PII-RDS2000RadioLink ScenePoint Dimmer

Installation 1061 SOUTH 800 EAST • OREM, UTAH 84097 • TELEPHONE 801.229.2800 • FACSIMILE 801.224.0355 • www.vantagecontrols.com Overview The Vantage ScenePoint with RadioLink is a wall box dimmer that communicates to the Vantage Control System via a radio transceiver. It is available in 1-4 load configurations that can be mounted respectively in 1-4 gang back boxes. It is powered via the local line feed. Before the dimmer is programmed, or if communication is lost, the dimmer functions in default mode as an independent dimmer. Once a button is programmed it can perform any operation that a standard station supports controlling its own or other loads. Any load on the dimmer may be controlled by any other keypad, IR input, RS-232 or timed event. It supports up to eight keypad buttons on a four gang station, and an optional internal IR receiver.

For new projects it is recommended that firmware and software be kept to the most current release. Load Ratings and Types In multiple gang stations no single load may exceed 5 amps, i.e., a two gang station may have one load at 400 Watts (3.3 amps) and the second load at 600 Watts (5 amps) for a total of 1000 Watts.

The station is shipped in “DIMMING MODE”. To change the default mode to RELAY change the Power Profile to Relay in the Software. The Relay Mode change will not take place until the system is programmed and the RF station is on line. Installation Installation of Vantage products should be performed or supervised by a Certified Vantage Installer. Turn the circuit breaker off and make sure no voltage is present where the ScenePoint Dimmer is mounted. Damage caused by failure to disconnect power may void warranty and is a risk to the installer. Connect the wires as follows: Black to LINE, White to NEUTRAL, Red to LOAD, Green to structure’s safety GROUND. Before turning the circuit breaker on, check to see that all connections are correct (In particular, check to see that the correct wires have been connected to “Line In” and “Load Out”). Minimum Back Box Dimensions Number of Gangs Minimum Back Box Dimensions 1 2.80”h x 1.80”w x 2.5”d 2 2.80”h x 3.60”w x 2.5”d 3 2.80”h x 5.40”w x 2.5”d 4 2.80”h x 7.20”w x 2.5”d With these dimensions most standard back boxes that have the receiving threads for the Dimmer mounting screw inside the box will be adequate. Most back boxes where the receiving threads are outside the box will be too small. Mud Rings If mud rings are specified on a job it is important to test the mud rings for proper fit. Two gang mud rings, in particular, run substantially smaller than back boxes and some brands are not large enough for the station. The only solution is to test the fit first. No Neutral Installation In its standard configuration, ScenePoint with RadioLink requires a Neutral connection to operate. If operation without Neutral is required, a “NO NEUTRAL” station must be specified when designing the project in QLink. “NO NEUTRAL” stations are configured to operate without a neutral connection and are shipped from the factory without a neutral connection. When installing a “NO NEUTRAL” station, a minimum 50 Watt load must be connected to the first gang. “NO NEUTRAL” stations are pre-programmed to allow the load on the first gang to be dimmed from 0% to a maximum of 93% of full on. Relay mode must not be used in the first gang of a “NO NEUTRAL” station. RadioLink ScenePoint Dimmer — Rx 3-Way Switch Application The RadioLink Satellite ScenePoint Dimmer station and Satellite keypad (part numbers: RDSS1-(X) & SK-1) are available from Vantage for 3-way applications. Also, a standard RadioLink ScenePoint Dimmer Station may be used in any 3-way application. Installing a standard RadioLink ScenePoint Dimmer station - as a 3-way switch - is done the same way as a standard installation with the exception that the Red (Load Out) wire is not connected and is properly capped-off. Station Set Up in Software InFusion: First select the room, then click on Vantage Objects in the Object Explorer and expand Stations, Radio…

