Scene Master
The Clipsal C-Bus scene master unit is a surface mounted learn enabled unit and provides an attractive and elegant
interface to create scenes on C-Bus. The scene master replaces multiple wall-mounted switches and is suitable for
residential and commercial installations.
The scene master supports 5 scenes including a master off. The scene master supports a total of 33 group addresses
across all 5 scenes, giving this unit unparalleled flexibility. The unit also has the ability to learn scenes, so once installed
the user can change the scene setup, including fade rate, without the need for configuration software.
The scene master features illuminated light bars, which display the lighting level of the controlled lights by the number
5035NIRSLTR
of segments lit on the light bars. Pressing one of the keys on the unit or using the 5-button remote control triggers the
C-Bus scene.
The scene master communicates with all other units and obtains power via a single twisted pair of connections to the
C-Bus. In the event of C-Bus power failure, non-volatile memory retains all programmed information relating to the
unit’s operating status.

Telephone Interface
The C-Bus telephone interface unit provides a remote telephone interface to the C-Bus network. The dial in, dial out
facility permits the user to dial in and navigate a voice prompt menu to monitor and control devices on the C-Bus
network from a remote location. Control is exercised using the DTMF keypad on the phone.
The telephone interface facilities a connection to the C-Bus network for remote programming of the units using the
C-Bus Toolkit Software.
An audio output is also included so that C-Bus events can be audibly announced. The telephone interface connects to
either the public switched telephone network (PSTN) or to a local PABX.
The C-Bus telephone interface unit includes the facility to issue voice prompts, send commands, report status and to obtain
operator responses using DTMF tones. The responses are turned into actions on a C-Bus network. E5100TAU
For added security, the telephone interface requires the telephone user to enter a user profile number and password
to access the voice prompt menus. Upon receipt of the correct password, the unit activates a voice prompt menu and
directs the user to available actions or more menus.
The telephone interface incorporates a history log, is supplied pre-loaded with a standard library of words and phrases
and supports multiple languages.

Infrared Receivers
British Standard
The Clipsal C-Bus key input with infrared receiver units, are learn enabled, surface switches designed to control lighting
and other electrical services connected to a C-Bus network. These units feature push button switches and an infrared
receiver on the same unit.
Key input units are fully programmable and may be configured as toggle, dimmer, timer or scene control type functions.
With C-Bus switches it is possible to realise multi-way, multi-function switching or dimming control.
4 and 12 way remote controllers are available to control these units. The 12-way remote control permits up to three key
inputs to be controlled from the same remote unit, since it is possible to assign each key unit to buttons 1 to 4, 5 to 8 or
9 to 12 on the remote control.
Key input units communicate with all other units and obtain power via a single twisted pair of connections to the C-Bus.
In the event of C-Bus power failure, non-volatile memory retains all programmed information relating to the unit’s
operating status. E5031NIRL

PC Interface
The PC Interface is a C-Bus device designed to provide an isolated, bi-directional, interface between serial RS232 and the
C-Bus network. Through the PC Interface, C-Bus units can be programmed, commands can be issued and activity on the
C-Bus network can be monitored.
The PC Interface uses a standard RS232 serial port connection and allows an external device with RS232 output to
interface to the C-Bus.
Installation of the PC Interface on the C-Bus network requires connection to the Category 5 unshielded twisted pair
network cable. The connection to a personal computer is via the 9-pin D type serial connector or RJ45 connectors
located on the unit.

Network Bridge
The network bridge is a network support device that provides an isolated communications channel between C-Bus
units on separate networks. Both sides of the network bridge are optically isolated, providing electrical isolation between
adjacent networks.
Network bridges are required to manage networks to particular units in particular zones, or to extend the network past
system limitations of 100 passive units and 1000 metres of C-Bus cable in any one network.

Power Supply
The power supply converts the line voltage input to 36VDC output, required for correct operation by C-Bus devices.
The power supply can source up to 350mA to the network and power supplies may be added in parallel as more C-Bus
devices are added to the network, under these conditions the power supplies share the load current equally.
The power supplies feature short circuit and reverse polarity protection and the line voltage is galvonically isolated from
the C-Bus output side.

