The RPCON is the control and calibration module used with a GE daylighting controller. A complete daylighting assembly consists of the RPCON paired with a remotely mounted GE photodiode daylight sensor (RPSenOut). The sensor measures ambient light levels in the space, while the RPCON processes those measurements and applies calibrated control logic to the lighting system.
The RPCON allows daylighting systems to be calibrated using direct footcandle readings. For each supported control module and sensor combination, calibration setpoints are displayed in footcandles, making commissioning straightforward and intuitive. Adjustable high- and low-trip setpoints can be configured to create a dead band, helping prevent unwanted cycling caused by small changes in ambient light.
In addition to calibration, the RPCON provides multiple control and override features. A switch-enabled three-minute time delay can be applied to outputs, and a lockout switch allows the daylight sensor to be disabled when required. The module includes three independent output channels, each capable of driving up to three GE RR7 relays or triggering an electronic switching device such as an RMSx Master Sequencer.
Features:
- Control module/sensor combinations designed for the specific daylighting application.
- For each combination, calibration setpoints read out directly in footcandles.
- Adjustable footcandle setpoints for both high- and low-trip to create a dead band.
- Switch-enabled time-delay of 3 minutes.
- Lockout switch for disabling the sensor.
- Three separate output channels, each capable of driving up to three GE RR9/RR7 relays, or triggering the input to an electronic switch (such as the RMSx Master Sequencer).
- Master override of each channel.
- Master control of all three channels.
