Crestron electronic GLPS-SW-FT Commercial Lighting Wiring Plan, Equipment List Specification

Specifying a Lighting System Crestron Commercial Lighting Design Guide

Commercial Lighting Wiring Plan

The wiring plan includes all enclosures and the interconnecting wiring. The designer determines the location of the enclosure(s), the route of keypad and touchpanel connections to the enclosure(s), the route of the interconnecting cable from the processor to the other enclosure(s), and the high voltage load routes to the enclosure or dimmer.

Ensure there are enough connectors and power (PAC2 offers 50W) in the main enclosure for all user interfaces. Each enclosure filled with dimmers is connected to the main enclosure and processor using low voltage wire. Dimmer enclosures are distributed as needed.

Equipment List Specification

The equipment list is based on the requirements collected for the lighting system in the load schedule. This is a sequential process. The information gathered in previous steps is required to complete the next. Once all the steps are done, a complete Bill of Material for the system is created.

Module selection – based on the number and type of loads

Automation enclosure selection – based on the number of modules and the available space in the enclosure

User interface selection – based on the user control requirements

Wiring plan – based on the previous steps and the layout of the environment

Control processor – based on the size of the system (large systems should have a dedicated processor)

Network block selection – based on the layout and distribution of the loads and user interfaces

Accessories selection – based on the required accessories (telephone and alarm systems, HVAC control, intercom systems, occupancy sensors, etc.)

Ordering a Crestron Commercial Lighting System

These are the steps for ordering a Crestron commercial lighting control system, regardless of the size.

Each system and module contains the appropriate installation literature and operation guide.

Steps to order a lighting system:

STEP 1: Survey all controlled lights and loads. In hybrid systems determine which loads are under local control and which are to be wired to centralized modules

STEP 2: Determine the number and types of control modules and terminal blocks needed to control lights and loads based on the load schedule and wiring plan

STEP 3: Determine the number and type of automation enclosures required

STEP 4: Determine the number of control processors and related accessories required

STEP 5: Determine the number and types of keypads, wall panels, iLux™ devices, infiNET™ wireless devices, shade/drape controllers, and touchpanels

STEP 6: Determine the wiring accessories, cabling and power supplies required

STEP 7: Place an order for identified Crestron items

Nearly all required documentation, such as load schedules and wiring, equipment lists, engraving files and more can be generated by using the Crestron D3 Pro Lighting and Automation System Software.

Crestron ships all items to the job site for assembly and wiring.

Note: Crestron Green Light Panels are shipped assembled and are to be commissioned by Crestron.
