The CLCTUBxx is the tub for CLC rated Lighting Automation panel. 

Separating the modules simplifies installation. The tub can be mounted early to allow conduit installation and rough-in wiring. The interior, which includes the relays and terminations, simply slides into the tub. The lighting circuits and low voltage control wiring can then be terminated and the cover installed.

The CLCCOVxxSL is a surface mounted, hinged, lockable cover for 12, 24, 36, 48 CLC Lighting Automated Panels.

GE RR SERIES RELAYS HAVE SERVED as the heart of low voltage lighting controls for over 40 years. The basic power switching device, the relay serves as the foundation of a building’s lighting control solution.

GE’s Remote Control panels and frames are configured for either RR7P or RR9P relays with a five-pin female connector. The user can simply remove a knockout in the low voltage barrier, snap the relay into place, and plug it onto the interconnect board.

RR7P Operation

Each relay employs a split low-voltage (24V) coil to move the line voltage contact armature to the ON(OFF) latched position. As illustrated on the opposite page for the RR7P, the ON coil moves the armature to the left when a 24 volt control signal is impressed across its leads. The armature latches in the ON position and will remain there until the OFF coil is energized.

This operation provides several key control features:

• Positive action. The relay always goes to the state commanded. For example, multiple OFF commands will keep the contacts in the OFF position.
• Stable operation. Since the relay latches in the ON or OFF position, power outages do not result in a change of state.
• Minimal power consumption. Control power is only required when the relay changes state.
• Ability to support multiple input devices. After the relay responds to a momentary pulse, it is then “free” to accept another pulse from any other control devices wired to it. The relay position is always controlled by the last signal.

RR9P Operation

GE RR9P relays are mechanical latching-type devices for direct plug-in to a GE Lighting Automation Panel. Pilot contact provides status feedback through LED indicators mounted on Rinterxxyy. They require only momentary 24 volt rectified AC switch circuits. Coil design resists burnout that could occur if equipment or operational failure energized the relay for an extended period of time. All GE low voltage relays may be used to full rated capacity for tungsten filament, ballast or resistive loads.

The RR9P includes an auxiliary contact on the low-voltage side of the armature to provide status indication for pilot light switches or indicator lights for remote annunciation of lighting status. It is also used to provide status information to more highly automated GE TLC systems

The CLCRMx6 Relay Module will connect up to six RR style relays to the modular lighting control system. Supports relays with or without feedback with LED status indication and pushbutton toggle operation.

The CLCRMS6 has six switch input terminals with pilot light operation for relays which have the optional feedback, or jumper selectable locator light operation for those without.

Application

The CLCRMx6 provides control of up to six relays per module allowing a lighting panel to be built up based on the number of relays the panel requires and reducing costs. This also allows for simple expansion of a panel to add in additional modules and relays until the panel capacity is reached. The RMS6 version of the module has six 2-position (On/Off) terminals with pilot/locator functionality. These terminals allow for 3-wire and 2-wire Momentary and Maintained switch operation based on how the switches are wired to the terminals.

The CLCGSM8 Group Switch Module will connect up to eight inputs to the Modular Lighting Control System. Through the color-coded spring clip terminals, the device supports switches, photocells and motion sensors. When not used for switches, the pilot light terminals may be configured to provide power to the connected sensors simplifying installation.

Pushbutton programming provides a simple means of assigning the input to groups of relays and other group inputs on the lighting network. Module doubles as a power injector distributing power to the panel's relay modules and the lighting network, providing status indication for network power monitoring.

Features

Application

The CLCGSM8 provides a way to map a variety of system input devices such as switches, motion sensors and photocells to relays and smaller nested lighting groups. Status indication on the device is derived from the status of the devices which is under its control providing immediate useful feedback about them. Pushbutton programming allows users to quickly program basic group switch to relay associations, while more advanced motion sensor and photocell operation is programmed via software or the data line scheduler.
