features makes it ideal for rooms where
multizone or individual control of lights
is required. Manual switching and adjustment of the dimming level is possible
via WallPods or through the SensorView software. The secondary relay pack’s
two RJ-45 connectors make control wiring with standard CAT-5 cabling easy and
clean. For simplifying installation, secondary packs have an elongated chase
nipple that allows them to be attached either directly through a ½” knockout into a
junction box or fixture.

RELAY OPERATION
Power for the nSP5 D secondary pack is provided via the CAT-5 connection
and not taken off the line. Therefore the internal latching relay functions as a dry
contact for switching up to 5A loads.
NLIGHT OPERATION
The device is nLight-enabled, meaning it is powered and has the ability to
communicate over an nLight network. Typically, it is daisy-chain wired, using CAT5 cabling, with other nLight-enabled power packs, sensors and/or WallPods in an
nLight control zone. Left alone, the zone will assume default operation and can be
programmed via its’ devices’ push-buttons. Once linked to a Gateway, directly or
via a Bridge, the zone becomes capable of remote status monitoring and control
via SensorView software.

All switches and sensors can be configured to output on one of sixteen channels,
referred to as broadcast channels. Devices with relays and/or dimming, such
as the nSP5 D, can then be configured to follow any of these channels via
the tracking channel settings. By default, an nSP5 D is configured to follow all
occupancy, photocell, and switch/dimmer commands arriving on Channel 1. Using
SensorView, however, channel tracking settings can be programmed for each
device type individually. This is critical when an nSP5 D is utilized in a room to
provide multizone dimming and personal control.

WIRING (DO NOT WIRE HOT)
Device power is provided via the CAT-5 connection and not taken off the line. Therefore the internal latching relay functions
as a dry contact. T568B pin/pair assignment is recommended for all CAT-5 cables.

INSTALLATION
• Mount to any junction box through a ½”
knockout (note: chase nipple is long enough to
accomodate mounting inside an adjacent box
if necessary for local code requirements)
• Connect Class 1 wires to line voltage feed and
load
• Connect Class 2 dimming output wires to
ballast dimming inputs
• Interconnect unit (via RJ-45 ports) with other
nLight devices in lighting zone using CAT-5
cables
• Once power is received via CAT-5 connection,
all devices in zone will automatically begin
functioning together according to each device’s
defaults
