The 0–10V Dimming Control option card (IQ-LVD) provides 24
outputs for control of 4-wire current-sink, 0–10 VDC
fluorescent or electronic loads.
• Each of the 24 outputs are rated to control a maximum
of 400 mA per channel (up to 50 ballasts per channel).
• Loss of power at the Sensor IQ Breaker Panel controller
results in releasing control levels to full.
• The IQ-LVD option card installs using stand-offs to the

The Digital Addressable Lighting Interface Control card (IQ-
DALI) controls 24 loops of 64 DALI-compatible ballasts in
broadcast mode. Each loop of up to 64 ballasts is linked one-
to-one with the panel circuit for power control.
The DALI ballast must be powered by an external DALI loop
power supply (supplied by others). This supply is connected
externally of the Sensor IQ panel. Each DALI loop requires its
own power supply and possibly more than one power supply
depending on the ballast load.
• Installation is limited to 64 DALI-compatible fluorescent
ballasts per DALI loop.
• The IQ-DALI Control card installs using stand-offs to the
inside wall of the low-voltage box.
The Contact Input card (IQ-CI) provides the ability to directly
control the breakers using a momentary or maintained dry
contact input.
• The IQ-CI card installs using stand-offs to the inside wall
of the low-voltage box.
The UPS Control Backup Wiring Kit provides a way to connect
an auxiliary source of power to the Echo Power Control
Processor (PCP). The backup UPS will allow breakers to
change state as needed in emergency lighting control systems
where the panel must shed loads to avoid overloading the
emergency power source.

Note:
The NEC requires a minimum 0.914 m (3 ft) distance (NEC 110.26(A)(1)) in front of
a Sensor IQ panel. The NEC requires that the handle of the highest circuit breaker in
a breaker panel be no more than 2.0 m (6 ft 7 in) above the floor (NEC 240.24(A)).
Check other electrical and safety codes for additional requirements.
Note:
Both the installation location and the mounting hardware must support a fully
populated panel, including conduit and cable, which weighs approximately 54.5 kg
(120 lb).

Cable Routing and Conduit Access
When planning conduit entry and cable routing to the Sensor IQ Breaker Panel, pay special attention to
the recommendations shown in the figure below. Arrows indicate acceptable conduit entry locations.
The low-voltage wiring trough is located between the edge of the panel and the User Interface. The
panel can be mounted with the trough on the top or the bottom, allowing for data and low-voltage
cable routing flexibility.

16 Sensor IQ Installation Manual
Rotating the User Interface
The User Interface (UI) is installed with four Phillips-head screws and can be rotated to accommodate
top-feed or bottom-feed mounting. Rotating the User Interface involves disconnecting and
reconnecting factory-installed wire harnesses located on the back side of the UI. Take note of the
connector orientation when reconnecting all wire harnesses.
The Data Access panel may also need to be rotated to keep the label text in a readable orientation.
1: Remove the two Phillips-head screws holding the panel in place.
2: Rotate the panel 180°.
3: Reattach the panel using the screws.
Branch Circuit Numbering
Depending on the orientation of the UI, the number used to designate each circuit breaker may be
different. A breaker panel with top-feed wiring will have circuit breaker 1 in the top-left position;
whereas a breaker panel with bottom-feed wiring will have circuit breaker 1 in the bottom-right
position. This breaker positioning is the same for all size and voltage panels.
