Controls

nLight ECLYPSE extends the power of nLight® to deliver the next level of lighting control. This BTL listed B-BC controller leverages native BACnet™/IP and WiFi to let you seamlessly integrate your lighting control system with your building management system. With its robust embedded web server, nLight ECLYPSE hosts edge applications and generates actionable, visual data with ENVYSION user interface. nLight ECLYPSE is lighting control…only smarter.

The nLight nIO D / nIO 1S is a low voltage device that interfaces and provides network addressability for a variety of non-nLight devices. The nIO D is an output device that controls the dimming level of 0-10 VDC dimming ballasts / LED drivers. The nIO 1S is an input device that detects a toggle or momentary dry contact closure switch. Additionally, the nIO 1S can read a 0-10 VDC dimming control signal from non-nLight dimming photocells and wall dimmers.

nIO D / nIO 1S devices wire into any zone of nLight devices (sensors, power packs, WallPods) using CAT-5 cabling. Class 2 interface wires are present with each unit: an input or an output wire, and a common/ground. The nIO D / nIO 1S comes standard in an inline wired housing or with a 1/2 chase nipple for mounting to a luminaire or junction box knockout (KO option).

nIO 1S
When a contact closure is detected, the nIO 1S can operate in one of several modes:
Wall Pod Mode: Turns relays on/off within its zone
Local Scene Mode: Initiates a scene to run on its local zone
Remote Scene Mode: Requests the Gateway to run a system profile on non-local devices or zones
Time Delay Sweep Mode: Initiates an occupancy time delay sweep (i.e., temporarily sets timers to 0, 5 (default), 10, 15, 30 sec or 1 min) When used to read a 0-10 VDC dimming signal, the nIO 1S can control any dimming output within its zone.

nIO D
When used as an addressable dimming output, the nIO D can control standard (non-DALI) 0-10 VDC dimmable ballasts / LED drivers. This provides a simple cost-effective method of adding additional dimming zones to a room and/or making every fixture individually controllable. This dimming output can be controlled in many ways.

The nLight 8-Port Bridge increases the number of lighting control zones in an nLight system. This ability stems from the fact that each Bridge has 8 RJ-45 ports into which zones of daisy-chained nLight-enabled devices can connect. The Bridge also is an integral component of the communication backbone in an nLight network. Fundamentally, Bridges act as hubs by aggregating traffic from the connected downstream zones and placing it onto the backbone. They also act as routers by forwarding information from the backbone out to the applicable downstream zones. The Bridge's actual backbone link is formed by connecting to another Bridge or a Gateway via CAT-5 cabling through one of its RJ 45 ports. Finally, Bridges can combine system power from zones that are net contributors of power (i.e. those with downstream power packs and power supplies) and distribute it to zones that are net consumers of power (i.e. those with only sensors). Maximum power output per port is 40mA.

The Push-Button SwitchPod Series of low voltage wall stations interface with standard Sensor Switch occupancy sensors and power packs in order to implement a wide range of single and bi-level switching applications. These switch devices provide an elegant and cost effective way of deploying bi-level lighting control that meet energy and building codes without having to source special sensors or power packs.

Commonly required by building codes (such as California Title 24), bi-level lighting control is an easy and convenient method of delivering extra energy savings without inconveniencing the occupants. The most common bi-level configuration requires one lighting load to be switched on automatically when occupancy is detected by an occupancy sensor, while a second lighting load can be turned on manually by the occupant if desired. Both loads can then be turned off manually or via the occupancy sensor timing out. Sensors with photocells can also be configured with SwitchPods in order to add override off capabilities.

SwitchPods are all single gang decorator style devices available as single or dual switch units. Versions are also available that work in 3-way applications and/or have a 0-10 VDC dimming output. Units defaulted to dual manual-on operation are also available. For digital solutions to bi-level lighting applications, nLight-enabled wall stations (WallPods), power packs and sensors are necessary.
