Specifications
Descriptions
Multi-Page LCD screen that can display the following:
- Power draw and energy usage at each output.
- Firmware, Mac Address, and Regulatory Info.
- UID of the Host that the module is communicating with.
- Real-time Bluetooth status connectivity icon.
Manual Load Switches – Toggle to the ON position to switch the load on.
Toggle to AUTO for normal operation. Switch A controls output A, Switch B
controls output B.
PAIR Button – The PAIR button is a multi-use button. The duration that
the button is pressed and held determines the function that gets initiated:
Press and Release – Cycles through the screens available on the LCD
(POWER > ENERGY > INFO 1 > INFO 2)
Press and hold – Press and hold for 2 second to put the module into
pairing mode. Press and hold for 5 seconds to reset. D
Input Power Connections – Connect the outputs from two breakers to inputs
A and B on the companion module. Each input on the companion module should be
connected to a single breaker. See the Wiring section below.
Output Power Connections – Connect output A and output B to separate
loads. See the Wiring section below.
120V AC Connection – Plugs into the 120V AC bus bar in the breaker panel.
The voltage on this connection powers the companion module.
Neutral – The model number of the module determines the type of neutral
connection on the module:
- Plug-On Neutral – Positioned on the bottom of the module is a neutral clip that plugs directly onto the neutral bar.
- Pigtail Neutral – A neutral wire protrudes from the module’s rear and gets wired to the neutral bar in the breaker panel.
Features
- – Control capability for loads up to 2400VA per channel.
- All QO™ style relay modules are compatible with Schneider/Electric Square D™ QO™ load centers.
- ynamic management of loads.
- Built-in energy monitoring; +/- .5% revenue grade accuracy / 1 sec sample time.
- Communicates with the Panel Bridge Controller device using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology.
- Manual load switches, available on the front panel, can toggle power to the outputs On and Off.
- Color LCD display for easy identification and load status.
Important Information
- The breaker(s) feeding the companion module should not be larger than 20 amps.
- Each relay output can switch up to 20 amps.
- To determine the number breaker panel spaces needed, add the number of spaces required for the circuit breaker(s) to the number of spaces needed for the companion module.
- Each circuit breaker requires one space.
- Each companion module requires two spaces.
- A Panel Bridge Controller can communicate with up to 40 companion modules.
- Savant recommends not connecting any mission-critical loads such as medical devices to this relay companion module.
- ELECTRIC SHOCK! The 120V AC, 60 Hz source poses an electrical shock hazard that has the potential to cause serious injury to installers and end users.
- CAUTION! Risk of Electric Shock – More than one disconnect switch may be required to de-energize the device before servicing
- IMPORTANT! A licensed electrician is required to install any of Savant’s Relay Companion Modules.
Installation into Breaker Panel
- Remove power from the breaker panel by switching off the panel’s main breaker.
- Position and install a circuit breaker into one of the slots in the panel. Press firmly until the breaker is fully seated onto the appropriate bus bars.
- Install a second breaker alongside the first.
- Position and install the Companion Relay Module into the slot where it will be installed. Press firmly until the module is fully seated onto the appropriate bus bars. This companion module is typically installed alongside the breakers installed in steps 2 and 3.
- Refer to the Wiring section below and make the appropriate connections.
Wiring
Use the diagram below when making connections between the companion module, associated breakers, and load(s). Additional wiring diagrams are available in the Savant Panelized Lighting Deployment Guide available on the Savant Community.

- 20 Amp Dual Relay Companion Module.
- (2) loads (20 amps max for each).
- (2) 20 amp circuit breakers.
- Breaker test panel. The type of companion module determines the type of breaker panel (plug-on neutral or not).
- 120V AC source
IMPORTANT!
- When making connections, observe all general electrical best practices including local wire sizing guidelines.
- The GPM-QP2R20120-21 and GPM-Q2R20120-21 Companion Modules can accept up to a #12 AWG wire. See the Branch Circuit Minimum Size of Conductors table on the previous page for wire sizing information.
- Plug the two 20 amp feeder circuit breakers and one 20 amp Dual Relay Companion Module into the circuit breaker test panel.
- Connect the output from one of the circuit breakers to Input A on the companion module.
- Connect the output from the remaining circuit breaker to Input B on the companion module.
- Connect a load to Output A.
- Connect a second load to Output B.
- Connect the unused side of each load to the neutral bus bar in the breaker panel.
- On companion modules that contain a neutral wire, connect the neutral wire to the neutral bar.
- Apply power to the breaker panel (not shown in diagram).
- Toggle the 20 amp feeder breakers to On.
- To test, toggle the CIRCUIT POWER switches A and B to ON and verify both loads switch On.
