GL-IPAC-SW8 • 6
Overview
The Crestron
switching panel provides internal controls for eight circuits of
switched load and is expandable to support up to 64 circuits of switched load by adding external
panels and switching modules. It features local inputs for sensors and keypads, along with an
LCD user interface where installers or users can set up the system without having to connect to
a computer.
The GL-IPAC-SW8 is perfect for smaller-sized installations, such as retail stores, small office
spaces, parking garages, and service stations, which typically require only on/off switching—
eliminating the need for a larger, more expensive panel. In addition, the GL-IPAC-SW8 can be
easily integrated with Crestron automation solutions for centralized monitoring and remote
control of multiple locations.
Features
Out of the Box Lighting Controls
The GL-IPAC-SW8 comes preconfigured for use as the central control processor for a Crestron
Green Light® Power Switching system. Right out of the box, the GL-IPAC-SW8 affords easy
setup and programming for a complete switching system consisting of up to 64 switched loads,
16 local and two remote keypads, 24 occupancy and photo sensors, and 100 time clock events.
Keypads with as many as 12 buttons each can be programmed easily to control lighting loads
and other functions. Lights can be programmed to turn on and off automatically using the built-
in astronomical time clock. Lighting events may be programmed to occur at specific times or at
an offset from sunrise or sunset. Occupancy sensors and photo sensors may also be
implemented to enable automatic on/off lighting control based on room occupancy and ambient
light levels.
Save Energy
Built-in support for occupancy and photo sensors helps to strike a perfect balance between
daylight harvesting and comfort, reducing energy costs. Automatically turn off lights in
unoccupied areas to allow natural light level in the space to light the area. Crestron GLS sensors
can be placed strategically in each space to maximize the benefits of energy management.
Easy Deployment
Packaged in one metal enclosure, the GL-IPAC-SW8 can be deployed in small spaces, including
plenum ceilings. The surface-mount GL-IPAC-SW8 can be affixed to a wall or ceiling rafter,
cleanly out of sight. Standard wire-entry knockouts are provided.
