Cresnet Occupancy Sensor and Photocell Wired Using Cresnet The following illustration indicates how to wire an occupancy sensor and photocell using Cresnet. NOTE: A maximum of 10 Cresnet occupancy senors may be connected. Occupancy Sensor Wired to Cresnet Port Using a GLS-SIM Use the dials to set the ID of the GLS-SIM to C0 - C9 to match the ID defined in the program.

Photocell Wired to SENSORS 5-8 Port Photocells can only be wired to the right SENSORS 5-8 port. Photocell Wired Using Cresnet to GLS-SIM Use the dials to set the ID of the GLS-SIM to C0 - C9 to match the ID defined in the program. NOTE: A maximum of 10 GLS-SIMs may be connected.

Using GLS-PLS-120/277 to Provide Override Control A GLS-PLS-120/277 connects to 3-phase inputs and neutral power connections. The OUTPUT 1 or OUTPUT 2 port connects to the OVERRIDE OR G port on the GL-IPAC-SW8. Adding an Additional Lighting Panel Adding an additional lighting panel to the GL-IPAC-SW8 is accomplished by connecting the two panels together via the CRESNET 24 Y Z G port.
Use Crestron Certified Wire only. If Cresnet units are to be daisy chained on the run, the Cresnet power usage of each network unit to be daisy chained must be added together to determine the Cresnet power usage of the entire chain.
Make sure the cable length value is less than the value calculated on the right side of the equation. For example, a Cresnet run using 18 AWG Crestron Certified Wire and drawing 20 watts should not have a length of run more than 333 feet (101 meters). If Cresnet HP is used for the same run, its length could extend to 1250 feet (381 meters).
Configuration Use the front panel controls and display to configure the GL-IPAC-SW8. The following controls are used to navigate the front panel display: ▲, ▼, ENTER, HOME, BACK, CANCEL, and HELP. There are four soft buttons which perform the functions listed above them on the front panel display screen.
Project Settings Project Settings sets the geographical location of the GL-IPAC-SW8 installation as well as the time, date, and Daylight Savings Time settings. Select Project Settings from the Setup menu to configure the GL-IPAC-SW8 time settings. 1. Use ▼ and ▲ to select the GL-IPAC-SW8's state. Select State Screen 2.
9. Press ENTER to make the selection and Exit to save the settings and return to the Setup menu. Daylight Savings Time Screen Panels Panels configures the additional lighting panels controlled by the GL-IPAC-SW8. Select Panels from the Setup menu to modify external panel lighting loads. The Load Count screen identifies internal and external loads on the GL-IPAC-SW8.
Set External Load IDs Each load in an external panel is controlled by a lighting module. To properly control the external loads in a system, the connected modules must be identified to the GL-IPAC-SW8. To identify the connected modules: 1. Set the ID of an external module according to the list on the right side of the screen. 2.
Internally Connected Occupancy Sensors To configure: 1. From the Occ Sensr List screen, highlight an internal sensor using ▼ and ▲. 2. Press Test to enter the Internal Sensor Test screen. 3. Press Type to define one of the available states: Active Hi (Default) Active Lo Normally Open (N/O)
2. Use ▼ and ▲ to select the desired option and press OK. Find Sensor B1.1 Screen 3. After a Cresnet occupancy sensor is found, press Test to confirm functionality. State describes the current state of the sensor: occupied or vacant. Raw shows what the sensor is currently detecting;...
5. Set the type of sensor on the GLS-SIM using the DIP switches. Refer to the GLS-SIM Operations and Installation Guide (Doc. 6768). Status shows the current sensor state based on the set type. Press OK to return to the Occ Sensor List screen. Sensor C0.1 Screen Assign an Occupancy Sensor On the Sensor Load Assignment screen, loads L1.1 through L1.8 are displayed.
Page 28
4. Press Mode to assign an action to the load: On/Off turns the load on and off based upon occupancy or vacancy. Off Only turns the load off based upon vacancy. Auto/Off allows the sensor to detect occupancy and then checks the ambient light levels to determine if the lights should be turned on.
Photo Sensors Photo Sensors configures loads and lighting thresholds for photo sensors attached to the GL-IPAC-SW8. Select Photo Sensors from the Setup menu to enter the Photocell List screen. The screen displays the available photo sensors. The GL-IPAC-SW8 types of sensors include: 4 internal (Sensors 5 through 8) 10 external non-system sensors wired directly to a Cresnet occupancy sensor (Sensors B0.2 through B9.2)
4. Press Next to advance to the Ctrl Type screen. The control type assigns what the sensor is going to do to the specific loads it is assigned to. There are three options: On/Off, Hi/Lo/Off, and Hi/Med/Lo/Off. On/Off determines when the photo sensor turns lights on after ambient light levels drop below the assigned threshold and when the photo sensors turn lights off after ambient light levels rise above the assigned threshold.
When the light level is less than L1, both Lo and Hi lights are on. When the light level is greater than L2, both Lo and Hi lights are off. When the light level is between L1 and L2, Lo lights are on and Hi lights are off. To adjust the levels: 1.
3. Press OK to save assignments. Photocell Assignments Screen Keypads Keypads configures all keypads in the system. A total of 16 external keypads can be connected to the GL-IPAC-SW8. To configure keypads: 1. Select Keypads from the Setup menu. 2. Press Find to begin the keypad search process. 3.
6. After pressing Press, Auto Select is initiated. Press a button on the keypad to program it. The GL-IPAC-SW8 directs the user to the Select Btn screen. Keypads: Auto Select Screen Program Button Function To manually program or edit a button’s function, select the button on the Select Btn screen. Press Edit to display functions.
2. Select Next to assign loads to the button. Select Btn Type Screen The Select Loads screen appears. If a button is set to On, Off, Toggle, or Custom, the loads affected by the button press must be selected. Affected loads have the function displayed next to the load ID.
5. Press Set to confirm the address. The GL-IPAC-SW8 must be restarted after altering the IP address. NOTE: After setting the IP address of the remote control system, an EIC must be added to the remote system program. On the EIC, joins 200-219 are dedicated for the remote keypads.
Unlock GL-IPAC-SW8, and Lock/Unlock GL-IPAC-SW8. 3. Press Next to edit the controlled loads if the selection was On, Off, Toggle, or Custom. Other selections navigate to the Contact Closures screen. NOTE: Contact closures maintain logic functionality. Select function Screen If a contact closure is set to On, Off, Toggle, or Custom then the Select Loads screen is displayed.