WIRELESS SYSTEM |
Wireless System
The C-Bus Wireless product range incorporates a family of C-Bus radio frequency (RF) devices, including
wall plates, plug adapters, remote control and a gateway to Category-5 wired C-Bus units.
Wireless wall switches are designed to easily replace standard, 240V wall switches. They incorporate
patented Clipsal technology and are two wire devices requiring no neutral (240V a.c. active and load
connections only).
All Wireless units incorporate C-Bus unique learn mode functions for programming devices. Wall switches,
plug adapters and the gateway unit can also be programmed via the C-Bus Toolkit Software. Multiple C-
Bus Wireless units can be linked into a common network using learn mode or the C-Bus Toolkit Software.
Associations can be created between buttons on multiple units, so that a button pressed on one unit will
operate a button on another (and the connected lights or other electrical devices).
Wireless units include scene capabilities, which allow the user to perform a series of actions across multiple
outputs by pressing a single button. For example, on arrival home a homeowner could use a scene to
switch on lights in the hallway, kitchen and lounge, and also switch on a heater.
Basic Operation
Buttons on a wireless wall switch or plug adapter are organised in pairs that control the output channels Two output channels
(local control buttons). Remaining pairs (free buttons) are used to control outputs on other units when
multiple C-Bus Wireless units are configured as part of a network. For example, the figure to the right 1 2
shows a 6 button, 2 channel Saturn wireless dimmer wall switch. Its buttons perform the following
functions: local
control

When a wireless wall switch or plug adapter unit is first installed, it functions as a stand-alone unit. In this
basic default mode, the unit functions as a dimmer or switch, depending on the model.
Wireless plug adapters have one output channel (a single, 240V a.c. socket) and two buttons. Wall switch
units are available in one or two output channel versions, with two, four, six or eight buttons (eight button
Neo only). Each channel controls one or more lights or other electrical devices connected to its output.

MULTI ROOM AUDIO SYSTEM |
System Overview
The C-Bus Multi-Room Audio system allows users to listen to and control audio sources from convenient
locations around the home. The system is both simple to install and easy to use.
The system has been designed utilising new digital audio distribution technology (developed by Clipsal), in
conjunction with Clipsal C-Bus core technology for system communication and integration.
Clipsal’s digital audio distribution technology allows for noise and interference free audio reproduction,
whilst the C-Bus technology allows the audio products to be seamlessly integrated and used with all
existing C-Bus products. For example, volume can be controlled from the same C-Bus switch or touch
screen controlling lighting.
In addition, the system allows any input audio source to be made available in any audio zone. Changes to
the input audio source can easily be made by the user from a local C-Bus device at any time, regardless of
where the audio source equipment (e.g., CD Player) is physically located. It is compatible with most audio
sources and it accommodates standard stereo line level analogue inputs as well as digital audio TOS link
inputs.
Infrared signals from hand held remote controls can be routed through the system by connecting IR
targets and emitters. IR commands can also be stored by the system and activated by programmed C-Bus
commands.
The C-Bus Multi-Room Audio system allows a number of different system layout options. This flexibility
allows for a wide range of customer needs and installation requirements.
Two example schematics are shown opposite.
Option A
This basic option allows a single audio source to be available to a number of C-Bus audio amplifiers and to
be controlled from convenient locations around the home (via any combination of C-Bus input devices).
This option requires one Cat-5 cable for the audio distribution. This cable is cascaded between each audio
amplifier.
Option B
This option allows more flexibility. Multiple audio sources are made available to all audio zones, with all the
audio sources selectable on a zone-by-zone basis via C-Bus input devices. This option requires a separate
(star wired) Category-5 audio cable to each audio amplifier in a zone.
92
MULTI ROOM AUDIO SYSTEM |
Option A
Option B
Note 1
The C-Bus Matrix Switcher is able to supply a limited amount of power
to the audio amplifiers, as the system shares power available via the
Category-5 audio network.
Note 2
Adding a power supply to each amplifier will change the output
power rating from 10W to 25W RMS.
93
MULTI ROOM AUDIO SYSTEM |
A core component of the audio distribution system is the audio matrix switcher, which is used to switch up to four
stereo audio inputs to any of the eight available digital audio outputs. Switching of the audio sources is via any C-Bus
input units such as a key input, dynamic label switch or touch screen or via the control panel on the front of the matrix
switcher. Using the C-Bus network, it is possible to select the audio source, volume up/down and mute sound.
Housed in a neat and attractive mechanical enclosure, the audio matrix switcher is designed to be located along side the
audio equipment it controls.
Powered from a plug pack supply, the unit incorporates a C-Bus power supply capable of sourcing 400mA to the wired
network.

