4.0 Installation Considerations
4.1 Location It is important to select the right location to install a C-Bus Neo wall switch. Some considerations include: • Provide easy access to the unit for switching lights and selecting scenes. • Do not obstruct the infrared receiving window. • Choose a location free of water, excess humidity, direct sunlight and heavy dust. • Allow adequate ventilation. • Do not cover the unit. • C-Bus Neo wall switches are designed for indoor use only. • Units may be mounted vertically or horizontally.

Multiple Neo wall switches can be installed on a C-Bus network. These units may be programmed to operate cooperatively or independently of each other. Take care not to mount units where a single IR remote control transmission can be received by multiple units (illustrated in Figure 1). Otherwise, multiple units may trigger a scene, with unpredictable results.

5.0 Mounting Instructions
There are several options for mounting a C-Bus Neo wall switch. You can: • use a wall box (in solid or stud walls) • use a c-clip or mounting flange (in stud/plasterboard walls) • screw directly into wall plugs. ‘A’ Series C-Bus Neo units suit standard 84mm centre mounting accessories, such as the Clipsal 155, 155VH and 157/1. Mounting using a c-clip is shown in Figure 2. ‘E’ Series C-Bus Neo units suit standard 60.3mm centre mounting accessories, such as the Clipsal E157 and E5050MF. Mounting using an E157 Series wall box is shown in Figure 3.

6.0 C-Bus Network Connection
Installation of a Neo unit on the C-Bus network requires connection to the unshielded twisted pair C-Bus cable. Connection should be made using Category 5 data cable, Clipsal catalogue number 5005C305B. Figure 4 and Table 1 identify the connections required between the C-Bus Category 5 cable and a Neo unit. Terminal locations are shown in Figure 5.

7.0 C-Bus Power Requirements
A C-Bus Neo unit draws 22mA from the C-Bus network. Adequate C-Bus power supply units must be installed to support the connected devices. The Network window of a C-Bus Toolkit project provides a summary of a C-Bus network, according to the units added to the database. This can be helpful in determining the power supply requirements of a particular network.
8.0 Megger Testing
Important points when megger testing an electrical installation: • Only megger test when mains cabling is disconnected from C-Bus output units. • Do not megger test the C-Bus cable.
9.0 Programming Requirements
C-Bus Neo wall switches are learn enabled devices. This means you can create relationships between input and output units without a computer (using Learn Mode). Learn Mode allows you to link multiple units into a common network. You can assign a load (such as a light on a dimmer unit), with a controller (such as a Neo wall switch) by touching the two units, one after the other. Refer to the “Quick Start Guide to Programming: C-Bus2 Learn Units” booklet for more information. In a sophisticated installation, some of the basic settings created by Learn Mode may need to be overridden to create a particular effect. The latest C-Bus Toolkit software may be downloaded from the Clipsal website (www.clipsal.com/cis).
