicates communication via Ethernet

Status LEDs

St LED

It is illuminated while the boot loader is active and it is blinking during a firmware

upload procedure. This should only happen during hardware resets and in the

second phase of firmware updates.

AC LED

Indicates the presence of the 50/60Hz line voltage

Er LED

The Er LED turns on if the module gets overheated. This LED will not turn off

until the module is power cycled or the temperature of the heat sink drops below

40°C.

Output status LEDs

Each output has a dedicated status LED that illuminates solid red when the

corresponding output is activated. In case of overcurrent the corresponding LED

starts flashing. The error condition resets when the output is turned on again.
