DCM127-NX1 Specifications: Supply voltage: 120-277VAC 60Hz Power: 1.5-2.0W Output: 0-10V analog signal settable in 256 increments Operating Temperature Range: -40C to +85C Storage Temperature Range: -40C to +100C Application: Streetlight fixtures 25W-1000W using electronic ballast or driver with 0-10V analog diming control input. Dim command from ROAM portal software is interpreted by DCM127- NX1, which engages a variable analog output signal commanding the fixture driver to vary the overall fixture illumination. Installation: 1. Ensure the fixture is not powered. Merely removing the photocontrol or shorting cap is not sufficient – power must be disconnected ROAM/SSG – A Division of Acuity Brands Dimming Control Module User’s Manual THIS DOCUMENT IS ROAM/SSG PROPRIETARY Page 4/14 from the field wiring terminal block. Verify power is removed using a working VOM. 2. Open the fixture electronics enclosure (process varies depending on the fixture make/model). 3. Install the DCM (with or without custom mounting bracket specific to the fixture – dependant on make/model of fixture). The DCM enclosure has mounting tabs that will accommodate up to a #10 screw. A #8 or #10 screw are recommended with a lock or star washer. Ideally, the mounting bosses or bracket will position the DCM directly underneath the NEMA receptacle when the fixture is closed. 4. Locate the 120-277VAC fixture supply wiring and terminal block. If the fixture wiring adheres to NEC standards, this will be a black/white conductor pair. Verify the intended power source is not switched by the photocontrol (not through the red conductor coming from the NEMA receptacle) rather is supplied directly from the black/white conductor pair coming directly from the field wiring terminal block. ROAM/SSG – A Division of Acuity Brands Dimming Control Module User’s Manual THIS DOCUMENT IS ROAM/SSG PROPRIETARY Page 5/14 This will be the location that supplies power to the DCM. 5. Determine the type of termination needed. 1. If the field wiring terminal block is the only option, then typically ¼” QC male spade terminals are used (different fixtures may use different size terminals though). In this case, the matching female QC spade terminals must be installed (crimped) to the DCM power leads. 2. Some fixtures may provide an auxiliary power connector. In this case, the matching type mating connector must be installed to the DCM power input (black and white) leads. 3. Some fixtures may include tool-less quick connect terminations. These will require no additional hardware installation to support DCM provided there are open conductor slots available on terminations that include the wiring described in #4. 6. Terminate the black and white power supply wires on the DCM to the AC power source as appropriate for the type described above. ROAM/SSG – A Division of Acuity Brands Dimming Control Module User’s Manual THIS DOCUMENT IS ROAM/SSG PROPRIETARY Page 6/14 7. Locate the dimming driver/ballast 0-10V input wires (violet and grey) and determine the type of termination needed. If multiple drivers are present within the fixture, there will be multiple pairs of driver dimming inputs to terminate to the DCM output wires. The DCM can control up to 4 drivers in parallel. 1. Typically, tool-less QC connectors are used, these will require no additional hardware to terminate the DCM control wires. 2. Butt splices are also viable since the DCM output wires will be connecting only to the driver input wires. If used, ensure that the butt splice terminals are appropriately sized for #18AWG wire and have proper insulation for the specific fixture application. 8. Terminate the DCM 0-10V output (grey/violet) wires to the ballast/driver 0-10V input wires (grey//violet) assuring that like colors match. 9. Carefully route and wire tie/anchor all DCM wiring as needed to ensure that it cannot be pinch or stripped when the electronics enclosure or fixture access panel is closed. ROAM/SSG – A Division of Acuity Brands Dimming Control Module User’s Manual THIS DOCUMENT IS ROAM/SSG PROPRIETARY Page 7/14 Also try to avoid situations where the DCM wiring may come into direct contact with extreme heat sources such as LED heat sink assembly, etc. Carefully close the fixture while ensuring that no new wiring is pinched, stripped or disconnected while doing so. 10. DCM installation is complete. Different methods may be employed to electrically test the fixture or proof the wiring at this point. Due to differences in manufacturing processes, the remaining steps are included only as an example of possible fixture tests. 11. An AC power source can again be installed to the fixture at the field wiring terminal blocks if desired for fixture testing. Preferably, this is a switched source and it can be turned off during installation of the wiring to be made safe. 12. Install a shorting cap in the NEMA receptacle and apply power to the fixture. 13. When initially powered, the DCM will start at 50% dim command level (5V present on 0-10V output) and will stay that way for 4 seconds. After the 4 second period has elapsed, it will command the driver/ballast to ROAM/SSG – A Division of Acuity Brands Dimming Control Module User’s Manual THIS DOCUMENT IS ROAM/SSG PROPRIET…

Therefore this information cannot be published. If this information were to be made public it could be used to the disadvantage of the applicant in the marketplace. Sincerely, Sandi McEnery US Tech (Authorized Agent for Strategic Services Group, Inc.) 3505 Francis Circle Alpharetta, GA 30004 PH: 770-740-0717 Fax: 770-740-1508 www.ustech-lab.com

