Naming the Circuit Breakers

To assign or change circuit breaker names to specific panels, follow these steps:

From the MAIN SCREEN, select SETUP > PANEL > BREAKER > BREAKER NAME, as follows:
NOTE: Verify the desired panel number is selected before assigning or renaming a breaker. Only detected breakers are available when scrolling through breakers (BKR).
Select the desired panel number (PNL 001 is displayed) (see Entering or Changing a Name in the section Operating the Display) and breaker number (BKR 001 is displayed) combination you want to assign or rename.
Enter the name of the breaker (see Entering or Changing a Name ).
To save, press the “<” key to return to the BREAKER SETUP screen OR select a different PNL or BKR number.

Blink Notice

Controllers can be configured to notify occupants that circuits have been commanded OFF. Typically, this feature is used to give notice that the lights will turn OFF in a specified amount of time. Circuits blink according to the blink type selected for the circuit during configuration (see Setting a Blink Type).

Using a Controller with Sweep Switches

A sweep switch, such as a Sentry® switch, is a line-voltage wall switch that will automatically reset itself to the OFF position when power is interrupted. The Pulse OFF and Pulse Repeat blink types are provided for use with a sweep switch.

NOTE: See Example of a Controller Schedule Using a Sweep Switch for information on how a controller uses sweep switches in schedules.

Effect on Circuit Voltage

Remotely operated circuit breakers normally turn ON or OFF in response to a command. When Pulse OFF or Pulse Repeat is selected, circuit voltage will remain ON at all times, with the following exceptions:

A single, momentary OFF pulse will occur whenever the breaker state is commanded OFF. When Pulse Repeat is selected, additional pulses will occur at the pulse repeat frequency as long as the breaker remains commanded OFF.
When first configuring a blink type as either Pulse OFF or Pulse Repeat. If the breaker is OFF when the blink type is selected, it will remain OFF until it is commanded ON. It will remain ON thereafter, except during an OFF pulse.

Setting up Pulse Blink Types

There are two examples of Pulse blink types:

Pulse OFF
Pulse Repeat

Pulse OFF Application

A schedule is created to sweep the lights OFF during unoccupied hours. The controller requires a gap in time schedule periods to produce a change to the OFF state. A series of time periods with one minute gaps should be configured.

EXAMPLE: a facility that has normal operating hours from 7am to 7pm could use this schedule:

Example of a Controller Schedule Using a Sweep Switch

Start Time	End Time	Description
7:00 AM	7:00 PM	Sweep @ 7PM
7:01 PM	9:00 PM	Sweep @ 9 PM
9:01 PM	12:00 AM	Sweep @ Midnight

Pulse Repeat Application

A schedule is created that only includes the normal operating hours, but it is desired that repetitive OFF sweeps occur during the unscheduled time. The Pulse Repeat blink type is selected and the interval is set to 120 minutes.

Example of a Controller Schedule Using PULSE REPEAT Blink Type

Start Time	End Time	Description
7:00 AM	7:00 PM	Sweep @ 7PM and every 2 hours thereafter until 7:00 AM

Setting a Blink Type

See Setting up Circuit Breaker Timing to set the time period between a blink and a circuit turning OFF.

To set the blink type, follow these steps:

From the MAIN MENU screen, select SETUP > PANEL > BREAKER.

The BREAKER SETUP BLINK TYPE screen displays:
In this screen, the BLINK TYPE for circuit breaker 001 (named BKR 1) on control bus 01 is set to NONE.
Select the panel (PNL) number and the circuit breaker (BKR) number to be configured. If they are set up, the BUS and BKR names display.
Select a Blink Type (see Circuit Breaker Blink Types for the seven different blink types).
To save, press the “<” key to return to the PANEL SETUP MENU screen or select a different PNL or BKR number.

Blink Type

The blink type refers to the behavior of circuit breakers when they are commanded OFF. See Circuit Breaker Blink Types for blink types and descriptions.

