Introduction to

Occupancy Sensors
Square D® occupancy sensors help building owners achieve energy savings and energy code compliance with sensors that are easy to select, install and commission.
Employing passive infrared (PIR), ultrasonic and dual technology to accurately detect occupancy and control lighting loads, Square D occupancy sensors automatically
shutoff lighting in unoccupied areas – eliminating waste, reducing energy costs, and meeting code requirements.
Square D innovations help building owners not only comply with energy codes, but they also maximize energy savings.
• Integral light level sensors maximize energy savings in day-lit areas by holding off artificial lighting when adequate natural light is available.
• Walk-through mode detects brief periods of occupancy in private offices, allowing the sensor to shutoff lighting with less time delay.
• Lamp Saver mode alternates the A and B loads in rooms using 50/50 bi-level lighting control to maximize lamp life and reduce maintenance.
• Isolated relays may be used to communicate with other control systems, such as building automation and energy management systems that control other building
systems, like HVAC and lighting, to further maximize energy savings.
Square D makes lighting control easy with a full line of versatile occupancy sensors that are easy to select, install and commission. For most applications, the sensors may be
installed right out of the box with no adjustment. When adjustment is needed, adjustments are simple to understand and easy to access, making commissioning a breeze.
Square D occupancy sensors were designed to interface with other systems, including Powerlink® and Clipsal® Lighting Control Systems, using normally-open and normallyclosed contacts. As lighting control needs change and more sophisticated lighting control is desired, Square D occupancy sensors interface with other systems to maximize
energy savings and enhance occupant satisfaction.

on while the area remains occupied. When the room or area is no longer occupied, the sensor turns off lighting after a
pre-set time delay.
The low profile sensor is ceiling mounted for greatest sensitivity to detect motion in large areas with obstructions. With
a 360 degree field of view and up to 2000 square feet (185.8 sq. meters) of coverage area, the Ceiling Mounted Dual
Technology Occupancy Sensor is ideal for conference rooms, classrooms and large meeting rooms.
These ceiling mount sensors also incorporate an integral light level sensor to prevent lighting from switching On when
sufficient ambient light is present, such as is commonly found in windowed areas.

SQUARE D® OCCUPANCY SENSORS | POWER PACK AND AUXILIARY RELAY

Square D® Power Pack and Auxiliary Relay
The Square D® Power Pack supplies low voltage power to Square D ceiling and wall mounted occupancy sensors,
and employs a heavy duty 20A relay to switch lighting and HVAC loads based on a control signal received from the
occupancy sensor. The power pack accepts both 120V and 277V input and supplies up to 100 mA at 24Vdc
The power pack employs a micro-controller that switches loads at minimum voltage, protecting relay contacts from
high in-rush current common when switching electronic ballasts. This switching method reduces the stress across the
relay contacts, preventing arc-over and assuring long reliable contact life.
Similar to the power pack, the auxiliary relay does not supply power, but switches lighting and HVAC loads based on a
control signal from the occupancy sensor.
Both the power pack and auxiliary relay are housed in a rugged plenum rated enclosure. Flexible mounting scheme
allows for installation inside or outside a standard 4 x 4 inch junction box.

Introduction to

Track-Limiting Panels
Energy codes typically require lighting power density calculations for track lighting to be based on the linear feet of installed track. Some codes stipulate multipliers as low as 30W/
foot while others use a multiplier as high as 70W/foot. When energy efficient lighting is used, the connected load is typically much less than the per-foot multipliers given in the
energy codes. This penalizes lighting designs that employ track lighting and wastes available lighting watts that could be applied more effectively.
Many codes also provide provisions to compute the luminaire wattage based off the maximum wattage that the circuit can provide. For example, CA Title 24, 130(c)3 states:
“Luminaire wattage incorporated into the installed lighting power shall be determined in accordance with the following criteria . . . The wattage of line-voltage lighting track and
plug-in busway which allows the addition or relocation of luminaires without altering the wiring of the system shall be the volt-ampere rating of the branch circuits feeding the
luminaires . . .”

