INSTALLING INDIVIDUAL RELAY CARDS
Relay Panels are most commonly shipped with all relay cards installed. If the project requires different types of relays installed
in the same panel then the relays are supplied separately and they will require field installation. In this application reference
the applicable Relay Installation Instructions supplied with the individual Relay Cards on how to install relays.
Caution: ALWAYS remove supply power to the Panel control Transformer prior to making any connections between
relay boards and panel processor board. Failure to do so may result in personnel injury, damage to the panel, and
void its warranty
CONNECTING PANEL POWER
The panel is designed to operate on 120, 208, 240, or 277VAC for input voltage “2” designator or 120, 277, or 347VAC
for input voltage “3” designator. Panel input power is supplied to the multi-tap transformer located in the upper center of
the panel as shown in Figure 1 on page 3. With the power turned off, route the dedicated panel power supply leads to the
transformer and connect them to the appropriate system voltage specific leads of the transformer. A voltage lead color label
is located on or adjacent to the transformer. Connect the power supply ground lead to the panel chassis grounding lug. A
label indicating this ground lug is located adjacent to the connection location.
Caution: When power is applied to the transformer, the unused transformer leads become electrified. Cap unused
transformer leads with wire nuts to prevent electrical shorting.
CONNECTING LIGHTING LOADS
With the power turned off, route the lighting system line and load leads through the high voltage area of the panel shown
in Figure 1 on page 3. Connect line and load leads for each lighting load to the output terminals of the appropriate relay as
delineated in the project plans and/or Panel Load Schedule.
Notice: As a general rule, the panel is shipped with relays installed and electrically connected at their input control
side. If, however, relays must be installed, reference the applicable Relay Installation Instructions supplied with the
individual Relay Cards on how to install relays.
Caution: Prior to making any connections to the relay outputs, verify that none of the loads are shorted. Failure to
do so may result in personnel injury, damage to the panel, and void its warranty
Notice: If no Panel Load Schedule exists, use the Panel Load Schedule Form supplied in the clear plastic pocket
inside the Panel Door to record the lighting circuit relay assignments while connecting the relays
CONNECTING LOW VOLTAGE INPUTS
Bring the low voltage wiring for the contact inputs in through the knockouts in the low voltage wiring area where indicated
in Figure 1 on page 3. The CX 4 Relay Panel supports six inputs and the CX 8 Relay Panel supports 12 inputs. Inputs are
software configurable through programming to support momentary switches, maintained switches (latching), motion sensors,
or photocells. Each Relay Card includes one low voltage input. The panel mother board includes 2 Auxiliary Inputs for the CX
4 Relay Panel and 4 Auxiliary Inputs for the CX 8 Relay Panel. These inputs may be connected prior to programming. Inputs
may be connected to any terminal location regardless of final control programming. Connect contact closure input devices to
the input terminals using 18 AWG wire.
Notice: Use the Panel Load Schedule Form supplied in the clear plastic pocket inside the Panel Door to record the
low voltage input types while making connections.
