Chapter 1 Overview
Course Goals
This course is designed for agents who will be commissioning lighting control
projects. By the end of this training, participants should have the knowledge to
commission a basic lighting control system. Course participants should also have
knowledge of features, tools and resources for achieving more complicated
applications and troubleshooting.
The course will achieve this by instructing attendees in:
Commissioning Expectations
Commissioning is a process which verifies that a lighting control system has been
installed in accordance with recommended installation practices and has been
programmed or adjusted to meet the customers required needs.
During the commissioning process, Cooper Controls is expected to provide the
following services:
Pre-program the lighting control strategy including:
Gathering all necessary data for programming the system from the
electrical contractor/owner/engineer.
Overview 1-1
Training the end user on the lighting system hardware and software.
Providing the contractor/owner with closing paperwork including a trip
report, printouts of programming, a database backup of programming
and any other pertinent details.
Overview 1-2
Standalone Sensors
What is Involved with Commissioning Motion Sensors as a
Stand Alone System?
Expectations on motion sensor installation include:
Adjust time delay and sensitivity settings for any motion sensors as
necessary.

on. Fully right, invokes auto on. Fully left, manual on.
OWS-DT
All motion sensors should be located at least 4 feet away from any
HVAC returns.
Motion sensors should be placed so that they can not see into
areas they should not be controlled from. In some cases, this may
mean masking the sensor with tape or special shield guards.
Relay Basics
Verify all high voltage wiring looks sound. No loose wires, burn
marks, stray wires are capped.
Verify that high voltage relays that are wired match the
preliminary information provided. If circuits are tagged, verify
circuit information as well.
Verify that when powered, all displays are lit, status LEDs are
flashing as described for devices in this chapter.
See input chapter for information specific to commissioning different input types.
LiteKeeper 16 & 32
16 Size Enclosure
32 Size Enclosure
Transformer Well
Transformer Information
The Transformer is mounted in the lower right corner of the standard enclosures. It
is a double tapped transformer to which 120VAC or 277VAC may be wired. A
120VAC/347VAC transformer is also available.
Power
The override card is powered from the transformer through a separate set of
secondary wires that carry 18-20 VAC. The power supply on the override card
transforms this AC voltage to 24 VDC. This voltage is used to power the control
relays.
Relay enclosures with latching or two pole relay cards will not
override instantly if the enclosure has been powered down and the
relay cards are in the process of booting up. This relay card
boot up can take 15 to 30 seconds. Because these relays are
mechanically held, their state will not change until boot up is
complete. If they were held ON prior to the power outage, they
will remain ON until the external override takes place. This boot
up process will also occur if the panel ribbon cable is not
connected to the override card.
Normally closed relays will turn OFF when the external override is
moved to the ON position and turn ON when the external override
is moved to the OFF position.
The manual switch integral to the relay on some relay cards has the
ultimate override capability.
Override switch on the SOC. The SOC override will immediately turn
the relays on or off unless it is controlling the LRC/LRM or TPRC.
For those relay types if there is either no control panel in the enclosure
or the control panel is not powered there will be a 30-second response
time for the SOC override.
External bypass switch wired into the terminal block on the SOC card.
There is a manual switch on each relay that indicates relay status and
allows for temporary override of the lighting load. If the switch is
moved towards the center of the modular relay card, the relay is ON. If
the relay switch is moved towards the outside of the relay card, the
relay is OFF. If this switch is used to override lighting, the relay will
stay in the overridden state until the next command to that relay from
the logic board.
2.
The Latching Relay Card has a status LED at the bottom that will assist
in determining if the latching relay card is operating properly. In
normal circumstances, when power is applied to the panel and the panel
is plugged into the override card or relay card, the LED will flash on
and off consistently. This indicates that operation is normal.
3.
4.
If the logic board is unplugged from the SOC and the SOC is left in the
AUTO position, the relays will remain in their last known state and the
LED will stop flashing. If the SOC switch is moved to ALL ON or
ALL OFF, the LED will be off for 30 seconds then resume flashing
when the relays assume the ALL ON or ALL OFF state.
5.
If the LED remains steady ON or OFF, please verify that the logic
board is plugged into the SOC and that the transformer powering the
panel is receiving the proper voltage. If everything appears OK with
this checkout and the relay card is still unresponsive, power down the
unit and verify that the chips on the LRC are properly seated. If on
power up it is still unresponsive, it is recommended that the relay card
be swapped out.
The SRM is the same relay as on our standard relay card which is an
electrically held normally open relay. In the event of a power failure,
the SRM relay will assume its normally open state. Upon return of
power, the SRM will resume its commanded state.
The SRM contains an LED indicator that will be lit when the relay is
commanded by the control panel to be in the closed position.
During initial power up, the relay on the Latching Relay Module will
remain in its current latched state for a period of 30 seconds. After 30
seconds, the relay will assume its programmed state.
During a power outage, the LRM relay will remain in the state it was in
prior to the power outage. Once power returns, the relay will stay in its
state for 30 seconds then assume its programmed state.
There is a manual switch on each relay that indicates relay status and
allows for temporary override of the lighting load. If the switch is
moved towards the center of the modular relay card, the relay is ON. If
the relay switch is moved towards the outside of the relay card, the
relay is OFF. If this switch is used to override lighting, the relay will
stay in the overridden state until the next command to that relay from
the logic board.
The TPRM has an LED that will light up when the relay is commanded
to be in the closed position.
During initial power up, the relays remain in their current latched state
for a period of 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, the relay will assume its
programmed state.
During a power outage, the relays will remain in the state they were in
prior to the power outage. Once power returns, the relays will stay in
their current state for 30 seconds then assume programmed state.
There is a manual switch on each relay that indicates relay status and
allows for temporary override of the lighting load. If this switch is
used to override lighting, the relay will stay in the overridden state until
the next command to that relay from the logic board.
Each relay plugs in to the relay card with a small two-wire connector.
To program the relay, you will need to know what relay slot # the
connector is plugged into. Also, if relays are not responding properly,
make certain that this connector is connected to the Two Pole Relay
Card.
Flushmount Kit
The Flushmount Kit is a door and flange assembly that replaces the enclosure door.
It allows the contractor to mount the enclosure flush with the wall.

If switches are pilot lit, with power down to the lighting controller,
verify that the jumper on the lighted switch card is set for the
correct pilot light type, i.e. LED or Incandescent.
If switches provided are pilot lit, verify that the pilot lights
function in addition to the switch functionality.
Terminology
In the Keeper controllers, contact closure input types consist of momentary,
maintained, and toggle types. We need to make certain it is clear how these types
are defined for both wiring and programming purposes.

All low-voltage wiring must enter the cabinet into the LowVoltage section of the enclosure. Failure to separate high voltage
from low-voltage wiring may cause interference with logic board
function. All low-voltage wiring must be run in separate conduit
from line-voltage wiring.

For LK16/32 only, ensure that the local remote jumpers have been
moved to the local position (over pins 2 & 3) for both jumpers (J5
& J6) to enable 24VDC to the low-voltage switch channels.
3-Way Applications
Three way applications are easily achieved with momentary and toggle type
switches. Because of their pulsed action, it is possible to bring the switch wiring to
the same wiring input channel. This greatly simplifies programming as well as frees
up other input channels if they are necessary. If switches are pilot lit, it is not
recommended to exceed 6 LED switches per channel or 3 Incandescent switches per
channel.
If employing standard (maintained) 3-way switches (24 VDC power only) then the
switch closure must close onto the "ON & +24" channels. That channel would be set
up as a maintained switch, just like it is if it was installed in a class 1 environment.
However, you will be employing your 3-way switches as a "low voltage device".
Instead of the hot providing current to a fixture, the hot (+24VDC powered from the
lighting controller) is closing across the input channel on the Cooper Controls Logic
Board. See below diagram for clarification.

Cooper Controls does not support switches obtained from other sources unless a
sample is sent to us for testing first in order to make certain that the switch is in the
proper voltage range, current draw, and has the correct resistors installed for proper
operation.
Please note that these figures may decrease if motion sensors, photosensors or digital
switches are being used with the controller. Please contact Technical Support with
the numbers and types of inputs you are using to determine if the controller will be
able to support them without overloading the power supply.
The lighted switch card comes in different versions including a pilot lit lighted
switch card and a locator light lighted switch card. With the pilot lit lighted switch
card, when the associated load is ON, the switch will be illuminated. With the
locator light lighted switch card, the switch will be dimly illuminated at all times
going full bright when the associated load is ON.
To wire a lighted switch:
1.
Verify that there is no continuity between the pilot light wire and
the ON, OFF and +24V legs. If a short is detected, do not wire to
the Lighted Switch Card as damage will result.
2.
Make certain that power is off to the logic board. Place override
switch in ALL ON position if lighting is necessary during wiring.
3.
4.
Select one relay that will be the relay that triggers the illumination
of the switch. Connect the pilot light wire to the appropriate LSC
Relay channel. (DO NOT CONNECT PILOT LIGHT WIRE TO
MORE THAN ONE LSC RELAY CHANNEL. DAMAGE TO
THE LSC OR SWITCH MAY OCCUR.)
5.
Place jumper at the bottom of the lighted switch card over LED if
you are using LED type switches or INCANDESCENT if you are
using incandescent type switches.
6.
Once all wiring and jumper placement has been completed, power
up the logic panel. If panel has been overridden with the Standard
Override Card Switch while being wired, return switch to AUTO
or middle position to allow normal lighting to resume after making
certain that all necessary relays are on via the relay status LEDs.