E A R LY
2008

Square D® Track-Limiting Panels eases the burden of meeting today’s stringent energy codes like California Title
24. Typically used for track lighting applications, these panels limit the power available to a lighting branch
circuit by incorporating a special circuit breaker into the branch circuit.
Because the Track-Limiting panel limits the available power to a specified level, designers can better reflect the
actual power requirements into their load density calculations. Power level will be substantially lower than by
using the standard multipliers given for track lighting.
Panels are readily accessible providing easy access for inspection and maintenance. These panels also
incorporate circuit breakers rated for the higher available fault currents found on many 120V systems. In
addition, the use of supplementary protectors provides a convenient means for isolating individual track circuits.

SQUARE D® TRACK-LIMITING PANELS |

Energy codes typically calculate track lighting loads based on linear feet of installed track. Some codes use a multiplier as low as 30 watts/foot while others use a
multiplier as high as 70 watts/foot. When using the energy efficient lighting technologies available today, the connected load is typically much less than the per-foot
multipliers used by most energy codes. This penalizes lighting designs that employ track lighting and wastes available lighting watts that could be used more effectively.

Below is a typical track lighting example. The Standard Layout consists of two 50’ runs of single circuit track, each with sixteen 39W track heads for a total connected load
of 1376W. The Revised Layout Using Short Track Segments has the same 1376W connected load but uses sixteen short 4’ track segments (64’), each fed separately, to help
minimize the impact of the watts per foot multiplier. The scenario with the Track-Limiting Panel uses the original two 50’ runs of single circuit track, with each monitored by
a 6 Amp current limiting circuit breaker that is closely matched to the actual connected load of 1376W. This results in the minimum calculated watts per the energy codes.

Introduction to

Powerlink® Lighting Control
For many designers, the engineering of a suitable lighting control system has become a daunting task. The designer must balance space constraints, equipment and installation costs,
maintenance, and operational concerns, while ensuring a code-compliant installation. Fortunately, the Square D® Powerlink® G3 Lighting Control System addresses concerns by:
• Using standard lighting panelboards: All Square D Powerlink G3 components mount in the panel just like a standard circuit breaker. Documenting your control system layout is as simple as
indicating which branch circuits are to be controlled.
• Saving space: Since the lighting control system is located inside the lighting panelboard, valuable wall and floor space is available for more productive uses. Square D also offers
space-saving, column-width panelboards and flexible modular panelboard systems.
• Complying with codes: With today’s high available fault currents, it’s extremely important that your system meets code requirements. The Square D Powerlink G3 system is fully UL Listed
and meets NEC 110.10 requirements.

POWERLINK® LIGHTING CONTROL |

Powerlink® G3 Panel Mounted Components

Up to eight panels can be operated from a single controller.
A self-contained power supply
furnishes the power for remotely
operated circuit breaker switching
and for the system’s electronics.

The intelligence of the Powerlink G3
system comes from its microprocessorbased controller. It processes many
signals that originate externally from
control devices, such as switches or
sensors, or from its powerful internal
time scheduler that switches breakers
according to predefined daily
schedules.

Conventional ECB circuit breakers can
be readily incorporated into a G3 panel.

Innovative Square D® remote-operated
circuit breakers combine the protective
features of conventional circuit breakers
with the switching functions of a
contactor.

Plug-on control bus strips act as the
bridge between the circuit breakers and
the electronic control components of a
Powerlink G3 system.

POWERLINK® LIGHTING CONTROL | POWER SUPPLY

Square D® Powerlink® Power Supply
The Square D Powerlink G3 Power Supply provides power to operate the controller, control buses and remotely operated
circuit breakers. The power supply attaches to an NF Panelboard interior in the same manner as a standard 3-pole circuit
breaker.
The power supply derives its power from the panelboard interior bus and converts the line voltage into two separate
supplies: one supply furnishes the controller with a 24Vdc, Class 2 source; the other supply furnishes the control bus and
subnet with a 24Vdc, Class 1 source.
An optional type of power supply, furnished with primary leads, is available for use with a separately derived primary power
source. This option is often used in applications where the system must remain operational during power outages. In such
applications, the external leads are connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or alternate power source.
In 20-inch (508 mm) wide panels, the power supply is always located in the upper left-hand corner of the interior. The
controller is mounted adjacent to the power supply on the right-hand side.

