INTRODUCTION
Welcome! The Lumin Smart Panel (LSP) is a standalone product that extends the capability of an
existing circuit breaker panel (or “electrical panel”) by providing measurement and remote control of
up to twelve (12) circuits in a home or building. The function of the circuit breaker panel remains the
same and is not impacted. The LSP securely and safely transmits real-time consumption information to
the cloud via Ethernet connection (preferred) or customer Wi-Fi.
Data and system controls can be accessed via the Lumin mobile app or the web-based Lumin
dashboard (app.luminsmart.com). The Lumin app gives customers insights into their energy
consumption and energy costs, as well as providing the user with the ability to control or automate
their energy use remotely.
NOTE: A Lumin Smart Panel will not function as designed until it is fully commissioned. It is generally
the responsibility of the installer to perform both the physical installation and the online
setup/commissioning process. Refer to pg. 31 to begin the setup process. All personnel installing this
product should complete Lumin Certified Installer Training prior to installation. Scan below to register
for training.
Need help? For installation assistance please contact Lumin by e-mail at
[e-mail] or by phone at 1-888-421-0616 (North America).

READ BEFORE USE
The LSP interfaces with existing electrical panels and includes conduit/fittings for installation with
surface-mount electrical panels. Verify the label model number is LSP-12-OR before performing an
outdoor installation. Please review the product’s technical ratings and specifications (pg. 35) to confirm
it is suitable for your application prior to installation.
NOTE: The LSP Circuit Label & CT Table (provided with the LSP) must be completed and delivered to the
home/building owner upon the successful installation of the LSP. A completed LSP Circuit Label & CT
Table is required in order to complete LSP setup.
Warnings
LSP installation and servicing involves dangerous voltages that can cause injury or death. In addition to
specific instructions accompanied by the symbol throughout this booklet and product labeling,
observe the following safety precautions:
•Installation and servicing must be conducted by a qualified professional, according to local and
national electrical codes
•Lumin Certified Installer training is required for installation and servicing
•Review entire manual before starting the installation or servicing
•Personal protective equipment should be worn when installing or servicing the product
•Do not use the product in any way other than its intended use
•Do not install or operate the product outside the conditions specified on pg. 35
•Do not open, attempt to access, or touch any internal product parts —dangerous voltages would
be exposed even if main service feed is disconnected
•Do not use the product if it is damaged or appears to be damaged
•Use only the wires and cables supplied with the product
•Power relays are evaluated for 100,000 cycles at a 1.5 HP inductive load (e.g., motors) —larger
loads of this type may result in premature relay failure
•Adhere to all relevant local and national safety regulations for electrical work
•This manual covers outdoor surface mounted electrical panel installations only. Connecting the LSP
conduit to an outdoor recessed electrical panel is the sole responsibly of the installer and shall be
done in accordance with all local codes and regulations.

SYSTEM DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
•The LSP should be mounted so that the connected electrical panel is within reach of the LSP’s flexible
conduit fitting. The fitting extends 13" beyond the left face or 9”beyond the right face of the LSP
enclosure. Ensure that the electrical panel has adequate wiring space for LSP conductors and
connections. Suitable junction boxes and conduit may be used to route and/or extend LSP
conductors if needed. For voltage drop calculations, assume LSP conductors add 15 one-way-feet to
the circuit.
•An LSP requires an always-on Internet connection, either via Ethernet (preferred if available) or 2.4
GHz Wi-Fi. Communication wiring requires materials for routing in 3/4" liquid-tight conduit.
•When used for energy management, the LSP will be most effective when used to shed heavy
discretionary loads. These are loads greater than 15 amps that may be desired during grid outages
or other energy-constrained situations. Lumin can shed such loads automatically while permitting a
user to manually re-enable them at their discretion. More information about circuit selection is
provided in the required Lumin Certified Installer Training. In order to shed discretionary loads
in response to grid conditions, a connection to non-backed up utility grid power is required for
the LSP grid detection circuit. See pg. 28. This will require wiring beyond the LSP’s connected
electrical panel. Controlling the circuit that powers the Internet connection is not
recommended; manual control of the LSP will be lost when this circuit is switched off.
•The LSP does not replace the need for standard circuit breakers. Lumin does not provide overcurrent
protection, ground fault protection, arc fault detection, or other safety functionality that circuit
breakers provide.
•The LSP uses current transformers (CTs) to measure overall power flows. Correct placement of these
CTs may require wiring beyond the LSP’s connected electrical panel. See pg. 23.
•If the LSP is configured to automatically shed loads exceeding backup capacity following a grid
outage, a Temporary Power Unit (TPU) accessory module may be required if the transfer to backup
power takes more than 70 ms. Without the TPU, the LSP could lose power before backup transfer
completes, and circuit disconnection would be delayed until after the LSP powers on with the backup
source. If unsure about transfer times, contact Lumin to determine if a given system requires a
TPU. The TPU may be installed inside the LSP enclosure before (preferred) or after LSP purchase.

STEP 9. Identify A-Row and B-Row Breakers
NOTE: For purposes of Lumin installation, the top row of breakers will always be classified as “A”. The
second row of standard breakers will be “B”. The alternating A-B-A-B pattern continues down the rows
of breakers. Exception: All breaker rows are designated “A” in panels with two-wire single-phase power
rather than three-wire single-phase (split phase).
NOTE: If the electrical panel contains tandem or “skinny” breakers, there will be two breakers in a
standard breaker space. Thus, the top-to-bottom breaker panel will be A-A-B-B-A-A-B-B.
