Wiring

Figure 4-1: LCRP-12

POWER WIRING

To initially wire the LCRP, connect the power breaker in your panel to the transformer in the LCRP.

Figure 4-2: 24V Power Transformer

RELAY WIRING
To wire individual relays, bring the hot from the breaker to the first terminal for the desired relay. Then run another conductor from the second relay terminal to the load.

Figure 4-3: Relay Driver Board

Emergency Lighting Wiring
From the fire alarm unit or latching Emergency Lighting switch, wire the Normally Open (NO) contacts to the “EL” and “Com” positions on the LCRP Controller.

Figure 4-8: Wiring for Emergency Lighting

Completion Contact Wiring
From the desired unit, wire the Normally Open (NO) contacts to the “CC” and “CC” positions on the LCRP Controller.

Figure 4-9: Wiring for Completion Contacts

INITIAL POWER-UP PROCEDURE

• With the circuit breaker panel door open and breakers visible, turn on the Controller Power 15 Amp circuit breaker.
• The red “Status” LED should illuminate on the LCRP Controller and “Lyntec LCRP-12” will scroll across the screen.
• Use the red and green test buttons to test the relay operation.
• Please note that the test buttons and normal sequencing signals are disabled when a DMX signal is detected regardless of DMX sense settings.
• EO/EL will override DMX signal settings, but individual circuit settings allow customization of the response. BO is enabled by default but can be disabled in the normal manner.

Setup

• LCRP-12 setup is achieved via a dial on the LCRP Controller. The dial is rotated to view options and pressed to select and store options. The dial can rotate left or right and also be pressed in for menu selection and control. The screen will timeout after 30 seconds and clear anything not saved.
• Note: It is advised to not have the DMX signal active during setup. Having a DMX signal active during setup reduces the responsiveness of the dial.

MENU OPTIONS

Circuit Select Menu

• The Circuit Select Menu will appear any time changes are made to individual circuits. All circuit LEDs will go Green except the selected circuit which will alternate between red & green.
• When the desired circuit has been selected, press the dial to move to the next option for that circuit.
• On menus where the circuit ON/OFF is selected, green designates OFF & red designates ON.
• To save changes, press the dial-in for 2 seconds to ensure all changes are saved to memory. “SAVd” will display on the screen when saving is complete.

Address Menu (Addr)
Changes the starting address for the sequential DMX addressing. The valid range is from 1-512 minus the number of circuits. For example, a 12-circuit LCRP-12 would have the highest valid starting address of 501. The address is changed one digit at a time. Least significant first to most significant. The encoder press will move to the next digit until all digits are complete and save the new address. The default address is 001.

On Threshold Menu (t on)

• Changes the threshold level for DMX to turn the circuit ON. The threshold is limited in the range from 145 to 239. The default value is 192 (75%).
• The threshold is changed one digit at a time. Least significant first to most significant. The encoder press will move to the next digit until all digits are complete and save the new threshold level.

OFF Threshold Menu (toff)

• Changes the threshold level for DMX to turn the circuit OFF. The threshold is limited in range from 17 to 111. The default value is 64 (25%).
• The threshold is changed one digit at a time. Least significant first to most significant. The encoder press will move to the next digit until all digits are complete and save the new threshold level.

DMX Sense Menu (dSnS)

• This menu enables or disables DMX sense. This will cause ALL circuits to turn ON when a DMX signal is detected. Circuits will turn OFF based on the next timeout setting.
• There is no individual circuit control when DMX Sense is enabled.

DMX Sense Timeout Menu (Sout)

• DMX Sense Timeout is the time without a DMX signal before ALL circuits are automatically turned OFF.
• The default is 5 minutes. Options are 1, 2, 5, 10 minutes. Press to save the selection and return to the main menu.

Brownout Menu (bo)

• This feature changes the circuit state for circuits during an under-voltage (brownout) or over-voltage condition. The default setting is all circuits set to turn off during either voltage condition.
• Pressing the dial will activate the Circuit Select Menu. The current setting for the selected circuit will be displayed. Press the dial to change the state. The rotating left will select “OFF” and the right will select “ON”
• Press to save the selection and return to the Circuit Select Menu.
• When all changes to individual circuits have been made. Press to save the selection and return to the main menu.

Emergency Lighting Menu (El)

• This feature allows you to select which individual circuits should turn on in the event of an emergency. This feature is disabled by default.
• Pressing the dial will activate the Circuit Select Menu. The current setting for the selected circuit will be displayed. Press the dial to change the state. The rotating left will select “OFF” and the right will select “ON”
• Press to save the selection and return to the Circuit Select Menu.
• When all changes to individual circuits have been made. Press to save the selection and return to the main menu.

Completion Relay Menus (C on & CoFF)

• These two menus allow you to select which individual circuits trigger the completion relay. The default ON circuit is the last circuit and the default OFF circuit is the first circuit.
• Pressing the dial will activate the Circuit Select Menu. Rotate the dial to select the desired circuit. The current setting for the selected circuit will be displayed. Press the dial to change the state.
• Press to save the selection and return to the Circuit Select Menu.
• When all changes to individual circuits have been made. Press to save the selection and return to the main menu.

Nominal Voltage Selection Menus (VrnG & VoLt)

• These menus allow you to set the nominal voltage for under-voltage (brownout) or over-voltage monitoring. Do not change this setting without changing out the transformer hardware.
• The VrnG menu sets the voltage range. Exact voltages are selected in the next menu. Press to open the VrnG menu and turn the dial to select 120C, 240V, or 277V as the voltage range. The factory setting is based on the model ordered.
• Press to save the selection and return to the main menu.
• The VoLt menu allows to refinement of the nominal voltage within the selected range. For example, in the 120V range, you may choose any nominal voltage between 100V and 130V in 1-volt increments. See Table 5-1 for ranges and increments.

Table 5-1: Voltage Settings
Press to save the selection and return to the main menu.

Emergency Relay Menus (EoCC & ELCC)

• The default input type for EL and EO features is Normally Open. You may change the type to Normally Closed in these menus.
• Press the dial to display the current setting. Rotate to change the setting.
• Press to save the selection and return to the main menu.

Brownout Enable/Disable (boEn)

• This feature allows you to enable or disable the brownout (under or over-voltage) protection. The default setting is ENABLED. To disable, press to open the menu, then rotate.
• Press to save the selection and return to the main menu.
• PLEASE NOTE: If brownout is disabled, the start-up voltage check is also disabled. The normal start time requirement for this is 5 seconds. Control is only possible after this check is complete. Disabling Brown out removes this start-up time check, enabling it conversely ensures that voltage is good before making changes.

Display Brightness (brGt)

• This menu changes the brightness of the display. The screen will not blink, but the left/right will decrease/increase the brightness in real-time.
• Press to save the selection and return to the main menu.

Factory Reset (rSEt)

• To reset the LCRP-12 to factory settings press the dial to confirm.
• CAUTION: This action restores everything to the default configuration. All settings will be lost. The LCRP-12 will automatically restart.

Information Menu (InFo)

• This menu shows the current firmware version of the LCRP-12.
• Press to return to the main menu.

Test Menu (teSt)

• When pressed, circuit 1 will turn on. Turning the dial to the right will turn OFF circuit 1 and then turn ON circuit 2 at a half-second interval. This will repeat for as many circuits as are installed. Turn the dial to the left to reverse the circuit OFF / ON sequence.
• This will NOT time out. A second press of the encoder button is required to end the TEST mode.
• Press to return to the main menu.