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
Three levels of communications are provided that can be easily tailored to individual application requirements.
SUBNET COMMUNIC ATIONS

• Each Square D Powerlink G3 Controller can directly operate up to eight control buses.
• Controller signals the control buses to switch the associated branch circuits and polls each Square D® Powerlink® G3 Circuit Breaker to determine its actual status.
• Communications between the controller and the control buses are made with a 4-wire, Class 1 communications cable (Belden 27326 or equivalent).
• Slave panels (those containing control buses and remotely operated circuit breakers, but no controller) may be mounted up to 400 feet away from the master panel that contains the controller.

Subnet communications allow one controller to
operate up to 168 remotely operated branch circuits.

AUTOMATION NET WORK

• Each controller provides both RS-485 and RS-232 serial ports. Provides access up to 247 controllers using an RS-485 multi-drop configuration.
• An automation level network can also be used to communicate with other building systems such as energy management systems and card access controllers. The automation network uses
widely accepted and supported industrial-proven protocols used by many building automation manufacturers and systems integrators
- Modbus® ASCII/RTU open protocol in all Square D Powerlink G3 Controllers
- DMX512 protocol in automation level network for theatrical lighting applications in 1000, 2000, and 3000 level controllers
- Optional JCI-N2 protocol for 1000 level controllers
- Optional C-Bus™ Network capability with NF3000G3C controller and device router

Automation networks provide remote access to the lighting control system over an
RS-485 network. An RS-485 network consists of low cost, 2-wire, Class 2
communications cable, Belden 9841 or equivalent.

Introduction to

Square D®Clipsal®Lighting Control
The availability of low cost, powerful microprocessors for building and home control and management systems has created unprecedented customer expectations for increased control,
connectivity and integration of electrical and low voltage systems.
Sophisticated styling - Square D® Clipsal® brings a distinctly sophisticated look to lighting applications. Clean lines. Sleek glass. Every detail and surface of these keypads and touch
screens are designed to complement contemporary commercial and residential environments.
System simplicity - With its unique distributed system, installation couldn’t be easier. You can place relays and dimmers in various locations and connect them directly to the network
– eliminating the need to run cable back to a separate enclosure near centrally located processors. Keeping the design simple also adds up to greater system reliability.
Since the Square D Clipsal system uses standard Cat 5 cabling, there’s no special cable to order or keep in supply. So it’s much easier to address last-minute change orders or to
complete a job without wondering if you have the right materials on hand.
Fully scalable solution - Whether you’re creating a lighting control system for a single room or a whole facility, Square D lighting control offers scalable systems to fit your exact
needs. Our C-Bus™ solutions are designed around the size and requirements of your application. All this with a common platform and easy installation practices. Talk about flexibility.
Clipsal® keypads - These aesthetically pleasing faceplates lend a sophisticated look to virtually any space. They’re as elegant as they are well-engineered.
Clipsal touch screens - Our unified wall-mounted panels allow you to control lighting systems and accessories with the touch of a finger. Designed with versatility in mind, these
sleek touch screens are easy to install, customize and use. They’re compact yet powerful. Simple to operate yet highly flexible. A desktop model is available when wall space is limited
or for added convenience.

channel provides independent dimming and incorporates thermal overload and over-current protection. These dimmer
units automatically compensate for voltage and frequency fluctuations and employ advanced phase-control techniques
to reduce flicker and increase lamp life.
The aluminum enclosure acts as a heat sink and is designed for easy wall mounting, including keyhole mounts
and removable terminals for the C-Bus and override connections. An optional terminal box is available for conduit
connections.
Configuration options include network monitoring of the channel load and network voltages, adjustable delays for
dimming levels, and master override.

