S YSTEM INSTALLATION GUIDE Redwood System Installation Guide 1.3 Components Redwood components are described briefly below. For more details on each component, refer to the specifications in the second half of this document. 4 Component Location Function Redwood Director is a 1U rack mountable Linux-Powered appliance that manages a cluster of Redwood Engine Wiring closet or central office It provides unified management, control and reporting on a cluster of more than 8 Redwood Engines.
S YSTEM INSTALLATION GUIDE Component Location Function Redwood Sensor & Adapter Enclosure Installed over Redwood Adapter or Sensor Sites without a drop ceiling may utilize this Enclosure to be placed around the standard Adapter Card or Sensor. Redwood Manager control software Accessible via web browsers that can connect to the Redwood subnet Enables commissioning, the management of lighting policies, reporting, and maintenance tracking.
S YSTEM INSTALLATION GUIDE Redwood System Installation Guide Component Location Function Redwood Patch Cord without RJ45 for connecting engines to punch down panels Located on rack units where Engines are installed Connects Engine outputs to standard punch down panels for category cabling installs. Category cable (not provided) Connects Engines to adapters, gateways, and wall switches Transmits data and low-voltage power to Redwood compatible fixtures, Redwood Gateways and Redwood wall switches.
S YSTEM INSTALLATION GUIDE 2 Power Requirements and Recommendations 2.1 Low-Voltage Cabling Requirements An LED Gateway or Adapter connected to a fixture requires 1, 2, or 3 ports from the Engine to power the fixture, depending on the power requirement specifications of the fixture. A port can be connected with either standard category cabling, or with 18 AWG low-voltage wiring, comprised of stranded or solid wire.

S YSTEM INSTALLATION GUIDE 2.2.1 Redwood Director Power Requirements The Redwood Director requires a 100V–240V AC power input, 50–60Hz. Specifications are listed below. Model Number DIR-1G www.redwoodsystems.com Operating Voltage 100-200 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 4/2-1.
S YSTEM INSTALLATION GUIDE Redwood System Installation Guide 3 Redwood Platform Installation This section describes the installation of the components of the Redwood Building-Performance Lighting Platform. 3.1 Redwood Director & Engine Location Redwood Director is used when there is a cluster of more than 8 Redwood Engines or if the Redwood Open Application Framework, which provides two-way communication and integration with other external systems, will be used as part of the deployment.
S YSTEM INSTALLATION GUIDE IMPORTANT NOTE It is up to the electrical contractor to design the EMERGENCY LIGHTING solution. See the section on Emergency Lighting in this document to learn more about the Universal Gateway – Outage Relay. www.redwoodsystems.
S YSTEM INSTALLATION GUIDE Redwood System Installation Guide 4 Install Components Once the cabling has been laid out you are ready to begin the overall installation. Detailed installation instructions are available for each of the Redwood components. A short summary is included below. 4.
S YSTEM INSTALLATION GUIDE IMPORTANT NOTES • • 4.3 The Engine requires 6 inches or more clearance for the fans to operate properly. Ensure that air vents are not blocked and that the conditions support the maximum ambient operation temperature listed in the Engine Specification Sheet. Install Redwood Director Director is a 1U rack mountable system and can be installed in a standard server rack via supplied rackmounting brackets.
S YSTEM INSTALLATION GUIDE Redwood System Installation Guide 4.4.1 Using the Redwood Patch Cord without RJ-45 for punch down Connect the cables from gateways, sensors, and wall switches to Engine channels by removing the jacket and “punching down” the wires.
S YSTEM INSTALLATION GUIDE 4.5 Connect Redwood Low-Voltage Cabling (Low-Voltage Wiring Option) Low-voltage wiring (18 AWG) can be used to connect Redwood Engines to Gateways, Sensors, and Wall Switches. When connecting to the Engine you can use the Redwood Patch Cord without RJ-45 for punch down or 18AWG via the included Phoenix Connectors. 4.5.
S YSTEM INSTALLATION GUIDE Redwood System Installation Guide 4.7 Install Redwood Universal Gateways Redwood LED Gateway for LED fixtures and Universal Gateway for fluorescent, CFL, HID, LED, etc. fixtures Redwood LED Gateways and Universal Gateways are installed next to each fixture. LED Gateways and are designed to work specifically with Redwood Ready LED fixtures. The Universal Gateways turn on and off any light fixture type (e.g. fluorescent, CFL, HID, LED, etc.
S YSTEM INSTALLATION GUIDE 4.8 Install Redwood Sensors The Redwood Sensor must be installed within 6 feet (1.8m) of each fixture. Determine where in the ceiling tile the Redwood Sensor needs to be installed. For more details, see the Redwood Sensor Installation Instruction manual. 4.9 Install Redwood Adapters The Redwood Adaptors have an integrated sensor and card and do note require a separate Gateway.
S YSTEM INSTALLATION GUIDE Redwood System Installation Guide 4.10.1 Installing the Redwood Adapter in the Enclosure Box To install, the Adapter is first slid into the large hole in the Adapter enclosure. The clamp is secured with the Adapter cap flush to the enclosure’s bottom. Then the Adapter Card is plugged in with the Engine and fixture wires attached. Wiring from the Adapter Card is trailed through the small exit channel on the enclosure’s side.
S YSTEM INSTALLATION GUIDE 4.11 Install Redwood Wall Switches A Redwood Wall Switch is an optional component. The Redwood Dimmer Wall Switch allows users to adjust light levels. The Redwood Scene Control Wall Switch allows users to select preconfigured scenes and override light levels. The switch does not physically connect to a fixture, but you should place it near the lights that it controls. The fixtures that each switch controls are determined during the commissioning phase.
S YSTEM INSTALLATION GUIDE Redwood System Installation Guide 5 Emergency Lighting System This is an example of how the Redwood Universal Gateway — Outage Relay can be used in conjunction with a dry contact relay to communicate the system health of a Redwood Engine. The following diagram illustrates how an emergency light can be switched on in the event of or an Engine failure or during a loss of normal power to the Engine or to the circuit that supplies power to the emergency lights.
S YSTEM INSTALLATION GUIDE 6 Power Up & Connect Engines Only after all the low-voltage cabling connections listed below are complete, connect each Engine to AC power and turn on AC power at the breaker. Confirm that the Engine’s power light comes on. 6.1 Default Configurations The Redwood Engines will be addressable by their IP addresses or by the Engine’s name as defined by an IT administrator.
