Installation Guide for Philips DDRC1220FR-GL Relay Controller

Important Information

This device must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all national and local electrical and construction codes. The device must be housed in an approved enclosure. Crucial configuration rule: You must leave a one-channel gap between channels if they are on different phases. Additionally, to use channel 1, it must be on the same phase as the supply terminals.

Physical Installation

The unit dimensions are 215 mm (8.46 in) x 93 mm (3.66 in) x 64 mm (2.52 in). Ensure a minimum clearance of 45 mm (1.77 in) above and below the unit for proper ventilation. The device is rated for operation between 0°C (32°F) and 50°C (122°F) with a maximum humidity of 90%.

Wiring and Phase Configuration

The controller supports various wiring configurations:

• 1-Phase / 3-Phase: CH-CH voltage must be ≤ 300 V (UL) or ≤ 400 V (CE).
• Terminal Torque: Power terminals require 0.62 Nm (5.5 Lb-in). Communication terminals require 0.4 Nm (3.5 Lb-in).
• Wire Gauge: Use 0.3-2.5 mm² (22-12 AWG) wire.

Refer to the provided wiring diagrams for specific 1-phase and 3-phase connection examples, ensuring the channel gap rule is strictly followed to prevent phase-to-phase interference.

Electrical Ratings

The output ratings per channel (CH1-CH12) are as follows:

• General Use: 16 A, 277 V (UL) / 20 A, 240 V (CE)
• Incandescent: 16 A, 277 V
• Electronic Driver: 16 A, 277 V
• Motor: 16 FLA (1 HP) at 120 V; 14.5 FLA (2.5 HP) at 240 V; 14.1 FLA (3 HP) at 277 V
• Inrush Current: 500 A

The total group rating (DDRC1220FR-GL) is ≤ 180 A.

Communication and Control

The device utilizes RS-485 DyNet/DMX Rx communication. The communication port layout includes SHLD, GND, D+, D-, +12V, and AUX. The communication power requirement is 12 V at 200 mA (SELV/Class 2). Ensure communication wires are kept separate from high-voltage lines.
