OPERATION GUIDE

The NX Room Controller is designed to control and manage lighting within a single room or zone in a building. Working in conjunction with an

occupancy sensor(s), daylight sensor, and wall switch station(s), the room controller intelligently responds to inputs to perform the required lighting

control sequence of operation. The room controller operates with the connected control devices as a stand-alone local control system but can be

extended to participate in a building-wide networked lighting control system with the addition of the NXHNB Network Bridge Module.

(e.g. occupancy sensors, daylight sensor and switches) to any available Smart Port

CONNECTING MULTIPLE ROOM CONTROLLERS

Room controllers can be inter-connected to expand the number of relays and dimmers in the room or to allow the use of more than one voltage. Use

CAT5 cable(s) to connect the room controllers in a daisy chain configuration. That is, no more than one RJ45 port in each room controller should be

used for this connection. A maximum of 8 room controllers may be connected for a maximum of 16 relays and 16 dimmers. Self configuration will

function normally up to a maximum of 6 loads. Manual configuration will be required beyond 6 loads.

CONNECTING LOW VOLTAGE CONTROL DEVICES

The Room Controller provides a source of 24 VDC current to power the connected control devices such as switch stations and sensors. A maximum

of 250 mA of 24 VDC current is available. Since the control components draw differing amounts of current, the following table should be used to

determine how many control devices can be connected to a single room controller. In cases where two or more room controllers are connected

together, the power budget is determined for each room controller based on the control devices that are plugged into that room controller. See

Figure 3.

MAXIMUM POWER BUDGET PER ROOM CONTROLLER = 30 LOADS

Switch station = 1 Load

PIR only Occupancy sensor = 1 Load

PIR only Occupancy sensor with RP option = 2 Loads

Dual Technology and Ultrasonic Occupancy sensor = 3 Loads

Dual Technology and Ultrasonic Occupancy sensor with RP option = 4 Loads

Daylight Sensor (photocell) = 1 Load

NOTE: Only one daylight sensor can be connected in each room/zone

SELF CONFIGURATION

The sequence of operation in the room will automatically reconfigure as devices are plugged into the room controller as described in the following

sections. Note that self configuration will automatically be disabled once the room has been manually configured. See Manual Configuration section.

OCCUPANCY SENSORS

The NX room controller is compatible with any low voltage Hubbell Building Automation vacancy/occupancy sensor that uses the red/black/blue

control wires. A wiring adapter (RJ45ADAPTOR) is required to make the wiring transition from the flying leads on the sensor to the RJ-45 Smart Port

on the room controller. Hubbell Building Automation sensors ordered under model NXOS series model numbers are automatically supplied with the

adapter and a short CAT5 jumper cable.
