Connect Inter-processor link: The inter-processor link
5.
is used for communication between HomeWorks
Processors. Connect control wiring to the inter-processor
link (link 2), if required. Do not connect the +15 V termi-
nal (terminal 2, see Figure 6). If this processor is to be
the first or last processor in the daisy chain, attach one of
the LT-1 link terminators provided across the MUX and
MUX (terminals 3 and 4, see Figure 6). (If LT-1 termina-
tors are unavailable, a 1/2 W resistor between 100 and
150 Ohms may be placed across terminals 3 and 4 to
provide termination).
6.
Connect RPM harness and Module Interface link: If
this processor is going to control Remote Power Modules
(RPMs) installed in the same panel as the processor,
plug in the RPM harness' four-pin connectors to each of
the RPMs.
If this processor is going to control RPMs in additional
Remote Power Panels, connect the Module Interface
communication link (Link 1) to the processor. Only
Module Interfaces that are assigned to this processor in
the HomeWorks
Illumination
®
nected. Do not connect the +15 V terminal (terminal 2) to
Module Interfaces. If the Module Interface link has a
cable length of 50 feet (15 m) or more, an LT-1 link termi-
nator must be installed across MUX and MUX terminals
(terminals 3 and 4) of the last Module Interface. Refer to
HWI-MI- instruction sheet.
Note - Links 4, 5, 6, and 8 are configurable for use
as Keypad, GRAFIK Eye
links. Link 8 may also be configured as a Hybrid
Repeater Link. These links are configured by the
HomeWorks Illumination Software.
Connect GRAFIK Eye links: If GRAFIK Eye preset dim-
7.
ming controls or Wallbox Power Modules (WPMs) are to
be controlled by this processor, connect the communica-
tion wires to link(s) 4, 5, 6, or 8 as configured in the
HomeWorks Illumination Software. Do not connect the
+15 V terminal (terminal 2) at any time.
8.
Connect Keypad links: For keypads or keypad link
devices (e.g. HWI-CCO-8) that are to be controlled by
this processor, connect the communication wires to
link(s) 4, 5, 6, or 8 as configured in the HomeWorks
Illumination Software.
Connect Hybrid Repeater links: For Hybrid Repeaters
9.
that control wireless devices, connect the communication
wires to Link 8 as configured in the HomeWorks
Illumination Software. Do not connect the +15 V terminal
(terminal 2) if the Hybrid Repeaters on this link are pow-
ered at the repeaters by plug-in adapters.
10. Connect external input closures (if applicable). The
processor accepts three low-voltage dry contact closures.
Important: Use only the terminal block connector that is
provided with the processor.
When using the input closures: Verify compatibility of
external devices. The input closures are intended for use
with devices that provide dry contact closures. The inputs
may be used with ground-referenced, solid-state closures
if the closures have an on-state saturation voltage of less
than 2 V
and an off-state leakage of less than 50 µA.
Dry contact or solid-state closures must be capable of
switching 15 V
at 10 mA. The closures must stay in the
closed or open states for at least 40 msec in order to be
2
Software should be con-
TM
/WPM, H48/Q96, or D48
®
recognized by the processor. If there is any question as
to whether the contact closure device is compatible with
these specifications, contact the manufacturer of that
device.
The Contact Closure Input Status LEDs will illuminate
when a contact closure is closed on the corresponding
input.
11. Connect power. Plug the Power Input Harness (black
and white wires) into the Power Feed Harness that
comes pre-installed in the panels. The HomeWorks
processor has battery-backed memory and timeclock
devices. The battery provides power to these devices
during power outages and other temporary power inter-
ruptions. In vacation homes and other residences which
are not continuously occupied, the HomeWorks proces-
sor MUST be powered by a circuit that is never turned off
even when the residence is unoccupied.
12. Turn power ON. Restore the supply breaker to the ON
position. Turn the processor power switch ON (see
Figure 4, page 4).
13. Verify operation.
a. Confirm that the unit is powered. Check that the
"PWR" LED is ON (see Figure 5, page 4). If it is not
ON, check the processor power switch and supply
breaker positions to confirm they are ON.
b. Check if any links are shorted. Check if the "Link
Short" LED is ON (see Figure 5, page 4). This
indicates that there is a short somewhere in the
control wiring for links 4, 5, 6, or 8, between the
+15 V terminal (2) and the Common terminal (1).
Remove the terminal blocks one link at a time to
identify the shorted link. The "Link Short" LED will turn
OFF when the shorted link is removed.
c. Additional information is available from the
HomeWorks Dealer/Installer webpage.
14. Connect Serial Links (if applicable). Connect a stan-
dard DB9 male connector to the Link 3 and/or the Link 7
RS232 connector on the processor for system program-
ming or communications with other equipment. A straight
through cable (not a null modem) is required for program-
ming the system via the serial link using a laptop. If the
processor is connected to a modem, a null modem
adapter is needed between the processor and the
attached modem. See Figure 7, page 6 for serial port
configuration details.
15. Connect Ethernet Link (if applicable). Connect a stan-
dard RJ45 connector to the Link 9 Ethernet jack on the
processor for system programming or communications
with other equipment. A crossover cable is required for a
direct connection to a computer. If plugging in to a
network, a standard cable is used (See Figure 8,
page 6). The orange LED (ACT) will illuminate when
there are any Ethernet signals being transmitted or
received on Link 9. The green LED (CON) will illuminate
when the Link 9 is connected to a hub/switch/router or a
computer. For help configuring a laptop to talk to the
processor, see Help in the HomeWorks Illumination
Software.
16. Connect Manual Override for processor with an inte-
gral Module Interface. The Manual Override Scene (as
programmed in the HomeWorks Illumination Software) is
activated for all RPMs connected to the Module Interface
by closing the Manual Override switch that is wired