Introduction to

Area Lighting Panels
Square D® Clipsal® Area Lighting Panels from Schneider Electric are a simple, convenient way to realize daylight harvesting schemes in an individual conference room or suite within a
commercial building. They are ideally suited to meet energy code requirements related to reduction in lighting loads by integrating natural light with artificial light.
Area Lighting Panels offer the flexibility of being set up as a stand-alone system or connected as a part of a larger Square D Clipsal network. A simple Cat 5 cable connection gives the
pre-engineered enclosed panels the ability to integrate light-level detection, occupancy detection, keypads and switching. Along with ease of network connectivity and simplified
programming, Area Lighting Panels also provide easy installation and reduced field-wiring costs.
Outfitting a conference room or suite with a Square D Clipsal light-level sensor allows an Area Lighting Panel to automatically dim lights to capitalize on available natural light. When
using Square D Clipsal occupancy sensors, the panel automatically turns lights off after everyone leaves. Additionally, various pre-programmed lighting scenes can be automatically
executed by the panel by pressing a button on a Square D Clipsal lighting control keypad.
Area Lighting Panels provide unparalleled installation flexibility for electrical contractors. They provide the ability to integrate Square D Clipsal keypads and Square D Clipsal light-level
and occupancy sensors without the complexity of line voltage wiring connections. A single Cat 5 cable is all that is required in most applications to connect the inputs to a panel,
which may be mounted in either an electrical closet or ceiling space. Power is distributed to the panel from a single home-run connection to the power source. Consultants will find
that designing rooms in a commercial building with a focus on energy savings and tasteful lighting scenes is easier, because there is less wiring complexity.

SQUARE D® CLIPSAL® LIGHTING CONTROL | AREA LIGHTING PANELS

Square D® Clipsal® Area Lighting Panels
Square D® Clipsal® Area Lighting Panels are ideally suited to meet lighting control energy code requirements in
classrooms, offices and other small spaces. These devices provide the ability to integrate keypads, occupancy sensing,
light level detection, and switching without the mess of complex control wiring. A simple CAT-5 cable is all that is
required to connect sensors and keypads.
Clipsal Area Lighting Panels can operate as independent stand-alone islands or as part of an entire facility wide lighting
control system. Enclosures can easily be mounted in electrical closets or in ceiling spaces. They include all necessary
connections and are UL Listed. Area Lighting Panels can also be used in conjunction with Powerlink® panels.
Clipsal Area Lighting Panels can be used for on/off switching, stepped dimming or continuous dimming applications.
All relays feature rugged 20A rated contacts for switching electronic ballast loads. Models with continuous dimming
capabilities are rated for either NEC Class 1 or Class 2 wiring.

Introduction to

Square D® Clipsal® Multi Room Audio
The Square D® Multi Room Audio offer provides audio distribution and control throughout an entire home - or just one room if desired - and seamlessly integrates into the Square D Clipsal®
lighting control system to form one simple, reliable control system.
The most common method of control for both the Square D Clipsal lighting control system and new Multi Room Audio is via wall-mounted keypads, such as the NeoTM and SaturnTM, and
either a black-and-white or color touchscreen. When incorporated into a Square D Clipsal system, these wall-mounted devices provide a stylish, modern alternative to the standard look of
electrical wall switches. Square D Clipsal Saturn or Neo keypads with Dynamic Labeling Technology (DLTTM) can control up to eight functions from a single keypad, including lighting or audio
controls. The Remote Amplifiers are controlled entirely by the input devices, and have no controls on their front panel. Also available is an optional Audio Distribution Unit, which allows a
single stereo audio input to be added to the digital input of the Matrix Switcher. It also allows one distributable stereo audio input to be plugged into the Amplifiers when no Matrix Switcher
is used (when Amplifiers are used in stand-alone mode).
A typical Multi Room Audio system distributes up to four analog audio inputs, five if an Audio Distribution Unit is used, and one optical input. These inputs are distributed to up to 8 zones,
each consisting of one or more amplifier. Additionally, each amplifier is capable of accepting a local analog audio input, providing up to seven stereo audio channels for each amplifier.

Square D® Clipsal® Matrix Switcher
The Square D® Clipsal® Audio Matrix Switcher provides a revolutionary means for distributing audio throughout a
home. This Matrix Switcher provides up to eight zones of audio output from four source inputs. Audio sources can
be switched via the front panel or by any Clipsal input device such as touch screen keypads.
The matrix switcher is ideally suited for multi-room audio and structured wiring systems. Keypads and other
Clipsal devices connect to the matrix switcher with CAT-5 modular jacks. Outputs to remote and desktop
amplifiers are made with low voltage wiring.
In addition to the six source inputs, two mono broadcast annunciation inputs are provided for connection to
intercoms or other systems. Broadcast annunciation input can be given priority over other source inputs and
feature fully adjustment volume and over-stepping mute features.

