INTRODUCTION
WELCOME
Welcome to the Canvas controller from Acclaim Lighting. This neat and compact wall panel
orchestrates your lighting fixtures using a combination of touch screen user selections,
automated timers, triggers from externals sensors and remote control from mobile devices.
The Canvas controller outputs two hardwired DMX universes with the option of also
sending the first universe via wireless link to one or more remote Acclaim Lighting Aria
receivers. Two analog 0-10V control lines are also made available for legacy fixtures and
these can be tied to any of the 1024 control channels.
The Canvas controller is designed to fit perfectly within a standard 3-gang North American
wallbox (2.75”depth minimum) and operates from any AC supply, ranging from 110-277VAC.

INSTALLATION
CONNECTIONS
The Canvas controller uses two 10-way (Phoenix Contact® FK-MC) push-lock terminal blocks
to provide quick linking to the various input and output lines. Both terminal blocks can be
populated without the need to remove them from the controller, but detach easily when
necessary.

CONTROL OUTPUTS
Both DMX universes and both 0-10V analog output
connections are made on a single 10-way terminal
block. The behavior of the 0-10V outputs can be
determined within the Settings section, see page 23.
The Aria wireless transmission of the first DMX
universe is determined within page 2 of the Settings
menu - see page 19.
CONTACT INPUTS
Eight dry-contact trigger inputs allow connection
to real-world sensors and can be configured to call
particular presets in response to both their closed
and re-opened states - see page 22.
Each input is maintained in a
normally open-contact state and
will register a closed-contact state
when linked to either of the two
ground terminals.
Note: No external voltages should
be introduced to the input lines.

POWER
The Canvas controller operates
from any AC supply ranging from
110-277VAC, 50/60Hz. The line
and neutral connections are made
via push-lock terminals. An earth
connection should be made to
the metal wallbox (if used) but
otherwise there is no earthing
contact on the controller itself.
Tip: A useful wire strip gauge is
located next to the connector to
show the ideal length for each
exposed conductor.
MOUNTING
The Canvas controller is designed to fit into a standard 3-gang North American wallbox
(2.75” depth minimum). Various different colored front plates are provided and these snap
into place.

REMOVING AND REPLACING THE MICRO SD CARD
The Canvas controller uses a standard Micro SD memory card (4GB minimum) to store its
configuration data. On occasions it may be advantageous to remove the card so that it may
be copied as a backup or moved to another installation.
TO REMOVE THE MICRO SD MEMORY CARD
1 Ensure that power is removed
from the Canvas controller.
2 Gain access to the left hand
end of the controller back box.
3 Use a small flat bladed
screwdriver to engage with the
raised lip on the underside of
the Micro SD card and carefully
lever the card outwards from
the controller.
TO REPLACE THE SD MICRO MEMORY CARD
1 Ensure that power is removed
from the Canvas controller.
2 Orientate the Micro SD card
so that its contacts are facing
upwards and in towards the
slot.
3 Take great care to align the
card correctly with the narrow
holder that lies within the
outer casing.
Note: It is very easy to miss the
slot, with the result that the card
will fall into the casing. If this
should happen, you will need to
open the casing to retrieve it.
4 Gently push the Micro SD
card into the slot until it fully
engages.

CONFIGURATION
The Canvas controller is fully configurable to suit your installation; it includes a setup wizard
to help guide you through the initial configuration.

all the information it needs. You can now jump to using presets, see page 8.
•If you chose any option between 1 Channel and 7 Channels, the next two screens will
allow you to optionally define what each channel does. If you take a moment to define
these, it will help when you are programming fixtures and will also ensure that the color
representations shown for the stored presets are more accurately portrayed.
