and Lighting Wiring.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The LMBC-600 Network Bridge module provides a network
connection for a group of Wattstopper Digital Lighting
Management (DLM) Local Network room level devices.
The DLM local network must include at least one room/load
controller. Connecting the LMBC-600 to the DLM local network
then to either the DLM Segment Manager or a third party
system using the BACnet protocol exposes the status and
parameters of all connected devices to the broader network.
MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION
Determine a suitable location for the LMBC-600. This will usually be in the ceiling closely located to the DLM local network devices to
be networked either directly in the room/space or just outside in a hallway for easier access. Classrooms and patient rooms are ideal for
hallway mounting of the bridge.
The LMBC-600 is UL2043 Plenum rated and comes with an DIN rail mounting plate for flexibility.
Warning: The LMBC-600 is a wireless device. Avoid mounting next to motors, large metal obstructions, or within 12” of another wireless
emitting device.
Attach DIN rail clip
Option 1: Attach to DIN rail
Option 2: Mount to wall

WIRING TO THE DLM LOCAL NETWORK
The DLM local network uses free topology low voltage wiring. The LMBC-600 can connect anywhere on the DLM local network using
LMRJ cables.
Use a Wattstopper LMRJ series cable or a Cat5e patch cable to connect the LMBC-600 to one of the RJ-45 jacks on any of the DLM
local network devices. When connected to a powered DLM local network the red Transmit LED blinks rapidly. The red Config LED blinks
at the same rate as the other DLM local network devices.
WARNING: Connect the LMBC-600 RJ-45 jack only to DLM lighting control devices. Do not connect Ethernet to the LMBC-600 RJ-45 jack.
CAUTION: TO CONNECT A
COMPUTER TO THE DLM LOCAL
NETWORK USE THE LMCI-100.
NEVER CONNECT THE DLM LOCAL
NETWORK TO AN ETHERNET PORT
– IT MAY DAMAGE COMPUTERS AND
OTHER CONNECTED EQUIPMENT.

LED INDICATORS
The bridge has two LED indicators visible when the top cover is closed or open
Blue LED
• Blinking – network traffic associated with a border router
• Solid – device is active but not connected to a border router
Red LED
• Blinking – DLM Local network IRB traffic
LMBC-600 START-UP PROCESS
The following information is intended for use by a Wattstopper authorized start-up technician.
IMPORTANT: Ensure all border routers are installed and powered off (LMRJ unplugged or breaker off) before installing wireless bridges.
For multi story installations, please follow the steps below for each floor.
1. Using a Wattstopper LMRJ Cat5e cable, connect the wireless bridge by plugging the Cat5e cable into an available RJ45 port on
both the bridge and any room controller inside the space or zone to be networked. Once connected to the room controller, the
bridge will power on.
2. After power up sequence(less than 30 seconds), a solid BLUE led indicates the wireless radios are active and searching for border
routers. The BLUE led will remain solid until it has associated with a border router(LMBR-600).
3. Power on all border routers installed in the space or on the individual floor
4. Bridges will automatically discover and join the panID of available border routers. Once this happens, the BLUE led will begin to
blink periodically.
5. Confirm that all wireless bridges are powered on with the BLUE led blinking. Once verified the bridge installation for the area or
floor is complete.
6. Important: For Multi-story deployments, it is recommended that all border routers be powered off to avoid bridges connecting to
border routers on different floors. This method ensures more robust wireless communication between wireless nodes and easier
system startup and management.
7. When all floors have been installed per the steps 1-6, the system is ready to be commissioned by a remote or on-site authorized
Wattstopper Startup technician.

SECURITY NOTE: All wireless communication between the bridge and border router is encrypted throughout the entire install process
using default network settings and trusted hardware pre-shared encryption keys. During system startup, security is updated from default
settings to site specific settings to provide additional levels of security.
BRIDGE RESET
The LMBC-600 wireless bridge can be reset manually on the device or remotely through software.
Hardware Reset to Factory Default Network and Security Settings
1. Open the hinged bridge cover to by pressing and lifting (show product image).
2. With the cover open, locate the small reset hole in the bottom right hand corner.
3. The hole is sized to accept a standard size paper clip.
4. Insert paper clip into reset hole to access reset button, press and hold for 10 seconds to reset back to factory default network and
security settings.
Software Reset Using LMCS (Advanced method)
1. Connect laptop with LMCS directly to the DLM room IRB or connect to the DLM BACnet network. See the LMCS User manual for
details on setting up LMCS to communicate with a DLM network.
2. Locate the bridge device(s) to be reset in the LMCS device tree.
3. Click the bridge to access device properties.
4. On the Advanced tab, choose from a list of reset options.
a. Reset network and security settings to default.
b. Reset security settings only.
TROUBLESHOOTING
LMBC-600 LEDs fail to illuminate
Check LMRJ Cat5e connections
Blue LED fails to enter blinking state
Check to make sure border router is powered on
