NX Lighting Control Panel Relays

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLING INDIVIDUAL RELAYS

The NX Panel can be configured with single and/or double pole mechanically latching relays pre-installed. If the project requires 

additional relays (and space is available in the panel), additional relays can be field installed as shown in Figure 2.

CAUTION! ALWAYS REMOVE POWER FROM THE NX PANEL’S TRANSFORMER PRIOR TO MAKING ANY ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 

INSIDE THE PANEL. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY, DAMAGE TO THE PANEL, AND VOID ITS WARRANTY.

1.  Verify that power is turned off at breaker panel before installing relay in panel.
2.  Remove panel door assembly from panel enclosure.
3.  Locate an open relay position (two adjacent positions for a double pole relay) in the panel and remove the relay guard cover(s).
4.  Insert relay into mounting bracket noting proper orientation of input/output sides. Verify that relay is securely held in  

mounting bracket.

5.  Connect relay input and output as shown in the wiring diagram below. Connect input to panel I/O control card using relay 

connector cable. Attach red lead to red screw and blue wire to blue screw. Slide connector on to header pins of I/O control card. 

Connect line and load leads to relay output.

Description

General Precautions

Installation

Precautions

• Read and understand all instructions before beginning installation.

• For installation by a qualified electrician in accordance with National and/or local Electrical Codes and the following instructions.

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

  Turn power off at breaker panel before servicing unit.  Never wire energized electrical components.

Never operate unit with door panel or relay guards removed.

USE COPPER CONDUCTOR ONLY.

• Confirm that device ratings are suitable for application prior to installation.

• Use only approved materials and components (i.e. wire nuts, electrical box, etc.) as appropriate for installation.

NOTICE:

  Do not install if any damage to product is noticed.

Installation

1. Verify that power is turned off at breaker panel before installing relay in panel.

2. Remove panel door assembly from panel enclosure.

3. Locate an open relay position (two adjacent positions for a double pole relay) in the panel and remove the relay guard cover(s).

4. Insert relay into mounting bracket noting proper orientation of input/output sides.  Verify that relay is securely held in mounting bracket.

5. Connect relay input and output as shown in the wiring diagram below.  Connect input to panel I/O control card using relay connector

cable. Attach red lead to red screw and blue wire to blue screw.  Slide connector on to header pins of I/O control card.  Connect line and

load leads to relay output.
