GL-IPAC-SW8
Overview
The GL-IPAC-SW8 switching panel provides internal controls for 8 circuits of switched load and is expandable to support up to 64 circuits of switched load by adding external panels and switching modules. It features local inputs for sensors and keypads, along with
an LCD user interface where installers or users can set up the system without having to connect to a computer.
The GL-IPAC-SW8 is perfect for smaller-sized installations, such as retail stores, small office spaces, parking garages, and service stations, which typically require only on/off switching—eliminating the need for a larger, more expensive panel. In addition, the
GL-IPAC-SW8 can be easily integrated with Crestron
Out-of-the-Box Lighting Control
The GL-IPAC-SW8 comes preconfigured for use as the central control processor for a Crestron Green Light
64 switched loads, 16 local and two remote keypads, 24 occupancy and photo sensors, and 100 time clock events.
Keypads with as many as 12 buttons each can be programmed easily to control lighting loads and other functions. Lights can be programmed to turn on and off automatically using the built-in astronomical time clock. Lighting events may be programmed to occur at
specific times or at an offset from sunrise or sunset. Occupancy sensors and photo sensors may also be implemented to enable automatic on/off lighting control based on room occupancy and ambient light levels.
Save Energy
Built-in support for occupancy and photo sensors helps to strike a perfect balance between daylight harvesting and comfort, reducing energy costs. Automatically turn off lights in unoccupied areas to allow natural light level in the space to light the area. Crestron
GLS sensors can be placed strategically in each space to maximize the benefits of energy management.
Easy Deployment
Packaged in one metal enclosure, the GL-IPAC-SW8 can be deployed in small
spaces, including plenum ceilings. The surface-mount GL-IPAC-SW8 can be affixed
to a wall or ceiling rafter, cleanly out of sight. Standard wire-entry knockouts are
provided.
