LM206 Product Guide Global Leader in Integrated Room Automation Systems Copyright 2009 INNCOM L206LampDimmer ProductGuide 1. Overview The L206 Series lamp dimmer is a central component in the INNCOM Integrated Room Automation System (IRAS). The L206 lamp controllers dims up to a 100W incandescent or CFL loads and can wirelessly communicate with the IRAS by way of the S-Series, Designer Series, or Glass Series products using Infrared (IR) or radio frequency (RF) technologies. 2. Application The L206 Series lamp dimmer can be used with a wide variety of floor and desk lamp fixtures. The L206 lamp dimmer is designed to be used in many different lighting circuit topologies and room lighting designs. In modest application the L206 can control a single lamp in the guestroom as a member of an occupancy welcome scene or single lighting mood. In high-end applications, multiple L206 lamp dimmers can be used to participate in several lighting moods using up to 255 dimming levels to achieve the highest level of comfort and control. When designing the L206 lamp dimmer with an IR transceiver for a particular lamp application, note that the lamp shade should not cover the IR window located around the center of the product. This ensures that there are no physical barriers that would impede the wireless communications to the IRAS. When using the L206 lamp dimmer with the RF transceiver, the lamp shade can cover the entire product body. Note also that the L206 lamp dimmer will raise the total height of the lamp by as much as 1. This will move the center of gravity of the entire assembly higher, which may make some lamps less stable. To determine if the L206 lamp dimmer is suitable for a particular type of lamp holder, a tip stability test should be performed on a lamp with the L206 installed. The L206 is designed to dim several different types of loads at 115VAC for applications in the US and at 220VAC for international applications. Please see Table 1 for specific types and ratings.

InstallationRequirements Page 3 of 6 Harp Holder IR Window Rotary Switch Wiring harness Figure3.L206LampDimmer CAUTION: To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not install the L206 to control a receptacle, a motor-operated appliance, a fluorescent lighting fixture, or a transformer-supplied appliance. Installing this product requires a trained, experienced service technician. 4.1 Mounting The module mounts on a 1/8" (3 mm) pipe thread and will accommodate a thread length from 3/16" to " (4 mm to 12 mm). If the surface against which the bottom rests in the lamp is smaller than 1" (32 mm) in diameter, a washer with a maximum outside diameter of 5/8" (16 mm) and a thickness of 1/16"
(2 mm) is required between the housing and that surface. The reason is that the threaded part of the module is indented below the bottom surface. Failure to use this washer (or a nut with a similar dimension) will cause the module to wobble or to mount at an angle. The module will accommodate a standard two-point harp of medium duty construction. The opening in the harp holder accommodates a flat harp of up to 1/8" (3 mm) in thickness. The distance from the bottom of the module base to the base of the lamp is 2" (70 mm). This is 1" (44 mm) longer than the standard Edison Lamp Socket. For best remote control performance, the shade should not extend lower than 1" (38 mm) above the base of the module. 277 West Main Street Niantic, CT USA 860-739-4468 www.inncom.com Page 4 of 6
[L206 Series] Product Guide 5. LinePowerConnections CAUTION The L206 lamp dimmer is intended for INDOOR USE ONLY. Separation of Class-1 and Class-2 Circuits must be observed. Use copper conductors ONLY. 5.1 NoteforwiringtheRotaryswitch Figure4.L206wiring Unlike conventional lamps, the manual rotary switch should not be wired in series with the incoming power. The L206 lamp dimmer needs to be powered at all times in order to respond to the wireless control signals coming from the IRAS, even if the load is turned of locally. 5.2 WiringtheL206LampDimmer The wires connecting the L206 lamp dimmer to the incoming wire harness from the lamp base are labeled as described below. Using wire nuts, make the following connections:
Black wire: Connect to phase and 1 lead of the rotary switch White wire: Connect to neutral Yellow wire: Connect to the second lead of the rotary switch 6.
