C-Bus Bus Coupler Input Unit, 4 Channel, Supports On-Board Scenes

As stated in section 2.0 of installation instructions:

"Then input channels of the 5104BCL are NOT isolated"

See below for more information:

No, the C-Bus Coupler is not able to output to or control a connection to it, the Bus Coupler will only recognize a contact closure and then send a command onto the C-Bus to perform an action.

These are typically used for a status of a contact being either open or closed, or when a C-Bus switch is not suitable in the environment. For example you might need a IP rated switch in a cool room, this mechanical switch will connect to the inputs of the Bus Coupler which in turn when switched will send a command onto C-Bus.

There are no C-Bus switches made as weatherproof. There are 2 options for solutions.

1 - Install a product such as a cover, flap or shroud that protects a C-Bus switch better. E.g. 255, 223H, WS226.
2 - Any general electrical switch can be 'coupled' to C-Bus so it can act as a C-Bus switch on the network.
The C-Bus Bus Coupler part name is as follows 5102BCLEDL or 5104BCL.

Yes. You can fit the 5104BCL, this is a C-Bus coupler input unit. It has been designed
to be an intermediary between non cbus switches and the C-bus network.

Some of the features of this product include:
 

• Used to interface up to 4 standard voltage- free mechanical switches, including latching and toggle switches to C-Bus
• Supports onboard scenes
• Used to interface up to 2 standard voltage free mechanical switches, including latching and toggle switches to C-Bus
• The unit is designed to fit into a standard wall box
• Each unit features a programmable status indicator
• The maximum distance between the unit and an external voltage free switch is limited to 1m
• Units draw 18 mA from a C-Bus network

Issue:
As of March 1, 2015 all US Lighting Control products (EXCEPT Powerlink and MVP panels) will enter their obsolescence phase and will no longer be purchasable for new orders. Management of the Prosumer Business has made a strategic decision to stop the Lighting Control initiative and concentrate our effort in new businesses with higher growth potential – Connected Home, Building Control in small buildings, and Electric Vehicle solutions.

Product Line:
All US Lighting Control product except Powerlink and MVP panels are affected. CBus, Occupancy Sensors, Low Voltage Switches, Relay Panels, Emergency Lighting Control Panels, Schneider Electric branded Current Limiting Panels, and Architectural Dimming Panels.

Environment:
US Lighting Control products

Cause:
Management of the Prosumer Business has made a strategic decision to stop the Lighting Control initiatives.

Resolution:
