Network Wiring Notes

The ControlKeeper 4A is designed to communicate with other ControlKeeper network panels using a lighting control RS-485 network for communications. This allows the panels to share information and to be programmed from one central location by a computer with the Keeper Enterprise Software.
For best network performance, Belden 9841 or 89841 should be used. If the specified cable is not used and communications problems occur that require troubleshooting assistance, additional charges for support may be assessed.

1. All low voltage wiring is Class 2.

2. All low voltage wiring must enter the cabinet into the
   Low voltage section of the enclosure. Low Voltage wiring can be brought into the enclosure from the bottom left or top left of the enclosure. Failure to separate high voltage from low voltage wiring may cause interference with logic board function.

3. All low-voltage wiring must be run in separate conduit from line-voltage wiring.

4. Test all network wiring for shorts to AC ground before connecting to the ControlKeeper 4A panel.

5. Leave all shields disconnected making certain that shield is not exposed. These wire types will be connected to a special terminal block on the right side of the controller.

6. Panels and devices on the RS-485 lighting network should be daisy-chained. Do not create a Star or T-tapped configuration.

7. Total network length should not exceed 4000 feet.

Network Wiring Detail

1. Before wiring, select the two panels that are going to be the end panels of the network and plan a wiring scheme accordingly. Panels should be daisy-chained, not star or t-tapped.

2. Pull the twisted pair wiring in conduit along the planned route, making certain that it is separate from any high voltage wiring.

3. Starting at one of the end panels, connect the network (+) and (-) terminals to the next panel’s network (+) and (-) terminals. Continue this process through the network making certain to observe polarity. When finished, the two end panels will have a single pair of wires coming into the network terminal block while all middle panels in the network will have two sets of wires.

4. Set the network termination jumpers. On the end panels on the network set to the terminated position.
   For all panels in the middle of the network, remove the network termination jumper.

5. Set all panel addresses using the panel network identification dip-switches on each panel. See Figures 6 & 7 for location and details.

6. Using the panel reset switch, issue a soft reset to each panel to initialize the panel address. See Figure-6 for location of the reset switch.
   See Figures 5-7 on the next page for a picture reference of twisted pair network wiring and for item reference of network wiring components.

Note: All panels must be assigned a unique Network Address in order to communicate over the lighting network. Switch positions are labeled 1 through 8 and are valued at 1 through 128 as shown above. The network value is calculated by adding the value of the switch positions that are in the ON position. In the example above switches 1 and 3 are ON giving the panel the network address of 5. Addresses 1 through 254 are valid addresses. Zero and 255 are reserved for system use. To initialize the network address with the controller, press the panel rest button after the address is set.

Dimmer Wiring Information

There are four Dimming Output channels at the bottom of the ControlKeeper 4A that allow for connection to 0-10V dimming ballasts. Up to fifty 0-10V ballasts may be controlled off of one dimming output channel.
Please wire the ballast 0-10V wiring per the manufacturer’s specification. Before connecting the ballast 0-10V wires to the ControlKeeper 4A, please run the following test.
Touch the two 0-10V wires together, the dimming ballasts should go full low. When you disconnect these wires, the dimming ballasts should go full bright. If the ballasts do not perform properly, there is a miswire or problem with one of the ballasts wired. Do not connect the ballasts to the Greengate system until this test proves operational.

1. Perform the test outlined in the paragraphs above prior to connection.
2. Terminate the 0-10V wires at the bottom left corner of the ControlKeeper 4A on the terminal strip labeled Dimming Outputs. Each of these output channels is labeled VIO and GRY. This stands for the violet and gray wiring that is standard for these types of ballasts. Please match wire color to the terminal. If the lighting load is also being switched by a relay, it is recommended that the relay number and the channel number for the dimmer output match.

Connecting Low-Voltage Inputs

Analog Input Wiring
This section describes the wiring for analog input devices.
There are four analog input wiring terminals on the left side of the ControlKeeper 4A to allow for wiring of the analog input devices. Analog Input devices must have a 0-10 VDC output for use with these channels. Please refer to the documentation that came with your device for information on proper placement and installation of the device. Proper placement is critical to system function. These instructions describe the wiring of the device at the panel end assuming that the devices are analog photo sensors that have been purchased from Greengate. Please contact technical support if you are using a device not purchased from Greengate to verify compatibility and wiring to the Greengate system.

