Adoption is expected in the 1999-2000 timeframe. 3 Remote Control Applications Overview Low-Voltage Switching Low-Voltage Switching Platform pages 6-15 LOW VOLTAGE WIRING The low-voltage switching platform consists of relay panels which are typically mounted in the electrical RELAYS closet. Each lighting load to be controlled is wired LOAD through a relay. The relays, in turn, are connected to LOW VOLTAGE WIRING LINE manual switches with low-voltage wires. The resulting LOCAL SWITCH switching platform has a number of benefits: J Any number of switches can control a single relay. This makes it possible to control the lighting from any number of locations, including a central switching console. J The status of each lighting load can be annunciated. This makes remote switching of lighting circuits code-compliant and practical. J Relays can be grouped for common control. This REMOTE PILOT LIGHT provides a low cost, reconfigurable, multi-pole SWITCH contactor function. J Low-voltage wiring reduces wiring cost by eliminat- ing the need for expensive conduit. This is especially important in long switch runs. Master Switch Control Of MASTER SWITCH GROUP CONTROL A Group Of Lighting Loads pages 16-17 MASTER SEQUENCER Simple automation can be added to the basic switching platform using a Master Sequencer. This basic controller mounts on an accessory plate in the relay panel, controlling a group of relays ON/OFF LOCAL while retaining separate control of each. When the SWITCH Master Switch is turned ON (OFF), the Sequencer pulses each of its ON (OFF) relay outputs sequentially. 12 A local switch can control an individual relay without affecting the others. A second input channel allows timeclocks, MASTER SWITCH MAINTAINED CONTACT DEVICES building automation systems or other maintained contact devices also to control the Sequencer. This meets the minimum requirements of the energy codes. However, it requires multiple OFF sweeps of the timeclock to ensure that individual overrides are caught after four hours. 4 Time Control Of Indoor Lighting pages 18-19 The Smart Sweeper provides a much more elegant solution for occupant-sensitive, indoor lighting automation. Like the Sequencer, it mounts on an accessory plate in the relay panel, with the timeclock or building automation system output wired to its input. When this contact is closed, the building is considered occupied; open, it’s unoccupied. This single contact can now initiate an intelligent operating scenario for all the connected lighting loads: TIME CONTROL OF INDOOR LIGHTING J Manual ON/Auto OFF SMART SWEEPER J Auto ON/Auto OFF 1 1 2 2 Contact Closed = Occupied Mode INDIVIDUAL 3 3 OCCUPANT The automation system closes the input contact SWITCH 4 4 before the earliest occupant arrives. In Auto ON 5 5 scenario, the Sweeper will turn on the lighting 6 6 7 7 when the contact closes. In Manual ON scenario, 8 8 occupants switch on the lighting for their areas as 9 9 they arrive. 10 10 Contact Open = Unoccupied Mode 11 11 12 12 Lights “blink” to warn occupants of an impending OFF sweep. Occupants can extend their stay, without having the lights go off, simply by pressing their switch. Areas not overridden go off in 5 minutes. At the end of the lighting override time (15 min. to 2 hr.) TIMECLOCK OR BUILDING AUTOMATION SYSTEM the Blink Warning process is repeated. (Note: the Blink Warning, Time Delay and Auto ON vs. Manual ON are user selectable.) Photocell Control Of Outdoor Lighting PHOTOCELL CONTROL OF OUTDOOR LIGHTING pages 20-21 The Outdoor Lighting Controller provides a simple way to control the three kinds of outdoor lighting PHOTOCELL “OCCUPIED” normally encountered in a commercial or institutional CONTACTS building: Security, Parking and Signage. The controller SECURITY itself is mounted in the relay panel; a single sensor is mounted outdoors. PARKING As with the Sweeper, the Outdoor Lighting Controller uses a contact closure from the BAS, time- SIGNAGE clock or security system to set the occupied/unoccupied status. Each type of lighting has its own output channel on the controller, with user-selectable trip levels: OUTDOOR PHOTOCELL CONTROLLER J Security. The Security output controls the con- nected relays (up to 3) ON at dusk, OFF at dawn. The trip point is adjustable from 2 to 20 fc. J Parking. Parking lot lights are turned on at dusk if the building is occupied. The lighting goes off when the building becomes unoccupied or the outdoor light level rises above the 2 to 20 fc threshold setting. A separate egress delay, adjust- able from 15 to 120 min, allows a grace period for people to exit the building grounds. J Signage. Signage is normally turned on at higher light levels: 20 to 200 fc. Signage is ON whenever the outside light levels are below this threshold and the building is occupied. 5 Basic Components Relays E RR SERIES RELAYS HAVE SERVED as the heart of low voltage lighting controls G for over 40 years. The basic power switching device, the relay serves as the foundation of a building’s lighting control solution. GE’s Remote Control panels and frames are con- figured for either RR7P or RR9P relays with a five-pin female connector. The user can simply remove a knockout in the low voltage barrier, snap the relay into place, and plug it onto the interconnect board. RR7P Operation Each relay employs a split low-voltage (24V) coil to move the line voltage contact armature to the ON(OFF) latched position. As illustrated on the RR7P Relay RR9P Relay opposite page for the RR7P, the ON coil moves the armature to the left when a 24 volt control signal is impressed across its leads. The armature latches in the ON position and will remain there until the OFF coil is energized. This operation provides several key control features: J Positive action. The relay always goes to the state commanded. For example, multiple OFF com- mands will keep the contacts in the OFF position. J Stable operation. Since the relay latches in the ON or OFF position, power outages do not result in a change of state. J Minimal power consumption. Control power is only required when the relay changes state. J Ability to support multiple input devices. After the relay responds to a momentary pulse, it is then “free” to accept another pulse from any other control devices wired to it. The relay position is always controlled by the last signal.

