Overview Introduction
Z-Max Advanced Programming & Systems Design Guide rac00-sdg
Revision A:11/2005 Page 1
Overview
Introduction
Thank you for choosing Leviton’s Z-MAX line of products for your relay needs. The Z-
MAX product line offers a scalable solution of relay and relay control which can fit any
application from the simple 2 or 3-circuit needs with time clock control, to a complete
campus solution, fully integrated with your building management system products.
This user’s guide is has four parts:
1Detailed operational information,
2A complete description of Simple programming mode,
3An Advanced Programming Guide, and
4A Systems Design Guide.
Part 1 contains detailed information about panel operation from the front panel
interface. This section walks you through all front panel features with complete
descriptions of each.
The second, Part 2, contains a complete description of simple programming mode
with documentation on all required programming steps and their application.
The Advanced Programming Guide, found as Part 3 of this manual, is your
complete manual to configuring your Z-Max product. It covers all Z-Max features with
a complete description of all menu options. The advanced programming guide
assumes a basic familiarity with relay systems and Z-Max cabinet programming
philosophy.
Part 4 of this manual contains the System Design Guide and is designed to
familiarize yourself with the requirements common to more complex installations of Z-
Max and their related products.
This manual covers all products in the Z-Max product line as the steps given are
somewhat generic in nature. The particular requirements for your product, especially
as related to terminal location, may differ slightly from that shown. Please review all
markings and labels on your product to ensure that your actions are correct.

Product Specifications & Capabilities
The specifications and capabilities for each product are shown in the table below,
however, generally your product will fit into one of four categories. As the four
categories are used throughout this manual, it’s helpful to recognize which category
your product fits in so you know which sections of the manual apply to each product
type.
Master
"Master" relay panels offer the full suite of capabilities of the Z-Max products including
all networking functionality and modular relays. Relay panel sizes range from as few
as 8 relays per panel up to 96 relays per panel.
Basic
The "Basic" relay panel is very similar to the Master except the feature set has been
reduced. It’s designed to be used in stand alone installations where only basic
capabilities are desired.
Remote
"Remote" relay panels are designed for remote installation and mounting where relay
switching from 4 to 48 load circuits is desired, but control intelligence, programming,
and interface to other systems is required at a central location. Exactly (1) Master
panel must exist on the same network as the remote relay cabinets, and the remote
panels can control relays, accept discreet inputs, and accept an emergency input.
EZ-Max
Panels designated as "EZ-Max" panels are very similar to a "Basic" relay panel except
that in addition to the feature set being reduced, the hardware as also undergone
change to make it a more economical and easy to install package. For example, on an
EZ-Max panel, the relays are not modular. You still get the superior switching
technology of the Z-Max panels, just in a non-modular format.
Product Specifications & Capabilities Chart
The table below gives a generalized overview of the specifications and features of a Z-
Max Relay Cabinet. In the table, the following abbreviations are used:
Y = Yes
N = No
O = Optional
* = An asterick in any column indicates that there is support for this feature, however,
there are conditions with which you should be aware. Consult the specific sections of
the manual dealing with this feature for additional information and requirements.

Warnings - READ ME FIRST
•Conduit Entry Locations: The cabinets have been designed with specific locations
supporting conduit entry for line and low voltage circuits. There are specific areas
of the cabinet which are restricted from some or all types of conduit access.
Reference the Physical Installation section of this manual for specific details.
•Line & load circuit wiring: The line wiring should come from an over-current device
and the load circuit wiring shall go to the specific load to be controlled. On some
models which have integrated branch circuit protection, the line side of the relay
has been pre-wired to a circuit breaker. With these products, only the load side of
the circuits needs to be connected.
•To be installed and/or used in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and
regulations.
•To be installed by a qualified Electrician.
•DO NOT CONNECT line voltage wires to low voltage terminals.
•Mount in a location where audible noise is acceptable.
•When using with fluorescent ballasts, both lighting fixture and ballast must be
grounded.
•Use this relay cabinet only with minimum 75oC copper wire at 75%ampacity.
•Disconnect power when servicing the relay cabinet, fixture or when changing
lamps.
•Indoor use only.
•TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK OR DEATH: TURN OFF POWER AT MAIN CIRCUIT
BREAKER, OR FUSE, AND TEST THAT THE POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING,
OPENING THE PANEL, OR REPLACING ANY COMPONENT!
•During operation, cabinet cover is to be removed by qualified personnel ONLY!
Heed all caution markings indicating the presence of High Voltage. High voltage
may be up to 600V.
•Test each circuit for short circuits before connecting it to relay so damage to the
relay and it’s electronics can be avoided.
•Verify that all un-used power supply leads are insulated with wire nuts.

Part I - Front Panel Operation & Visual Status
Your relay panel has many unique operational features which can be accessed directly
from the front panel. Relay control, relay overrides, and basic status information are
all available features. Secondly, both internal and external to your relay panel are
several "status" indicators which will assist you in determining how your panel is
operating and whether or not it is operating properly. This part of your guide
addresses both of these topics.

The editable field will be flashing. As always, use the following keys
To the right of the time field, the day of the week is displayed. This
field is not editable and is set based on the date setting.
When 12 hour mode is active, the AM/PM field is active for editing. If
Daylight Savings Time is active, the field will display in upper case
characters. If Daylight Savings Time is inactive, the field will display
in lower case characters. If 24 hour mode is active, the AM/PM field
is replaced with an “s” or a “d” and is not editable. Instead, the value
is determined by the Daylight Savings Time setting. The “s” indicates
standard time (Daylight Savings Time inactive); the “d” indicates that
Daylight Savings Time is active.
If Daylight Savings time is active, the am/pm will be displayed in
Upper case letters.
If you exit from this menu via the MENU or CANCEL button, all
changes will be lost.
Set the Astronomical Time Clock
The Z-MAX Scheduler allows you to turn lights on or off in relation to sunrise and
sunset. For example, yard lights can be set to turn on an hour before sunset, and turn
off an hour after sunrise, according to the time of year.
The astronomical time clock (Astro Time) calculates the time of sunrise and sunset for
every week of the year depending on the location of the installation. To use Astro
Time you must know the approximate latitude (in degrees) (See Appendix A for
various cities in North America) of the controller’s location, as well as the present time
of sunrise and sunset (often found in the daily newspaper). Visit www.srrb.noaa.gov/
highlights/sunrise/sunrise.html for a complete listing of Latitude, Longitude, Sunrise
and Sunset information.
