FIGURE 1- NX PANEL INTERIOR
DESCRIPTION
The NXTM Panel is shipped in one package. Panels are congured with all relays of the same type installed or with space only for
relays to be installed in the eld. The relays are mounted with lighting circuit terminals in the high voltage area. The low voltage
control inputs are located in the low voltage area of the panel.
ENCLOSURE MOUNTING
Typically the NX panel is installed near the circuit breaker panel. Select an appropriate location that meets the environmental
conditions listed in the specication section of this document. The panel interior is divided into high voltage and low voltage
areas as shown in Figure 1 below. Select an appropriate location for incoming line voltage panel power, branch circuits to be
controlled and low voltage input wiring. The housing is supplied with conduit knock-outs labeled to indicate line or low voltage
wiring use. All terminations within the panel enclosure require installation by a licensed electrician in accordance with National
and/or local Electrical Codes.

FIGURE 2  ENCLOSURE MOUNTING HOLES
Locate the enclosure on the mounting surface and use a level to ensure that it is properly oriented and aligned. Secure the
enclosure to the mounting surface with hardware as appropriate for the application using the keyed mounting holes as
shown below in Figure 2.
INSTALLING INDIVIDUAL RELAY CARDS
Relay Panels are most commonly shipped with all relay cards installed. If the project requires dierent types of relays installed in the
same panel then the relays are supplied separately and they will require eld installation. In this application reference the applicable
Relay Installation Instructions supplied with the individual Relay Cards on how to install relays.
Caution:ALWAYS remove supply power to the Panel control Transformer prior to making any connections between relay boards
and panel processor board. Failure to do so may result in personnel injury, damage to the panel, and void its warranty
CONNECTING PANEL POWER
The panel is designed to operate on 120-277VAC for input voltage “2” designator or 120, 277, or 347VAC for input voltage “3”
designator. Panel input power is supplied to the power supply located in the upper center of the panel as shown in Figure 1 on page
2. With the power turned o, route the dedicated panel power supply leads and connect them to the appropriate system voltage
specic leads of the power supply. Connect the power supply ground lead to the panel chassis grounding lug. A label indicating this
ground lug is located adjacent to the connection location.
Note: If the panel will be controlling emergency circuits, the panel power supply feed must be connected to a source of normal
power.

CONNECTING LIGHTING LOADS
With the power turned o, route the lighting system line and load leads through the high voltage area of the panel shown
in Figure 1 on page 2. Connect line and load leads for each lighting load to the output terminals of the appropriate relay as
delineated in the project plans and/or Panel Load Schedule.
Notice: As a general rule, the panel is shipped with relays installed and electrically connected at their input control side. If, however,
relays must be installed, reference the applicable Relay Installation Instructions supplied with the individual Relay Cards on how
to install relays.
Caution: Prior to making any connections to the relay outputs, verify that none of the loads are shorted. Failure to do so may result
in personnel injury, damage to the panel, and void its warranty
USING THE NXP PANEL FOR CONTROL OF EMERGENCY LIGHTING
NXP series panels equipped with NXR-3LEM single pole relay modules are suitable for control of emergency lighting circuits. The
NXR-3LEM relays will automatically go to the closed (on) position upon loss of normal power that is feeding the panel’s power
supply. Upon restoration of normal power to the panel’s power supply, the relays will revert to the appropriate on or o state as
determined by the panel logic.
CONNECTING LOW VOLTAGE INPUTS
Bring the low voltage wiring for the contact inputs in through the knockouts in the low voltage wiring area where indicated
in Figure 1 on page 2. Inputs are software congurable through programming to support momentary switches, maintained
switches (latching), motion sensors, or photocells. Each Relay Card includes one low voltage input. The panel mother board
includes 2 Auxiliary Inputs. These inputs may be connected prior to programming. Inputs may be connected to any terminal
location regardless of nal control programming. Connect contact closure input devices to the input terminals using 18 AWG
wire.
Notice: Use the Panel Load Schedule Form supplied in the clear plastic pocket inside the Panel Door to record the low voltage
input types while making connections.

CONNECTING THE HUBBNET™ NETWORK
The NX™ Lighting Control Panel is designed to operate as part of a NX Networked Lighting Control system. Once programmed,
the panel will operate independently from a network connection. No software installation is required. However, a network
connection to the Area Controller is required for programming the panel. The programming interface is served from the Area
Controller and is accessible via a standard web browser on any compatible PC or computer.
The NX HubbNet network is Ethernet compatible with the exception that the Cat5 HubbNet cable carries 24 VDC as an integral
power source for certain NX peripheral devices. CAUTION: never plug a HubbNet powered network cable directly into a PC or
other Ethernet device. HCS oers accessory devices that allow HubbNet to be converted to standard Ethernet or Ethernet to be
converted back to HubbNet. Contact HCS Technical Services for additional information.
The network interface in the panel is congured to provide an IN and OUT connection point for the HubbNet network. This allows
a single daisy chain connection of the panels minimizing the amount of Cat5 wire required to connect the Area Controller to the
network of panels. See Figure 4
1. Connect the Cat5 cable from the Area Controller into the
Non-Powered RJ-45 connector on the network interface board of the
rst panel
2. Connect the Powered RJ-45 connector on the network interface
board of the rst panel to the Non-Powered RJ-45 connector in the
next panel
3. Continue to run the network until all panels are connected.
IMPORTANT: rout the network so that there is no more than 100
meters (330 feet) of Cat5 wire between any two panels.
NOTE: Consult the factory if the installation requires a longer wire
run than 100 meters between panels.
4. With the Area Controller and the panels powered, check to be sure there is a green
LED (link light) adjacent to each RJ-45 connector. If the link light is not lit, conrm the installation of the RJ-5 connectors on the
cables using a proper testing device.
CAUTION: Never attempt to splice Cat5 cable. Use only proper industry accepted means to extend or join Cat5 Ethernet network
cable runs.
OPERATING THE PANEL
The Mother board power status LED will show continuous“green”. The Relay board status LED will turn on“green” for approximately
2 seconds and then go o. Push, but do not hold the Relay Manual Control button on each relay card to operate each relay to test
functionality. The Relay State Status LED will turn on“red”when the relay is energized and be o when the relay is un-energized. The
panel is now fully functional and ready for conguration using the web browser interface provided by the Area Controller.