Circuit Breaker Blink Types

Blink Type	Screen Example	Description
None		The circuit breaker turns OFF immediately, without a blink notice (default setting).
Single		The circuit breaker blinks once to notify that the circuit breaker will turn OFF in a specified amount of time, unless it is commanded back ON.
Double		The circuit breaker blinks twice to notify the circuit breaker is about to turn OFF. The second blink occurs one minute prior to the circuit turning OFF.
Triple		The circuit breaker blinks three times to notify the circuit breaker is about to turn OFF. A second blink occurs 2 minutes prior to the circuit turning OFF. The third blink occurs one minute prior to the circuit turning OFF.
Delay only		The circuit will turn OFF in the specified amount of time, but will not blink. This is typically used for loads that cannot blink, such as high intensity discharge (HID) lights. These loads are generally assigned to the same zone with loads that can blink. EXAMPLE: in a factory setting both the HID lights and normal lighting are assigned to the same zone. The normal lighting has a blink type of SINGLE, and the HID lighting has a blink type of DELAY ONLY. At the end of the scheduled time period, the normal lighting blinks, signaling that the lights will be turned OFF; the HID lighting does not blink, and the lighting remains ON. The occupant can turn ON the zone’s override switch to keep both types of lighting ON. Otherwise, both sets of lights will turn OFF at the end of the countdown (see Setting up Circuit Breaker Timing).
Pulse OFF*		The circuit breaker is turned OFF for a predetermined time and then returns to the ON state.
Pulse Repeat*		The circuit breaker is turned OFF based on a preset amount of time.

Single Blink Operation

When a circuit breaker‘s blink configuration is set to single blink, and the breaker’s intended state transitions to OFF as a result of an automatic event, the breaker blinks (turns OFF for 0.5s) and then turns back ON. The breaker blink flag is set, and the blink timer starts, initialized to the configured blink-to-OFF delay. The timer counts down in seconds. If no change occurs in the intended state, when the timer expires, the breaker turns OFF. If the intended state turns ON while the blink flag is set, the blink flag is cleared, and the timer is set to 0.

EXAMPLE: Blink To Off Delay = 300 seconds

Double Blink Operation

When a circuit breaker’s blink configuration is set to double blink, and the breaker’s intended state transitions to OFF as a result of an automatic event, the breaker blinks (turns OFF for 0.5 seconds) and then turns back ON. Both the breaker blink flag and the breaker double blink flag are set, and the blink timer starts, initialized to the configured blink-to-OFF delay less 1 minute. The timer counts down in seconds. If no change occurs in the intended state, when the timer expires, the breaker blinks again. Both the breaker blink flag and the breaker double blink flag are cleared. Then, the breaker blink flag is set, and the blink timer starts, initialized now to 1 minute. If no change occurs in the intended state, when the timer expires, the breaker turns OFF. If the intended state turns ON while the blink flag is set, the blink flag is cleared, and the timer is set to 0.

EXAMPLE: Blink To Off Delay = 300 seconds

Triple Blink Operation

When a circuit breaker’s blink configuration is set to triple blink, and the breaker’s intended state transitions to OFF as a result of an automatic event, the breaker blinks (turns OFF for 0.5s) and then turns back ON. Both the breaker blink flag and the breaker triple blink flag are set, and the blink timer starts, initialized to the configured blink-to-OFF delay less 2 minute. The timer counts down in seconds. If no change occurs in the intended state, when the timer expires, the breaker blinks again. Both the breaker blink flag and the breaker triple blink flag are cleared. Then, the breaker blink flag and double blink flag are set, and the blink timer starts, initialized now to 1 minute. If no change occurs in the intended state, when the timer expires, the breaker turns OFF. Both the breaker blink flag and the breaker double blink flag are cleared. Then, the breaker blink flag is set, and the blink timer starts, initialized now to 1 minute. If the intended state turns ON while the blink flag is set, the blink flag is cleared, and the timer is set to 0.

EXAMPLE: Blink To Off Delay = 300 seconds
