Network Connection Types (continued)

USB: A second PC Interface model (SLC5500PCU) has one USB port for use with •

newer computers that lack a serial port.

NOTE: Install USB drivers from the C-Bus Toolkit “File” menu.

Ethernet: The Ethernet Network Interface (SLC5500CN) has one labeled Ethernet •

port for connecting a computer to the C-Bus network.

C-BUS CABLE

Types

Unshielded twisted pair Category 5 Local Area Network (Cat-5 UTP LAN) cable,

maximum current 2 A. Cat-5E UTP and Cat-6 UTP are also acceptable.

Solid: typically used for long runs that are infrequently moved•

Stranded: typically used for ‘patch leads,’ or connections that may be frequently •

connected/disconnected

Connectors

To Positive and Negative Terminals

Positive terminal: Blue and orange wires•

Negative terminal: Blue-white and orange-white wires•

To terminate each wire pair, use bootlace ferrules or twist bare ends of wires together

neatly (no frayed ends). Do not solder ends, it can cause cold ﬂow and result in a bad

connection.

To a DIN Unit C-Bus (RJ-45) Port

Use an RJ-45 type connector appropriate for the type of wire being used—solid and

stranded Cat-5 have speciﬁc types of connectors and connection crimp tools. Proper

connections require the correct connector and tool for each type of wire. Using the

wrong combination tool/connector can crush the wire, causing a faulty connection that

will be hard to diagnose.

Remote Overrides

The green, green-white, brown, and brown-white Cat-5 wires are available for “Remote

Override” connections. Remote Overrides provide a manual override of C-Bus

operations by locking an output unit’s channels ON or OFF. Remote Override wire pairs

are connected to C-Bus negative via a mechanical switch.

Remote Override ON: Green and green-white wires•

Remote Override OFF: Brown and brown-white wires•

MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SCENES &/OR GROUPS/KEYPAD

Any one Neo or Saturn unit (including DLT variants) can have one Scene per button

(maximum depends on the number of buttons). Each unit can use up to 40 Group

Addresses total. Any one Scene can have up to 40 Group Addresses.

Example: An 8-Button Neo Keypad can have 1 Scene with up to 40 Group Addresses,

or 2 Scenes with 20 Group Addresses each, or any permutation consistent with the 8

Scene/40 Group Address rule.
