The LON Automation Interface Module provides a com-munications link between a Greengate lighting panel and a system that uses the LON Protocol. This allows a LON based system to have the ability of turning On or Off relays or groups of relays within a Greengate lighting panel as well as get status from relays or switches. The LON Automation Interface Module is custom configured for your job site’s needs as to what relays and groups it will control or monitor.

Before You Begin

The LON AIM uses an Echelon SLTA-10,TP/FT-10 device to communicate with the LON system.The LON AIM ships without the motherboard installed in the enclosure unless the desired programming has been given to the factory prior to shipment.As each site is pre-configured, it will be necessary to provide technical support with the necessary programming informa-tion to ship the motherboard to the site. Please see the end of this document to obtain the paperwork that must be filled out for the configuration of this unit. The unit will be pre-configured for the connection informa-tion for your site based on the information provided to us. A system integrator mapping table will be provided.Each LON AIM unit has the capability of commanding and monitoring a total of 1200 points. Please note that your AIM unit has been preconfigured for your site’s panel and desired points to command and monitor. Please refer to the systems integrator mapping table for the information on how the LON network variables relate to the Greengate lighting control points.This document describes the installation process for the AIM unit. Questions should be referred to Cooper ControlsTechnical Support Department.

Getting Started

1. Do not discard these installation instructions. Please keep for future reference and operation information.

2. Use only as intended and at the listed voltage.3. All installation and service must be performed by qualified

personnel or service technicians.4. Install in accordance with the National Electrical Code and

any other codes which may apply.5. Installation and wiring information contained in this

document is based on industry-accepted standards and practices. If conflicts exist between these instructions and any applicable codes or ordinances, please contact Cooper Controls before proceeding with the installation.

Mounting the AIM Unit

1. Choose a dry location convenient within 6 feet of the Greengate lighting panel that also has access to the LON network.

2. Mount the enclosure on a firm surface using the two top predrilled mounting holes. Drill additional holes as needed.

3. Low voltage network connections for the Greengate Network and the BACnet connection to the AIM enclosure should be done through conduit. Bring wiring in conduit through the left, top or upper right side. The lower right corner of the enclosure is reserved for the high-voltage power connection.

4. Remove all cuttings and dirt before providing power to the AIM unit.

Wiring the AIM to the Greengate Network

Wiring Notes1. All low-voltage wiring must be run in separate conduit from

line-voltage wiring.2. Disconnect power from the AIM. 3. Connect the provided RJ11 to 5 position terminal block cable

to the RS-232 com port on the lighting panel. Connect the pre-wired 5 position terminal block to the Port S2 position on AIM motherboard.

Figure 2: Greengate LiteKeeper Panel Wiring to the AIM

Wiring the AIM to the LON Network

The AIM unit comes preconfigured with an Echelon SLTA-10 TP/FT-10 device for interface with the LON system.

Wiring Notes1. All low-voltage wiring is Class 2 wiring.2. All low-voltage wiring must be run in separate conduit from

line-voltage wiring.3. Test all low-voltage wiring for shorts to AC ground before

connection to the AIM unit.4. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wire type

and distance limitations for your LON system.

Connecting the LON Network to the AIM1. Disconnect power from the AIM. 2. Check the all wiring for shorts and grounds prior to connec-

tion to the AIM unit.3. Connect the LON connection to the SLTA-10 device

NETWORK terminal block according to LON wiring standards.

Please ensure the bit-switches on the SLTA-10 device are set as follows: 1, 6 & 8 are in the up position.

Powering the AIM Unit

1. Connect the neutral wire to the wire with the appropriate color coding for the voltage being used: White/Black=120VAC2. Connect the solid black wire to the dedicated branch circuit that is powering the transformer.

LED indicator lights

The AIM motherboard and the Greengate Interface board both have LED lights that can help with diagnostics. These are explained below.

AIM Unit LEDsThe AIM unit has LEDs for diagnostics in several locations on the board. This includes the LEDs on the front casing of the AIM unit as well as some LEDs next to various ports on the board and an LED display that may indicate error codes. Please refer to the following drawing that indicates the location of the LEDs and their functions.
