GDS-I Wiring
Applying Power
1. Once the wiring is complete, make certain that the enclosure
is clean of any wire clippings and that no fragments are
lodged in the relay circuit boards.
2. Ensure that there are no loose wires or exposed wires that
could short to other wires or components.
3. Power up the unit from the circuit breaker.
4. Once power is applied to the unit, lighting loads may
be operated via the ALL ON/ AUTO/ ALL OFF Switch as
necessary.
Manually Controlling Relays
The relays in the enclosure may be controlled before the logic
board is programmed by using the on-board, ALL OFF, AUTO,
ALL ON switch. In the ALL ON position the relay coils will be
energized. In the ALL OFF position, the relay coils will be
de-energized. The middle, AUTO, position allows the relays
to be controlled by the individual relay switches or from the
logic controller.
System Reset and Clear Commands
Under certain circumstances, you may want to reset the Lite-
Keeper-8®. There are two different types of reset commands
available in the LiteKeeper-8®system: a soft reset command
and a clear reset command.
Soft Reset Command: The Soft Reset Command reboots the
microprocessor. It will not cause loss of panel programming. To
perform a Soft Reset Command, insert a slim object through
the hole in the black casing located in the bottom section of
the logic panel. Press in and then immediately release the
reset button under this point. The display will go blank then
read “Initializing…”
Digital Switch Wiring
Each LiteKeeper-8®unit is capable of supporting the Green-
gate Digital Switch (GDS) station. The GDS do not wire directly
to the LiteKeeper-8®logic board, but are wired using a CAN
Bus network that connects to the LiteKeeper®-8 through a
gateway called the GDS-I. GDS stations are wired using the
Cooper LCCP or LCCNP cable, or Belden 1502P or 1502R
equivallents.
For best network performance, one of the suggested cables
should be used. If the specied cable is not used and com-
munications problems occur that require troubleshooting
assistance, additional charges for support may be assessed.
Digital Switch devices should be networked together in a
daisy chain conguration. 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 connec-
tion to the LiteKeeper-8®. Please refer to the Digital Switch
Installation Instructions for information on wiring the Digital
Switch network to the Digital Switch Gateway.
1. Mount the GDS-I next to the LiteKeeper®-8 panel. A six
foot phone style cable has been provided for connection to
the LiteKeeper-8®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
LiteKeeper-8®.
3. Connect the RED wire in the cable to the +V terminal on
the back of the GDS-I and to the LiteKeeper-8®at one of
the switch input +24 VDC terminals.
4. Connect the BLACK wire in the cable to the GND terminal
on the back of the GDS-I and to the LiteKeeper-8®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 LiteKeeper-8®enclosure plugging the end with 9 pin
head into the GDS-I. Plug the end the RJ11 phone style plug
into the LiteKeeper-8®.
7. Ensure through the unit’s keypad that the communication
port has been congured to a GDS COM port. (From the
main display, press the 8 key and then select the option for
the GDS COM port.)
