  • Page 4: Chapter 1: System & Component Overview

    • Leviton Personal Dimmer (LPD) • Leviton Personal Dimmer Administrator (LPDA) Energy Management Features The CN100 Dimming Power Pack provides 0 to 10VDC fluorescent ballast dimming control and can be wired to several, peripheral components to add increasing levels of energy management. Daylight Harvesting Daylight harvesting means using surrounding ambient (often natural) light to supplement artificial light in order to keep a constant lighting level while saving electricity.
  • Page 5: Occupancy Sensing

    In general, the Power Pack will adjust a load’s output level to the lowest light level called for by an active input: Leviton refers to this as the Least Light Law. For example, if the Power Pack is turned on (either manually or by occupancy) and the Light Maintain Level calls for a lower output level than the last preset manual level, the lights will adjust to the lower Light Maintain Level.
  • Page 6: User Control & Convenience

    The Power Pack is the interface between lights and Leviton occupancy sensors, photocell, and various control interfaces. The CN100 is suitable for use with dimmable electronic ballasts using a 0 to 10VDC dimming signal, such as Advanced Mark VII, OSRAM Sylvania Quicktronic Helios, and ESI. LPDA software supports building management functions such as time clock, emergency, and loadshed.

  • Page 8: Occupancy Sensors

    Centura System. Any Leviton ODC- or ODW-prefixed low voltage occupancy sensor (Figures 1-2 and 1-3) can be incorporated into a Centura System. This range of models encompasses sensors with a number of differentiating features.
  • Page 9: Selection & Placement

    Note: For additional information regarding occupancy sensor selection and placement, contact a Leviton Representative. Occupancy Sensor Specifications Product ratings and specifications vary based on selected models and can be found in the Leviton Lighting Controls or D-502-series or later catalogs, as well as within product packaging. ODC-series Diameter: 4.53in.
  • Page 10: Photocell

    In order to ensure that lighting brightens and dims appropriately, care must be taken in choosing a mounting location. Leviton recommends that the photocell be mounted directly above the workspace where lighting is most critical. Only one photocell should be installed per Power Pack.
  • Page 11: Centura Dimming Controller With Ir

    SYSTEM & COMPONENT OVERVIEW • DIMMING CONTROLLER CENTURA DIMMING CONTROLLER WITH IR The CN200 Dimming Controller with IR (Figure 1-7) is a five-button wall station that can be used to turn fixtures on, off, and set brightness levels either manually or via hand-held remote control. The unit has five buttons: On, Off, Dim, Bright, and Max (or full bright).

    Size: 4.13 x 2.38 x 1.59in. (10.5 x 6.1 x 4.0cm) INFRARED REMOTE CONTROL Leviton’s NE200 Infrared Remote Control (Figure 1-10) has been specifically designed to allow lighting control and programming from up to 40 feet from a CN200 Controller. The infrared remote control has four programming buttons, four preset buttons, and four lighting control buttons: On, Off, Dim and Bright.
  • Page 13: Desktop Lighting Control

    For example, suppose you want to brighten the lights in your office from your computer. If you keep the Leviton Personal Dimmer open, on your desktop, the fastest way is to move the Quick Slider to a new position. The client software now sends an HTTP message to the server software over the building Intranet, which is routed just like any other HTTP message from a networked computer.
  • Page 14: System Requirements For Leviton Software

    Leviton HTTP Server contains a configuration file with data on users as well as server settings and can display this information. A file within Leviton HTTP Server maps each computer to the correct Power Pack address so that only those authorized to control certain lights can do so.

    SYSTEM & COMPONENT OVERVIEW • LPD DIMMER LEVITON PERSONAL DIMMER The Leviton Personal Dimmer (LPD) is computer software that interfaces with the Centura lighting system. Figure 1-13 shows the main LPD screen. The LPD must be installed on every computer on which lighting control is desired, and can be configured to control the lights above that user’s...
  • Page 16: Leviton Personal Dimmer Administrator

    LEVITON PERSONAL DIMMER ADMINISTRATOR The Leviton Personal Dimmer Administrator (LPDA) is software that allows the lighting administrator to view and control the whole system from a single location, without having to run to different stations. The LPDA interacts with the HTTP Server to obtain information on all nodes in the system (see Figure 1-16.) and generates printouts.

  • Page 18: Scenario 3: Dimming System With Maximum User Control For Closed Rooms

    This setup is ideal for the average “cube farm” or open space where the absence of walls makes it more practical for users to control lighting via computer. In this scenario, a Leviton Personal Dimmer is loaded onto each PC, which is given control over only one load bank. Occupancy sensors are added to make sure that no load is inadvertently left on, therefore conserving energy and saving money.
  • Page 19: Scenario 5: Dimming System With Maximum User Control For Open Spaces

    In an open area, especially with cubicles, Centura is a great choice because it provides a Leviton Personal Dimmer that can be loaded onto individual PC’s. This allows occupants to adjust their lighting without walking to a wall switch, which may be across a large room and bunched up with so many other switches as to be hard to distinguish.

    2. Insert a third wire (as in a T). 3. Reconnect the wires. Note: Leviton recommends either (1) using IDC crimp-on connectors (such as 3M brand Scotchlok™ connectors) or (2) splicing the wire and connecting with wire nuts. If using wire nuts, make sure to use the appropriate size for a good connection.

    CN200’s, then the CN100 and CN200 which need to work together must be set to one address, say Address 2, and the other CN100 and other CN200 must be set to another, say Address 3.
  • Page 23: Node Limit

    INSTALLATION • PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS Node Limit A single Centura LCnet can carry as many as 16 unique address sets. If your installation requires more than 16 address sets, a separate LCnet wire must be used for every, additional 16-address set. So, for example, you need 3 separate LCnet wires for 42 address sets: 2 wires with 16 address sets each and 1 wire with 10 address sets.

CAUTION: If applicable, ensure that circuit conductors are properly capped off with wire connectors and removed from wallbox.
  • Page 30: Smartjack

    The SmartJack must be installed on the computer that will become the Centura Server. This computer must be part of a network that supports HTTP, and be loaded with Leviton HTTP Server software as well as LPDA software for administrators. See the next heading, Installing Leviton Software, for instructions.
  • Page 31: Leviton Software

    Installing Leviton Software There are three types of software you must install to enable desktop control over your Centura System: • Leviton HTTP Server (LPDS) – on the PC that has an NE100 SmartJack connected to it and meets the system requirements.
  • Page 32: Chapter 4: Programming

    CHAPTER 4: Programming INTRODUCTION Within the Centura lighting system, several settings MUST BE programmed for basic operation: addresses, minimum light level, and Light Maintain Level. These settings can be set via your choice of several Centura components—and will then be retained in the Power Pack’s memory. Except for the CN220 Switching Controller, which has no programming capabilities other than its own address, each component that can be used to adjust lighting can also be used to program at least some settings.
  • Page 33: Setting Addresses

    PROGRAMMING • SETTING ADDRESSES SETTING ADDRESSES General Information Each Power Pack must be assigned a unique address to allow it to communicate with any LCnet peripheral device set to the same address. Because you must remove either the wallplate or the controller itself to get to the controller’s Address Wheel, we suggest setting the addresses of each Centura Controller before installing it.
  • Page 34: With The Cn221 Dimming Controller

    (before you proceed to other controllers you want set to the same address). You can also use one of Leviton’s Personal Dimmers to set the Power Pack addresses. If all software and appropriate SmartJacks have already been installed and you’d like to set these addresses via computer, see the User Guide for instructions.
