nLight ® AIR rPP20
Power/Relay Pack

OVERVIEW

nLight AIR rPP power packs are designed to offer flexible control for commercial and industrial lighting applications. The rPP consists of a relay, 0-10V dimming control, and a low voltage power supply output to power and wireless sensors. The rPP is capable of switching loads up to 20 A via a latching relay designed with robust inrush protection. Select power packs provide +24VDC low voltage output to power up to 4 nLight AIR mounted occupancy sensors and photocells. The nLight AIR rPP is designed for use as part of an nLight AIR group of devices or with the nLight ECLYPSE™.

POWER PACK FEATURES

On/Off and dimming control of a luminaire or group of luminaires
24VDC output to power up to 4 nLight AIR rCMS low voltage sensors or other low voltage devices

UL924 Sequence of Operation:**
When normal power sense leads have absence of voltage
- Relay is closed and 0-10V dimming is at high end trim level
- Device ignores wireless lighting control commands

UL 924 Response – nLight AIR Devices with EM Option
The below information applies to all nLight AIR devices with an EM option.

EM devices will remain at their high-end trim and ignore wireless lighting control commands, unless a normal-power-sensed (NPS) broadcast is received at least every 8 seconds.
Using the CLAIRITY™+ mobile app, EM devices must be associated with a group that includes a normal power sensing device to receive NPS broadcasts.
Only non-emergency rPP20, rLSXR, rSBOR, rSDGR, and nLight AIR luminaires with version 3.4 or later firmware can provide normal power sensing for EM devices. See specification sheets for control devices and luminaires for more information on options that support normal power sensing.
