making certain to observe polarity. When finished, the
two end panels will have a single pair of wires coming
into the network terminal block while all middle panels
in the network will have two sets of wires.
3. Set the network termination jumpers. On the end
panels on the network set to the terminated position.
For all panels in the middle of the network, remove
the network termination jumper. See Figures 4 & 5 for
details.
4. On the two end panels in the network, set the network
termination jumpers to the terminated position.
5. On the middle panels in the network, remove the
network termination jumpers.
6. Set all panel addresses using the panel network
identification DIP Switches on each panel. See Figures
5 & 6 for location and details.
7. Using the panel reset switch, issue a soft reset to each
panel to initialize the panel address. See Figure 5 for
location of the reset switch.

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 address 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 reset button after the
address is set.

Connecting Low Voltage Inputs
The ControlKeeper 4 logic board can support both dry
contact closure and Digital Switch inputs. If a combination
of contact input switches and Digital Switches are being
used, the combined total cannot exceed 64 inputs.
Regardless of input type used, it is recommended that
all input wiring be done prior to applying power to the
logic board or at the very least with the terminal blocks
removed from the logic board. Please verify that there are
no shorts to AC Ground prior to connection of input devices.
Regardless of input type, the following notes apply.
1. All low voltage wiring is Class 2 wiring.
2. All low voltage wiring must enter the cabinet into the
Low voltage section of the enclosure. Low voltage
wiring can be brought into the enclosure from the left
side of the enclosure. Failure to separate high voltage
from low voltage wiring may cause interference with
logic board function.
3. All low voltage wiring must be run in separate conduit
from line voltage wiring.
4. Test all low voltage wiring for shorts to AC ground
before connection to the relay panel.