be well thought out before using this type of scenario as they can introduce new
challenges.
It is always recommended that whenever possible, motion sensors should run their
own timers. If there is a timer set up in the lighting system, it may cause problems
with the application as shown in the example below:
Example: The timer on the motion sensor is set for 10 minutes. The timer
in the controller is set for 5 minutes. Motion is sensed and the lights
turn ON. Motion continues in the room. After 5 minutes, the
controller time turns off the lights even though there is still motion in
the room. This is due to the lack of the maintained contact retriggering.
In addition, the problem is worsened as it will be 10 minutes from the
last motion sensed before the contact can retrigger.
With this said, there may be a time where the timer does need to be run through our
system. In these situations, it is best to set the timer on the physical motion sensor
down into the lowest range possible, preferably in the seconds range and set the
contact up as a momentary switch in the system. In the controller, you would set the
specific timer desired. When the motion sensor triggers, an ON command goes to
our contacts. The relays linked respond and the programmed timer starts running.
Because the timer is set so low on the motion sensor, the hope is that the sensor will
retrigger often during the timers time period, resetting the timer in the controller
with each ON pulse. Because the switch is set up as a momentary switch, the sensor
issuing an OFF will not cause an off to occur to the lights. All off function will be
handled by the timer set up in the controller. Please be aware that if the motion
sensor does not retrigger from continuous motion, the lights still may turn off despite
the motion in the area. This application depends on the contacts of the motion sensor
retriggering to cause our timer to restart.

Skylight Application
There are two options for mounting a sensor that will be looking at contributed light
from a skylight. It is important that the sensor be mounted such that it is not looking
at direct sunlight as this will cause the sensor to exceed the maximum of its range.
To prevent this, locate the sensor either on the South wall of the skylight well
looking North (sensor should be rotated so that the sensors eye is at the top) or
mount on the ceiling next to the skylight looking down at the floor (sensor should be
rotated so that the sensors eye is closest to the skylight well).\

The Automatic Turn Off Switch is available in either a toggle or decorator type
configuration. Both styles are available in a 5 amp and 20 amp version. It is
important that very lightly loaded circuits use the 5 amp version of the switch to
prevent switching problems.
This device was pioneered by Sentry LLC, which produces the Sentry Switch. While
others produce similar devices, this type of switch is often referred to as a Sentry
Switch in much the same way tissues are referred to as Kleenex.
Wiring Information
The Line Voltage Automatic Turn Off Switch wires in series down line of our relay.
For a single switch application, the switch has two black wires for installation. For
three way switch applications, the switch has a black, red and yellow wire to allow
for the proper traveler wiring. Please note that in 3-way application, both switches
will need to be in the OFF position for the lighting to be off.

Programming Information
A relay that has a Line Voltage Automatic Turn Off switch wired should be
programmed with a Sentry 1 Type warn off for proper operation. Any low-voltage
switches that operate this relay should have the Warn Off option active. These items

TIM Operation
It is possible to hook a TIM into a standalone panel to provide the site with the
capability of dialing in to control lighting loads on and off. It also allows for modem
access from a remote machine with Keeper Enterprise Software. Phone override
codes are programmed as TIM commands or remotes in the LiteKeeper panels.
Remote numbers default to TIM1 through TIM64 in the LiteKeeper System. It is
possible of changing these defaults to other numbers through the Keeper Enterprise
Software.
Please note: If using older TIMs it is important that users wait for the
voice prompts to finish before entering touch-tone data. If touch-tones
are entered during a voice prompt, the TIM may not respond properly.
In addition, at the first voice prompt, if more than thirty seconds pass without a touch
tone entry, modem tones will be heard. At any other prompt, if touch-tone entries
are not made, the TIM will hang up.
1.
2.
3.
If a password has been previously set up, the next prompt is,
"Please enter your password to continue." A password consists of
four digits followed by the "#" key. Three attempts are allowed
after which TIM will hang up. This prompt will be skipped if a
password has not been set up.
4.
The TIM will ask you to "Please enter your user area number
followed by the pound sign" at which time you will need to enter
your TIM code followed by the "#" key.
5.
You will then hear "Please press one for on, zero for off." Enter 1
to turn your lights ON or 0 for OFF.
6.
You will then hear Please press one to continue or zero to quit.
Press 1 if you wish to issue another command or 0 to quit and hang
up.
7.
If you have entered information that the TIM can not process, the
TIM will state "I'm sorry, that's incorrect," and repeat the last
prompt. Entries that cause this error are:
a key other than "1" or "0" when these keys have been
requested
If TIM has been powered down for a long period of time, when
powered up initially, it may request that the user enter a password.
To clear this password and allow entry, hold the reset button for a
period of about 15 seconds. The password will be cleared.

Overview
The purpose of this section is to familiarize you with the process of programming a
LiteKeeper using the keypad and LCD display. This is a brief tutorial of the
common functions which should leave you comfortable enough to begin
programming the LiteKeeper unit in the field. For further information, refer to the
LiteKeeper Keypad Manual provided with our controllers.
Programming Keypad
Programming is entered via a 16 button keypad. Keypad layout and key functions
are as follows:
This section discusses the initial panel setup. It assumes that the enclosure and panel
have been installed per the provided installation instructions. In these steps, you will
prepare the hardware configuration and clear the panels memory in preparation for
programming.

It may also be necessary to assign a switch to a different switch channel. This allows
for flexibility in applications so that one physical switch can perform different
functions from a single command. For instance, you may have a switch wired to
channel 1 that needs to turn on some relays with the on command but also turn off
other relays when that command is issued. It will be necessary to set up two
switches in programming that are programmed to the same switch channel.

Depending on the ordered configuration of your model Digita 5, it may contain
anywhere from one to five buttons. When programming the button, it is important to
note the physical location of the button as this is the number that must be
programmed in. Please refer to the graphic below to identify the button numbers that
should be used for your switch configuration.

Each Digita 5 Button has an internal LED. A feedback must be set up to allow the
LED to illuminate and for the switch to operate properly. The next switch command
is determined from the LED state on the switch. If the LED is ON, it will issue an
OFF command and vice versa. If a feedback is not programmed, the switch will only
be able to issue the command opposite its current LED state.
You can choose from two sources for the status feedback for this switch input: Self
Feedback and Feedback from a Relay.
Self Feedback
When you choose Self Feedback, the indicator light will track with the last command
issued from the switch. The LED will be lit if the switch has issued an ON command
and it will be OFF when the switch has issued an OFF command. It toggles state
with each button press. (This method does not take into account that some other
input such as another switch or a time schedule may have turned ON or OFF lights.
For instance, if the switch is turned ON, the LED will light. If a time schedule turns
off the relays that the switch runs, the LED in the switch will continue to be ON until
that switch issues an OFF command.)
Feedback Relay
Alternatively, you can choose to have the button indicator show the status of one of
the relays controlled by the button. When you choose this option, the indicator light
will be ON when the relay is on and OFF when the relay is off. With this method, if
another switch or time schedule turns the feedback relay off or on, the switch will
reflect the proper status.

Special considerations should be used when using timers which include:
When you use an input timer, you may need to provide a NO TIMER MASK or a
prioritized schedule to protect the lighting from turning off when the timer times out
during regular scheduled ON times.
When a TIM with a timer has been turned ON, only that TIM can cancel the timer by

General Concepts
There are fifteen levels of priority for any command from an input such as a Time
Schedule, Switch, or Remote. Available priorities, in decreasing order of strength
are:
Most control strategies will need no more than three of these priorities: NONE,
PRIORITY and MASTER.
Priority Rules
Time schedules set at NONE can override Time Schedules set at the
PRIORITY or MASTER level if they are controlling the same relay.
This will allow release of time scheduled prioritized commands.
Manual Keypad Commands will force the relay to the commanded state
and to the NONE priority. This will temporarily allow any input
regardless of priority to be able to control that relay again until the next
re-evaluation occurs.
In the picture above, the Master weight at the top of the tree causes the tree to sway
left. When it is removed, it goes to the next highest command in effect, in this case
the PRIORITY command. When that is removed, it goes to the next highest
command; in this case the last issued NONE command.
Now that we have the general concept, lets see if we can take this example further.
Lets say that the tree swaying to the left is causing an ON command to our relay and
the tree swaying to the right is causing an OFF command to be in effect. Also
commands at the same priority level other than NONE are put in order of the latest
command issued is at the top of that section of the tree.
In our example, there are multiple commands that are linked to our relay. The first is
a set of schedules, the first set up to be a PRIORITY ON at 08:00 and the second a
NONE OFF at 19:00. The second is a motion sensor which is set up to issue a
PRIORITY ON command and a NONE OFF command. The third is a switch input
that is set up to be a NONE ON and a MASTER OFF command. Lets see if we
can put this into some pictures to see the interactions:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Now that we understand the basic concepts of how priorities work, lets apply this to
some other examples of priority implementation in the LiteKeeper System. Keep in
mind that a lot of times it is easiest to work from the top priority down when setting
up prioritizations. Figure out first what device command(s) needs to be the highest
priority with levels in between.
Practice Examples:
Example 1: The facilities owners have time schedules set up during the day with a
0600 ON and an 1830 OFF schedule for Monday through Friday. They do not want
the wall switches to work at all during the day but would like them to work after the
1830 OFF time.
How would you do this?
Example 2: The facilities owners have a fire alarm system that gives the lighting
system a dry contact closure when an alarm happens. The facilities owners want all
the emergency lighting to turn on and remain on regardless of wall switch state or
time schedules when an alarm happens. When the alarm system is turned off by the
fire department the owners do not want the lighting to turn off. Instead they want it
to resume its normal scheduled state.
Example 3: The facilities owners have an interior photo sensor that turns ON or OFF
interior lights nearest the windows as needed by the light level. The owners want to
turn OFF lighting entirely at 20:00 and re-enable the photosensor to run the lighting
after 07:00. The lights should only come on at 07:00 if the photosensor is still ON
from lack of light.
How would you do this?
Example 4: The facilities owners have motion sensors in a corridor. The corridor
lights must be ON during the hours of 07:30 and 18:30 but after hours must be run
by motion sensor. Both the time schedule and the motion sensors must be off in
order for the lights to be off in this corridor. How can we set this up?
How would you do this?
Example 5: The electrical contractor wired two switches into a controller that
control the same relays. These are wired into CH1 and CH2. Both switches have 60
minute timers so that the lights are not left on inadvertently. Fred turns on one
switch then tries to turn off the lights using the other switch but the lights do not turn
off. Explain why the lights would not turn off and how this situation could be fixed.
What would happen if the switches had a PRIORITY ON in this situation? Would
the same fix work?

