Leviton GreenMAX® DRC Room Control System

Overview

Confidently design and specify a secure, simple, and scalable distributed control system with GreenMAX® DRC Wired or Wireless solutions. This system enables a full suite of lighting control capabilities, including programmable room behaviors, occupancy/vacancy sensing, daylight harvesting, scene control, and multi-location control for various lighting applications. It is fully configurable using the GreenMAX DRC App on any Wi-Fi-enabled Android or iOS smart device.

The system secures data with fully encrypted communication, ensuring privacy. It offers flexibility to grow and change with business needs, allowing for the addition of components and reconfiguration of rooms and zones via the smart device. User Access Controls allow authorized occupants to adjust lighting settings in their own areas, balancing pre-configured settings with human-centric lighting. The system can be implemented as a plug-and-play, Category 6, RJ45 hardwired digital network or a wireless mesh system.

Lighting Evolved

The GreenMAX DRC Room Control System revolutionizes facility lighting control, addressing modern needs with easy specification, low-cost installation, and convenient end-user control. It supports data-driven lighting design, communication standardization, and human-centric lighting principles, while ensuring code compliance with standards like IECC, ASHRAE 90.1, and Title 24.

Designed with Every Stakeholder in Mind

• Specifier: Offers an interoperable line of room control solutions for custom system building and simple specification. Provides one-stop code compliance for various energy standards.
• Installer: Features a room-agnostic distributed system for independent room operation, reducing installation time and wiring costs. Ladderless commissioning via the GreenMAX DRC App simplifies setup.
• End User: Allows reconfiguration and expansion of system components. Individual user controls within the App enable authorized occupants to adjust lighting settings for a more productive environment.

Scalability and Application

The GreenMAX DRC Room Control System grows with any business, allowing for expansion from single-room solutions to entire facilities. It supports both wired (Category 6, RJ45) and wireless mesh networks. The system is designed for easy reconfiguration and expansion, adapting to evolving facility needs.
