Occupancy Sensor Disabled /
Emergency Input
A
Label: OCC DISABLE / EMERGENCY
Set by DIP Switch: Block 1 Number 1
This is a +24V input signal. Function can be set to
either mode exclusively.
Occupancy Disable Mode
When the input goes high (+24V) the Power Pack
will disable the Occupancy Sensor input and there
will be no change in the current state. When the
input signal is removed, the Occupancy Sensor will
return to the normal mode.
Emergency Mode
Emergency mode is triggered when the emergency
input is connected to the common. When the signal
is received, the Power Pack will turn on all zones
by turning on all relays and raising any 0 – 10V
outputs to 10 V. The Power Pack zones will remain
fully illuminated until the Emergency signal is
removed.

Label: SWITCH 1; ON, OFF, +24V, PILOT, COM
SWITCH 2; ON, OFF, +24V, PILOT, COM
There are two low voltage switch inputs. Switch 1 provides control for Room 1 and Room 2 provides control
for Room 2.
Switch Types
Set by DIP Switch: Block 2 Number 1
There are two general types of switch inputs; analog
and switched.
Analog
In analog mode, the input is expecting to see a 0 -
24VDC or a 0 - 10VDC signal which is used to dim
the light levels proportionately to the level of the
analog input.
Switched
In the switched mode, the input is expecting to see a
+24 VDC level to indicate that a switch is closed.
One Button Mode
The switch connected to these terminal blocks uses
the same button to turn on and turn off the lights.
Push the button once to turn on, push the button a
second time to turn off. The button signal wire should
be connected to the On terminal. No wire is required
at the Off terminal.
Two Button Mode
The switch connected to these terminal blocks uses
two different buttons to turn on and turn off the
lights. Push one button to turn on, push a different
button to turn off. The signal wires from each of the
buttons should be connected to their associated
terminals.
Supply
The +24V source terminal supplies the power
required to energize the Low Voltage switch circuit.
This source is shared with all circuits supplied from
the +24V power supply to a maximum of 120 mA.

Emergency / Occupancy Sensor Disable
DIP Switch: Block 1 Switch 1
Label: EMERG / OCC DISABLE
This configures the response to a signal (+24V) at the OCC Disable/Emergency input
terminal. If the switch is in the off position (EMERG), the response to a connection to
common will be to turn all relays on and raise all 0 – 10V outputs to ten volts. During this
condition no other control will have any effect over the outputs. If this switch is set to on
(OCC DISABLE), the Occupancy Sensor will be disabled and no change in the current
zone state will occur when +24VDC is received by the input. When the signal is
removed, the Power Pack will return to normal operation.

Label: LOCAL / NET ENABLED
The models covered by this manual do not have network capability. This switch should
remain in the off position.
Manual On / Auto On
DIP Switch: Block 1 Switch 4
Label: MAN ON/ AUTO ON
This switch determines the response to the Occupancy Sensor signals. In the off
position (MANUAL ON) the Power Pack will turn on zones only with a switch input. The
Occupancy Sensor input signals will only turn the lights off. In the on position (AUTO ON)
position the Power Pack will turn on and off zones in response to signals from the
Occupancy Sensors. This setting controls the behavior for both rooms.
Local / Auto Cal
DIP Switch: Block 1 Switch 5
Label: LOCAL / AUTO CAL
The setting activates the Auto Calibration cycle. For more information, see the
discussion on the Auto Calibration feature later in this guide. This setting controls the

Photocell Slow Response / Fast Response
DIP Switch: Block 1 Switch 6
Label: PC SLOW / PC FAST
This setting determines the speed at which the system will respond to changes in light
levels detected by the Photocell. In the off position (PC Slow), the response time will be
30 minutes. In the on position (PC Fast), the response time will be 30 seconds. This
setting controls the behavior for both rooms.
Burn In
DIP Switch: Block 1 Switch 7
Label: BURN IN/ OFF
This setting activates the 100 Hour Burn In feature. This setting controls the behavior for
both rooms.
Open Loop / Closed Loop
DIP Switch: Block 1 Switch 8
Label: OPEN LOOP / CLOSED LOOP
The switch determines whether the power pack should operate in open loop or closed
loop daylight harvesting mode. In closed loop mode, the photocell should be sensing the
amount of ambient or task light in the room. In open loop mode, the photocell should be
sensing the amount of light coming in through the skylight or windows. For details on the
two methods of operation, please see the discussion later in this guide. This setting
controls the behavior for both rooms.

