Lighting Zone Controller Panels with Feed-Through Connections
The lighting zone controller (LZC) intelligently manages
lighting loads to minimize power consumption based on
input from wall controls, occupant sensors, and/or daylight
sensors. It works as part of a total system by
communicating with a Digital microWATT router panel and
server or GRAFIK 7000P processor. Each lighting zone
controller includes an integrated current transformer to
measure load power consumption.
The panel can provide independent switching and/or
dimming for 4 circuits (small panel), or for 12, 18, or 24
circuits (standard panel). The lighting zone controller panel
with feed-through connections accepts separate feeds for
each load and requires an external distribution panel.
Lighting Zone Controller (LZC) Panels work with:
Digital microWATT lighting automation systems
GRAFIK 7000 centralized lighting control systems
• Lutron fluorescent dimming ballasts

Lighting Zone Controller Panels
Specifications
Power
• Input power: 100-277 V , 50/60 Hz, phase-to-
neutral
• Each LZC controls a single 20 A circuit (16 A of
continuous load)
• Models are UL, CSA, NOM, and/or CE listed
Features
• Provides direct control of a full 16 A circuit of Lutron
Hi-Lume and ECO-10 3-wire fluorescent dimming
ballasts
• Capable of switching 16 A of high in-rush lighting
load such as magnetic fluorescent ballast, electronic
fluorescent ballast, incandescent, magnetic low-
voltage, electronic low-voltage and HID loads
• Capable of switching motor loads up to
1/3 HP @ 120 V and 1/2 HP @ 277 V
• Contains Lutron’s patented Softswitch
TM technology,
which prevents arcing that is typically associated
with high in-rush lighting loads
• Supports single or multi-location wall controls for
dimming and switching zones
• Accepts inputs from most 15- and 24-volt occupant
sensors; can supply up to 60 mA to occupant
sensors (40 mA at 100 V , 50 Hz input)
• Can control light level due to variations in ambient
light using a Lutron daylight sensor
• Provides an automatic 100-hour burn-in function to
assist in the seasoning of new fluorescent lamps
• Includes an emergency contact closure to force
lights on to a preset level
• Can be daisy-chained to provide a maximum of 63
lighting zone controllers per LZC link
• Wires to the LZC link of a Digital microWATT router
panel (DMW-RP3) or the LZC link of a GRAFIK
7000P processor
The following features require a connection with a
Digital microWATT or GRAFIK 7000 system:
• Set minimum and maximum light levels
• Set unoccupied light level
• Set daylight sensor gain
• Start, stop, pause, or resume 100-hour burn-in
mode
• Set occupant sensor timeout length
• Enable/disable and monitor daylight sensors,
occupant sensors, and/or wall controls
• Measure power and energy usage
• Set unit’s current mode (see below)
Unit Modes
Normal Working Hours: This mode is active
when no other mode is active. In this mode the
unit uses wall controls, daylight sensors, and
occupancy sensors to determine the actual light
level. These inputs are combined in order to save
the maximum amount of energy.
Emergency: In emergency mode the lights will go
to the emergency light level. Emergency mode
may be entered by opening the hardware
emergency contact closure input at the router
panel (in a Digital microWATT system), via the
circuit selector SENSE connection (in a GRAFIK
7000 system), or via software. See the
Specification Submittal for the GRAFIK 7000P
processor and/or the Digital microWATT router
panel for additional wiring details.
Flash: Flash mode changes the actual light level
from the high end to the low end every 4
seconds. It is used for locating or troubleshooting
a unit.
Afterhours: In afterhours mode, the units will wait
a user-configurable period of time (warning time).
After the warning time, the lights will flash a user-
configurable number of times. Then, the lights will
dim to low end for a user-settable period of time
(off delay). Finally, the lights will turn off. The lights
will go on and the cycle will repeat if the space
becomes occupied or the light level is changed
via the wall control or via the software.

Burn-In: Burn-in mode sets the lights to the
maximum level for a period of 100 hours, after which
burn-in mode will automatically end. During this time
the lights can only be turned on and off via wall
control, timeclock, or through the software. Burn-in
mode can be manually started, paused, resumed, or
stopped. This mode should be run any time new
dimmable fluorescent lamps are installed.
Non-Dim: This mode activates features for units that
cannot be dimmed. These features are: during flash
mode, lights will turn on and off; when daylight
sensor cutback reaches 25%, the lights will turn off;
and if load shed is greater than zero, the lights will
turn off. This mode can be used in conjunction with
any other mode.
