Powerlink® G3

1000 Level Controller

Powerlink® G3 Intelligent Lighting Panels provide a simple, cost-effective and energy code-
compliant way to control branch lighting circuits from a standard panelboard. Powerlink G3
systems feature a powerful microprocessor based controller that performs the necessary
communications and logic functions to achieve branch circuit control of lighting in
commercial, institutional and industrial buildings.
1000 Controller Ideally suited for stand-alone systems in retail, office, institutional and industrial facilities, the
1000 level controller incorporates all the features of the 500 level controller plus the added
functionality of a flexible time scheduler that eliminates the need for an external time switch.
Scheduling capabilities of the 1000 controller exceed the capabilities of traditional
mechanical time switches and energy management systems.
The 1000 level controller is available with an optional Johnson Controls compatible N2 (JCI-
N2) interface. The NF1000G3N2 is a Johnson Controls Metasys® certified controller that
provides many of the features of the 1000 level controller and communicates directly with
Johnson Controls Metasys or Companion devices.