This is a basic building block for automation. A group of lighting circuits, such as all general office lighting, may be turned OFF at the end of the day while allowing an individual to override a particular area back ON with a local switch. The Master Sequencer is an electronic switch with two independent inputs. It is available in three sizes allowing independent ON/OFF control of 8, 16 or 32 relays. In addition to master group control, it also allows switchleg extension and the conversion of maintained input signals to momentary. Master Group Control The RMS turns each associated relay ON or OFF, one at a time, when it detects a change of state of a switch input. When the ON side of a master switch is actuated, the RMS detects this action and provides a pulse to each of its ON output terminals in rapid RMS32 RMS16 succession (1-4 seconds). Since each relay output is pulsed individually, a large number of relays can be controlled as part of each master group. Master Switchleg Extension When relays are paralleled to create a group (see bottom diagram on page 13), the switchleg length must be restricted because of voltage drop. This restriction does not apply to the RMS. A master switch may be up to 1000 feet from the RMS, regardless of the number of relays controlled by the unit. Maintained-To-Momentary Input Conversion Each input channel on the RMS will accept any number of 3-wire momentary switches, one 3-wire maintained switch or one 2-wire SPST switch. This allows the RMS to interface directly with typical control devices, such as timeclocks, while still providing local master switch control. the OFF (black) leads connect to the “B” output ON/OFF Operation bank (right side) and to the black relay terminals A mode jumper allows the RMS to be used as an (see photos and Typical Wiring diagram opposite).

Like the RMS, the Sweeper allows T groups of lighting circuits to be turned ON or OFF automatically, allows switchleg extension, and converts maintained input signals to momentary. However, the Sweeper is designed with a higher level of intelligence, reducing hardwiring for specific functions and increasing flexibility. An “Occupied” contact simplifies scheduling and enables several powerful automation functions, including automatic ON, after-hours OFF sweeps based on a user-selectable time delay, and blink warning. The Sweeper, designed for applications like general lighting in a small office building, provides users with automatic functions for energy savings while allowing individual occupant control. Because it offers more functions, the Sweeper is configured differently than the RMS. The Sweeper provides one master input, and 12 individual switch inputs. Each input will accept any 2- or 3-wire switch, including a 2-wire maintained input (refer to Typical Switch Wiring diagram on opposite page). Inputs may also be wired together for control of small subgroups. Each of the 12 individual inputs corresponds to one of the 12 relay outputs, allowing direct occupant override for any relay.

GE recommends typical installations as follows: 12 relays: 12-relay panel with one RSP12/RCS12 mounted in the panel 24 relays: 24-relay panel with one RSP12/RCS12 in the panel and one in accessory cabinet 48 relays: 48-relay panel with two RSP12/RCS12 in the panel and two more in accessory cabinet 19 Adding Automation Outdoor Lighting Controller OR A SMALL OFFICE OR RETAIL STORE, the most common outdoor lighting needs include F security lighting, parking lot and signage. All three types can be easily automated using a combination of a photosensor to detect outdoor light levels and the RPCON3-OUT Outdoor Lighting Controller. Like the Sweeper, the Outdoor Lighting Controller uses an “Occupied” contact to interface to a timeclock, BAS or simple switch. The controller combines daylight information gathered from the photosensor and occupancy information from the “Occupied” contact to turn exterior lighting ON or OFF at the appropriate times. For example, a retail store may need security lighting to turn on whenever it is sufficiently dark outside, whether or not the store is open. However, even after dark, signage should only turn on when the store is ready for business. The RPCON3-OUT is designed to simplify these decisions for the owner and installer, taking the complexity out of outdoor lighting control. Daylight Input Each output is dedicated to one type of outdoor The RPCON3-OUT controller must be used with lighting: Security, Parking and Signage. Each output the RPSEN3-OUT photosensor.