1. Use 18 AWG twisted, unshielded wire for all low voltage analog input device wiring.
2. Maximum length for analog input device wiring is 500 feet.
3. Wire the signal wire (yellow wire) to one of the terminals labeled AN1, AN2, AN3, or AN4.
4. Wire the ground wire (black wire) to the corresponding COM channel located below the Analog signal channels.
5. Wire the +24V wire (red wire) to the peripheral power connector +24V supply.
6. Ensure that the local remote jumpers have been moved to the local position (over the top 2 pins) for both jumpers (J7 & J8) to enable 24VDC to the low voltage switch channels. See Figure 9 for location.
7. Please see wiring detail in Figure 9 for details on connections of a Greengate provided analog photosensor to the ControlKeeper 4A system.

Contact Input Switch Wiring
This section describes the wiring for dry contact closure devices. There are contact input terminals on the left side of the ControlKeeper 4A to allow for wiring of the dry contact closure devices. If a two-wire maintained or toggle type contact is used, up to eight inputs may be wired. If a 3-wire momentary closure is used, up to four inputs may be wired.
If using two wire devices, the IN terminal will be the ON wire termination point. The +24V terminal may be shared between two wired devices. If using three wire devices, the ON wire will wire to one IN terminal, the +24V will wire to the +24V terminal and the OFF wire will wire to a second IN terminal.

1. Use 18 AWG twisted, unshielded wire for all low voltage dry contact closure device wiring.
2. Maximum length for dry contact closure device wiring is 1000 feet.
3. Ensure that the local remote jumpers have been moved to the local position (over top pins) for both jumpers (J7 & J8) to enable 24VDC to the low-voltage switch channels. See Figure 10 below for location.

Please contact technical support if it is necessary to power additional sensors beyond the numbers listed above.
These figures do not account for additional devices such as lighted switches or digita switches being used. If using a combination of devices, please contact technical support for exact details on how many devices the logic panel can power.

Digital Switch Wiring

Each ControlKeeper 4A panel is capable of supporting up to 7 Digital Switch device stations and 1 GDS-I gateway device (the number the controller is able to support is dependent on the number of other low voltage devices wired that require power from our logic board. Please contact Technical Support for exact details of how many devices your logic board can power.)
Digital Switch cable type should be Cooper Lighting Solutions’ Cable, Belden 1502R (non-plenum), or Belden 1502P (plenum).
For best network performance, one of the suggested cables should be used. If the specified cable is not used and communications problems occur that require troubleshooting assistance, additional charges for support may be assessed.

Digital Switches do not wire directly to the ControlKeeper 4A panel, but are wired to a CAN Bus network that connects to the ControlKeeper 4A through a GDS-I device. Digital Switch devices should be networked together in a daisy chain configuration. No T-Taps/Stars should be used.
The GDS-I device should reside somewhere within the daisy chain switch network. Total daisy chain network length should not exceed 1000 feet
The following instructions describe the GDS-I device connection to the ControlKeeper 4A. Please refer to the Digital Switch Installation Instructions for information on wiring the Digital Switch network to the GDS-I device.

1. Mount the GDS-I next to the ControlKeeper 4A panel.
   A six foot phone style cable has been provided for connection to the ControlKeeper 4A panel.

2. Run a length of the Digital Switch LC or Belden cabling from the GDS-I location to the low voltage section of the ControlKeeper 4A.

3. Connect the RED wire in the cable to the +V terminal on the back of the GDS-I and to the ControlKeeper 4A remote power connector +24 V terminals.

4. Connect the BLACK wire in the cable to the GND terminal on the back of the GDS-I and to the ControlKeeper 4A remote power connector GND terminal.

5. Tape back or cap the blue and white wires and shield wire for the cable. They will not be used for connection between the GDS-I and lighting controller.

6. Locate the 6 foot phone style cable included in the GDS-I box. Run this from the GDS-I into the low voltage section of the ControlKeeper 4A enclosure plugging the end with 9 pin head into the GDS-I. Plug the end the RJ11 phone style plug into the ControlKeeper 4A.

Applying Power

1. After wiring is complete, make certain to clean panel of all wire clippings and fragments ensuring that no fragments get lodged between the circuit board and enclosure.
2. Ensure that there are no loose wires or exposed wires that could short out.
3. Power up the unit.
4. Please refer to the operation section of this instruction for information on turning on and off lighting loads.
   Refer to the Keeper Enterprise Software manual for information regarding the programming of the ControlKeeper 4A.

Relay Override Operation
The ControlKeeper 4A has two means of override located on the logic board: individual relay override buttons and a hardware override switch. It is possible to control lighting loads and override programming using these override mechanisms.

Individual Relay Override Notes
Each relay on the ControlKeeper 4A may be overridden using the individual relay override switches located on the relay card on the right side of the enclosure. See Figure 13 for location of these switches. These override switches will toggle the associated relay’s state with each push of the button. This type of override is temporary in that the override will last until the next command to the relay. This override does not command the dimmers.

