Step 10: Connect Multiple Control Units — Optional
If your lighting system has multiple control units, connect them using PELV (Class 2: USA)
cabling as described here .
1. Daisy-chain the PELV (Class 2: USA) cabling to terminal 1, terminal 2, terminal 3, and terminal 4
on all control units and wallstations .
NOTE: To power more than three wallstations from one control unit, install an external 12 V
or 15 V
power supply. Refer to page 10 for instructions.
2. Since each control unit has its own power supply, terminate the terminal 2 connection so that:
• Each control unit supplies power to a maximum of three wallstations .
• Each wallstation receives power from only one control unit .
WARNING! Make sure no bare wire is exposed after making connections . The recom-
mended installation torque is 3 .5 in .-lbs . (0 .4 N•m) for PELV (Class 2: USA) connections .
System Maximums: Up to 8 Control Units and 16 Wallstations
and 8 Shade Controllers

Special Mounting Considerations
Wallbox Mounting and Spacing
When mounting multiple control units or interface devices, be sure to follow spacing and
ventilation requirements to ensure proper operation .
• All control units MUST be mounted in a standard
U .S . wallbox . (For mounting procedures, refer to
page 5 .)
• All control units, power boosters, fluorescent
interfaces, and electronic low-voltage interfaces MUST
have 4 1/2 in . (110 mm) of space above and below
the faceplate to dissipate the heat caused by normal
operation . Allow 1 in . (25 mm) for faceplate overhang
on all sides .
CAUTION! GRAFIK Eye 3000 Series control
units and interface devices, such as NGRX-PB,
dissipate heat when operating . Obstructing
these units can cause malfunction to both the
control unit and the interface device if ambient
temperature does not remain between 32–104 °F
(0–40 °C) .