No Offs: OFF commands from the masked input will be ignored during
the period when the mask is active. Please note that if the inputs timer
is counting while the mask period begins and expires during the mask
period, the timers OFF command will occur. To make sure that
expired timers will not cause the lights to go off during this period
you will also need to assign a No Timer mask.
Ignored: All commands from the masked input will be ignored during
the period when the mask is active. The control panel acts as if the link
between the input and the output has been removed during the period
that the mask is active.
No Timer: When an input with a timer turns ON during the period that
the mask is active or if the input timer times out during the period that
the mask is active, no OFF command will be issued by the timer.
No Warn: If an input that initiates a warn turns OFF during the period
that the mask is active, the OFF will cause an immediate OFF rather
than waiting for the warning delay. If the input is turned OFF just
prior to the start of the mask and the warn off timer starts
counting down into the period that the mask is active, that warning
will be issued.
Practice Examples
Practice 1: The facilities owners have a wall switch that they do not want to work at
all during the scheduled time from 07:00 to 18:00. What type of mask would we use
here? Is there another way of doing this through priorities? If so, what method do
you think would be easiest for facilities owners to maintain if they changed their
schedule times later on?
Practice#2: The facilities owners have a wall switch with a 60 minute timer. They
want the switch to work always but do not want the timer to run during the hours of
07:00 to 18:00. What type of mask would we use here? Is there another way of
doing this through priorities?
Practice#3: The facilities owners have a TIM. They want users to be able to turn
the lights ON with the TIM but they do not want them to be able to turn the lights
off. What type of mask would we use here? Is there another way of doing this
through priorities?
Practice 4: The facilities owners have a photosensor that turns on outside lighting at
dusk. They wish to turn the outside lighting off at 23:00 but have the lights come
back on in the morning at 06:30 but only if the photosensor is still calling for the
lights to be ON. What type of mask would we use here?

Troubleshooting Notes
As a commissioning agent, we verify that the sequence of operation works properly
from the devices that make up a system. It is inevitable that troubleshooting skills
will be necessary when a device does not act as it should. This section discusses
troubleshooting procedures for the LiteKeeper and attached device inputs.

Brownout Notes:
In the LiteKeeper system, a brownout to the transformer circuit is defined as an event
that causes our on board DC supply to reach approx. 7VDC or less. In this situation,
our logic board goes into "powerhit" mode in which it will shut down in order to
prevent damage to the software and RAM chips on the circuit board. This could
cause the lighting to be interrupted briefly as the relays may open then close once
power is restored to the normal DC voltage range. This would be an event that
would affect all relays on the panel in this same manner.
Events that could cause this type of could be:
A loose neutral on the transformer circuit can also cause the panel to go
into occasional powerhit mode.
If powerhits are occurring and causing lighting disruptions, it is possible to place the
transformer circuit onto a constant voltage transformer. (for LiteKeeper 16 & 32,
LiteKeeper-8 panels and LiteKeeper-4 units, Cooper Controls would recommend the
model Sola 23-13-060-2 60VA 120V in/ 120V out.) Although not preferred, a UPS
may also be used.
The Standard Override Card (SOC) has two indicator LEDs. The green
LED comes on when the rocker switch overrides the relays ON. The
red LED comes on when the rocker switch overrides the relays OFF. If
the indicator LEDs do not come on when the switch is actuated there
either is a problem with the transformer output to the SOC or with the
power supply components on the circuit board. Check that there is
approx. 18-20VAC from the transformer leads coming into the SOC. If
there is no voltage present, swap the transformer. If the voltage is
present, swap out the SOC.
If the indicator LEDs do come on but the relays do not respond to the
override switch check the connection from the SOC to the relay cards
in the high voltage compartment. It may not be fully seated. You
should be able to CAREFULLY measure 24VDC between the leftmost
pin and the rightmost pin on the relay card/SOC connector. (This
should be done with extreme caution as it is easy to short out the pins if
care is not taken DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS STEP WITH A TOUCH
SCREEN CONTROLLER ENCLOSURE). Caution!! Before opening
the high voltage compartment know the status of the circuit breakers
controlling the loads!
If the indicator LED indicates that the panel is overridden ALL OFF or
ALL ON but the SOC switch is in the AUTO position, do a visual
check to see if there are any wires coming into the bottom of the SOC
other than the transformer leads. If there are wires coming into a
terminal block on the bottom of the SOC, these may go into an
emergency override device or switch that has been triggered. Double
check the status of this device or remove the terminal block to verify
that the panel goes to the proper mode of operation. If no device is
wired, the override card has been damaged. Replace the override card.
Do they work with the SOC override but not with the control panel?
Is there a lighted switch card on this panel? If the answer to this is yes,
please refer to Lighted Switch Troubleshooting on page 7-9 which
contains further information.
Troubleshooting steps:
Go to the control panel that has the relay or relays controlling the affected lighting.
1.
Check the relay status LEDs against what the lighting load is doing. If
the relay status LED reflects what the lighting load is doing, i.e. the
lights are off and the LED is off, more than likely there is a
programming issue that is at fault. Manually command the relay
through the keypad to verify that it operates properly and if so, doublecheck the programming. If the relay status LED does not match the
status of the load, i.e. relay status LED is on and the lights are off,
check that the relay has not been manually overridden using the ALL
ON or ALL OFF Switch.
2.
Check the indicator LEDs on the control panel itself to make sure the
board is functioning. In the LiteKeeper-8 and LiteKeeper-4 the display
should be lit. In a LiteKeeper 16&32, the STATUS LED should be
blinking. The POWER LED should be on. If incorrect, check to make
sure that the control panel is getting the proper power through the
transformer. Refer to Transformer Power on page 7-1 for information
on troubleshooting the transformer.
3.
Use the Standard Override Card to override relays ALL ON. Verify
that the load responds. If possible, override relays ALL OFF. Verify
that the load responds. If the load does not respond the cause is most
likely a failed relay. It is recommended that the relay card be swapped
first. If this fails to resolve the issue, the SOC may also be swapped
out.
4.
If the above steps check out, make sure that the SOC is in AUTO,
override the relay through the local control on the control panel keypad.
You should hear the relay click open and closed. If you are qualified,
you can use a voltmeter to be sure that the relay is actually opening and
closing. Sometimes the relay is not actuating even though you may
hear a clicking sound. In this situation, the clicking sound may not be
as loud as other relays in the cabinet.
5.
If no click is heard but the relay LED is turning on and off, verify that
there are no bent pins in the SOC connection to the logic board ribbon
cable. Verity that the ribbon cable is firmly plugged in and does not
have any tears. If the relay still does not actuate, the problem could be
with either the SOC or Relay Card. It is recommended that the relay
card be swapped out first. If this fails to resolve the issue, the SOC
may also be swapped out.
If the issue is not a hardware issue, programming should be checked. Some of the
control panels have a relay output log capability. If the programs are correct, you
can use these relay logs to check the historical record on the affected relay to help
determine the cause of the problem.
Sometimes a relay will stick slightly, causing lighting loads to not turn
off. This may happen on a rare basis when relays are new due to
manufacturing oils on the contacts of the relays or may happen as
relays age due to pitting on the contacts. Sometimes it is possible to
give the relay casing a slight tap to free the contacts and then actuate
the relay a few times to fix the problem. If a relay continues to exhibit
the sticking behavior, replace the relay card.
2.
3.
The snubber device can also fake out a meter. If readings with a
meter are being referenced to earth ground from the line and load side
of the relay, a very lighting loaded circuit may still register some or all
of the full supplied voltage from the load side to ground when the relay
is open. Please note that this reading is voltage NOT CURRENT. The
more heavily loaded the circuit, the less likely this will occur. As a
precaution, always, Cooper Controls recommends following
recommended NEC circuit lock out practices when work is being done
on a circuit under relay control.
4.
The Latching Relay Card has a status LED at the bottom that will assist
in determining if the latching relay card is operating properly. In
normal circumstances, when power is applied the panel and the panel is
plugged into the override card or relay card, the LED will flash on and
off consistently. This indicates that operation is normal. If the panel is
not plugged into the SOC, the LED will only flash when the panel is in
the ALL ON or ALL OFF State.
2.
If the LED remains steady ON or OFF, please verify that the logic
board is plugged into the SOC and that the transformer powering the
panel is receiving the proper voltage. If everything appears OK with
this checkout and the relay card is still unresponsive, it is recommended
that the relay card be swapped out.
Verify that the proper relay is programmed to actuate the relays, i.e. if
TPRM is used, program the slot that has the white connector.
2.
Verify that relay modules are seated properly and making good
connection with the Modular Relay Card motherboard.
3.
LEDs on the different relay modules reflect that the coil of the relay has
been issued an ON or OFF command.
Verify that the relay connector is attached to the relay card and that the
proper relay slot is programmed where this connector lands.
Reset
Sometimes all it takes to get the control panel working again is a simple reset. The
reset gives the control panel a jump start and may quickly restore a panel to
functionality. Please contact technical support if you encounter a panel that needs to
be reset consistently.
Memory Clear
If the simple reset does not bring the control panel back to operation, you can try
clearing the control panel memory. When you clear the memory the lights will go
out unless you use the override switch on the Standard Override Card or the slide
switch on the LiteKeeper-8, LiteKeeper-4. Once memory has been cleared, verify
basic functionality you will need to reprogram the control panel using the on-board
keypad or the computer software.
Power Cycle
If a reset and cold start do not work, you can make one more attempt at getting the
logic board to function by cycling power to the control panel. This is easily done
with the LiteKeeper 16 & 32 without interrupting the building lighting. You need to
put the Standard Override Card rocker switch in the ON position to maintain the
lights and then disconnect the power connection between the transformer and the
control panel. This connector is between the red set and blue set of wires coming
from the control panel and the red set and blue set of wires coming from the
transformer and is at the lower right side of the control panel. Simply disconnect,
then reconnect the white plastic connector. The control panel then goes through a
power recovery reset and may begin working again. The relay status indicators will
show you what will happen to the lighting in the building when you put the Standard
Override Card rocker switch into the AUTO position. Programming will not be lost
with this power cycle.
In a LK8 or LK4, cycling power will interrupt lighting. The easiest method of
achieving this is to power down the transformer control circuit. Programming will
not be lost with a power cycle.
If the logic board fails to respond to any of the above measures, please contact
technical support to obtain a replacement unit.
Verify that the panel has not been overridden all on or all off.
2.
Remove the switch wiring from the panel and try jumpering the switch
channel using a piece of wire.
The problem is in the switch or wiring to the switch. Check the switch
wiring visually for mis-wires and crosses.
2.
Disconnect the switch from the end of wire and jumper with the switch
wiring. If this works, the switch needs replacement. If this does not
work:
3.
Disconnect both ends of the wire from both switch and panel. Verify
that conductors are not touching and perform a test with an ohm meter
to verify that there are no shorts between wires. If an open line reading
results, wire nut the wires together at one end. Verify at the other end
that you have continuity through the wires.
4.
2.
With switch wiring off the board, with a volt meter, double check that
24VDC is present between the ON and +24VDC of any switch channel
and the OFF and +24VDC of any switch channel.
3.
4.
5.
If the jumper at the panel does not work and you have verified that
24VDC is present, double check the programming. The easiest way to
confirm a programming issue clear the board back to factory defaults
and verify functionality of the switch channels.
6.
Verify the jumper settings on the LSC and local remote jumpers on
the logic board are set properly.
2.
Remove all lighted switch wiring from the Lighted Switch Card.