ANALOG MODE BEHAVIOR (LEVITON LV230 SWITCHES)
Set by DIP Switch: Block 2 Number 3 and/or Number 6
Settings: ON = Analog
Set by DIP Switch: Block 2 Number 2 and/or Number 5
Settings: ON = 0 – 10VDC, OFF = 0 – 24VDC
Connections: In this mode, the ON input is connected to +0 – 10VDC or +0 – 24VDC
varying input. The OFF input is optionally connected to a maintained contact,
indicating whether the lights should be on of off. Input impedance is 85k ohms.
Behavior: Analog mode allows for a dimmed override to be applied allowing the user
to set the temporary dimmed level of the lights via a slider or other such input
device. In this mode, the miniZ expects either +0 - 10VDC or +0 - 24VDC at the
ON input, which indicates the dimmed level, and a maintained input to the OFF
terminal indicating whether the lights should be on or off. When using the miniZ
in a daylighting operation, the dimmed level is a temporary override. After the
override time (60 minutes) has elapsed, the device will automatically return to
daylight harvesting mode.
The input can be set for two different voltage ranges. When in this mode, a zero
(0) volt level signal represents off, while a 24 (or 10) volt level represents full on.
The zone is dimmed proportionally between these levels.

DIP Switch Block 3
Photocell Maximum Foot Candle DIP Switch
(PHOTOCELL MAX)
Set by DIP Switch: Block 3 Number 1 to 8
Application – Open Loop Daylight Harvesting ONLY
This 8 position DIP switch is used to set the maximum foot candle
value of the photocell being used with the system. The switches shall
represent the binary number 0 - 255. The foot candle value is the sum
of the switch values multiplied by 10. The system can accommodate
photocells with a range of 0 to 2550 foot candles in increments of 10.
From this setting the miniZ Power Pack determines the foot candles
per volt.

STEP 8 CONFIGURATION TRIM POT SETTINGS
Adjust this trim pot to set the upper limit for the 0
– 10VDC Ballast outputs. The full range of the
pot adjusts the upper limit in a range from 6 volts
to 10 volts.
Application
During daylight harvesting operation, the Max
trim pot will scale the auto threshold calculated
target proportionally. For example, if the auto
threshold acquired value from the photocell is 6
volts, turning the Max trim pot to 8 will scale the 6
volts by 80% making the photocell target value
4.8 volts. (max shall also limit the dimmer outputs
by the same scaling factor. For this example, the
dimmer output will not go above 8 volts.
Default
The default position is full on.
MAXIMUM TRIM POT (MAX)1
TRIM POT LOCATIONS
1
Adjust this trim pot to set the minimum level the
0 – 10VDC outputs will dim during daylight
harvesting mode operation. The full range of the
pot adjusts the lower limit in a range from 0 volts to
4 volts.
Application
As external light increases, the miniZ will begin
reducing the light levels of the loads as the
photocell value begins to rise. Normally, with Min
set to 0, the 0 – 10VDC outputs will continue to
decrease until the dimmer outputs are at zero. If
the Min pot is set to a value higher than zero, the
output will not drop below that value even though
the daylight harvesting routine determines that it
should.
Overriding of the daylight harvesting mode with the
use of dimming control, will allow the control below
the Min level, all the way down to zero volts.
Default
The default position is full off.

Dimmed Model, Open Loop
In Open Loop mode, the Target trim pot is used to enter the desired foot candle value from 0 – 100 foot
candles, at the photocell. A setting of 0 equals 0 foot candles, a setting of 10 equals 100 foot candles.
Dimmed Model, Closed Loop
In Closed Loop mode, the PC Level trim is used to set the target photocell values. The trim pots scale of 0 –
10 represents the 0 – 10 volt signal of each photocell. If, however, you are using Auto Calibration, the PC
Level trim pot defines the Light Loss Factor (LLF) applied to the target level. The LLF is 20% when the trim pot
is set at 0 and 0% when the trim pot is at 10. The assumption is that auto calibration occurs when the lamps
are new, the fixtures are clean, and the room is performing to the initial lumen output not the maintained lumen
output. When the Offset trim pot is set to 0, the LLF is set to 20%. When the PC Level trim pot is set to 10, the
LLF is 0%.
Basic Model
On the basic model these trim pot set the point that the relay for each room is opened. The photocell must
remain on either side of the trip point for the time determined by the Photocell Fast/Slow DIP switch setting
before changing states.
Independent Controls
Each PC Level trim pot controls a corresponding room independent of the other. Use pot Z1 to control Room 1
and pot Z2 to control Room 2. The default setting is center.
DAYLIGHT HARVESTING PC LEVEL TRIM POT4
Adjust this trim pot to determine the action taken
when the LOAD SHED (SHED) input is active.
Application
For the basic model, if the pot is positioned
between 0 – 30%, relay 1 will be forced off, if set
between 30 – 70%, both relays will be forced off,
and if set between 70 – 100%, relay 2 will be
forced off.
For dimmed models, all 0 – 10VDC outputs will go
to the level determined by the position of the Load
Shed pot if it is currently higher than that level. If
the Load Shed pot is adjusted above the Max pot,
no change shall occur.
Default
The default position is center.