Square D® Clipsal® Multi-Room Amplifiers
Square D® Clipsal® Multi Room Amplifiers provide efficient, high fidelity audio to individual rooms. Available in either
desktop or remote mount versions, these amplifiers are specifically designed to operate on the C-Bus™ network as an
extension of the lighting control system, without third party gateways or custom integration. This means the ability to
control amplifiers with the same keypad or touch screen used to control lighting levels.
When combined with the Clipsal Matrix Switcher (part SLC560884T), these amplifiers deliver excellent stereo sound
at 10 Watts without a separate power supply. When furnished with optional power supply these amplifiers provide 25
Watts. Connections are provided for up to two sets of 8 ohm speakers.
Both desktop and remote amplifiers provide a local input connection for attaching to CD or mp3 players, etc. In addition,
the desktop amplifier will accept remote commands via its infrared receiver. Infrared remote included.

|

DESIGN GUIDE

Introduction
Square D® Clipsal® Lighting Control employs C-Bus™ network control for commercial lighting. Compared to conventional control systems, C-Bus network controls reduce installation time,
simplify lighting control circuits, save energy and achieve greater functionality. The C-Bus network is a distributed intelligence network control system, incorporating microprocessor-based control. Each C-Bus device features an integral microcontroller to achieve a robust and reliable distributed control system. Once installed, the installer programs the operating variables and control
relationships between C-Bus devices on the network. The C-Bus network may be scaled to fit any size project from a single conference room up to a very large building.
OBJECTIVE

This guide provides lighting control designers with guidance needed to design and plan C-Bus network control systems. Additional support is available through the Square D Lighting Control
Technical Support Team at 1-888-SQUARED.

Capabilities
DIMMING

Dimming is a critical part of today’s lighting control needs. In the past, manual dimming
controls were used in offices, conference rooms, and classrooms to allow occupants to adjust
light levels to meet the occupant needs or preferences. Now, more sophisticated lighting
control systems employ dimming to provide multi-scene control, daylighting control and
multi-level control in a variety of spaces and building types, from schools and offices to retail
environments and warehouses, to save energy and provide more occupant-friendly control.
C-Bus includes a variety of units to achieve continuous or stepped dimming of fluorescent,
incandescent and even HID lighting.

The press of one button may control many individual loads. Loads may be turned on, off, or dimmed to a predetermined level. Depending on how a space is used, it may be necessary to
have certain lights set to various levels for different functions. For example, a conference room may have multiple groups of lighting where one group illuminates the table, another group
illuminates the perimeter in the back of the room and another group illuminates the perimeter in the front of the room. During a meeting, it may be desirable to have the lighting over
the table set to 100% and have the lighting around the perimeter set to 50%. This could be accomplished with a single button press to create the “meeting” scene. For presentations,
perimeter lighting in the front of the room may be turned off, lighting over the table set at 50%, and perimeter lighting in the back of the room set at 50%.

SQUARE D® CLIPSAL® LIGHTING CONTROL

DAYLIGHTING CONTROL

Daylighting control may be used to reduce artificial
lighting of interior spaces when those spaces receive
adequate natural light from windows or skylights.
Daylighting controls are commonly installed in California,
where the state’s building code, Title 24, requires the use of
daylighting controls in daylit spaces. Daylighting control
may be used to save energy in schools, offices,
warehouses, and even retail spaces. More and more
buildings, especially big box retail and schools, are taking
advantage of natural sunlight to illuminate interior spaces.
C-Bus light level sensors are easily configured to provide
daylighting control utilizing relays for stepped dimming
function or dimmer units for continuous dimming.