ALL OFF/AUTO/ALL ON Switch Notes
In addition to the individual relay override switch, there is a hardware override switch that allows the override of all relays on the board. If this switch is moved to the ALL ON or ALL OFF position, all four relays will remain ON or OFF as long as the switch is in that ALL ON or ALL OFF position. The ON or OFF state is maintained regardless of programmed state. In order for relays to run programmed scheduling the hardware override switch must be in the AUTO or center position. The dimmer channel will also be overridden to full bright in the ALL ON position. See Figure 13 for location of the hardware override switch.

LED Operation
The ControlKeeper 4A has LEDs for status monitoring.
These are explained below.

Network LED:
The Network LED should flash only when activity is present on the network wire. If communications commands are not being transmitted over the network wire from the Keeper Enterprise Software or broadcast switches and this LED is flickering, ON constant, or flashing, it is an indication of noise on the network wire that may interfere with proper system operation. Please check all network wiring carefully for shorts to AC Ground if this condition exists. Contact
Technical Support for further troubleshooting help.

Override Switch Indicator LEDs:
The Override Switch Indicator LEDs will be lit if the ALL OFF/AUTO/ ALL ON Switch has been placed in the ALL ON or ALL OFF position.

Digital Switch LEDs:
These LEDs, labeled CAN-TX and CAN-RX, will flash when Digital Switch information is being passed back and forth between the Digital Switch Gateway and the ControlKeeper 4A.

Microprocessor Status LED:
The Status LED will flash ON and OFF continuously under normal operation. The LED is an indication of microprocessor health. If the LED is ON or OFF all the time, please use the soft reset button on the controller. If the LED does not resume normal flashing state, contact Technical Support.

Individual Relay Status LEDs:
Here are four relay status LEDs, one for each of the relays on the ControlKeeper 4A. Please refer to Figure 14 for location of these LEDs. The relay status LEDs are an indication of whether the associated relay is energized or de-energized. If the relay LED is ON, the relay load should be ON. If the relay LED is OFF, the relay load should be OFF.

Power LEDs:
This LED indicates that the ControlKeeper 4A is getting the proper expected voltage from the transformer. If this LED is not lit, there is a problem with power to the board. Please contact Technical Support for further details.

Input Communications Status LED:
This LED indicates that the input chips are in normal operation. These LEDs should flash to indicate system normal status.

Relay Communications Status LED:
This LED indicates that the relay communications chips are in normal operation. These LEDs should flash to indicate system normal status.

ControlKeeper 4A RS232 Port
The ControlKeeper 4A has an on board RS232 port for communications to peripheral accessory devices or to the Keeper Enterprise Software. This RJ style jack should not be connected to any device not intended for use with the lighting control system. Connection to a phone line will cause damage to the lighting control system that is not covered under warranty. Please use only Greengate approved device connections for connection to this port.

System Reset and Clear Commands
Under certain circumstances, you may want to reset the ControlKeeper 4A. There are two different types of reset commands available in the ControlKeeper 4A system: a soft reset command and a clear reset command.

Soft Reset Command:
A soft reset command is used to initialize a new panel address with the panel. If can also be used as a troubleshooting technique if the panel is not responding or to free up the microprocessor if the unit’s Microprocessor Status LED is not flashing. The Soft Reset Command will not cause loss of panel programming. To perform a Soft Reset Command, press in and then immediately release the reset button. (Refer to Figure 15 for location of the reset switch.) When the reset button is pressed and released, the status LED may hesitate briefly then resume normal operation.

Reset Communications Switch:
In some situations it may be desirable to just cause a reset to the input and relay communications chips. This can be done using the reset button for this purpose in the middle of the board. It is recommended that you contact Technical Support prior to issuing this type of reset command.

Clear Settings Command:
A clear settings command is used to remove all programming from a ControlKeeper 4A unit. It should be done before downloading programming to the unit for the first time or when asked to by a Technical Support representative. Please use caution with this command!

When performing a Clear command, all relay loads will turn off. Use the Hardware Override Switch to keep lighting on if necessary. In order to reprogram the unit, you will need to use the Keeper Enterprise Software. To perform a Clear Command, press and hold down the reset button (first button on left) while pressing and releasing the clear button (middle button). Let go of the reset button. The ControlKeeper 4A unit will be cleared of all programming.

Programming the ControlKeeper 4A
The ControlKeeper 4A is programmed using Keeper Enterprise Software. Please refer to the Keeper Enterprise Manual for programming details. Unless pre- programmed by the factory, it is recommended that a Clear Command be performed on the controller before the first programming download to clear any test data that may be left in the controller from factory testing.

Repair Information
If a repair becomes necessary on your ControlKeeper 4A unit, please refer all service to Greengate’s technical support line at 1-800-553-3879. The ControlKeeper 4A contains no user serviceable parts.