5.
Turn on all relays for the LSC channels you wish to test.

A switch that internally shorts the +24V to the pilot when the
switch is pressed. Double check that the switch maintains an open
line reading between the on and off wires and the pilot light wires

These figures may be affected by Motion sensor or photosensor usage on the same
logic panel.
Verify that the sensor is getting 24VDC across the red and black
wires if powered from a logic panel. If no 24VDC is present,
double check that the switch input channels at the panel have
For motion sensors that have an option for manual control from an
onboard or directly wired wall switch, verify that the sensor is not
set in Manual mode.
Photosensor Troubleshooting
Lights will not turn on:
Verify that the read out on the display shows that the photosensor
is OFF. If the photosensor is stating it is ON, check for a wiring or
panel issue.
Verify that the sensor is getting 24VDC across the red and black
wires if powered from a logic panel. If no 24VDC is present,
double check that the switch input channels at the panel have
24VDC present. If it does, and jumpering at the panel works,
recheck all wiring and connections for a break.
Manually override the sensor OFF from the LED display. If this
does not operate, disconnect ON leg of sensor from the logic panel.
If lighting remains on, check for a programming issue. Check that
the switch type is set for the correct switch type, for priorities,
timers, or masks.
Verify that the sensor is getting 24VDC across the red and black
wires if powered from a logic panel. If no 24VDC is present,

Consistently intermittent
problems with switches and
feedback LEDs working as

If programming issues are suspected as the root of the problem, review the
programming in the panel to verify that things are what they should be.
However, there are a few tips and tricks that are handy to know when
troubleshooting programming.
If a relay is not turning on or off by an input and the relay is linked to that
input, perform a view relay status command. This will tell you what
command is currently in effect and what priority level it may have. In
addition, it will tell you if there are any timers counting down. If a priority
is shown on the screen, or a timer is counting down, this may be why the
input is not operational.
If contact input switches are not working but there are no priorities
assigned, make certain first that the local remote jumpers are correct. If so,
double check that there are no masks assigned and that the switches are set
up for the proper switch type and channel number. Verify that the ON and
OFF commands are set up to issue the correct commands. Also review the
switch logs to verify that no commands are being logged. Sometimes if
switches are improperly wired, you will see the same command being
issued over and over rather than both Ons and Offs.
If relays are responding at odd times, review the logs and see what the log
data says is happening with the relay. This can be invaluable in finding the
cause of the problem.
Verify all high voltage wiring looks sound. No loose wires, burn
marks, stray wires are capped.
Verify that high voltage relays that are wired match the
preliminary information provided. If circuits are tagged, verify
circuit information as well.
Verify that when powered, all displays are lit, status LEDs are
flashing as described for devices in this chapter.
See input chapter for information specific to commissioning different input types.

To program the controller to run the two pole relay, you will need to program the
proper control relays. Each two pole relay takes up two relay slots. The bottom
relay slot of each two pole relay is the control relay for that relay. This is the relay
that must be programmed in order to command the relay. For ease of programming,
technical support recommends that both relay spaces be programmed with the same
programming.

Sample Network Wiring Applications
Verify that the two distinct ends of the daisy chain network are
properly terminated with the network jumpers.
Network Facts
If wire is used that has a shield, the network shield should be left
floating and should not be connected to ground at any location unless
asked to by technical support. Although the enclosures are painted, you
should take care to wrap bare shield to prevent it from touching the
enclosure or other metal connected to earth ground.
The Network LED is in a cluster of three LED's just to the left of the
relay status LED's. This LED should be completely off when there are
no active network communications. It should flash crisply when
network communications are active to any control panel on the
network. It should never faintly flicker or glow. It has no intelligence
and will light when there are any transmissions on the network - noise,
polarity problems, etc. - as well as with valid network transmissions. If
you see the network LED on constantly, be suspicious of a reverse
polarity problem. If the LED flickers you may have an intermittent
short or a problem with one of the transmitters.
Network Addressing
With the exception of the ControlKeeper T panel, network addresses of networked
devices and panels are set through a binary address dip switch. The ControlKeeper
Ts panel address is set through the touch screen display.
Switch positions are labeled 1 through 8 and valued at 1 through 128. The ID# is
calculated by adding the values of each position that is ON. Addresses 1 through
254 are valid addresses. Address 255 is reserved for system use. Zero is not a valid
system address. For example, in the switch setting shown below, positions 1 and 3
are ON. Position 1 has a value of 1, position 3 has a value of 4. The calculated ID
number is 5 (1 +4).
Switch Position
Switch 1 = Value 1
Switch 2 = Value 2
Switch 3 = Value 4
Switch 4 = Value 8
Switch 5 = Value 16
Switch 6 = Value 32
Switch 7 = Value 64
Switch 8 = Value 128

Using Pilot Lit Contact Input Switches (CK-T & CK-4A only)
The ControlKeeper-T and ControlKeeper-4A support the use of pilot lit switches.
ControlKeeper-4 and ControlKeeper-2 do not have a pilot lit option. Unlike the
LiteKeeper panels, no extra hardware (lighted switch card) is necessary. The lighted
switch points are on the logic board instead.
It is possible to run either Incandescent or LED style pilot lit switches from a
ControlKeeper-T or ControlKeeper-4A. Cooper Controls does not support switches
obtained from other sources unless a sample is sent to us for testing first in order to
make certain that the switch is in the proper voltage range, current draw, and has the
correct resistors installed for proper operation.
Please note that these figures may decrease if motion sensors, photosensors or digital
switches are being used with the controller. Please contact Technical Support with
the numbers and types of inputs you are using to determine if the controller will be
able to support them without overloading the power supply.
It is possible to program the switch bulb or LED to operate as a pilot light or as a
locator light. With the pilot light function, when the associated load is ON, the
switch will be illuminated. With the locator light function, the switch will be dimly
illuminated at all times going full bright when the associated load is ON.
To wire a lighted switch:
1.
Verify that there is no continuity between the pilot light wire and
the ON, OFF and +24V legs. If a short is detected, do not wire to
the Lighted Switch Output as damage will result.
2.
Make certain that power is off to the logic board. Place override
switch in ALL ON position if lighting is necessary during wiring.
3.
4.
Connect the pilot light wire to the same switch channels LSO
terminal. (DO NOT CONNECT PILOT LIGHT WIRE TO MORE
THAN ONE LSO CHANNEL. DAMAGE TO THE PANEL OR
SWITCH MAY OCCUR.)
5.
Once all wiring and jumper placement has been completed, power
up the logic panel. If panel has been overridden with the Standard
Override Card Switch while being wired, return switch to AUTO
or middle position to allow normal lighting to resume after making
certain that all necessary relays are on via the relay status LEDs.

