Part II - Simple Mode Programming Your relay cabinets contain two modes of programming: simple, and advanced. Simple mode is designed to give you a very simple, question & answer means of programming your relay panel but only gives you access to a limted feature set of your product.
Configuration the Simple Way Your relay panel has two modes of configuration, Simple Mode and Advanced Mode. The default configuration mode is called Simple Mode and is designed to be a less complex streamlined mode for configuring and operating your relay panel. Simple mode differs from advanced mode in that many of the advanced features and configuration items have been removed from the menu structures.
Simple Mode Menu Structure For your reference as you are navigating through the menus, please find below the complete simple mode menu structure: MAIN MENU SELECT MAIN MENU SELECT QUICK SCHEDULE QUICK SCHEDULE NEW EVENT QUICK SCHEDULE CHANGE EVENT QUICK SCHEDULE DELETE EVENT Changing Configuration Modes Changing configuraiton modes is a simple process.
Configure Inputs There are three types of inputs which can be configured in your relay cabinet, Low Voltage Switch Inputs, Photocell Inputs, and Occupancy Sensor inputs. All Inputs are configured from the Config Inputs Screen which falls into the menu structure as shown as right.

Part III - Advanced Programming Guide Advanced configuration mode is designed to allow front panel access, operation, and programming of your relay panel, supporting the full capabilities of the product. This section of this user’s guide documents the advanced mode configuration menu structures.
Advanced Mode Menu Structure For your reference as you are navigating through the menus, please find below the top level advanced mode menu structures. Only top-level menus are shown. Some of the menus have many sub-menus which are detailed in the appropriate sections of this manual MON 02:37P E:001 STATUS:...
Global Defaults MAIN MENU SELECT MENU CONFIGURATION The global default menus give you access to many configuration parameters and options which "globally" affect your relay panel. Although these settings can help you quickly make changes to your panel, please make sure that you understand and expect the results. For example, changing the relay type in global defaults, will automatically and without warning change the relay type for every relay controlled by this cabinet.

Step 5: Step 6: Turning feedback On or Off: RELAY The feedback setting is used to toggle Luma-Net feedback on or off. When Luma-Net FEEDBACK: feedback is on for a relay, it means that when a level request is issued from that network, the relay with feedback "on"...
Altering the way a Relay Responds to the Emergency Signal: RELAY Each relay can be programmed to respond differently to the Emergency Input Signal EMERGENCY: ON (assuming the cabinet is connected in this fashion - Refer to the Installation section for wiring configurations).
As long as the id is unique on the network, you will not have any problems. Leviton uses system id’s 120-127 for it’s own dedicated network devices. Therefore Leviton recommends only your use of address 1-119.
Cabinet start address/Automatic Luma-Net channel assignment LUMA-NET SETUP START ADDR: The Luma-Net channel assignment for each relay can be automatically assigned from the start address defined for the cabinet. To assert this automatic channel assignment, simply change the start address under this menu. All relays will be automatically and incrementally renumbered starting from the new start address.
DMX512 MAIN MENU SELECT MENU CONFIGURATION DMX is an ANSI standard control protocol originally birthed from the entertainment industry. Now DMX is used still in the entertainment industry but also in many architectural applications. Your Z-Max cabinet, if so equipped, has the ability to receive DMX and allows each relay to be assigned to one of the 512 DMX channel addresses.
MENU CONFIGURATION Z-Max relay panels can be configured to work with an optionally installed modem module. When this module is installed, it can be configured to operate exclusively either as a Touch-Tone interface OR a modem. In touch-tone interface mode, you can control your panel remotely from a touch-tone telephone.
When the system is operating normally the top line of the LCD display shows the current day, time and the status of the event scheduler. The second line shows the status of your relay cabinet, or in the case of EZ-Max, the status of the four relays in the cabinet.
• a number indicates the number of the last event executed • Bottom Line - If an EZ-Max panel, shows the current status of the four relays in your panel. Either On, or Off. An asterick (*) adjacent to any relay indicate that particular relay is in an override state.
Operation Turning Relays On/Off from the front panel and front panel overrides PQRS In many circumstances where only use of the arrows keys are indicated, the number keys work equally as well for data entry. inactivity on any menu screen, the LCD will revert back to the status screen.

