Introduction This document provides an installation guide and user operation manual for the E-Flex relay panel. The E-Flex relay panel is designed for 120-277V AC, 47-63 Hz installations providing controlled switching of four or eight zones as well 0-10V dimming. Inputs for occupancy and daylight sensors provide for standalone energy management.
Glossary of Terms Demand Response Energy codes and energy companies have growing requirements to reduce your power consumption during high-energy usage. The Room Controller meets these energy requirements by accepting a contact input from the power company to impose a maximum output per zone. LightsOut - LightsOut is the period of time when lights should be at the LightsOut preset (typically, Off) unless there is user intervention.
Codes/Standards The E-Flex relay panel meets or exceeds the following safety standards: UL924 for Emergency Lighting and Power Equipment UL508 for Industrial Controls Equipment Safeguards IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS Basic safety precautions should be followed when using this electrical equipment including the following: READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFTY INSTRUCTIONS.

Wiring Requirements All line voltage wiring must be in conduit or use other approved wiring Note: methods, and the cabinet must be grounded using the ground stud connection. Low voltage wiring must be run in separate conduit from input power. High voltage Wiring Warning: RISK OF DEATH OR ELECTRIC SHOCK! Before installing input power to the...
Voltage Barriers: Separate Normal/Emergency, 120V, and 277V. If more than one power source is supplied to the relay panel a voltage barrier is Warning: required by local code. The voltage barrier is an accessory, sold separately. Order Lehigh part number A1678. E-Flex User Manual, Rev. 1.30...
Low Voltage Wiring Follow all national and local codes for separation requirements. Do not combine Class 2 and Class 1 wiring. Low voltage control cables must be run in separate conduit from input power wires. Low Voltage Side Diagram 8-circuit panel shown, 4-circuit is same connections except for 0-10V outputs 5 thru 8. E-Flex User Manual, Rev.
0-10V Outputs #20-12 AWG wires, strip length – ¼ in., torque – 3.5 lbs. Sinking only outputs. Connect only to NEC Class 2 circuits. Limit distance run for analog control wiring from controller to last driver. Limiting to a voltage drop of .3V maximum will help ensure meeting IEC 60929 Annex E standard for minimum light level at 1V.
Controller Power Load Capability Each E-Flex relay panel (EFRP) can provide 24 VDC power for some number of input control devices – occupancy sensors, daylight sensors, CapT stations, etc. The charts below provide power supply load information for the E-Flex. Controller Load Capability Controller Unit Load Capacity*...
SW5 – FlexNet Termination Default OFF, set to ON for each end of line device. Should only be two end-of-line devices in a system. SW6 – DMX Termination Default OFF, set to ON for each end of line device. Should only be two end-of-line devices in a system.
Power Up and Configuration Pre-Check Clean out metal scraps, dust, and debris from the relay panel enclosure. Inspect low and high voltage wiring for loose connections, bare or damaged insulation. Mount the high voltage cover. Verify that all configuration dip switches and jumpers are set per the installation requirements. See section on switch configuration, page 11.
User Interface An on-board user interface is provided for program settings. In addition the E-Flex Flextool Configurator software can be used with a PC for program settings as well. The user interface includes a .4 inch, 4-digit 7-segment LED display, and seven navigation buttons. The buttons include: ...
Input Programming Use the input menu to configure occupancy, daylight, contact closure, or CapT inputs on the E-Flex relay panel. Each input type and its terminal block, is grouped into a bank of inputs – INP1, INP2, INP3, and INP4. Each bank has one of each type of input - occ1, day1, cci1, capt1, occ2, day2, and so on. Press Menu, the display will show the Inp1 menu item.
Hi – active high* (default) Lo – active low* Press Sel to choose the displayed option. The apostrophe LED will be lit for the current selected option. Press Store button to record the new setting. *Note: Dip switch SW2-x must be set to ON for active low, OFF for active high. Assign Zones to Occupancy Input Press Enter at the occX menu, the options list control is displayed.
Daylight Sensor Inputs Navigate to DayX menu Press Menu, inpX menu is displayed. Press Enter, the occX menu is displayed. Press Up to scroll to the dayX menu. Note: The user can press the Input button at this time to switch to an daylight input on a different input bank.
Contact Closure Inputs Navigate to cciX menu Press Menu, inpX menu is displayed. Press Enter, the occX menu is displayed. Press the Up button twice to scroll to the cciX menu. Note: The user can press the Input button at this time to switch to an CCI input on a different input bank. The menu will advance from cci1 to cci2, thru to cci4.
