OVERVIEW

nLight AIR rPP/rPP20 is a device that provides on/off switching and dimming for light fixtures. It is suitable for the control of commercial and industrial light fixtures in indoor environments. When installed as part of a nLight AIR lighting control system, the rPP/rPP20 will respond to wireless commands from other devices, to be programmed during startup.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

REQUIRED TOOLS & SUPPLIES
  • Electrical Pliers
  • Screwdriver
  • Wire nuts
  • Electrical box
  • 2mm Precision Slotted Screwdriver, used for 24V terminals only
INSTALLATION STEPS

nLiGHT Power Relay Pack - Installation
steps

  1. Turn the power off at the circuit breaker.

  2. Install electrical box in accordance with state, local, and national
    electrical codes and requirements.

  3. Remove knock-out from the side of the electrical box.

  4. Remove retaining nut and washer from power pack mounting nipple.

  5. Feed Class 1* wires and mounting nipple through the knockout hole.

  6. Install washer and thread retaining nut onto the nipple, and hand-tighten to the wall of electrical box, then apply additional quarter-turn tightening with pliers.

  7. Using wire nuts, connect line, and low voltage wires as shown in the applicable wiring diagram in accordance with state, local, and national codes and requirements.

  8. “24V” models only: Connect +/- DC power leads from nLight AIR sensor(s) to 24VDC terminal block on side of rPP enclosure if needed. See diagrams below for additional details.

  9. For Chicago Plenum models only: Connect the antenna with the gasket to the inside of the sealed box, with the retaining nut on the outside of the box, as illustrated. Once installed, the antenna is IP 67 rated.

  10. Install electrical box cover plate before restoring power.

INITIAL OPERATION

Following power-up, the relay shall close to energize the load. The dimming output shall be at 100% light output. The device shall remain in this state until programmed with Clarity Pro mobile application. See Clarity Pro User Guide for additional programming information.

For Emergency Variant ER
The RPP/RPP20 ER version is a UL924 listed device that is powered on the Emergency circuit and provides full light output (at user-defined high-trim level) in absence of AC voltage on Normal Power sense leads. Normal operation of the control device is restored when AC line voltage is restored to the normal power sensing leads.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

The device cannot be viewed in Clarity Pro

  1. Press the user button for a specified time to reset the device to place the device in Maintenance Mode
  2. Once the user-button LED confirms that the RP20 is in Maintenance Mode, open the Clarity Pro application and search for the device in Clarity Pro. a. If you still cannot see the device in Clarity Pro, contact Technical Support for additional assistance; the device may need to be replaced.
  3. Once the device is identifiable Clarity Pro, attempt to group or configure the device. If you are still having issues, refer to the Clarity Pro User Manual or contact Technical Support for assistance using Clarity Pro to complete the programming of your device.

USER BUTTON

On the side of the controller is a lighted user button. This button can be used for testing and re-programming purposes.

nLiGHT Power Relay Pack - User Button

UL924 Test (ER model only)
Use this test to confirm that the lighting load is properly connected and provides the necessary output in event of loss of power.
1. Press and release the button.
2. Relay will close and dimming output will go to full brightness for 4 seconds.
3. After 4 seconds expires, the device returns to its previous state and the indicator LED shuts off.

LED Diagnostics
The LED is illuminated whenever the button is depressed and blinks to confirm the start of maintenance mode. Depress the button from the side to view the LED and confirm that the device is operational.

Maintenance Mode
Use this mode if you are unable to Identify this device within the Clarity Pro application.
1. Press and hold the button for 10 seconds, then release. LED will begin to flash rapidly after 10 seconds and stop flashing when the button is released.
2. Immediately press and hold the button again for 10 seconds, then release. LED will begin to flash rapidly after 10 seconds and stop flashing when the button is released.
3. The LED will flash twice to confirm entry into Maintenance Mode.

For 60 minutes, the device becomes identifiable in the Clarity Pro app and available for direct connection from mobile app to device (without requiring Group Monitor to be present, in case of a fault or connectivity issue with the Group Monitor).

Clarity Pro can then be used to perform functions such as:

  • Reprogram device settings
  • Reset device network settings
  • Firmware update
  • General troubleshooting and diagnostic functions
