SwitchPak - SPAK BAS

Operation and Programming

If you do not select the correct input phase your product warranty may be void if you experience micro-welding of the

relays. Setting the input phase correctly switches the relays only at zero cross, signiﬁcantly reducing the possibility of

micro welding. The initial warning prompt and alert beep experienced at start up WILL NOT end until you select and save

the POWER PHASE.

Follow the steps shown in the ﬂow diagram below to set the power supply phase.

SwitchPak uses schedule events to control one or more circuits (RELAYS). For each scheduled event, RELAYS can be

selected to switch ON, OFF, or NO CHANGE, (not selected for event) eliminating the need to have both ON and OFF

events at the same scheduled time. Each schedule event can be assigned to any combination of days.

SwitchPak - SPAK BAS

Operation and Programming

WHEN: (EVENT PARAMETERS)

TIME – The time the event will occur. The time is displayed as HH:MM with an AM/PM indicator.

Note: The system time must be correct for scheduled events to operate correctly. The system time setting is

edited under SETTINGS, TIME/DATE. See the ‘HOW DO I SET THE SYSTEM TIME AND DATE’ section for more

details.

DUSK – The event occurs at dusk based on the internal astronomic time-clock function. A positive or negative offset up

to 999 minutes can be set for a DUSK event. A positive offset will set the event to occur the speciﬁed number of

minutes after DUSK. A negative offset will set the event to occur the speciﬁed number of minutes before DUSK.

Note: The system location must be correct for the DUSK/DAWN event to operate correctly. The system location

setting is edited under SETTINGS, LOCATION. See the ‘HOW DO I SET THE SYSTEM LOCATION’ section for

more details.

DAWN – The event occurs at dawn based on the internal astronomic time-clock function. A positive or negative offset up

to 999 minutes can be set for a DAWN event. A positive offset will set the event to occur the speciﬁed number of

minutes after DAWN. A negative offset will set the event to occur the speciﬁed number of minutes after DAWN.

Note: The system location must be correct for the DUSK/DAWN event to operate correctly. The system location

setting is edited under SETTINGS, LOCATION. See the ‘HOW DO I SET THE SYSTEM LOCATION’ section for

more details.

NONE – The event can be permanently REMOVED by setting the TIME ﬁeld to NONE.

SwitchPak contains 32 holiday (calendar) dates for special occasions. Events occurring on holiday dates override

any standard schedule events. Holiday dates are entered using the MM/DD/YY format. Once the holiday date(s) are

programmed, use the HOLIDAYS button to assign programmed events to the holiday date. See ‘HOW DO I PROGRAM A

SwitchPak - SPAK BAS

Operation and Programming

How Do I Assign A Switch To Control A Circuit?

SwitchPak can assign a switch (INPUT) to control one or multiple circuits (RELAYS.) This eliminates the need to rewire

switches and loads if your control scheme changes. Switchpak contains eight inputs for switches, sensors or other dry

contact closure devices.

The ﬂow diagram below shows the programming steps to conﬁgure an input.

TYPES:

MAINTAINED (2-wire SPST) – Terminated between ON and COM. Typically a standard wallswitch that is used in

residential applications. A maintained switch can also be terminated between OFF and COM to provide an

inverted output.

ALTERNATE (2-wire momentary SPST) – Terminated between ON and COM. Press once to turn ON. Press again to

turn OFF. Example Cat # - LVRS 1G 8BT

3-WIRE MOMENTARY (SPDT) – Terminated between ON, OFF and COM. Typically has an ON and OFF button. Press

the ON button to turn the relay(s) on and the OFF button to turn the relay(s) off. Example Catalog # - LVMS IV.

DISABLED – The INPUT is not used. Any switches, photocells, or sensors wired to this input will not function.

Interfacing to other building systems

Others systems such as re alarm, HVAC and energy management are often required to control a building’s lighting.

These systems interface to SwitchPak using dry-contact closures via Class 2, low-voltage conductors. Typically these

inputs are connected in the “Maintained” INPUT scenario shown above and programmed like any other switch input.

TIMEOUT - A timer can be associated with an INPUT that will turn the lights OFF after a specied time. Some states or

local codes require an override switch to keep the lights on for only 2 or 4 hours. Enter the time in minutes the

switch should keep the lights ON.