will need to use the units assigned IP Address.
Diagnostic LEDs
There are three LEDs located on the top of the EIM unit. They can be useful in
diagnosing proper operation as well as troubleshooting if necessary. The EIM will
indicate a valid connection to the Ethernet in the following ways:
The Ethernet LED maintains a solid green color when connected to a
100 Mbps Ethernet network.
The Ethernet LED maintains a solid orange color when connected to a
10 Mbps Ethernet network.
The Ethernet LED will flash when Ethernet packets are being
transmitted or received
Reset Button
There is an onboard reset button located between the power connection and Ethernet
connection on the EIM. Press the Reset button continuously for 5 sec to load factory
defaults: Use a pointed object, such as a straightened paper clip or toothpick, to press

DMXGateway
The DMX Gateway is used to translate DMX codes from a dimming system into up
to 64 remote TIM codes to control Cooper Controls lighting ON and OFF. The
address switch on the DMX Gateway allows you to set the base DMX number that
the Gateway should listen for. It will then send out the corresponding TIM
command for that base address. For instance, if the base address is set to 30, when
DMX channel 30 is issued, TIM30 will be sent across the network wire. The next 63
DMX commands after the base address will be assigned their TIM codes
respectively. Multiple DMX Gateways may be attached to the lighting network to
allow for accommodation of all 512 DMX channel addresses.
The DMX Gateway sees an ON command when a dimming panels slide switch is
above 170 (66%) and an Off when the switch is below 85 (33%), based upon a scale
of 0 to 255.
Verify that the gateway has its address wheel set for the starting
DMX512 address.
If at the end of the network, make certain that the PCI network
termination jumper is in place. (Will need to take the back plate
off and slide motherboard out to access this jumper. Factory
configured to be un-terminated).

The Automation Interface Module is a product that allows interface of the following
protocols with the Cooper Controls Network:
BACnet over IP
LON
Modbus RTU
Modbus ASCII
N2
Automated Logic
The unit supports sending remote commands, individual relay commands as well as
relay and switch and analog status commands. With a CK4A unit, it is also possible
to view dimmer levels. A total of 1200 points (if you are sending a command and
viewing the status, the command is considered a point and the status is another point)
may be mapped within the AIM for control with the exception of the N2 version
which supports up to 255 command points and 255 status points. It is possible to
increase the number of points available by adding additional AIM units. Each job
site will be asked to provide information specific to the relays they need to control
and the protocol they will be using so that we may custom configure the unit with the
proper mapping tables for their needs.
The unit is packaged in an enclosure with a Gateway motherboard for its access to
the Cooper Controls Lighting System. A wall wart plug in connection to 120VAC
outlet is its source of power.
Verify that there is power to the AIM and that the power switch is
ON.
After about 1 minute powered, verify that the archive valid LED
illuminates and the Module Status LEDs follow a chase pattern
around the outside of the status display. In a networked system,
you should see some intermittent network traffic on the network
LED.
Have the system integrator verify that they can issue commands to
the defined points per the mapping table provided.

Chapter 10 Touchscreen
Programming
Overview
The ControlKeeper-T can be fully programmed through the touch screen, even for
network functions such as broadcasting remote commands! The only function that
the software is necessary for is to allow feedback for a digital switch or pilot lit
switch from a relay in a panel other than the panel that the switch is landed in.
The purpose of this section is to familiarize you with the process of programming a
ControlKeeper using the touch screen. This brief tutorial and should leave you
comfortable enough to program a basic job site.
Main Screen
Shows current status of all relays, control panel name, address, time & date &
holiday mode.
Shows if RSC Override has been used.
Displays physical relays in bold and other relays that are not present as grayed out.
Touch anywhere to enter the system.
2.
Plug in the power wire (white plastic connector with six wires
attached) into the Relay Stack Controller Card (RSC). The
controller display should power up and display the MAIN
SCREEN.
3.
Once power is applied, make certain that the status LED is flashing
in the upper left corner of the logic board and that the Main Screen
shows the relays that are installed in your enclosure are active (not
shadow boxes). If the status LED is not flashing or if the display
does not show all active relays, power down the logic board and
check all connections. If problem persists, contact technical
support.
1.
2.
3.
Within one minute, touch all 4 corners of the display screen, one
corner after the other, being sure not to touch anywhere else on the
screen. If more than a minute goes by without all four corners
being touched, or if you touch anything other than the four corners,
you will leave the memory clear function without having cleared
the memory.
4.
After you have touched the four corners within the one minute
time period, a warning message will appear, asking if you really
want to clear the panel. Press YES to clear the panel back to
factory defaults.
5.
Be sure that, if your panel is in a network, the Network Termination Jumpers are in
the correct positions. Remove the network termination jumpers from all but the first
and last ControlKeepers on the network.

area that does not implement daylight savings, you will need to
disable this option by touching the choice button to remove Daylight
Savings Option. The button will then read OFF and appear to be
pressed down. Touch the box again to re-instate the option.
The review area of this screen will show you the clock and date in the
controller based on the entries in the screen.
current date, the control panel can accurately determine your sunup and sundown
times.
Due to local topology you may need to add or subtract time from the calculated
sunup or sundown values. The control panel gives you the option to offset the
calculated sunup and sundown times. Offsets may be added at the Astro Clock tab to
affect the entire panel. Individual offsets may be added later on the time schedule to
allow for schedules to occur at slightly different offset times.

When you set the switch address in the Advanced Setup page, the letters A through F
are entered as follows: A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14, F=15.
If your Digita 5 model switch contains more than one button, each button is
programmed in as a separate switch. All buttons on the same physical switch station
will have the same base address.
Depending on the ordered configuration of your model Digita 5, it may contain
anywhere from one to five buttons. When programming the button, it is important to
note the physical location of the button as this is the number that must be
programmed in. Please refer to the graphic below to identify the button numbers that
should be used for your switch configuration.

Each Digita 5 Button has an internal LED. A feedback must be set up to allow the
LED to illuminate and for the switch to operate properly. The next switch command
is determined from the LED state on the switch. If the LED is ON, it will issue an
OFF command and vice versa. If a feedback is not programmed, the switch will only
be able to issue the command opposite its current LED state.
You can choose from two sources for the status feedback for this switch input: Self
Feedback and Feedback from a Relay.
Self Feedback
When you choose Self Feedback, the indicator light will track with the last command
issued from the switch. The LED will be lit if the switch has issued an ON command
and it will be OFF when the switch has issued an OFF command. It toggles state
with each button press. (This method does not take into account that some other
input such as another switch or a time schedule may have turned ON or OFF lights.
For instance, if the switch is turned ON, the LED will light. If a time schedule turns
off the relays that the switch runs, the LED in the switch will continue to be ON until
that switch issues an OFF command.)
Feedback Relay
Alternatively, you can choose to have the button indicator show the status of one of
the relays controlled by the button. When you choose this option, the indicator light
will be ON when the relay is on and OFF when the relay is off. With this method, if
another switch or time schedule turns the feedback relay off or on, the switch will
reflect the proper status.

Commands
The control panel allows you modify the way a sensor works by
changing the command that is issued when the sensor reading calls
for an On and also for when the reading calls for an Off. Your
choices are ON, OFF, and NO COMMAND. The CK T defaults to
issuing an ON command for the ON and an OFF command for the
OFF. The NO COMMAND selection is most often used with
priorities. A NO COMMAND command at the NONE level of
priority can be used to release a higher priority command from this
analog without actually changing the relays state.
Touch the DOT at the right of the ON & OFF Command choice box.
Each time you touch the dot you will toggle through the list of
possible commands. Stop the toggle when the command you want

Logs
Logs are a great tool for troubleshooting your lighting system. You
have three options for logging an analog: logging the Reading, the
change of State, or leaving it at the None option.
If you choose to log the Reading, the ControlKeeper records the time,
date, and analog reading with every 5% change in value that it senses.
This information can be extremely useful when you set up thresholds,
although it is very memory intensive.
If you choose to log the State, the ControlKeeper records the reading,
time and date whenever the analog value passes through its assigned
threshold. It also logs the command it issued.
If you leave the choice at None, the analog input will not log.
To choose to log the analog actuations, touch the DOT at the right of
the Log choice box. Each time you touch the dot you will toggle
through the list of log types. Stop the toggle when the type that you
want shows on the Log textbox.

Channel
Description
The Channel field tells the ControlKeeper which of the four hardware
input channels on the circuit board should be read for this particular
analog input. Any analog channel can be used to provide
information to drive any of the thirty two possible software analog
inputs in the ControlKeeper programming software. This allows you
to set up multiple threshold points for a single analog input.
To enter the Channel Number, touch the dot to the right of the
channel field. Each time you touch the dot you will toggle through
the analog channels that are available to you. Stop when you see the
channel that you want
Thresholds
The Upper and Lower Threshold fields allow you to set the analog
values at which the ControlKeeper should send ON and OFF
commands. The sensor readings that occur between these two values
provide a deadband. The Lower Threshold is the reading below
which the analog input normally issues an ON command. The Upper
Threshold is the reading above which the analog input normally
issues an OFF command.
Endpoints
The Lower Endpoint is the lowest value that can be read from this
sensor. The Upper Endpoint is the highest value that can be read by
this sensor. When Lower and Upper Endpoint values are set, the
analog automatically scales the readings returned evenly between this
range of values.
PC-I: 0-100fc, PC-O: 0-250FC, PC-A: 2-1000FC, PC-S: 10-2000FC
It may be desirable to set the photosensors to a larger range, for
instance 0-1000FC for the PC-I to allow for greater definition and
closer thresholds.

