SECTION 260923

LIGHTING CONTROL DEVICES

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 DESCRIPTION OF WORK

A. The lighting control system shall allow each relay to be controlled by the facilities
management system. An interface assembly is provided in each relay panel to allow for
one ON and one OFF momentary contact closure per relay. Each ON and OFF contact
shall provide a 24VAC signal to the interface assembly. Local override switches may be
connected to the relays as required.

1.2 QUALITY ASSURANCE

A. Electrical Components, Devices, and Accessories: Listed and labeled as defined in

NFPA 70, Article 100, by a testing agency acceptable to authorities having jurisdiction,
and marked for intended use.

B. The manufacturer must be prepared to demonstrate the equipment he is proposing

before the closing of tender.

C. Submit a one line diagram of the proposed system configuration for review.

D. Relay panel schedules indicating circuits connected, inputs assigned, area controlled,
panel location and panel equipment details.

1.3 SUBMITTALS

A. Section 013300 – Submittal Procedures.

B. Supply manuals on system components to permit ease of installation, system operation

and maintenance including, but not limited to the following:
1. Lighting control system step by step operating instructions.
2. Relay panel schedules indicating circuits connected, inputs assigned, area controlled,
panel location and panel equipment details.

1.4 General

A. Provide a complete low voltage lighting control system for the building as shown on the
plans and specified herein. All relays, transformers and interface devices shall be pre-
assembled and pre-wired by the manufacturer on back panels in the relay cabinets.

PART 2 - PRODUCTS

2.1 MANUFACTURERS

A. Low voltage control system shall be manufactured by Watt Stopper or approved equal.

Devices
 All components including occupancy sensors and photocell are to be supplied by single
manufacturer of this type of equipment.

B. Override Controller shall by manufactured by Watt Stopper or equal.

2.2 RELAYS

A. Lighting control relays mounted in relay panels shall be WR-6161 full load relays suitable
for all types of lamp loads up to 20 Amperes at 347 VAC. Load contacts shall be able to
sustain 1500 amp fault currents for up to 20 milliseconds. The relay shall be contained in
a molded case containing both low and high voltage terminals and shall have a built-in
operating lever marked on/off for manual switching at the relay panel.

B. It shall be impossible to continuously energize the relay coil by holding the low voltage
switch in either the on or off position. Relays shall be complete with control diodes and
internal control circuit eliminator contacts. Eliminator contacts shall automatically
condition the input control circuit so as to reverse the coil polarity requirement
immediately after an on/off control pulse is received.

C. Relays shall be CSA and UL listed.

1. Relays shall be Douglas WR-6161-82 or approved equal.
2. All Lighting Control Panel shall be installed with BMS Module compatible with the existing
campus energy management system.

2.3 RELAY PANELS

A. Where indicated on the drawings, provide a relay cabinet. The cabinet shall be for
surface installation, with a lockable hinged door assembly as required.

2.4 OVERRIDE CONTROL

A. Control switch shall be capable of controlling different scheme (max of 8 scheme).

2.5 RELAY CABINETS

A. All relay cabinets must be UL/CSA approved for factory pre-assembly.

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 INSTALLATION

A. Provide #18 wire or larger as recommended by the manufacturer to switches.

B. Adhere to manufacturer's recommendations as to maximum quantity of relays per switch.