MAIN MENU SELECT MENU CONFIGURATION Z-Max relay panels can be configured to participate on an TCP/IP Ethernet network. From the ethernet network you can operate your panel from the command line interface (CLIF) or you can transfer data to/from various applications.
Priorities MAIN MENU SELECT MENU CONFIGURATION There are many control signals and events all coming into the relay cabinet at the same time. Priority levels are used to distinguish which event actually occurs when competing commands are sent. For example, consider the situation where you want the scheduler to turn the lights on in a lobby at 7:30am and off at 5:30pm so that the lights are on during business hours.
Page 76
Incorrect settings can cause relays to function incorrectly. In the event that a high-priority actions is required, Leviton recommends always using actions to which any execution priority level can be assigned.
Passwords MAIN MENU SELECT MENU CONFIGURATION Your Z-Max relay panel has security features built in which are used to secure access to the panel when accessing from any external network and can be used to secure local access to the panel. Security is controlled by a password which has defined access privileges associated with it.
• TON - turns on the associated group for a cabinet specified override time • BWO - initiates a blink warn for the associated group • BWC - cancels an in-progress blink warn for the associated group • OVRDON - turns on the group at the "higher" priority level as specified in the priority system setup option •...
Switch/Discrete Inputs MAIN MENU SELECT MENU CONFIGURATION The inputs section of the configuration menus allows you to configure all of the local and remote switch inputs to your relay cabinet. Configuring any switch input is a two- step process: Step 1: Step 2: The define types menu is where you define the type of device or function of the input, and the assign actions menu is where you define what happens when an input signal...
Step 7: Step 8: Step 9: Assign Actions to Inputs DISCRETE INPUTS Once you have defined the Switch type, you must associate an action to that switch. ASSIGN ACTIONS An action consists of two parts, a behavior which dictates how the switch input interacts with the relay cabinet, and second, you must assign relays and/or groups to reach to the input.
Step 5: Step 6: Relay assignment to inputs The process of assigning relays to inputs is the same regardless of the type of input selected. This section details the process by which relays are assigned to an input. ADD RELAY/GROUP: This selection allows a relay, relay range or group number to be added to the input’s control.
Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: Step 4: Step 5: DEL RELAY/GROUP: This menu allows previously programed Relay/Group items to be deleted. From the end of the previous step: Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: Step 4: Step 5: EXIT (DONE): This item will move back up to ASSIGN ACTIONS menu.
• Momentary Timed • Momentary On/Off Momentary: This behavior assigns a toggle (push On/push Off) function to the input. Only active states are recognized.

discrete input. The only difference is the way they are wired to the system and how they are networked over Luma-Net. Set up is very similar in philosophy. For information about inputs which are available for use as a digital switch input, See “Switch Numbering”...
Step 20: Step 21: Occupancy Inputs The process for setting up Occupancy Sensors as inputs to your Z-Max relay cabinet is identical to low voltage switches except that the type should be defined as OCC. When assigning actions to occupancy inputs, the following three behaviors can be assigned to the input: •...
Relay Assignment OccSen: LOCAL Assign relays and groups to this input just as for other input types. ADD RELAY/GROUP Contact Closures Contact closures are switch inputs which instead of having relays or groups assigned to them, instead have actions assigned to them. Contact closures have two possible behaviors: Maintained: Under this behavior, two actions can be assigned.
Photocell and Photocell Levels PHOCEL:002 LOCAL 1.REL ON-FOR OFF PHOCEL:002 LOCAL DELAY:004min PHO:002 TRIG:01 ON:NA OFF:NA Fc Photocells have a variety of uses and applications but most can be broken down into two categories: simple on/off control and the more complex daylight harvesting. Your Z-MAX cabinet is capable of doing both.
The modes express what happens to the assigned relays/groups at the "ON" trigger point followed by what happens at the "OFF" trigger point. The On trigger point occurs as the foot candle levels from the photocell drops and the Off trigger point occurs when the foot candle level from the photocell is rising.
For example, Leviton's ODC0P- 00W calibrated photocell senses 0-70fc. When the photocell receives 0fc of incident light, the output voltage will be 0V.

There are two major standards for the pinout of RJ-45 connectors. These two standards are often referenced as TIA-568A & TIA-568B. Although either is acceptable so long as it is consistent throughout a project, Leviton recommends the use of only the TIA-568B standard. The only difference between the standards is what color wires terminate to each of the (8) RJ-45 pins.
Always use one of these crimpers when making these connections. Read and understand the instruction by the crimpers manufacturer prior to use. Leviton offers a crimper as Leviton part number 47613-EZC. 4 Relay Remote Cabinet 4 Relay Remote Cabinet...
Network Layout Planning The previous section illustrated some of the technical requirements and physical layout for Master/Slave networks. When planning your network, it’s equally important when considering the numbering of relays. Relays are divided into two types: local and network. The local relays are the relays inside the master cabinet, and the network relays are the remote or slave cabinet relays.
Department. The phone number can be found on the back page of this manual. Relay Numbering Chart Leviton recommends that when planning your network, you fill out the chart on the following page, or other similar chart which you prefer to document your system. This completed chart should be stored with your master relay panel complete with the circuit schedules of all of the relay panels.
Comments & Examples on Relay Numbering Please find a discussion with examples of relay numbering found on page 132. This information may be helpful when configuring your relay panels.

Luma-Net III Luma-Net is Leviton’s proprietary digital architectural lighting control protocol. Luma- Net is can be used for the following items: • Communication and control by Dimensions 8000 control stations and accessories • Communication and control by Dimensions 4200 control stations and accessories •...
Termination Requirements Both ends of the control run must be terminated. Nodes not at each end of the run must not be terminated (see figure 9.) For most Luma-Net devices, termination can be achieved by connecting a short pieces of wires between the "TERM" and "REM-" terminals (see figure 8.) On other devices, like relay and dimmer cabinets, termination can be achieved by installing the termination jumper located adjacent to the Luma-Net connector inside the relay cabinet or other device.

There are two major standards for the pinout of RJ-45 connectors. These two standards are often referenced as TIA-568A & TIA-568B. Although either is acceptable so long as it is consistent throughout a project, Leviton recommends the use of only the TIA-568B standard. The only difference between the standards is what color wires terminate to each of the (8) RJ-45 pins.