There are additional sources of remote commands such as the use of VisionTouch
software. It is recommended that these commands be programmed in the Keeper
Enterprise Software, not through the touch screen display, as the VisionTouch
Software may be dependent on seeing these remote commands in the Keeper
Enterprise Database for proper operation.
With a remote command, it is the input Name and Command State that are
broadcast from the initiating device onto the network. Any panel with a remote
command that has that exact name will respond to the command as programmed.
There are two basic steps to setting up the programming for a remote command. The
first is to set up the remote with its settings and parameters. The second is to link the
remote to the relays it needs to control.

Deleting Programming
It is possible to delete time schedules and holiday dates. Deleting a time schedule
will also delete all associated relay links.
At some point, you may wish to turn on or off relays from the ControlKeeper T
panel without using a time schedule, switch, analog or remote command.
The ControlKeeper T allows you to override relays on or off by using either
Hardware Overrides or Touch Screen Overrides. These methods are discussed in
detail below.
The manual override of the relay will stay in effect until the next command is
received from the ControlKeeper T, RSC override switch, or another relay override.
For this reason it is a temporary override only.
The manual relay override switches can be used to turn on or off lighting regardless
of whether the CK T is installed in the enclosure. However, if the RSC has been
used to override the lighting ALL ON or ALL OFF, the manual relay override
switches will not be operable until the RSC is placed in the AUTO position.
If the manual relay override switch has been used to override the relay, the relay
status screen will be updated to show that the relay is on or off by a cause type of
RELAY SW.
Can view at a glance or view more in depth information under the relay STATUS
button.

Creating a Network
The software allows you to set up a network in your site map only if you have
purchased the Network version of the Enterprise Software. If you have the nonnetwork version of the Keeper Enterprise Software, please skip to the section on
Creating Panels.
ControlKeeper control panels can be wired into a network cable that allows you to
communicate from the Keeper Enterprise software on your computer to all the panels
in the site through a single connecting device. If the control panels on your site have
been installed this way, you must create a Network directory in the Keeper
Enterprise software to mirror the actual network for computer-to-control panel
communications to work properly. We will begin the programming process by
creating the control panel network.
To create a new Network in the Site:

Creating Holidays
Sometimes exceptions need to be made to time schedules you have defined, such as
during a Holiday. When you define Holiday Dates, you can adjust your lighting
schedules to the decreased building occupancy during a Holiday. Holidays will
require you to enter the month and date of the holiday. No year is required. The
system assumes that these dates will re-occur each year. If this is a one-time event or
a floating holiday that may not occur on the same date the next year, it will be
necessary to update the holiday programming on a yearly basis.
Holidays may be defined at the Site Level, Building Level or Panel Level. For the
purpose of this quick start guide, we will define the Holidays at the Site Level.
Holidays defined at the Site Level are copied automatically to all control panels.

