IMPORTANT NOTICE!
This device should be installed by a qualified electrician
in accordance with the latest edition of the IEE wiring
regulations.
Description and Operation
Vitesse plus is a flexible lighting control system which provides effective power delivery and control
for lighting installations in commercial, educational and healthcare buildings. Vitesse plus is de-
signed for ease of installation: mains input is connected using the spacious wiring compartment;
control inputs and outputs are pluggable using industry standard connectors. The Vitesse plus
marshalling box has 10 luminaire outputs, which can be configured as three separate channels if
required. All control inputs are ELV and provide a variety of functions, a connection for the testing
of emergency luminaries is also provided.

Installation and Wiring
Warning. This device works at mains potential. Be sure to take care when working with electricity.
The box should be fixed on a smooth, flat surface or using drop rod fixings. Optional track fixings
can be used.
Ensure that there is easy access to the wiring compartment and all connectors once the box is in-
situ.
Wire the box using the diagram opposite.
Connect permanent Live, Earth and Neutral connections to the terminals in the wiring compart-
ment. There is an extra set of terminals to loop through the wiring; these do not have to be used.
Plug in the luminaires ensuring that the connector latches to the box (pre-wired luminaire leads
are available, please contact our sales office).
Connect presence detectors and/or photocells using RJ45 connections and a suitable CAT5
cable.
Connect switches to the switch input connection terminals, between input and the common.
Switches must be isolated and can be either latching or retractive. Centre biased retractive
switches are recommended for dimming applications.
The terminals are as follows:
+12V power supply
COM common for switch input and power supply
SW2/OFF/DOWN
can be used as an override off or connected to the “down” of a
SW1/ON/UP centre biased switch
can be used as an on switch or connected to the “up” of a centre
biased switch
An ELV emergency lighting test input is provided. Simply short these two connections to start the
test. These terminals can be commoned across multiple boxes. See diagram on page 7 for de-
tails on emergency test modes.
An ELV corridor hold output is provided. When any of the outputs are on, this contact closes. To
achieve corridor hold, connect between com and SW1 of the switch input connection on the corri-
dor hold boxes. This is a low current, low voltage contact only and must not be used to switch
mains voltages.
Set the Function and Channel DIL switches according to the tables overleaf.

Function Selection
8 standard functions are available on the Vitesse Plus marshalling box.
There are a further 8 reserved functions. Also the box can be customised to provide a further set of
functions to encompass the needs of all common applications. If the function required is not
listed opposite, please contact our technical department.
Select the standard functions using the table opposite. Allow a few seconds for the new settings to
be read in.
Only use the dimming functions on dimming boxes.
Where a dimming box has a mixture of dimming and non-dimming luminaires connected, the dim-
ming functions can still be used but they will have no effect on the non-dimming luminaires.
The functions can be summarised as follows:
PRESENCE DETECTION lights turn on and off with occupancy using the VITP-PD,
VITP-PD/IR, VITP-MWS3 or VITP-MWS3D sensors.
ABSENCE DETECTION lights turn off with occupancy and require a manual on.
DAYLIGHT LINKING light output adjusts to ambient conditions, using
either the VITP-PD/IR*, VITP-MWS3D* or VITP-PC sen
sors.
MANUAL DIMMING light output is manually controlled using switches.
*these products have the facility for a handheld infrared handset to dim and override off
