  • Page 3: Powering Up For The First Time

    SPAK Operation SwitchPak - SPAK Powering Up For The First Time When the SwitchPak is initially powered up, you will be prompted to set the PHASE of the circuit feeding the power supply. The correct Phase must be selected if you intend to use the ZERO-CROSS SWITCHING feature of SwitchPak. If you are NOT using ZERO-CROSS SWITCHING, any phase can be selected.
  • Page 4: How Do I Program A Time Schedule Event To Control A Circuit

    SPAK Operation SwitchPak - SPAK How Do I Program a Time Schedule Event to Control a Circuit? SwitchPak uses schedule events to control one or more circuits (RELAYS). For each scheduled event, RELAYS can be selected to switch ON, OFF, or NO CHANGE, (not selected for event) eliminating the need to have both ON and OFF events at the same scheduled time.
  • Page 5: Time Schedule Event Parameters

    SPAK Operation SwitchPak - SPAK Time Schedule Event Parameters WHEN: (EVENT PARAMETERS) TIME – The time the event will occur. The time is displayed as HH:MM with an AM/PM indicator. Note: The system time must be correct for scheduled events to operate correctly. The system time setting is edited under SETTINGS, TIME/DATE.
  • Page 6: How Do I Enter Holiday Dates To Be Used With Time Schedule Events

    SPAK Operation SwitchPak - SPAK How Do I Enter Holiday Dates to be Used With Time Schedule Events? SwitchPak contains 32 holiday (calendar) dates for special occasions. Events occurring on holiday dates override any standard schedule events. Holiday dates are entered using the MM/DD/YY format. Once the holiday date(s) are programmed, use the HOLIDAYS button to assign programmed events to the holiday date.
  • Page 7: How Do I Assign A Switch To Control A Circuit

    SPAK Operation SwitchPak - SPAK How Do I Assign A Switch To Control A Circuit? SwitchPak can assign a switch (INPUT) to control one or multiple circuits (RELAYS.) This eliminates the need to rewire switches and loads if your control scheme changes. Switchpak contains eight inputs for switches, sensors or other dry contact closure devices.
  • Page 8: Switch Input Parameters

    SPAK Operation SwitchPak - SPAK Switch Input Parameters TYPES: MAINTAINED (2-wire SPST) – Terminated between ON and COM. Typically a standard wallswitch that is used in residential applications. A maintained switch can also be terminated between OFF and COM to provide an inverted output.
  • Page 9: How Do I Assign An Analog Photocell To Control A Circuit

    SPAK Operation SwitchPak - SPAK How Do I Assign an Analog Photocell To Control A Circuit? SwitchPak has one analog photocell input and can assign it to control one or multiple circuits (RELAYS.) SwitchPak can assign up to 8 different levels (set points) of photocell control, each set point being based on the amount of light the photocell is seeing.
  • Page 10: Photocell Parameters

    SPAK Operation SwitchPak - SPAK Photocell Parameters The photocell ON and OFF LEVELS use a 0 to 100 scale. 0 signifies the photocell does not see any light, 100 signifies the photocell is seeing the maximum footcandle amount it's calibrated for. Lithonia Analog Photocell Ratings: LSA APS IN (indoor) 0-100 FC...
  • Page 11: How Do I Calibrate The Photocell

    SPAK Operation SwitchPak - SPAK How Do I Calibrate the Photocell? SwitchPak's analog photocell input is desgned to work with a 0 - 10 volt photocell. Whenever the photocell sees the maximum footcandle amount it's rated for, it's output should be at 10 Volts. If the photocell is installed in a location where it does not receive enough light to cause it's output to operate in the entire 0 - 10 volt (0 - 100%) range, any photocell input programming based on a full range will not function correctly.
  • Page 12: How Do I Set Up A Relay For Different Load Types

    SPAK Operation SwitchPak - SPAK How Do I Set Up A Relay For Different Load Types? SwitchPak can configure it's RELAYS to control different load types. This eliminates the need to wire additional interfaces between the relay output and load to achieve the desired operation. All output circuits are terminated directly to one of the eight RELAY terminals.
  • Page 13: Relay Parameters

    SPAK Operation SwitchPak - SPAK Relay Parameters TYPES: NORMAL_OPEN The relay contacts are open when the relay is in the OFF state and closed when the relay is activated ON as indicated by the LED indicator on the relay button. This is the typical setting for most applications. NORMAL_CLOSED The relay function is inverted, which means the contacts are closed when the relay is in the OFF state and open when the relay is activated ON as indicated by the LED indicator on the relay button.
  • Page 14: How Do I Mask (Ignore) Inputs For Priority Control

    SPAK Operation SwitchPak - SPAK How Do I Mask (Ignore) Inputs For Priority Control? SwitchPak can setup a maximum of 25 INPUT MASKs. INPUT MASKING causes inputs to be ignored during the time period when the MASK is active. Masking is used to setup priority relationships between SCHEDULED EVENTS and INPUTS, or between multiple INPUTS.
  • Page 15: Input Masking Parameters

    SPAK Operation SwitchPak - SPAK Input Masking Parameters TIMES: Enter the start and ending time for each INPUT MASK. IGNORE OPTIONS: IGNORE ON’s Ignores ON commands from the selected INPUTS during the specified times. Example: A photocell input's ON event being MASKED (ignored) between 7 AM and 7 PM to prevent cloud cover from turning on the exterior lighting.
