General Information
LON Automation Interface Module (Serial
Version)
Model#AIM-LON-SER
The LON Automation Interface Module provides a communications link between a Greengate lighting panel and
a system that uses the LON Protocol. This allows a LON
based system to have the ability of turning On or Off relays
or groups of relays within a Greengate lighting panel as well
as get status from relays or switches. The LON Automation
Interface Module is custom configured for your job site’s
needs as to what relays and groups it will control or monitor.
Before You Begin
The LON AIM uses an Echelon SLTA-10,TP/FT-10 device
to communicate with the LON system.
The LON AIM ships without the motherboard installed in
the enclosure unless the desired programming has been
given to the factory prior to shipment.
As each site is pre-configured, it will be necessary to provide
technical support with the necessary programming information to ship the motherboard to the site. Please see the end
of this document to obtain the paperwork that must be filled
out for the configuration of this unit.
The unit will be pre-configured for the connection information for your site based on the information provided to us.
A system integrator mapping table will be provided.
Each LON AIM unit has the capability of commanding and
monitoring a total of 1200 points. Please note that your
AIM unit has been preconfigured for your site’s panel and
desired points to command and monitor. Please refer to
the systems integrator mapping table for the information
on how the LON network variables relate to the Greengate
lighting control points.
This document describes the installation process for
the AIM unit. Questions should be referred to Cooper
ControlsTechnical Support Department.

Getting Started
1. Do not discard these installation instructions. Please keep
for future reference and operation information.
2. Use only as intended and at the listed voltage.
3. All installation and service must be performed by qualified
personnel or service technicians.
4. Install in accordance with the National Electrical Code and
any other codes which may apply.
5.Installation and wiring information contained in this
document is based on industry-accepted standards and
practices. If conflicts exist between these instructions and
any applicable codes or ordinances, please contact Cooper
Controls before proceeding with the installation.
Mounting the AIM Unit
1. Choose a dry location convenient within 6 feet of the Greengate
lighting panel that also has access to the LON network.
2. Mount the enclosure on a firm surface using the two top
predrilled mounting holes. Drill additional holes as needed.
3. Low voltage network connections for the Greengate Network
and the BACnet connection to the AIM enclosure should be
done through conduit. Bring wiring in conduit through the left,
top or upper right side. The lower right corner of the enclosure
is reserved for the high-voltage power connection.
4. Remove all cuttings and dirt before providing power to the AIM
unit.

Wiring the AIM to the Greengate Network
Wiring Notes
1. All low-voltage wiring must be run in separate conduit from
line-voltage wiring.
2. Disconnect power from the AIM.
3. Connect the provided RJ11 to 5 position terminal block cable
to the RS-232 com port on the lighting panel. Connect the
pre-wired 5 position terminal block to the Port S2 position
on AIM motherboard.

LED indicator lights
The AIM motherboard and the Greengate Interface board
both have LED lights that can help with diagnostics. These
are explained below.
AIM Unit LEDs
The AIM unit has LEDs for diagnostics in several locations on
the board. This includes the LEDs on the front casing of the
AIM unit as well as some LEDs next to various ports on the
board and an LED display that may indicate error codes. Please
refer to the following drawing that indicates the location of the
LEDs and their functions.
1. AIM Port S2 (Greengate Lighting Connection) Transmit and
Receive LEDs.
2. AIM LED stack - the following LEDs are diagnostic indicators: Archive Valid - should be lit after a minute or two of the
AIM being powered up. If this LED does not light up a few
minutes after power up, please contact technical support.
Port S1 TX and Port S1 RX - AIM port transmit and receive
indicators for the serial port connection to the SLTA-10. The
top two LEDs will not be used.
3. Module Status Indicator: This LED display in normal run
condition will show a chase light that tracks around the
outside of the display with a flashing red dot LED in the
bottom right corner. If a number displays in this window,
please contact Technical Support for further assistance.
4. Power indication LED.
