Introduction
The iLight 24 channel DMX source
controller is designed to provide control
of any DMX512 controllable device. This
product is of particular use for controlling
DMX LED colour changing units and
entertainment devices.
Each channel can be assigned a
DMX channel from within the iLight
programming software. The SCD24
can be controlled like any other iLight
Source Controller using any of the iLight
user interfaces to activate scenes and
sequences.

Mounting
The unit is provided with four 6mm diameter fixing holes for wall mounting.
The mounting holes can be accessed by undoing the four screws on the front cover and
removing it.
The unit should be installed in a dry ventilated location, where ambient temperature and
humidity are within the operating temperature of the unit.
The unit has ventilation slots on its sides to allow convection cooling and under no
circumstances should these be blocked.
Recommended minimum clearance around the unit is 100mm each side of the unit and 50mm
above and below the unit if trunking with a depth greater than 50mm is used.
Connecting Mains Supply
This unit requires a nominal 230V single phase supply (Live, Neutral and Earth) with 1A capability.
A separate isolator and secure mains earth are required.
All wiring should be completed in accordance with local wring regulations.
The unit is supplied with a knockout for mains cable entry. An appropriate cable gland should be
fitted to the knockout hole provided to protect the mains cable from damage.
Ensure all mains connections are fully tightened and lock-washers used where supplied.
DMX Connections
The SCD24 has 24 channels
of DMX that can be
configured via
the iLight
programming software
.
Connections are made via the
4-way 2 part terminal block.
Connections are:

Network Termination
Network Connections
IMPORTANT NOTE: Connecting a mains potential cable to the iLight Network terminals is likley
to damage the unit and others connected, and invalidate warranty.
Termination On = Jumper across upper pins
Termination Off = Jumper across lower pins
IMPORTANT: Ensure jumper is in the off
position for all devices other than those at the
the end-of-line.
Applies 120Ω resistor to the iCAN network.
Required at each end of the network cable run
only.
Function Network Cable Colour
0V Black
CAN L White
Shield Silver
CAN H Blue
+12Vdc Red
Connections for the iCAN network are located on the CPU card at the bottom of the unit with
the cover removed.
There are two 5-way green connectors for the network. Either of
these may be used (as an in and an out) or a single used with the
network cable doubled-up to it.

Service Switches and LEDs
These switches and LEDs are located at the base of the unit.
The two service switches on the source controllers are used for the following:
• Entering Diagnostic Mode.
• Putting the Source Controller in
override mode.
• Sending a message to identify
the device on the network.
• Sending a message to identify
the device on the network.
The LEDs indicate the following:
• Normal operation:
Steady green LED blinking
1 x per second.
Red LED off.
• Message transmission and
receipt indicated by red LED
flashing for duration of data
transmission.
• Override status: Both LEDs
flashing together or just red
flashing and green off.
ICAN network error status will occur
when a Source Controller is not
connected to an iCAN network for
any reason. Once either connected
to a network of one or more other
devices which are powered the error
status will be removed. It is still
possible to enter Diagnostic mode
if a Source Controller is in iCAN
network error status.

Override Mode
Placing the unit into override mode
allows for testing of the Source
Controller outputs regardless of how
the unit is currently programmed. This is
useful for testing power to circuits prior
to the system being commissioned or
for fault finding where it can be used to
test if there is an issue with the Source
Controller output(s) should this be
suspected.
When the Source Controller is placed
into override mode it will no longer
respond to commands sent over the
iCAN network.
Override mode can also be used to
restore power to outputs if control is
lost or termporarly removed to allow
lighting to remain on until control is
restored.
NOTE: Override mode only affects the
outputs on the Source Controller on
which it is activated.
To exit diagnostic / override status
follow the steps shown. If power is
cycled to the Source Controller then this
will also take the unit out of override
mode and it will start up in the default
running status.