ADDRESSING CONVENTIONS

Once a preliminary list of hardware requirements has been created, planning of the
programming requirements may begin. The C-Bus network uses a simple addressing
scheme to identify units, groups, areas and networks. The purpose of each parameter will
be discussed in the next section.
ALPHANUMERIC CHARACTERS

Illustration of Group Addressing

Legal Alphanumeric Character Set: 0-9, a-z, A-Z, ‘ ‘, ‘_’
All descriptive addresses accept the above legal characters. Other characters may be accepted, but are not recommended. Project Names and Part Names will force capital letters.
HEXADECIMAL SYMBOLS

Hexadecimal Symbol Set: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F
At a physical level, the programming information downloaded to C-BusTM Units consists of a two digit hexadecimal number, represented be a combination of the above 16 symbols. Valid
addresses include 12, AB, FE, 5E. The descriptive addressing is not downloaded. This information is stored in a database on your PC.
A programmed C-Bus network can be scanned using the C-Bus Installation Software. If a Version 7.1 Project Database has not been defined by the user, the software will use the
hexadecimal addressing uploaded to represent all unknown addressing.
Users should note that these hexadecimal addresses are automatically assigned. The Project and Topology Managers may be used to reference or manipulate hexadecimal address as required.
GROUP ADDRESSING

The Group Address is usually related to the load physically connected to the terminal of the output unit. Therefore, the group address should accurately describe the load being controlled.
Typically, numerical designators are used to describe lighting circuits. Up to 255 group addresses may be defined on a single network less any defined area addresses.
Valid groups include: Office Lights, Hall Lights, L4-2B, A4-2L-3

111

The default group is “unused.”

AREA ADDRESSING

The area address is a convenient method of addressing multiple output channels collectively. Large areas consisting of many C-BusTM output units may be controlled from a single point
on the C-Bus network. The area address is used in the group address field to achieve control.

Illustration of Area Addressing

Each C-Bus input and output device in a control area must be assigned the same area address. The area address must be unique and must not be repeated as a group address in that C-Bus
network. Up to 255 areas may be defined less the number of defined groups.
Area address status is not included in the status report. Therefore, C-Bus input devices will follow the status of group address of output devices associated with the input device after
approximately five times the status request interval (approx. 15 seconds).

APPLIC ATION ADDRESSING

Applications are used to divide the C-BusTM network into independent functional systems. All group addresses in any unit are associated with that unit’s applications, and commands
issued by a C-Bus input device will affect only output devices with matching applications and group addresses.
Up to 255 application addresses may be used on a single C-Bus network. By default, two applications have been defined: Lighting and Heating. Other applications may be defined as
needed. For example, in a multi-storied building it may be desirable to have a separate application for each floor to satisfy the need to have more than 255 group addresses on the
network, or to allow the same group addresses to be used over and over (e.g. OFFICE01, MENS01, CONF01, etc.). In this case, defined applications might be Lighting01, Lighting02, etc.

SQUARE D® CLIPSAL® LIGHTING CONTROL

|

DESIGN GUIDE

C - B U S TM W I R I N G R U L E S

Square D® Clipsal® incorporates a distributed intelligence lighting control system that employs a low voltage network of intelligent input, output and network communication units to control line
rated loads. C-Bus network communications is achieved using proprietary C-Bus protocol over an unshielded twisted pair LAN cable (Cat-5 UTP). Some simple rules should be observed when
specifying or designing a Square D Clipsal lighting control system.
NETWORK TOPOLOGY

The Square D Clipsal lighting control system is comprised of C-Bus devices interconnected using Cat-5 UTP cable to achieve a topology-free C-Bus network. The lighting control system may
incorporate a single network or multiple networks to overcome the following C-Bus network limitations:
• Maximum cable length
• Addressing limitations
• Maximum 2A/36VDC per network
• Reduce network response time (reduce local communications traffic)
• Accommodate physical layout and building structure (network/floor)
When connecting multiple networks together, the following guidelines should be observed:
• Minimize the depth of the network topology for faster, more efficient communications.
• Distribute C-Bus Units on separate networks proportionally to avoid communications and power supply problems. For example if 120 C-Bus Units are required, split into two networks of 60
Units each, rather than 100 Units on the first network and 20 Units on the second.
NETWORK SIZE

