SmartControl 3 Wireless Controller Deployment Guide

009-1518-00 | 180103

6. Connections and Wiring

Use the information below to make both the control and power connections.

6.1. IR Wiring

IR connections are made using a 6-pin screw down plug-in connector supplied with the controller. The stripped wire slips into the rear of the connector

and the screws are used to lock the wire in hole.

IMPORTANT! Read precautions below before proceeding!

- IR emitters must be installed 15 feet (4.6 meters) or less from the equipment being controlled.

- Use of 3rd party flashing IR emitters with Talk Back is not recommended. These types of emitters can draw voltage away from the IR signal

which degrades the IR performance.

To connect wires into terminal block connector:

1. Remove power if power is applied.

2. Pull to remove the connector from the rear of the controller.

3. With a small flat bladed screwdriver, turn the screws on the top of connector

counterclockwise until the silver crimps in the front open enough to slide the wire into the

square slot.

4. Strip the ends of each wire to ¼inch. Using the diagram to the left, insert the stripped

wires into the proper slots.

5. Turn the screws clockwise until the screw tightens around each wire. Tug on the wire a bit

to verify it is installed securely. There should no bare wires protruding from the rear of the

connector.

6. Plug terminal block back into the rear of the controller.

6.2. Power and Network Connection

Connect the provided power supply between the 5V DC connection on the rear of the controller and a surge protected 120 – 240V AC 50/60Hz outlet

receptacle. The SSC-W003I-01 communicates with the network over the local Wi-Fi network so a wired connection between the controller and the

network is not required.

HELPFUL!:No Ethernet connection is needed. The

controller communicates with the Savant Pro

System Host over the local Wi-Fi network.