June 1, 2010 ATCB Applications Examiner RE: Limited Modular Approval for Strategic Services Group, FCC ID: UJX-DCM127-001 Dear Application Examiner: Regarding Part 15 Unlicensed Modular Transmitter Approval, the following requirements called out in FCC Public Notice DA 00-1407 are observed: 1) The modular transmitter must have its own RF shielding. This is intended to ensure that the module does not have to rely upon the shielding provided by the device into which it is installed in order for all modular transmitter emissions to comply with Part 15 limits. It is also intended to prevent coupling between the RF circuitry of the module and any wires or circuits in the device into which the module is installed. Such coupling may result in non-compliant operation. The ROAM DCM model DCM127-NM1 is a completely self contained radio which has its own RF shielding on the RF section. No other RF shielding is required or implemented. 2) The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs (if such inputs are provided) to ensure that the module will comply with Part 15 requirements under conditions of excessive data rates or overmodulation. The ROAM DCM model DCM127-NM1 is a completely self contained radio which modulates its own RF transmitter. It controls the data flow to the transmitter section compliant with Part 15 requirements. 3) The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation. This is intended to ensure that the module will comply with Part 15 requirements regardless of the design of the power supplying circuitry in the device into which the module is installed. The module itself has no self-contained power regulator, thus the “Limited” scope of this request. However, the ROAM DCM model DCM127-NM1 is a radio module intended for use in products which will ONLY employ 3.3VDC to the module. Therefore, in all its designs, Strategic Services Group, INC will always ensure that the ROAM DCM model DCM127-NM1 radio receives 3.3VDC to the power input port of the module in order to comply with the scope of this certification. 4) The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna requirements of Section 15.203 and 15.204(c). The antenna must either be permanently attached or employ a “unique” antenna coupler (at all connections between the module and the antenna, including the cable). Any antenna used with the module must be approved with the module, either at the time of initial authorization or through a Class II permissive change. The “professional installation” provision of Section 15.203 may not be applied to modules. For this application the ROAM DCM model DCM127-NM1 employs a permanently attached antenna only. 5) The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration, i.e., the module must not be inside another device during testing. This is intended to demonstrate that the module is capable of complying with Part 15 emission limits regardless of the device into which it is eventually installed. Unless the transmitter module will be battery powered, it must comply with the AC line conducted requirements found in Section 15.207. AC or DC power lines and data input/output lines connected to the module must not contain ferrites, unless they will be marketed with the module (see Section 15.27(a)). The length of these lines shall be length typical of actual use or, if that length is unknown, at least 10 centimeters to insure that there is no coupling between the case of the module and supporting equipment. Any accessories, peripherals, or support equipment connected to the module during testing shall be unmodified or commercially available (see Section 15.31(i)). The ROAM DCM model DCM127-NM1 was tested as a standalone unit 6) The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and, if the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: XYZMODEL1” or “Contains FCC ID: XYZMODEL1.” Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. The Grantee may either provide such a label, an example of which must be included in the application for equipment authorization, or, must provide adequate instructions along with the module which explain this requirement. In the latter case, a copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. The ROAM DCM model DCM127-NM1 consists of a printed circuit board, which is labeled with the FCC identification number. This PCB can be mounted in a host of devices and each device that this PCB utilizes will have the FCC ID number visible to the consumer. 7) The modular transmitter must comply with any specific rule or operating requirements applicable to the transmitter and the manufacturer must provide adequate instructions along with the module to explain any such requirements. A copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. For example, there are very strict operational and timing requirements that must be met before a transmitter is authorized for operation under Section 15.231. For instance, data transmission is prohibited, except for operation under Section 15.231(e), in which case there are separate field strength level and timing requirements. Compliance with these requirements must be assured. The ROAM DCM model DCM127-NM1 comes equipped with embedded firmware that controls these parameters. 8) The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure requirements. For example, FCC Rules in Sections 2.1091, 2.1093 and specific Sections of Part 15, including 15.319(i), 15.407(f), 15.253(f) and 15.255(g), require that Unlicensed PCS, UNII and millimeter wave devices perform routine environmental evaluation for RF Exposure to demonstrate compliance. In addition,…
