Caution: Use extreme caution and follow instructions carefully.
Caution: Bright LEDs behind translucent dome cover. High brightness light is produced
by the LED boards that are placed onto the NICL4 circuit board. Do not stare into the
light when the translucent dome cover is removed.

Description
INSTALLATION GUIDE
Corridor Lamp 4
2 Descri tion
The Corridor Lamp (NICL4) is controlled by the room controller (NIRC4 only). Each room bus of the room
controller (NIRC4) can support up to four NICL4 corridor lamps.
The NICL4 corridor lamp supports up to 4 LED boards (NILD2, NILD4–RGB) behind a translucent dome
cover.
The NICL4 is connected to the room bus with an RJ45 cable using the Ethernet standard (T-568B) color
coding. The corridor lamp has two RJ45 room bus connectors for daisy chaining with the NU-series
peripheral devices (PDs).
The input power (5.5VDC) of the corridor lamp is supplied through the room bus connection.

3 Installation
The NICL4 has an IP40 ingress protection. The areas in which NICL4s are to be installed must be clean, dry,
and weatherproof. The walls on which devices are to be installed should be finished (painted, wall papered,
etc.) before the devices are installed. It is important to have the appropriate length of free cable available at
every location where the NICL4 is to be installed.

4 Im ortant Safety Information
The Corridor Lamp 4 (NICL4) Installation Instructions contain important instructions for use during installa-
tion and maintenance of the NICL4. To ensure a safe working environment during the installation and
operation of the NICL4, the following safety symbols appear throughout this document to indicate
dangerous conditions and important safety instructions.
Caution: Use extreme caution and follow instructions carefully.

5 Mounting
The base of the NICL4 mounts to backboxes using an array of holes that allow for mounting on various EU
and North American-style backboxes. In areas where no backboxes are available, the base can be mounted
directly onto flat wall surfaces.
Caution: To prevent a fire hazard because of dust buildup inside the NICL4, regular
inspection and/or cleaning of the NICL4 is required.
Caution: Take proper measures to avoid spreading dust and other particles when applying
maintenance to an NICL4 that is mounted inside a clinical area.
5.1 Mount the NICL4 base onto a backbox
1. Place the base over the backbox with the spring type holding clip pointing to the left.
2. For EU-style backboxes, loosen the screws so that approximately 5mm extend from the backbox so
that the heads of the screws can pass through the key-hole slots.
For North American-style backboxes, insert the screws (included) though the backplate and into the 2-
gang backbox.
3. Position the base until its top is level.
4. Tighten the screws until they are snug. Do not overtighten.
5. Pull the cables from the backbox through the base hole.

5.2 Mount the Base without a Backbox
When mounting the NICL4 on a drywall without a backbox, mount the base of the NICL4 directly to a flat
wall surface using four screws suitable for the wall type.
Cable wires should enter and leave the device’s housing through the hole in the center of the base, or
through the knockouts at the bottom or right side of the base. Depending on the number of wires entering
the base, you may need to remove a portion of the cable’s jacket to ensure it will fit though the knockout.
When choosing a wall location for an NICL4, consider where the connecting cables are located. If the
connecting cables are run inside the wall, locate the base of the NICL4 over the hole where the cables exit
from the wall. If the connecting cables are run in a channel outside the wall, locate the base above or to the
left of the channel, where the cables exit the channel. The cables should enter through the knockout holes
in the base of the NICL4.
Do not distort or twist the base when mounting it to a wall. If the base is distorted, the NICL4 dome
cover will not fit properly and may fall off.

2. Using a cutter or pliers, carefully remove the excess plastic from the knockouts.
To mount the NICL4 base on a wall
1. Place the base against a flat wall and orient it so that arrow is pointing up and that the base is level.
(See Figure 1. NICL4 Base Orientation and Cutouts, page 6, item 1.) Use a leveling device to check, if
necessary.
2. Make sure that the knockouts are pointing down and to the right. (See Figure 1. NICL4 Base Orientation
and Cutouts, page 6, items 3.)
3. Using the base as a template, mark four holes for the screws using the slotted fitting holes located in
the base.
4. Remove the base spacer and drill holes for the screws that will be used, such as wood, concrete, or
drywall screws, or screws with anchors.
5. Place the base (with the knockouts removed) over the holes, insert the screws, and then tighten.
6. Pull the cables through the knockout holes and follow the directions in the following sections.
Caution: The NICL4 must be mounted in a way that the module is firmly attached to the
background.
