This user guide describes LUMISYS LRP Controller hardware and software features and how to congure these features
with LUMISYS’ LP-PK Windows based Setup Software.
LUMISYS’ Control Panels each contain an LRP Controller. The LRP Controller is a microprocessor-based controller that
provides the latest lighting control features to automate lighting control in a facility. Each LRP Controller provides for RS-
485 communication, input connections for external devices and outputs to drive its high voltage relays or circuit breakers.
Although each LRP Controller provides the same basic lighting control features there are slight differences between their
number of outputs, type of outputs, inputs and enclosures. TABLE 1 lists the hardware differences between each model. See
the respective data sheets and installation guides for specic information on each model.

LUMISYS’ LP-PK Windows Setup Software is required in order to setup and commission LUMISYS control panels. It pro-
vides an easy way to set up each LUMISYS control panel and a means for saving the setup to a hard drive or diskette.
LUMISYS will factory program each LRP Controller from completed LP-PK Set Up Worksheets provided by the customer.
There is a slight fee for this service but it will be less than the cost of the customer trying to set up the LRP Controllers during
installation. Each LRP Controller can be factory addressed, tagged with the name of the electrical room where it will be
installed, and a copy of each .lpx le can be emailed to the customer. We highly recommend this service to minimize eld
technician time. See the LP-PK Set Up Worksheets at the end of this manual.
The LP-PK software is a one-time purchase for a single site license. Each site must purchase its own software. Until further
notice all future LP-PK upgrades will be free to existing customers who can prove proof of purchase.
*Requires AI-6 Anolog Input Control Module.

L26 Series and TRIATEK Legacy Products: L2500 and RCS1000.
Figure 2 is a picture of the LRP Controller used for the L28 Series.
The difference between the two LRP Controllers is the number of inputs and outputs and the type of output device it controls
as listed in Table 1.
Group, Output and System Status LEDs
1. Group Status LED’s show the status of each of the LRP Controllers 60 lighting groups. The green LEDs labeled G1-G30
indicate output group status. If the associated LED is on then the group is on. If the LED is ashing, then the group is on
but in the Flash Warning mode and will automatically turn off after the On-Time After Flash has expired. In normal
operation, the AUTO (or BK) pushbutton is used to toggle the display between groups 1-30 and groups 31-60. System
Status LED 2 indicates which set of group status is being displayed. If Status LED 2 is off then groups 1-30 status are
being displayed and if Status LED 2 is on then groups 31-60 status are being displayed.
2. Output Status LED’s show the status of each of the LRP Controllers outputs. The L26 Series series and RCS-1000 use
outputs with auxiliary contacts so the associated red LEDs show the state based on the state of the outputs auxiliary
contact. Otherwise the output status LED will show the LRP Controllers commanded state of the output. If the LED is on
the output is on and if the LED is off its associated output is off.

3. System Status LED #1 (top, right) is the heartbeat of the LRP Controller. During normal operation
this LED should be ashing on and off. During programming mode it will be steady on. If this LED is
not ashing during normal operation then there is a potential problem with the LRP Controller. Please
see theTroubleshooting section of this guide.
4. The LRP Controllers will use STATUS LEDs 2-7 to display network communication information. This
is a great feature for technicians to quickly determine network status. The information displayed on
all LRP Controllers is as follows.
· STATUS LED 2 - Illuminates when any serial command is received.
· STATUS LED 3 - Illuminates when end of command character is received.
· STATUS LED 4 - Illuminates when this LRP Controller is addressed.
· STATUS LED 5 - Illuminates when a correct checksum is detected.
· STATUS LED 6 - Illuminates when this LRP Controller receives a legal command.
· STATUS LED 7 - Illuminates when the LRP Controller has executed a command.
5. LRP Controller L28 Series LED’s indicate either the state of each of its
eight outputs or the network communication information. When in the network
communication mode the LED’s represent the same information as shown
above for STATUS LEDs 2-7. Pressing the STAT Pushbutton will display network
communication information and pressing the AUTO Pushbutton will display the
status of its eight outputs. STATUS LED P on the L28 Series is the watchdog
timer and power indication, and 1-8 represent each of its outputs.
Power, Communication and Watchdog LEDs
6. Power LED is steady on when the proper power is applied to the LRP Controller.
If this LED is not on please see the Troubleshooting section of this user guide
7. Communication TX LED illuminates if the LRP Controller is sending outbound
communication and the RX LED illuminates each time inbound communication
is received. If these LED’s are not operating please see the Troubleshooting
section of this user guide.
8. Watchdog LED should be steady on. If this LED is ashing or off please see
the Troubleshooting section of this guide
Inputs
9. Input terminal blocks for connecting input wiring. The terminal blocks can be
removed from the LRP Controller for easy installation or for quick replacement of a
LRP Controller. 24 inputs standard, expandable to 120 inputs; 16 inputs

