Applications for Common Input Types
Common Input Applications shows how the input configuration types can be used in common applications.
Common Input Applications
| Application | Switch Type/Input | Switch Diagram | Branch Circuit Diagram* | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ON/OFF wall switch | Momentary switch (configured for momentary toggle) | Switches toggle lights ON and OFF. | ||
| Multi-level switching | Momentary switch | SW1 is mapped to Circuit 1 for 67% level
lighting. Successive presses of SW1 will switch Circuit 1 ON and OFF. SW2 is mapped to Circuit 2 for 33% level lighting. Successive presses of the SW2 will switch Circuit 2 ON and OFF. Use SW1 and SW2 to turn ON both circuits for 100% lighting. |
||
| Input 1: Momentary toggle | ||||
| Input 2: Momentary toggle | ||||
| Time clock with wall switch override | Internal time clock with logic type set to OR | Zone 1 is programmed with a schedule.
Lights will remain ON during programmed time periods. Zone 1 is mapped to Circuit 1. Toggling SW1 has no control during scheduled ON periods, however, during OFF periods SW1 will toggle lights ON/OFF. A timer on SW1 will switch lights OFF after preset period, unless they are manually toggled OFF. |
||
| Momentary switch wired to Input (configured for momentary toggle with timer) | ||||
| Two switches controlling the same group of lights (such as typical three–way line voltage switch arrangement) | Two momentary switches (configured for momentary toggle) | Either switch SW1 or SW2 will toggle lights ON and OFF. | ||
| Occupancy sensor controlling a group of circuit breakers. | Occupancy-rated sensor wired to Input 1 (configured for maintained N.O.) | Input 1 is mapped to Circuit 1 and Circuit 2. When motion is detected, the occupancy sensor contact will close, causing circuit breakers 1 and 2 to close. | ||
| Control power supplied by auxiliary power supply. | ||||
| Photo sensor | Photo controller contact N.O. wired to Input 1 (configured for maintained N.O.) | When SW1 closes, the circuit breaker that feeds circuits 1 and 3 will switch ON and remain ON until SW1 contact opens. | ||
| Photo sensor with manual override and timer | Photo controller contact N.O. wired to Input 1 (configured for maintained N.O.) | When SW1 closes, the circuit breaker
that feeds circuits 1 and 3 will switch ON and remain ON until SW1
contact opens. Override SW2 is provided to switch lights ON for periods when photo controller has open contact. Timer prevents override from remaining ON indefinitely. |
||
| Momentary Switch wired to Input 2 (configured for momentary toggle with timer) | ||||
| Photo sensor with clock override | Internal time clock with logic type set to AND, and with Input 1 wired to an N.O. photo controller (configured for maintained N.O.) | Internal time clock prevents photo cell
from switching lights ON during present scheduled periods. SW2 provides a timed override. |
||
| Momentary switch wired to input 2 (configured for momentary toggle with timer) |
| N.O. = Normally Open | |
| N.C. = Normally Closed | |