4.
Condition
Direction
There is a secondary set of wires coming out of the transformer (red) which also are
connected to the RSC. These wires are simply docked in this location and do not
perform any power function to the RSC or logic board. All voltages for the panel
and RSC are derived off of the red and blue wires connected to the Molex connector.
If the voltages are correct, please troubleshoot further or contact technical support. If
voltages are incorrect, check primary voltages.
Primary Voltages
There are neutral taps for two primary voltages: white/orange for 277 VAC or
white/black for 120 VAC. For the 347 volt version of the transformer, the brown
wire is the 347 Volt neutral tap. The solid black wire is the line voltage wire. If a
power problem is suspected, it is recommended that the incoming voltage be
checked.
Condition
Direction
No Output on 24VDC
Brownout Notes:
In the Cooper Controls system, a brownout to the transformer circuit is defined as an
event that causes our on board DC supply to reach 7VDC or less. In this situation,
our logic board goes into "powerhit" mode in which it will shut down in order to
prevent damage to the software and RAM chips on the circuit board. This could
cause the lighting to be interrupted briefly as the relays may open then close once
power is restored to the normal DC voltage range. This would be an event that
would affect all relays on the panel in this same manner.
Events that could cause this type of could be:
A loose neutral on the transformer circuit can also cause the panel to go
into occasional powerhit mode.
If powerhits are occurring and causing lighting disruptions, it is possible to place the
transformer circuit onto a constant voltage transformer. (for ControlKeeper 32, 16,
& 4A enclosures, Cooper Controls would recommend the model Sola 23-13-060-2
60VA 120V in/ 120V out. For the ControlKeeper 48 size enclosures, Cooper
Controls would recommend the model Sola 23-22-112-2 120VA 120 or 240V in/
120V out. For the ControlKeeper-4 and ControlKeeper-2 Cooper Controls would
recommend the model Sola 23-13-030-2 30VA 120V in/ 120V out ) Although
not preferred, a UPS may also be used.
RSC Troubleshooting
The Relay Stack Controller has undergone a change as of 3/5/2007 to allow for
increased functionality. If you have an RSC with a part number 54-022160-04 or 54-
022161-01 or higher revision, these RSCs will have the increased functionality
mentioned under the status LED function.
The Relay Stack Controller should have the power LED on at all times
when powered. Please check transformer voltages as indicated above if
the power LED is not lit. Swap out the RSC if the correct voltages are
present.
The Relay Stack Controller (RSC) has two override indicator LEDs.
The green LED comes on when the rocker switch overrides the relays
ON. The red LED comes on when the rocker switch overrides the
relays OFF. If the indicator LEDs do not come on check the power to
the RSC. If the correct voltages are present as indicated in the power
section above, swap out the RSC.
If the indicator LEDs do come on but the relays do not respond to the
override switch: Check that the status LED is flashing and flashes more
rapidly for a second when the ALL ON or ALL OFF switch is used. If
it does not, swap the RSC. Check that the relay card Status LEDs flash
when the RSC Switch is used and resume normal flash afterwards. If
they do not, check the connection from the RSC to the relay cards in
the high voltage compartment and the relay cards to the center rail to
make certain that all connections are properly seated. If the status
indicators are all receiving the signal, and you can hear the relays click,
verify the voltage to the lighting loads. If the relays are still not pulling
in, please contact technical support for further instruction.
DO NOT CHECK VOLTAGE ON PINS IN THE BACK OF THE
ENCLOSURE ON A SERIAL RELAY CONNECTION. YOU
WILL CAUSE LOW VOLTAGE COMPONENTS TO SHORT
RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE COMPONENTS AND OR
LIGHTING CONTROLLER.
If the indicator LED indicates that the panel is overridden ALL OFF or
ALL ON but the RSC switch is in the AUTO position, do a visual
check to see if there are any wires coming into the bottom of the RSC
other than the transformer leads. If there are wires coming into a
terminal block on the bottom of the RSC, these may go into a relay
interface module device or switch that has been triggered. Double
check the status of this device or remove the terminal block to verify
that the panel goes to the proper mode of operation. If no device is
wired, the override card has been damaged. Replace the override card.
Do they work with the RSC override but not with the control panel
switches?
Troubleshooting steps:
Go to the control panel that has the relay or relays controlling the affected lighting.
1.
Check the relay status LEDs against what the lighting load is doing. If
the relay status LED reflects what the lighting load is doing, i.e. the
lights are off and the LED is off, more than likely there is a
programming issue that is at fault. Manually command the relay
through the touchscreen or onboard override to verify that it operates
properly and if so, double-check the programming. Double-check the
programming. If the relay status LED does not match the status of the
load, i.e. relay status LED is on and the lights are off, check that the
relay has not been manually overridden using the RSC or hardware
override switch if a sLRC..
2.
Check the relay card status LED. As of 3/5/07 a change has been made
to the relay card LED status. Normal operation for all vintages of cards
before has been that this LED should be blinking slowly unless
communications are occurring to it. As of 3/5/07 the LED will now
blink rapidly if the card can not communicate to the RSC. If you see a
card LED blinking rapidly without stop, this is likely the cause. Relay
card replacement is recommended.
3.
Check the indicator LEDs on the control panel itself to make sure the
board is functioning. The STATUS LED should be blinking. The
POWER LED should be on. The NETWORK LED should be off
unless communications are going across the network wire. If incorrect,
check to make sure that the control panel is getting the proper power
through the transformer. Refer to transformer troubleshooting section
for assistance.
4.
Try overriding the individual relay ON and OFF using the individual
relay override switch. If this does not work, verify that the status LEDs
are flashing on the relay cards and that the power and status LEDs are
If the individual relay overrides work, then try to override using the
RSC. Verify that the load responds. If the load responds to the
individual relay override but not to the RSC, replace the RSC card.
6.
If the above steps check out OK, making sure that the RSC is in
AUTO, override the relay through the touch screen ON and OFF
command. You should hear the relay click open and closed and you
should see the relay LED light next to the relay on the relay cards. If
you are qualified,, you can use a voltmeter to be sure that the relay is
actually opening and closing. It is not recommended that you reference
conduit ground in this situation but actually take a voltage
measurement across the contacts of the relay. With the relay open, you
should read 120 or 277. With the relay closed, you should read close to
0 volts AC. Rarely, the relay is not actuating even though you may
hear a clicking sound. In this situation, the clicking sound may not be
as loud as other relays in the cabinet.
7.
If no click is heard and the LED next to the commanded relay does not
indicate a change of state, verify that the communications cable is
properly connected to the Relay Stack Controller. If this is connected,
contact technical support for further troubleshooting details.
If the manual command does work from the touch screen, double check
programming to verify the load is correctly programmed.
Troubleshooting Specifics:
1.
Sometimes a relay will stick slightly, causing lighting loads to not turn
off. This may happen on a rare basis when relays are new due to
manufacturing oils on the contacts of the relays or may happen as
relays age due to pitting on the contacts. Sometimes it is possible to
give the relay casing a slight tap to free the contacts and then actuate
the relay a few times to fix the problem. If a relay continues to exhibit
the sticking behavior, replace the relay card.
2.
3.
The snubber device can also fake out a meter. If readings with a
meter are being referenced to earth ground from the line and load side
of the relay, a very lighting loaded circuit may still register some or all
of the full supplied voltage from the load side to ground when the relay
is open. Please note that this reading is voltage NOT CURRENT. The
more heavily loaded the circuit, the less likely this will occur. As a
precaution, always, Cooper Controls recommends following
recommended NEC circuit lock out practices when work is being done
on a circuit under relay control.
4.
Reset
Sometimes all it takes to get the control panel working again is a simple reset. The
reset gives the control panel a jump start and may quickly restore a panel to
functionality. Please contact technical support if you encounter a panel that needs to
be reset consistently.
Memory Clear
Always with a new installation being commissioned, one of the first steps that should
be done is a memory clear. This ensures that you are working from a clean slate. In
addition, it is sometimes used as a troubleshooting tool if the simple reset does not
bring a control panel back to operation, you can try clearing the control panel
memory. When you clear the memory the lights will go out unless you use the
override switch on the RSC of the CKT or the slide switch on the CK2 or CK4. Once
memory has been cleared, verify basic functionality you will need to reprogram the
control panel using the on-board keypad or the computer software.
ControlKeeper-T
1.
Reset the panel, using the Reset Button. Wait for the status LED to start
blinking again.
2.
Within one minute, touch all 4 corners of the display screen, one corner
after the other, being sure not to touch anywhere else on the screen. If
more than a minute goes by without all four corners being touched, or
if you touch anything other than the four corners, you will leave the
memory clear function.
3.
After you have touched the four corners within the one minute time
period, a warning message asking if you really want to clear the panel
will appear. Press YES if you want to clear the panel memory; press
NO if you do not want to clear the memory.
4.
Make sure that the display shows that it is reloading the panel.
ControlKeeper-2/ControlKeeper-4
Press and hold down the reset button for approximately 25 seconds until the Status
LED flickers. Release the reset button. Memory has been cleared.
ControlKeeper-4A
Rock your finger across the first and second reset buttons on the core from left to
right.
Power Cycle
If a reset and cold start do not work, you can make one more attempt at getting the
logic board to function by cycling power to the control panel. This is easily done
with the CK-T without interrupting the building lighting. You need to put the
Standard Override Card rocker switch in the ON position to maintain the lights and
then disconnect the power connection between the RSC and the control panel.
Simply disconnect, then reconnect the white plastic connector. The control panel
then goes through a power recovery reset and may begin working again. The relay
status indicators will show you what will happen to the lighting in the building when
you put the RSC switch into the AUTO position. Programming will not be lost with
this power cycle.
In a CK2 and CK4, cycling power will interrupt lighting. The easiest method of
achieving this is to power down the transformer control circuit. Programming will
not be lost with a power cycle.
If the logic board fails to respond to any of the above measures, please contact
technical support to obtain a replacement unit.
Verify that the panel has not been overridden all on or all off.
2.
Remove the switch wiring from the panel and try jumpering the switch
channel using a piece of wire.
The problem is in the switch or wiring to the switch. Check the switch
wiring visually for mis-wires and crosses.
2.
Disconnect switch from the end of wire and jumper with the switch
wiring. If this works, the switch needs replacement. If this does not
work:
3.
Disconnect both ends of the wire from both switch and panel. Verify
that conductors are not touching and perform a test with an ohm meter
to verify that there are no shorts between wires. If an open line reading
results, wire nut the wires together at one end. Verify at the other end
that you have continuity through the wires.
4.
Verify that the switch PIC chip has a label identifying it at a V2.3 or
higher level. (CK-T only)
2.
Double-check and make certain that the local/remote jumpers are in the
local position. These enable the +24VDC supply to the switch inputs.
(CK-T only)
3.
With switch wiring off the board, double check that there is 24VDC on
the peripheral power connector between the +24VDC and DC Ground
Terminal.
4.
5.
If the jumper at the panel does not work and you have verified that
24VDC is present, double check the programming. The easiest way to
confirm a programming issue clear the board back to factory defaults
and verify functionality of the switch channels.
6.
Verify that the switch has been properly set up for pilot light functions
2.
3.
Using a jumper wire, touch the LSO terminal pin to the Lighted Switch
Driver Test Point located in the middle of the switch wiring channels.
4.
Turn the feedback relay ON and OFF that has been associated with the
switch, the LSO Test 1 LED should also turn on and off. If the LED
fails to light, first verify that the programming is correct for the
feedback relay. If the programming is correct, the channel may not be
operating properly. Please contact technical support for further
assistance.
Verify that the switch has been properly set up for pilot light functions
2.
3.
Through programming, set the LSO output to RELAY type and set up a
relay to feedback.
4.
From the touch screen, turn ON the relay that is associated with the
switch.
5.
6.
7.
Another switch that is shorting to the pilot light wire and 24V,
verify each wire to the pilot light wire to verify that there is an
open line between conductors.
A switch that internally shorts the +24V to the pilot when the
switch is pressed. Double check that the switch maintains an open
line reading between the on and off wires and the pilot light wires
when the button is pressed.
If no short is found, please place one switch at a time on the logic board to verify that
the problem does not reassert itself. It is also recommended that each switch be
toggled on and off during this process as it may be an internal switch short that
causes this issue.
Once the issue is resolved, remember to reset your pilot switch programming back to
the proper type, LED or Incandescent.
These figures may be affected by Motion sensor or photosensor usage on the same
logic panel.
Verify that the sensor is getting 24VDC across the red and black
wires if powered from a logic panel. If no 24VDC is present,
double check that the switch input channels at the panel have
For motion sensors that have an option for manual control from an
onboard or directly wired wall switch, verify that the sensor is not
set in Manual mode.
Verify that the read out on the display shows that the photosensor
is OFF. If the photosensor is stating it is ON, check for a wiring or
panel issue.
Verify that the sensor is getting 24VDC across the red and black
wires if powered from a logic panel. If no 24VDC is present,
double check that the switch input channels at the panel have
24VDC present. If it does, and jumpering at the panel works,
recheck all wiring and connections for a break.
Manually override the sensor OFF from the LED display. If this
does not operate, disconnect ON leg of sensor from the logic panel.
If lighting remains on, check for a programming issue. Check that
the switch type is set for the correct switch type, for priorities,
timers, or masks.
Verify that the sensor is getting 24VDC across the red and black

Getting the photosensor to the correct setting may take some tweaking.
If lighting appears to be cycling, increase the distance between your
lower and upper thresholds or add some max and min timers to the
analog switching.
It is recommended that you have a light meter for use with analog sites to verify light
readings at the work surface are within acceptable norms. This becomes even more
critical for ControlKeeper-4A sites.
If programming issues are suspected as the root of the problem, review the
programming in the panel to verify that things are what they should be.
However, there are a few tips and tricks that are handy to know when
troubleshooting programming.
If a relay is not turning on or off by an input and the relay is linked to that
input, perform a view relay status command. This will tell you what
command is currently in effect and what priority level it may have. In
addition, it will tell you if there are any timers counting down. If a priority
is shown on the screen, or a timer is counting down, this may be why the
input is not operational.
If contact input switches are not working but there are no priorities
assigned, make certain first that the local remote jumpers are correct. If so,
double check that there are no masks assigned and that the switches are set
up for a type and a channel number to read from.
If relays are responding at odd times, review the logs and see what the log
data says is happening with the relay. This can be invaluable in finding the
cause of the problem
Network Troubleshooting
Cooper Controls asks installing contractors for a map of the network wiring before
arriving on site. It is easiest in commissioning to follow the way the network wiring
is run in order to commission the panels. This way, it is easy to find where a
problem starts when you are checking network communications with each successive
panel brought online. If you run into problems after the fact, the below steps can be
followed. When dealing with a large network, the tried and true divide and
conquer method may be used in which you continue to break the network in half
until you have isolated the issue to a small segment.
2.
If the replacement panel also fails, with the computer plugged into this
panel directly, try issuing a command to another panel on the network.
If the network LED flashes, see the section on no communications
beyond a point for further instruction.
3.
If the network LED does not flash, disconnect the network wiring from
the board and try the same command, if the LED flashes, check for
voltage on the network wire.
4.
If the LED does not flash and this is a CK-T panel, verify secondary
voltages from the RSC are correct. The board has a separate 5V supply
which may not be outputting the correct voltage to the panel.
2.
3.
Test for transmitter or receiver failure: You can use a portable PC with
the software to check the transmitter on any control panel on the
network. Take the PC to the control panel in question, plug into the
serial port on the control panel, and use the COMS function to access
another control panel on the network. If the transmitter is working you
should see the green Network LED flash on the control panel you are

All measurements should read open line (O.L) or greater than 1 MEG on all

performing this test again with each segment until the faulty segment or segments
is/are located. Ideally, the entire network should be tested at every junction box and
connection point for these tests as Earth Ground reference may be slightly different
at different locations.
VisionSwitch
The VisionSwitch software works with Cooper Controls Greengate panels. Users
can define button displays that will send commands to the Greengate products.
These buttons act as virtual wall switches, allowing the user to turn on or off lighting
as needed.
With the implementation of the VisionSwitch Software, ON/OFF control strategies
are made readily accessible to office personnel without requiring detailed system
knowledge.
Through the button displays of VisionSwitch, the user can issue remote commands
onto the Greengate panel network. The Greengate systems lighting control
administrator must set up these remote commands to control the proper load groups.
These functions, combined with the power and flexibility of Greengate products,
provide a powerful tool for facility management.
The computer requirements of VisionSwitch are:
512 MB RAM
CD ROM
The software will require a TCP/IP connection through an Ethernet Interface Module
(EIM) to one lighting control panel in the Greengate controller network.
Commissioning Expectations
As the commissioning agent, if VisionSwitch has been purchased, you will be
responsible for installing VisionSwitch on all desired computers and setting up the
initial configuration screens that are desired.