Setup
To setup your device in either open loop or closed loop mode, please reference Step 4, Settings,
found on page 3 of this document. This section details with specific calibration and configuration of
your miniZ device when in each of these modes.
Open-Loop Operation
Typical open-loop systems employ a photocell positioned towards the daylight source (window,
skylight, etc).
Important! For best results, the photocell should receive as little electric light as possible.
To determine the setting of each of the PC Level trim pots, light meter readings must be taken
during the day with the electric lights off and during consistent daylight (i.e. if a cloud covers the sun
during meter recording, start over or wait for the cloud to pass). Position the light meter at the
photocell, pointing it in the same direction as the photocell. Record the value. Next position the
light meter at the work surface in each room pointing it towards the ceiling. Record the value in
each room.
Now calculate the ratio of the zone value to the photocell value for each room. Use the chart below
to determine the PC Level setting. For example, if the photocell reading is 400 foot candles and
Room 1’s reading is 50 foot candles, the ratio is 50/400 = 0.125. Find 0.125 on the chart’s x-axis
(Room/Photocell Ratio) and follow a straight line up until the diagonal line it intersected. Then
follow a straight line to the left on the chart to obtain the trim pot setting. In this case the setting
would be 7.
Closed-Loop Operation
Closed-loop systems position the
photocell so that it measures the amount
of light in the room being controlled. It is
important to correctly position the
photocell so that it receives either the
average amount of ambient light or if
sensing task lighting that it is directed at a
surface which will reflect an appropriate
representation of the amount of task
lighting in the room.

AUTO CALIBRATION
(CLOSED LOOP OPERATION ONLY)
Set by DIP Switch: Block 1 Number 5 On
The Auto Calibration feature of the miniZ Power
Pack provides an automatic daylight harvesting
calibration. During the 24 hour calibration period
all fluorescent fixtures will remain at full
illumination levels and cannot be turned off. The
miniZ Power Pack will monitor the Photocell
readings to determine the lowest level during the
calibration period. This reading typically occurs at
night. At the conclusion of the Auto Calibration
period the miniZ Power Pack will enter normal
operation.
Note: Auto Calibration is only applicable to
closed loop photocell operation. When the device
is configured in open loop mode, auto calibration
can be activated but the results of such will have
no effect on the configuration or output of the
miniZ.
Start
To initialize this function, move the DIP switch
labeled Auto Cal to the ‘ON’ position.
Observe: The LED above the DIP switch will
begin to flash on and off in a steady pattern until
the calibration period is complete. The
fluorescent fixtures will also be illuminated at their
full level for the duration of the cycle.
Stop
The cycle can be stopped at any time by turning
off the DIP switch.
Observe: The red LED above the DIP switch will
turn off.
Restart
To restart this function, move the DIP switch
labeled Auto Cal to the ‘OFF” position and then
back to the ‘ON’ position.
End of Cycle
Observe: The LED will be on steady at the end of
the calibration period and the miniZ Power Pack
will automatically enter normal operation.
Burn In and the Auto Cal features can occur
at the same time.
BURN IN FEATURE
Set by DIP Switch: Block 1 Number 7 On
The Burn IN feature of the miniZ Power Pack
provides an automatic initializing cycle for new
fluorescent lamps. The Burn In feature will
maintain the fluorescent fixtures at full
illumination levels for 100 hours. At the
conclusion of the Burn IN cycle the miniZ Power
Pack will enter normal operation.
When to use it
Some manufacturers of fluorescent lamps require
the lamp to be run at the full illumination level for
a ‘burn in’ period prior to any dimming activity.
This feature provides an easy method to satisfy
that requirement.
Start
To initialize this function, move the DIP switch
labeled Burn In to the ‘ON’ position. Observe:
The LED above the DIP switch will glow red and
will remain in that state until the cycle is
complete. The fluorescent fixtures will also be
illuminated at their full level when turned on until
all zones have been on for 100 hours.
Stop
The cycle can be stopped at any time by turning
off the DIP switch.
Observe: The red LED above the DIP switch will
turn off.
Restart
To restart this function, move the DIP switch
labeled Burn In to the ‘ON’ position. Observe:
The observations will be the same as the Start
step.
