To properly install the synapse EMB-S2-A Controller, please follow the steps outlined in the installation guide provided. Here is a summary of the installation instructions:

1. Before starting the installation, turn off the power at the circuit breaker or fuse and verify that the power is off.

2. Mount the controller in the desired location using #4 or M3 screws through the mounting holes on the back edge of the EMB-S2-A.

3. If using an external antenna, remove the red rubber dust cover, washer, and nut from the antenna connector. Determine the best location for the antenna and create an opening to mount the antenna and bulkhead.

4. Feed the bulkhead through the opening in the fixture and secure it with the washer and nut. xxxx on the antenna hand-tight and tighten a 1/4 turn with a pair of needle-nose pliers. Do not over-tighten.

5. Wire the EMB-S2-A controller by connecting the 12-24VDC Aux output from the LED driver to the POWER (BROWN) wire of the EMB-S2-A. Connect the DALI-/COMMON (PINK/WHITE STRIPE) wire of the EMB-S2-A to the COMMON/DALI- or COMMON/DIM- based on the LED driver you have.

6. If you are connecting sensors, follow the instructions provided in steps 10-14 of the installation guide.

7. Connect the dimming circuit based on the type of LED driver you have. For a Standard Dim to Off LED driver, connect the DIM+ (PURPLE) wire from the EMB-S2-A to the DIM+ wire on the LED driver. For a DALI 2 LED driver, connect the DALI-/COMMON (PINK/WHITE STRIPE) wire from the EMB-S2-A to the COMMON/DALI- wire on the LED driver.

8. After connecting the controller to the LED driver and any sensors, cap any unused wires. Switch on the power to the fixture, and the light should turn on.

9. The status LED on the controller will indicate the current status. Refer to the SimplySnap User's Manual for information on provisioning the EMB-S2-A.