VisionTouch Software
General Information
VisionTouch Software was designed to work with your Lighting Control System,
allowing control of lighting loads from a virtual display of your site. VisionTouch
uses data files defined in the Enterprise Software to create this graphic interface
from which you can issue commands and monitor the lighting at the site.
When you install the VisionTouch Software at your facility, ON/OFF control
strategies are readily accessible to operational personnel without requiring that they
have detailed lighting control system knowledge. The user can issue Remote
Commands and Manual Commands onto the Lighting Control Network, and display
real-time status of control points, providing a powerful tool for facility management.
CD ROM Drive
The VisionTouch program requires access to the Enterprise Software data files.
This can be done either by being directly installed on the same computer as the
Enterprise software, or being able to access the database file through an Ethernet
connection with a shared network drive.
In addition to database access, the computer must have Microsoft .NET framework
installed on the computer. A copy of Microsoft .NET Framework installation is
included on the installation CD if needed. Most current operating systems already
have the .NET Framework installed. If the installation is started without the .NET
Framework installed, the installation program will alert you that it will be necessary
to install the framework prior to continuing.
The VisionTouch Software may be installed on computers with Windows 2000 and
Windows XP. Please be sure that your computer has had the latest service packs
installed for your operating system before you install the Software. If the service
packs are not up to date, the software installation may fail.
Windows 2000 and Windows XP users must have administrator access
on the local machine in order for the software to work properly. If your
IT department has questions regarding these settings, please have them contact
Technical Support.
Commissioning Expectations
As the commissioning agent of a VisionTouch job, it will be your job to design and
implement the graphics screen for the VisionTouch, install the software on the end
user PC, and train the user in the use of the system.
VisionTouch Installation
To begin the installation process, simply place the CD into your CD ROM drive.
Installation will start automatically. If the installation does not start immediately, use
Windows Explorer to find the VisionTouch IV Setup.msi file on the CD and
double click on the file name to activate it.
Follow the installation wizard through the installation process. If the .NET
Framework is not installed on your computer, the software will bring up a window
asking you to install this prior to installing the VisionTouch software. You may use
the provided copy of the .NET Framework on the VisionTouch CD or may download
the .NET Framework from the Microsoft web site.
It is recommended that the Program Directory not be changed from the default of
C:\Program Files\VisionTouchIV and that you leave the Program Group as

Running VisionTouch
In order to command lighting on and off, VisionTouch must be put into Run Mode.
Run Mode is VisionTouchs real time command and status mode.
To enter Run Mode, go to the File menu and choose Run Mode. Note: If
VisionTouch was last in Run Mode when the software was closed, it will revert to
Run Mode upon the next time the software is opened.
Control Buttons are Icons that have been placed on the Session Screen and
associated with Remotes and Relays. These buttons are used to send remote
commands, command individual relays, and monitor lighting load status.
Meter
For more information about the individual points, you can access the Status and
Command Menu.
Status
If you click on Status, the following screen will appear, showing the status of each of
the associated relays.
You can send a Manual Command to an individual relay from this window. If you
click on the relay row, a manual command window will appear. Choose the ON or

It is always recommended that the integrity check be run to allow the most up to date
information to be displayed in the VisionTouch software. If the integrity check is
not run, status bars may not indicate the correct status or incorrect relays for
controlled loads if there have been changes to linked relays in Enterprise.
The length of time that the integrity check takes depends on the size of the Enterprise
Software database and the number of sessions and screens. For smaller systems, the
check may take mere seconds. Larger systems may take slightly longer to process.
If your screen displays these red shadows, it is usually the result of a change to the
remote that is issued by that icon. This could be a result of the remote name
changing in the Keeper Enterprise Software or the remote being deleted from the
Keeper Enterprise database.
To review the cause of the conflict:
1.
2.
Select Properties.
3.
In the properties window for the icon, the screen will display the controlled
relays and remotes. Review the items for an item or items in red text.
4.
The items in red text are the items that are in conflict. Review the remotes
palette to see if the remote name has changed. If so, you can drag the new
remote name to the affected icon and delete the old one to end the conflict. If
the remote no longer exists, simply delete the entry from the icon. Once the
conflicting item has been rectified, the icon will no longer have the red shadow,
indicating that the item has been resolved.
Event Manager
The Event Manager software is an accessory to control network panels. Events can
be scheduled to run by adding them in the Calendar View graphic screen. This
software package is an ease of use, facilities management tool that is ideal for
stadiums, arenas, convention centers and schools.
The Event Manager software provides calendar view scheduling for sites that host a
variety of events with constantly changing lighting needs. This enables system users
to define a type of event and its specific lighting control needs and automatically
provide the desired lighting levels based on the start time of the event, end time or
under manual control. The Event Manager softwares Client/Server application setup
allows for multi-user access
Due to the complexity of the initial setup process, at this time, only Cooper Controls
commissioning personnel may commission an Event Manager system at this time.
Chapter 14 Commissioning
Documentation
General Expectations
As a commissioning representative of Cooper Controls, there are certain expectations
to meet. This includes adequately preparing, performing, and documenting your
commissionings.
Cooper Controls allows agents to purchase REP STARTUP as part of the lighting
control bill of material. This allows the customer to provide a single Purchase Order
for the entire bill of material.
IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE COMMISSIONING DOLLARS FROM COOPER CONTROLS,
THE COMMISSIONING AGENT IS EXPECTED TO PROVIDE A COMPLETED KEEPER
ENTERPRISE PROGRAMMING DATABASE AND TRIP REPORT TO THE FIELD SERVICE
DEPARTMENT. PLEASE REFERENCE THE ORIGINAL ORDER # OR PO# SO THAT WE
CAN MATCH THIS TO THE APPROPRIATE JOB. UPON REVIEW OF THESE MATERIALS,
THE FIELD SERVICE DEPARTMENT WILL RELEASE ACCOUNTS PAYABLE TO PAY
OUT THE COMMISSIONING DOLLARS.
In this section, you will find examples of paperwork that Cooper Controls Field
Service department uses to gather information, commission sites, and document the
commissioning upon return to the office. We hope that this will be useful as you
begin performing the commissioning role.
Startup Documentation
Cooper Controls requires 21 days notice for commissioning to occur. Before startup can
be scheduled, Cooper requires filing of paperwork to ensure the site is ready for startup to
occur. During startup, Cooper keeps record of steps taken per panel to set up and
troubleshoot if necessary. After startup, the commissioning technician files a trip report
and other paperwork with the installation contractor and for future reference in the sites
startup file. Following are some examples of this paperwork.
During Startup
A startup checklist can be handy when first starting out. It ensures that no step is
missed at any point during a panel checkout and provides a document that can be
referenced on file at a later time should it become necessary. Please see an outline
below of a startup checklist that may be used for the commissioning process. In
addition, it is recommended that a list of any trainees be kept on file with a
commissioning sign off.
Chapter 15 Appendix A:
Commissioning Expectations
Verify all high voltage wiring looks sound. No loose wires, burn
marks, stray wires are capped.
Verify that high voltage relays that are wired match the
preliminary information provided. If circuits are tagged, verify
circuit information as well.
Verify that when powered, all displays are lit, status LEDs are
flashing as described for devices in this chapter.
If switches are pilot lit, with power down to the lighting controller,
verify that the jumper on the lighted switch card is set for the
correct pilot light type, i.e. LED or Incandescent.
If switches provided are pilot lit, verify that the pilot lights
function in addition to the switch functionality.
Adjust time delay and sensitivity settings for any motion sensors as
necessary.
Analog Photosensors
Network Commissioning
Verify that the two distinct ends of the daisy chain network are
properly terminated with the network jumpers.
Gateway
DMX Gateway
Verify that the gateway has its address wheel set for the starting
DMX512 address.
If at the end of the network, make certain that the PCI network
termination jumper is in place. (Will need to take the back plate
off and slide motherboard out to access this jumper. Factory
configured to be un-terminated).
Verify that there is power to the AIM and that the power switch is
ON.
After about 1 minute powered, verify that the archive valid LED
illuminates and the Module Status LEDs follow a chase pattern
around the outside of the status display. In a networked system,
you should see some intermittent network traffic on the network
LED.
Have the system integrator verify that they can issue commands to
the defined points per the mapping table provided.
