Setup & Installation (cont’d)

Setup & Installation 1 OFF WARNING OFF Turn off power Find a Suitable Location 1a Lightcloud Installer Application 3a 3 Labeling your device Use these guidelines when installing devices: • If there is a clear line of sight between two Lightcloud devices, they can be placed up to 1000 feet apart. • If the two devices are separated by ordinary drywall construction, try to keep them within 100 ft. of each other. • Brick, concrete and steel construction may require additional Lightcloud devices to go around the obstruction. Lightcloud Gateway <= 100 ft. Add an additional Lightcloud Device to extend network range around corners BRICK, CONCRETE OR METAL WALL DRY WALL OR SIMIL AR When installing devices, it’s important to keep track of their Device IDs, installation locations, panel/circuit #s, dimming function, and any additional notes. To organize this information, use the Lightcloud Installer Application (A) or Device Table (B). Install the LC Installer Application: LC Installer is available for iOS and Android. Scan & Install Lightcloud Devices: Scan each device and assign to a room. It’s recommended that each device is scanned just before or just after being wired so no devices are missed. The more notes that are given, the easier it is to commission the system. Send to RAB: Once all of the devices have been added and organized, submit the information for commissioning. Device Table 3b For setup and maintenance, we provide two Lightcloud Device Tables with the Gateway: one that you can attach to your panel and one to hand off to a building manager. Attach the Device Identification stickers included witheach device to a row, then write in additional information, such as Zone name, Panel/Circuit Number, and whether or not a zone uses dimming.
