All panels must be assigned a unique Network
Address in order to communicate over the lighting
network. Switch positions are labeled 1 through 8
and are valued at 1 through 128 as shown above. The
network value is calculated by adding the value of the
switch positions that are in the ON position. In the
example above switches 1 and 3 are ON giving the
panel the network address of 5. Addresses 1 through
254 are valid addresses. Zero and 255 are reserved
for system use. To initialize the network address with
the controller, press the panel rest button after the
address is set.
Dimmer Wiring Information
There are four Dimming Output channels at the bottom
of the ControlKeeper 4A that allow for connection to 0-
10V dimming ballasts. Up to fifty 0-10V ballasts may be
controlled off of one dimming output channel.
Please wire the ballast 0-10V wiring per the manufacturer’s
specification. Before connecting the ballast 0-10V wires to
the ControlKeeper 4A, please run the following test.
Touch the two 0-10V wires together, the dimming ballasts
should go full low. When you disconnect these wires, the
dimming ballasts should go full bright. If the ballasts do not
perform properly, there is a miswire or problem with one
of the ballasts wired. Do not connect the ballasts to the
Greengate system until this test proves operational.
1. Perform the test outlined in the paragraphs above prior
to connection.
2. Terminate the 0-10V wires at the bottom left corner
of the ControlKeeper 4A on the terminal strip labeled
Dimming Outputs. Each of these output channels
is labeled VIO and GRY. This stands for the violet
and gray wiring that is standard for these types of
ballasts. Please match wire color to the terminal. If
the lighting load is also being switched by a relay, it is
recommended that the relay number and the channel
number for the dimmer output match.

Connecting Low-Voltage Inputs
Analog Input Wiring
This section describes the wiring for analog input devices.
There are four analog input wiring terminals on the left side
of the ControlKeeper 4A to allow for wiring of the analog
input devices. Analog Input devices must have a 0-10 VDC
output for use with these channels. Please refer to the
documentation that came with your device for information
on proper placement and installation of the device. Proper
placement is critical to system function. These instructions
describe the wiring of the device at the panel end assuming
that the devices are analog photo sensors that have been
purchased from Greengate. Please contact technical support
if you are using a device not purchased from Greengate to
verify compatibility and wiring to the Greengate system.
1. Use 18 AWG twisted, unshielded wire for all low
voltage analog input device wiring.
2. Maximum length for analog input device wiring is
500 feet.
3. Wire the signal wire (yellow wire) to one of the
terminals labeled AN1, AN2, AN3, or AN4.
4. Wire the ground wire (black wire) to the corresponding
COM channel located below the Analog signal
channels.
5. Wire the +24V wire (red wire) to the peripheral power
con24V supply.
6. Ensure that the local remote jumpers have been moved
to the local position (over the top 2 pins) for both
jumpers (J7 & J8) to enable 24VDC to the low voltage
switch channels. See Figure 9 for location.
7. Please see wiring detail in Figure 9 for details on
connections of a Greengate provided analog photosensor
to the ControlKeeper 4A system.
