Please read before installing
The WaveLinx Wired panels are designed, built and tested to
strict safety regulations. By following the steps listed below and
elsewhere within this guide, you can ensure safe installation and
operation of these controller units.
• The WaveLinx Wired cabinet must be installed only by a
qualified electrician
• For continued protection against shock hazard replace all
covers and guards after field wiring is completed.
• The installation must comply with the appropriate electrical
codes and regulations in force in your area
• The installation must comply with the appropriate electrical
codes and regulations in force in your area
• WaveLinx Wired is designed for indoor installation and use
only. The units can, however, be used to control appropriately
certified exterior lighting fixtures
• Ensure that all wiring used conforms fully to local
specifications and is sufficiently rated for the installation
Ensure that all modules are firmly seated on the DIN rails before
beginning field wiring. To reset a module simply pull the black
tab(s) away from the DIN rail, push down on the side of the
module with the tab and allow the tabs to snap back into place
• All new wiring must be fully verified before applying power
• The high voltage supply should be fed to the cabinet via an
external isolation breaker with sufficient capacity for the
planned installation.
Remove packaging material and discard before field wiring.
This includes cardboard spacers in small cabinets and plastic
tie wraps used on all SCMA0401 modules.
• Always use at least two people when lifting and mounting
heavy or bulky units.
• Ensure that the supply is fully isolated at an external breaker
before opening doors. Test that power has been removed
before starting to handle conductors.
• Ensure that high voltage and low voltage wiring remains
separate. The design of the cabinets should allow line voltage
field wiring to exit and enter the knockouts provided at the top
of the cabinet while low voltage wiring can exit and enter the
cabinet through knockouts at the bottom or lower sides of the
cabinets.
Important points for consideration
• The cabinets are designed for surface mounting. Please
consult Cooper Lighting Solutions before attempting flush
mounting.
• Use suitable conduits and couplers to link the raceways to
the controller chassis.
• Allow adequate space for future maintenance of the unit.
Do not install in a location that will later be difficult to access.
• Cabinets are designed to be mounted vertically.