CONFIDENTIALITY REQUEST LETTER Vantage Controls 1061 South 800 East Orem, UT 84097 Phone: (801) 229-2800 FAX: (801) 224-0355 FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, MD 21046 Subject: Request for Confidentiality FCC ID: PII-RDS2000 To Whom it May Concern: In accordance with §0.459 of CFR 47, Vantage Controls requests confidentiality for the following items: 1. Block Diagram 2. Schematic Diagrams 3. Theory of Operation These items contain detailed system and equipment description and related information about the product which Vantage Controls considers to be proprietary, confidential and a custom design which otherwise would not be released to the general public. Since this design is a basis from which future technological products will evolve, Vantage Controls also feels that this information would be of benefit to its competitors, and that the disclosure of the information in these exhibits would give our competitors an unfair advantage in the market. Best regards, Jared T. Lemke Design Engineer

RF Exposure/Environmental Evaluation The device (FCC ID: PII-RDS2000) being submitted by Vantage Controls is a wall switch that incorporates a low power frequency hopping spread spectrum transceiver. It operates in the 902-928 MHz ISM band. It has a monopole type antenna integrated into the device. The following calculations determine the minimum separation between the user and the antenna to meet the requirements for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) outlined in CFR 47 Section 1.310. CFR 47 Section 1.310 specifies (A) Limits for Occupational/Controlled Exposures and (B) Limits for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure. The limits in (B) are the most stringent, so these are what we will use in our calculation. From CFR 47 Section 1.310 Table 1 (B): For 300-1500 MHz the limit is given in mW/cm 2 and is calculated from the following equation: Frequency/1500 For our frequency range (902-928 MHz) the worst case limit comes out to 0.6mW/cm 2 . The MPE distance will be calculated for the worst case of a 100% transmitter duty cycle, transmitter power of 15dBm (32mW), and 2.1dBi (1.6) antenna gain. For an isotropic radiator, the surface area of a sphere can be used to determine the area over which the transceiver energy is radiated. Surface area of a sphere = 4* π*radius 2 In the case where there is an antenna gain, the worst-case energy density is increased by the antenna gain. In this case, the exposure level can be calculated as follows: Exposure Level(mw/cm 2 ) = (P*C*G)/(4*π*D 2 ) P (Transmitter output power) = 32mW G (Antenna Gain) = 1.6 D (Distance) = 20cm C (Duty Cycle) = 1 For our transmitter: Exposure Level(mw/cm 2 ) = (32*1*1.6)/(4*π*20 2 ) = 0.0102mW/cm 2 This is less than the limit of 0.6mW/cm 2 . Therefore, the Vantage Rx (FCC ID: PII- RDS2000) complies with the FCC RF Exposure/Environmental Evaluation requirements. It should be noted that the above calculations are based on absolute worst-case scenarios that will rarely occur in normal use. This is a Time-Division-Duplex system, so the transmitter duty cycle will never be 100.

They are designed to be retrofitted in place of a standard wall switch to allow central control of lighting for a building. The transceiver operates in the 902-928 MHz unlicensed ISM frequency band and uses Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum technology. The Rx series comes in several basic configurations depending on the number and type of loads to be controlled and the number of buttons and LEDs. The configurations all use the exact same transceiver. The components are the same and PCB layout of the transceiver is the same for all configurations. The only differences between devices are the number of buttons, LEDs and load-controls. The number of loads determines how many gangs the dimmer will require. One load requires a 1-gang station, two loads require a 2-gang station and so on up to four gangs. There is also a version for 3-way switches, and versions that use relays instead of dimmer circuits. The basic configurations are shown below: Ordering Code Description RD1 1-Gang 600W dimmer, 4 or 6 buttons and LEDs RD2 2-Gang 600W dimmer, 4 or 6 buttons and LEDs RD3 3-Gang 600W dimmer, 4 or 6 buttons and LEDs RD4 4-Gang 600W dimmer, 4 or 8 buttons and LEDs RS1 1-Gang 600W 3-way dimmer, 4 or 6 buttons and LEDs RP2 2-Gang, 1200W dimmer, 4 or 6 buttons and LEDs RR1 1-Gang, relay, 4 or 6 buttons and LEDs RDR1 1-Gang, dual relay, 4 or 6 buttons and LEDs This report covers the transmitter that is required to meet the requirements of FCC Part 15, Subpart C.