The maximum number of C-Bus units on any network shall not exceed 100 units. If the lighting control system requires more than 100 units, an additional network may be connected to the
first network through a C-Bus Network Bridge to allow communications between networks.
• Maximum of 100 C-Bus units per network • Maximum of 255 networks per system
NETWORK CABLE

Maximum cable length is determined by the impedance of the cable used. The resistive and capacitive impedance of network cable varies based on type. For Cat-5 UTP, the maximum length
for reliable communications is 3280 ft.
• Maximum 3280 ft. of Cat-5 UTP cable per network
• C-Bus Network Bridges should be used to split a network into two or more networks when the total cable length required exceeds 3280 ft.
POWER SUPPLIES

The C-Bus Power Supply and Output units with integral power supply provide low voltage power to C-Bus devices on the network (36VDC). Current required to operate C-Bus devices varies,
depending on the device. Refer to installation instructions for specific C-Bus devices to determine current requirements. Each C-Bus Power Supply supplies up to 350mA and C-Bus Output units
with integral power supply will supply up to 200mA. Additional C-Bus Power Supplies may be added to maintain optimum network voltage of 15-36VDC. Distribute power supplies evenly on the
network to evenly distribute voltage drop. All power supplies on a C-Bus network evenly share the network load. Typically, no more than (5) Power Supplies should be connected to a single
network. When utilizing Output Units with an integral power supply rated at 200mA, a maximum of (10) power supplies is allowed. In no case shall the total available power exceed 2A at 36VDC.
NETWORK BURDEN

A Network Burden must be connected to a C-Bus network to achieve reliable network communications. The Network Burden is comprised of a capacitor in series with a resistor.
One hardware Network Burden is included with each PC Interface (PCI) and two hardware Network Burdens are included with each Network Bridge. The Network Burden may be
software enabled on most other DIN rail mounted C-Bus units. One, and only one, Network Burden is required for each C-Bus network. If more than one PCI or Network
Bridge is used in a network, all but one Network Burden should be disabled. For systems with multiple networks connected together via Network Bridges, each network within the
system should have only one Network Burden connected or enabled.
SYSTEM CLOCK

The C-BusTM network requires one system clock source to operate. This is not a real time clock; however, network communications are synchronized to this source. The PCI and Network
Bridge units may be used to provide the system clock. If more than one of these units is present on a network, the network automatically determines which is active. A maximum of 3
network clocks should be enabled on a C-Bus network.
CONNECTING TO THE C-BUS NETWORK

The C-Bus network is designed to operate at 36VDC. The C-Bus network is optically and/or galvanically isolated from line voltage rated circuits. When installing C-Bus devices the installer
should always follow applicable NEC requirements for Class 2 wiring.
Operating at a low voltage of 36VDC allows electrical work to be performed on the C-Bus side of the system while the system is powered on. Before working on C-Bus network wiring or devices
located in enclosures where Class 1 wiring is present, turn off power to Class 1 circuits. The C-Bus network is short circuit protected to prevent damage to C-Bus devices if a short occurs. The
C-Bus network will not work as long as the network is shorted. C-Bus devices are connected in parallel on the network. Whether the devices are connected using a daisy-chain topology, a star
topology, or a combination of both topologies, the devices are always connected to the network in parallel to achieve a topology-free network. Homeruns are not recommended for C-Bus networks.
When connecting C-Bus devices to the network cable (typically Cat-5 UTP), care
should be taken to observe polarity requirements clearly marked on each device.
It is recommended that installers use a Cat-5 UTP cable with a distinguishable
color, such as pink, to distinguish C-Bus network cable from other network cable
which may be present. This simplifies later servicing of the system by allowing
service personnel to quickly identify C-Bus network cables.

SQUARE D® CLIPSAL® LIGHTING CONTROL

|

DESIGN GUIDE

Planning & Design
The most important phase of any Square D® Clipsal® lighting control project is the planning and design phase. A complete plan starts with a good understanding of the lighting control
requirements. To determine what is required, start by asking the right questions.
1. WHERE IS LIGHTING CONTROL REQUIRED?

For example, a school may have both exterior and interior lighting that requires control. Define the exterior and interior lighting that requires control, and segregate lighting by space.
2. HOW IS EACH SPACE USED?

