Introduction This document provides an installation guide and user operation manual for the E-Flex 1.2.3 room controller. The E-Flex room controller is designed for 120-277V AC, 47-63 Hz installations providing controlled switching of up to three zones as well 0-10V dimming with a single circuit feed. 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 Room Controller 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.
Check the contents of the shipping container against the packing list and ensure that the order is complete. If there are any discrepancies with the contents of the shipment, contact Lehigh customer service. Mounting ...
Circuit Breaker Protection Prior to installation of the E-Flex room controller make sure that you have installed a main circuit breaker cabinet or other input power disconnect. Warning: Without an Accessible power disconnect (breaker) the E-Flex room controller cannot be operated or serviced safely. Terminations and Conduit Access ...

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. Do not connect 24V supplies between two or more controllers sharing same input signals. However you must connect the COM signal.
0-10V Outputs #24-16 AWG wires, strip length – 3/16 in. Connect only to NEC Class 2 circuits. Connection to non-isolated fixture drivers is not recommended (see warranty disclaimer). 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.

Switch and Jumper Configuration The E-Flex room controller provides dip switches to configure zone assignment to inputs without the use of software. The hardware settings can be overridden when configured by E-Flex Flextool software for Windows. Setting On-board Sensor to Zone Configuration (SW5) SW5 Position Function OCC-Zone 1...
CapT2 Station Configuration There are four CapT signals available on the Cat5 cable connecting stations and E-Flex controllers corresponding to a physical input on the controllers. Each CapT signal can have multiple stations connected to it (see power load capability). Each CapT signal is then assigned to control a zone(s) on the E-Flex room controller using either hardware jumpers or software configuration (E-Flex Flextool for Windows).
Power Up and Configuration Pre-Check Clean out metal scraps, dust, and debris from the room controller 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.
