System
Description

Modular in design, The Watt Stopper basic relay

panel provides automated lighting control from a low voltage switching platform. Users can
implement exterior and/or interior control with one or more automation modules.

Basic
Operation

The basic relay panel consists of a tub and cover, power supply, and panel interior with
relays. Users can select the number of relays needed (in multiples of four). The tub, cover,
and power supply provide the basic housing and power components. The panel interior provides the mounting framework for the systems relays, power supply, and the optional
automation modules. Users can select the panel configuration with up to 12, 24, or 48 relays,
depending on the size and complexity of their application. Each lighting load is wired
through a relay, which can be controlled by either a low-voltage switch or an occupancy
sensor.

Features

Users may select optional automation modules for additional functionality. The Basic Indoor
Controller (HBIC12BC) offers Master ON/OFF control for a group of 12 relays, as well as
options for selectable time delays, blink warnings for individual overrides, and automatic
ON for the whole group. At the same time, it retains individual switch overrides for each
relay. The Indoor Controller utilizes an occupied/unoccupied (regular business hours/after
hours) approach, and accepts scheduling input from timeclocks and building management
systems. For outdoor lighting, the Basic Outdoor Controller provides simple, photocellbased control for security, parking, and signage lighting. The Controller package includes
an exterior photosensor that detects natural light levels that, in turn, trigger ON or OFF
control signals. Other optional components include the Basic Switch Interface, which
enables any 2- or 3-wire maintained or momentary input to control a group of relays (up to
12) while retaining individual switch overrides.

Applications

The Basic relay panel provides a flexible way to achieve essential interior and exterior automated lighting control, and provide the conveniences of low voltage switching.