Smart scenarios built into the RPCON3-OUT control the three outputs as follows: J Security – ON at dusk, OFF at dawn. This output always follows the photosensor. J Parking – Follows the photosensor while “Occupied.” Going “Unoccupied” causes the unit to turn the lights OFF after the egress time delay has elapsed. J Signage – Also follows the photosensor while “Occupied.” Going “Unoccupied” immediately turns the lights OFF with no time delay. 20 outdoor Catalog # Description Specifications RPCON3-OUT DIMENSIONS RPCON3-OUT Outdoor Lighting Controller 24-29 VAC/VDC + 10%, 1 VA with Built-in Scenarios and Sensor Input: 3 #20 AWG Wires 1.72 4.50 Three Outputs for Security, 3 Intelligent Outputs (44) (114) Parking and Signage Lighting Up to 3 Relays or 1 Smart Input per Output 1.81 (46) 0 to 55°C (32 to 131°F) Controller mounts indoors Range (fc) – user selectable per output: 2-20 fc (Security and Parking) 20-200 fc (Signage) 5.00 3.28 Deadband: (127) (83) 6 fc (Security and Parking) 4 fc (Signage) RPSEN3-OUT Outdoor Photodiode Weatherproof, -30 to 50°C (-20 to 120°F) 1 Sensing Module ⁄2" MPT, facing north RPHOTO3-OUT Package – Outdoor Lighting inches (millimeters) Controller (RPCON3-OUT) with Photosensor (RPSEN3-OUT) RPCON3-OUT AND RPSEN3-OUT TYPICAL WIRING RPSEN3-OUT DIMENSIONS “OCCUPIED” CONTACTS 1.30 (33) RED BLACK YELLOW WHITE 1 RPSEN3-OUT 1.86 (47) OUTPUTS TO RELAYS inches (millimeters) AND/OR SMART INPUTS SUCH AS RPCON3-OUT CHANNEL TERMINALS ON SOFTWIRED CONTACTOR A 24 VAC 21 Other Controls Daylighting Controls LC DAYLIGHTING CONTROLS PROVIDE: Controller J A reliable switching system for each type of daylit The RPCON control unit is normally mounted in T space. the electrical closet with the relay panel to simplify J Easy calibration and stability over time. calibration.

To control lighting effectively within atrium spaces, the sensor must average the brightness of the ceiling without being exposed to direct daylight. On dark or rainy days the lighting should be left ON. This requires a switching range of 100 to 1,000 fc. J Interior Spaces with Skylights – RPSEN-SKY While similar to atriums, the physical layout requires sensors in these spaces to be mounted in the skylight, facing upward. Exposing the sensor to direct daylighting requires switching levels of 1,000 to 10,000 fc. J Exterior Lighting – RPSEN-OUT The RPSEN-OUT is designed for exterior mounting facing north to provide a signal for switching exterior lighting.

O For maximum flexibility, GE offers several types of occupancy sensors. Four low-voltage units (three ceiling-mount and one wall-mount switch) are designed to be compatible with GE TLC relay panels, and are described on the next three pages. There are three low-voltage “stand-alone” ceiling-mount sensors which operate with their own power/relay switchpack, and a line-voltage wall-mount switch which replaces a standard wall switch (See page 27). Each ultrasonic sensor produces a low intensity, inaudible sound. The units detect changes in the sound waves caused by motion in the room, but do not respond to audible noises. Low-Voltage TLC Ceiling-Mount Sensors RSENSOR-X DIMENSIONS Low-voltage TLC-compatible ceiling-mount occupancy sensors draw power directly from the relay panel. They can simplify wiring and give the designer extra flexibility. This includes using a low-voltage switch to override the sensor, using one sensor to control a group of relays, and extending coverage 1.62 (41) through a master/slave configuration (see diagrams on opposite page). 6.25 2.32 Tying occupancy sensors together in a master/slave (159) (59) configuration allows any sensor in the group to turn inches (millimeters) ON a single circuit. As one example, this could be very useful in a long hallway where lighting is unscheduled, particularly if the hallway is not straight.