Clipsal’s digital audio distribution technology allows for noise and interference free audio reproduction, whilst the C-Bus
technology allows the audio products to be seamlessly integrated and used with all existing C-Bus products.
The audio amplifiers used in the audio distribution system are available in two formats. The desktop audio amplifier
features a rated output of 25 Watts per channel and features volume, bass, treble and balance adjustment over the C-Bus
network. The desktop amplifier front panel features a power on/off, mute, volume adjust and source select. In addition 560125D
the unit incorporates an IR receiver window to operate with a remote control.
The remote mounted audio amplifier features a rated output of 25 Watts per channel and features volume, bass, treble
and balance adjustment over the C-Bus network. The remote dimmers are designed for local mounting, adjacent the
speakers, in the ceiling space and do not feature any front panel controls.
The amplifiers connect to the audio matrix switcher via Category 5 UTP cable, and feature a C-Bus wired connection for control.
The audio amplifiers are powered off the C-Bus network, but in certain types of installations the audio amplifiers operate
in conjunction with a local plug pack power supply.

Introduction
The C-Bus System
C-Bus is a control system that can be used to control lighting, electrical equipment, audio-visual equipment
and other electronic systems in commercial, industrial and residential installations. A reduction in the
amount of mains cabling, reduced installation times, energy savings and extra control system functionality
make C-Bus a cost effective alternative to conventional wiring. C-Bus is a microprocessor based system and
requires an installer to program the operating variables and control relationships between C-Bus units. This
guide outlines a suggested method for design and installation using C-Bus.
Objective
This guide provides a system to aid C-Bus designers; to design and plan C-Bus installations. Additional
technical support is offered by Schneider Electric’s technical support team.
System Requirements
The first step in using C-Bus is to define what is required of C-Bus; that is, how devices and electrical loads
are to be controlled and what features are required by the installation.
108
DESIGN GUIDE |
Commissioning
Subject to compliance with the specification, the system may now be
commissioned. Modifications or design review can be undertaken at
any time, often requiring programming changes only. A well designed
system should seldom call for the installation of new hardware, except
where revised specifications dictate the necessity.
Programming Principles
All C-Bus devices require programming (with the exception of
power supplies). This is achieved by dedicated software running on
a personal computer. Unit programming is carried out to achieve the
following objectives:
• Create/define units on the C-Bus network
• Identify each unit using the C-Bus addressing convention
• Create/define/edit control relationships between inputs and outputs
• Edit unit operating parameters
The operating parameters vary from unit to unit, depending on it’s
type. They include:
• Key functions
Installation Approach • Timer functions
• Dimming functions
Planning and Design • Toggle (On/Off ) control
The most important phase of any C-Bus installation is in the planning

requirements, and determining the hardware needs of an installation. • Error status options
Thought should be given as to the placement of the hardware, and
the cabling requirements. Programming & functionality requirements
should also be fully investigated at this stage. Strict adherence to any
documentation procedures is necessary.

Design Documentation
Documenting Hardware Installation
As with any conventional electrical installation, documentation of
the details of the design are required. This documentation is not only
used throughout the planning stages, but also provides an invaluable
record as to the placement of hardware, and the cabling structures
employed. In addition, vital information may be communicated
between the designer or the specifier, and the installer, where contract
labour is to be utilised.
Documentation of the hardware installation is usually best achieved
through CAD generated site drawings, presented in the conventional
industry standard format. The following drawing shows an example of
a typical installation plan. The drawing shows product to be installed,
and their location. Switching and other control relationships are also
depicted using easily decipherable conventions similar to those used
for conventional wiring.

Programming Methods
There are three preferred methods for programming the C-Bus modules; this chapter discusses these alternatives. Programming is conducted
using a C-Bus PC Interface to connect to the C-Bus network. Programming can also be completed using C-Bus learn mode - see attached section

to misuse and error. If the unit addresses are incorrectly programmed
or if the equipment is incorrectly placed in an installation,
unpredictable behavior may result. The designer and installer must
ensure the planning process and installation documentation are
correct, and the placement of the equipment proceeds in a systematic
manner. Identification labels should be used on all C-Bus units. The
templates have been produced to simplify the task of allocating
addressing information and assist in the programming methods as
recommended by Clipsal Integrated Systems.
