GLPS-HSW-FTGreen Light Express Feed-Through Power Switching Panels w/Zero-Cross Arcless Relays

The GLPS-HSW-FT panels utilize Crestron zero-cross arcless relay technology, achieving a relay lifetime of one million cycles. A high-current triac is employed to handle the high inrush current turn on, especially with certain load types such as HID and electronic ballasts. Within milliseconds, the continuous load is transferred to a robust 50A mechanically-latching relay. All switching occurs at the zero-cross point of the AC waveform under microprocessor control. This is a complete solution, eliminating arcing at the physical relay contacts during turn on and turn off, and supports switching of all types of lighting loads up to 16A at 100V to 277V, as well as motors up to 1 HP.

As an option, GLPS-HSW-FT panels may be equipped with 0- 10V fluorescent dimming control substituted in place of some or all switching circuits. Consult Crestron Sales Support Services to specify this option.

The GLPS-HSW-FT panels employ field-replaceable lighting control modules, with 8 or 12 control circuits per module, for excellent configurability and serviceability. Each module includes local relay controls and load state indicators for each circuit, plus additional controls and indicators for use during system commissioning.

As part of a complete Green Light system, GLPS-HSW-FT panels connect to an IPAC-GL1 lighting control processor (or other 2-Series Control System) via the Cresnet control network. An optional GLA-PWS50 (or equivalent) power supply is also recommended for each panel to provide backup power to the lighting modules.

Remote emergency override mode allows the lighting system program to be overridden while each circuit is set to an override preset state. The override preset for each circuit is set using the local controls on the front of each lighting module. Remote override mode is activated by an external contact closure from a Crestron GLS-PLS-120/277 power loss sensor or other devices

All low-voltage connections to a GLPS-HSW-FT panel are made via a connector block located near the bottom of the panel. Connections are provided for Cresnet communications, backup power supply, and emergency override.

Crestron Green Light Express Power Switching panels are configured to order, and factory assembled and tested prior to shipping. Each panel is engineered to provide a clean and

manageable installation with abundant provisions for wire termination and conduit knockouts. On-site installation is fast and easy with all termination points clearly labeled and accessible from the front.
