Panel Types: LiteKeeper, ControlKeeper #
LiteKeeper panels are standalone centralized controllers with on/off capabilities only. ControlKeeper panels are networkable and have both centralized and distributed options. The only dimming ControlKeeper panel is the CK4A. If your Lighting System was specified with a GDS-I controller for digital wallstations, a 5-wire Belden 1502 / 1502P cable is connected to the GDS-I at the panel location, daisy-chained through each digital wallstation, and terminated at each end. You can run the 5-wire cable in 2 directions from the GDS-I based on wallstation locations. Refer to one-line and project specific wiring diagrams.
Communication Wiring #
Ensure that all high voltage and Class-2 low voltage wiring remains separated by a minimum distance of 1 foot and is installed per NEC code.
Dimming, 0-10v #
CK4A ONLY – Verify all areas that require dimming. Dimmed zones will require 0-10v wiring to run between all fixtures back to the CK4A. Test all dimming zones by removing the 0-10v wiring from the panel, fixtures will go full bright, touch the low voltage wires together, fixtures will go full dim. All fixtures should be tested and dimming correctly for each connected zone.
Dimming, ELV-MLV #
Additional dimming modules are required when controlling ELV-MLV fixtures. A PD-216, LDCM, or LR01 dimming module will be installed between the CK4A panel and the fixture(s) to convert 0-10v dimming to line volt dimming. Wiring diagrams are included with the Controls plans.
Occupancy Sensors #
Install ceiling occupancy sensors 4-6 feet away from air supply vents. Locations of devices shown on plans are just a graphical representation. All wired sensors will need to be configured with correct timeout and sensitivity adjusted and is the responsibility of the Electrical Contractor. DO NOT leave occupancy sensors in factory default Auto mode.
Documentation / Maintenance #
Document all relays, dimming outputs, and additional device inputs being used for controlled zones. For any future maintenance, it is best practice to label field devices for what they are controlling and create an accurate as-built of device locations for future troubleshooting.
Manual testing of relays and dimming outputs from the panel can be done before we arrive for programming. View documentation provided with your panel for instructions.
Greengate panels all have a manual override for All ON, All OFF, and run standard program mode. Refer to the specification sheet / install instructions for the override location.
