You are advised to keep these installation instructions in a safe place. Although a 12 V system is safe, we advise you to have a qualified electrician check the installation. Use The SMART HUB-150 transformer is controlled by the in-lite app, suitable for Android and iOS phones or tablets produced, for example, by Samsung and Apple. The transformer is fitted with an integrated timer and an astronomical clock. You can make use of various options whereby the lamps are activated during the hours of darkness or for a certain time period you can set yourself. You can also manually switch the lamps ON and OFF at any time. Bluetooth Low Energy The transformer connects to the phone or tablet using Bluetooth Low Energy. BLE is a new low-energy form of Bluetooth and is more user-friendly and more secure than, for instance Wi-Fi. Three power lines A total of 150 VA in fixtures can be connected to the SMART HUB-150. Three power cables can easily be connected to the transformer using the Easy-Connect click connectors. With one transformer youre able to create three lighting zones in your outdoor space. Its not necessary to evenly divide the maxiumum of 150 VA among the three lines. Its also possible to use only 1 or 2 of the 3 power lines. www.in-lite.com 03-09-2019 in-lite INSTALLATION MANUAL SMART HUB-150 Safety The external flexible cord of this product cannot be replaced; if the cord is damaged, the product shall be scrapped. When the transformer is connected in a wrong way (short circuit) or it encounters an overload, the Off-led will blink to signal the installer. Above a certain level of overload the transformer will shut down and reset itself. This procedure will loop until the connection has be done right or the load is reduced to an acceptable level. This product has triple protection. Its based on 3 mechanisms:
1. 2. 3. Current monitoring by software, Voltage monitoring after PTCs (3x 9A PTC), Transformer temperature monitoring (thermal resettable fuse inside toroid transformer). The software protection is based on one true-RMS current measurement and two voltage measurements. If the external load is increased, the following levels are reached for SMART HUB-150:
Detection levels calibrated for each product at 100% of nominal load (150 VA). If the current exceeds 120% for a few seconds (>180VA), the off-Led
(around the on/off-button) starts blinking slowly until the load is decreased below 120%. If the current exceeds 140% for a few seconds (>210VA), the relay is switched off and the off-Led starts blinking fast until the on/off-button is activated (reset after overload). If the current exceeds 200% (>300VA), the relay is switched-off immediately until the on/off-button is activated (reset after short-circuit). If the customer resets too many times during overload/short-circuit the 3 PTCs on the connection PCB become hot and the output voltage will become too low, which is measured by the software. The output will be disabled for 1 minute to allow cooling down. Finally, if all of the above protections fail the temperature sensing switch inside the transformer will break the input current if its temperature rise is too high. This mechanism resets automatically after cooling down. The control of the relay is synchronized with the mains input, it switches on and off during the zero crossing off the current to prevent induction voltages
(spikes). If the supply voltage for the control part becomes too low (long power dips) the output will be disabled. After restoring of the mains supply the product will start again in the last known mode. www.in-lite.com 03-09-2019 in-lite INSTALLATION MANUAL SMART HUB-150 IC Statement This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).

Check that the transformer is correctly connected. If so, check the voltage at the electric socket (you can do this using a voltage tester). Check that the low-voltage cable is correctly wired to the transformer. Only a few lamps switch on. Check that the contacts of the fixtures Easy-Lock have correctly pierced the insulation of the cable. Check whether the fixture is properly attached and that it is not defective. Options for laying 12 V cable There are two types of cable plans or methods of laying cables: linear and split. If you have made a lighting plan then making the wiring diagram is just a question of drawing the cable onto the garden design. Follow an imaginary line between the fixtures. Always test the circuit above ground before you bury the cable underneath paving or soil. Option 1: linear set-up Roll out the cable from the transformer into the garden and lead it to the various armatures. The cable can end anywhere and can have the following maximum length:
14/2 cable up to 40 m 10/2 cable up to 80 m Does your lighting plan include fixtures with total power greater than 35 VA?
Always use the 10/2 cable for these situations. Option 2: split set-up Roll out the cable from the transformer into the garden. Using the cable connectors, make one or more branches that you lead to the various fixtures. The maximum length of the branch or branches depends on the place where you install the cable connectors or fixtures. For each branch first calculate the length of cable from the transformer to the relevant cable connector. Subtract this length from the maximum cable length for the cable you are using. The remaining number of metres is the maximum length of the branch. You can make several branches as long as this total does not exceed the maximum cable length:
14/2 cable up to 40 m (Fig. 8A) 10/2 cable up to 80 m (Fig. 8B) Does your lighting plan include fixtures with total power greater than 35 VA?
Always use the 10/2 cable for these situations. www.in-lite.com 03-09-2019 in-lite INSTALLATION MANUAL SMART HUB-150 Installation tips Tip 1 Use plenty of cable for the installation. In that case the cable will have enough length if the garden subsides a little. Tip 2 Insulate the cable ends with caps. You can do this by pulling the end three centimetres of cable apart and putting a cap on each end. You do not need to remove any insulation from the cable. Tip 3 When connecting the fixtures leave plenty of cable from the fixture. There are special extension cables (CBL-EXT CORD) of 1 metre and 3 metres available to increase the distance of the fixture to the main cable. These are easy to install between the mini-connector on the fixture and the mini-connector on the Easy-
Lock. If after reading these instructions you have further question about installing 12 V cable, please contact your dealer. Installing fixtures on 12 V You can easily connect in-lite fixtures to the low-voltage cable using the Easy-
Lock connector (supplied with each fixture). Important: always check the manual for specific instructions for the relevant fixture. See www.in-lite.com. Step 1 Join the Easy-Lock connector to the main cable. a. Clamp the cable duct on top of the main cable. There should be no space left between the cable and the duct. b. Place the cable duct (with the cable at the bottom) in the Easy-Lock connector. c. Tighten the threaded cap on the Easy-Lock connector. This will cause the contacts to be pushed through the insulation on the cable. In tightening the cap, a little gel is applied to the contacts in the Easy-Lock connector. This serves to protect the contacts against moisture. A little gel may possibly come out of the Easy-Lock connector: so after installation (and/or before a meal), wash your hands with soap and water, and avoid the gel coming into contact with your eyes. Step 2 Connect the Easy-Lock to the fixture by connecting the mini-connector. If the lamp does not work correctly, check that the Easy-Lock connector is properly connected to the main cable. Do the same for the mini-connector. Repeat steps 1 and 2. When the fixture is connected to the main cable also check that the contacts of the Easy-Lock connector are not bent. If you have any problems, contact your dealer. www.in-lite.com 03-09-2019