Private offices within a building may share the same lighting control needs. Meeting and training rooms may have the same lighting control needs, regardless of where these spaces fall within
in a building. Functionally, a classroom differs from a restroom, so the entire site, including interior and exterior spaces, should be segregated based on the way the space is used. Similarly used
spaces may share basic lighting control needs.
3. H O W W I L L O CC U PA N T S WA N T TO CO N T R O L L I G H T I N G TO B E S T U T I L I Z E T H E S PAC E?

Consider the needs of the occupant. For example, multi-scene control may be used in classrooms, conference rooms and training rooms. Restrooms, employee break rooms, copier/mail rooms
and utility closets may only require occupancy-based control. Exterior parking lot and pathway lighting that is only needed at night may turn on and off based on time of day or sunrise and
sunset. Private offices may require multi-scene of dimming controls, while open office areas may turn on and off with time of day schedule. While lighting control should save money, it should
also enhance the functionality of the space.
4. WHAT T YPE OF LIGHTING IS TO BE CONTROLLED?

If dimming is required, the type of lighting must be considered when selecting a dimmer.
5. WHEN IS LIGHTING USED?

This is important. During working hours, lighting may be used differently than during cleaning hours, for example. Consider the lighting use on weekends and after hours. Lighting may not be
used during holidays, so it is important to define when lighting control will be needed giving consideration to holidays, inventory, shutdown and other events that may occur only once per year.
6. IS OCCUPANC Y PREDIC TABLE?

If an area has predictable days and hours of occupancy, it may be best to use a time of day schedule to control lighting in this area. For areas with less predictable occupancy patterns,
occupancy-based control may be required, or a combination of control schemes may best meet the functional needs of occupants and the energy efficiency needs of building owner. Having a
clear understanding of the occupancy patterns of the building will help the designer develop a lighting control system that is convenient for occupants and achieves energy efficiency.
7. W H AT A R E T H E E N E R G Y C O D E R E Q U I R E M E N T S ?

Depending on the energy codes governing a particular building, based on its use, its location, and size, there may be specific requirements for lighting control. Understanding the functional
requirements as defined by the governing energy code is essential in the planning and design phase. Oversights at this point could result in costly changes later to bring lighting and lighting
control systems into compliance with building codes. In most energy codes, lighting and lighting control requirements are intermingled, with some codes providing prescriptive lighting control
requirements to bring otherwise non-complying lighting systems into compliance.
8. W H AT A R E T H E F U N C T I O N A L L I G H T I N G C O N T R O L R E Q U I R E M E N T S F O R E A C H S PA C E ?

At this point in the planning process, start defining the functional lighting control needs for each space. This will aid the designer in the product selection process. Keep in mind that spaces that
are used in similar ways may have similar or identical lighting control needs. Grouping spaces based on use may simplify this process. Lighting functions to consider are:
• Dimming or switching
• Manual or automatic
• Schedule-based shutoff or occupancy-based shutoff
• Mutli-scene or manual dimming control
• Manual or automatic daylighting control

Will the occupant want a single switch to turn on and off all lighting in the building? Will the cleaning crew require special lighting controls to turn on multiple groups or zones? What type of
automatic shutoff shall be used to turn off lighting in the building when the building is unoccupied?
The planning phase usually involves mapping the system requirements, and determining the hardware needs of the system. Thought should be given to placement and packaging of hardware,
programming and cabling requirements. As planning transitions into designing, documentation of the system layout and functionality becomes more critical.

INSTALL ATION

Once the design phase is complete, installation may begin. Several simple steps are typically followed to achieve a fast and accurate installation of the C-BusTM network control
system.
1. Implementing programming requirements of the design on a PC. Build a database using C-Bus software that includes all the C-Bus units used in the lighting control system.
Each unit is assigned a unit address.
2. Using the PC and a PC Interface, initialize and program each C-Bus device one at a time.
Each device is assigned a unit address.
3. Packaging, cabling and electrical installation of the hardware.
4. Finalization and additional programming of C-Bus devices as required.
COMMISSIONING

Verify compliance with the specification and commission the system. A design review may be performed at this point in the process. Modifications or design changes seldom
require installation of additional hardware, typically requiring only programming changes.