of 120 inputs. This is not available for the LRP Controller L28 Series.
11. Input Power jumper provides the capability to select the LRP Controller to power its inputs or allow an external
power source to power its inputs. Occupancy sensors that use 24VDC to power the sensor are typical
applications that are externally powering an input. Jumper in the “N” position congures the inputs to be dry
contact and powered by the LRP Controller. Jumper in the opposite position congures the inputs to be
externally powered by up to 24VDC. Each jumper affects only its respective eight inputs only. There is one
jumper for each of the LRP Controller’s eight inputs.
12. Analog Input terminal accepts a VDC signal up to a maximum of 6VDC or LUMISYS’ LS Series Light Sensors
Model LS Series /I-5V-0-5 for indoor level, LS Series /O-5V-0-5 for outdoor light level and LS Series /S-5V-0-5
for skylight levels.
Outputs
13. Output terminals to output devices. The LRP Controller provides cable headers for connection to its outputs.
See TABLE 1 for details on the output capability of each LRP Controller. A ribbon cable is used to connect the
LRP Controller output header to either a Relay Interface Board or Circuit Breaker Interface Board. Each output
driver on the LRP Controller is protected to survive a direct short which minimize failures.
14. On board current limiting is provided on all output drivers.
Pushbuttons
15. Three pushbuttons labeled “OVER” (or CH), “AUTO” (or BK) and “STAT” (or TG)
are provided on the LRP Controller to provide,
1) manually override of all the relays,
2) set the network address of the LRP Controller, and
3) view network status and group and relay status for more information on their use please refer to
the software features section of the user guide.
Power Supply Protection
16. Supply Power terminals for connection of 24VAC power. The terminal block can
be removed from the LRP Controller for easy installation or quick replacement of
an LRP Controller. The LRP Controller supply power protection circuitry provides
30VA self reset over-current protection.
Network Terminals
17. Network communication terminal blocks for connecting network. The terminal
blocks can be removed from the LRP Controller for easy installation or for quick
replacement of an LRP Controller. On-board isolation circuitry provides 500-volt
isolation for the RS-485 communication network.
EPROM and EEPROM Diagnostics
18. The LRP Controller continuously veries integrity of its EPROM (Electrically Programmable-Read Only Memory)
and EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory). Unit will notify that an error exists through
the LP-PK Set Up software.

The LRP Controller software features listed in this user guide apply to the LUMISYS models running software version 4.0.
Number of Inputs
• 24 inputs standard per LP-Controller. (16 on L28 Series)
• Expandable to 120 inputs (16 maximum on L28 Series) with additional input expansion modules, part number LEXP.
• 1 analog input per LRP Controller. (Not available on L28 Series).
Timers Durations
• Up to 3 timer values per LRP Controller.
• Timers can be from 1 minute to 18 hours in length in 1-minute increments.
• Timers can be assigned to any input. Timers must expire before an output can be commanded off.
• Timers will automatically turn the output off after the timer has expired (or ash then turn output off if the ash warning
feature is selected).
• Input turns group on when activated but does not start timer until input is deactivated.
Relay Refresh
• This provides the capability for the LRP Controller to refresh the status of each output to the correct state. The purpose
of this feature is to overcome power dips that may occur while output coils are being energized.
• Refresh rate can be set to “0” for no refresh or refresh between 3 to 30 minutes in 1 minute increments. If you select 10
minutes then the LRP Controller will automatically pulse the output coil to the correct state every ten minutes.
• This feature should only be used if you are experiencing problems with all outputs in a particular zone turning on or off
or if you know the power source to the LRP Controller drops below acceptable levels.
Naming Inputs
• Each input with the exception of the analog input can be named for identication purposes.
• Requires LP-PK 4.0, Input names are saved in the LP-PK .lpx le not in the LRP Controller.
Input Type
• The LRP Controller provides six input types: Maintained, Momentary On, Momentary Off, Momentary On/Off,
Linked On and State Change.
• Maintained inputs require the input be maintained to activate the output.
• Momentary On inputs require a momentary closure to activate an output.
It requires a separate input be assigned as a Momentary Off input to deactivate the output.
• Momentary Off inputs require a momentary closure to deactivate an output.It requires a separate input be assigned as
a Momentary On input to activate the output.
• Momentary On/Off inputs require a momentary closure to toggle the state of the output. This input type requires only
one input to perform both on and off control of an output. This input type requires the input device be in a location
where the lights are within visual contact.
LRP Controller Software Features
Note If a timer is assigned to this input, the timer starts once the input is deactivated.
Note If a timer is assigned to this input, the timer starts once the input is deactivated.

• Linked On inputs are designed for multi-level lighting control applications that require timers for automatic shutoff of
lighting. A typical application is 1/3, 2/3 and 3/3 lighting levels in conference room. One input is assigned to the 1/3
level output and a second input to the 2/3 level output. Typically two additional inputs are assigned as Momentary Off
inputs for the 1/3 and 2/3 outputs. Activating the 1/3 light level switch will turn on the respective output and begin its
timer. Once the timer has expired the 1/3 light level output will ash to warn the occupants that the lights are about to
turn off. Once the lights ash the two switches, 1/3 and 2/3, are linked as one so either the 1/3 or 2/3 switch can be
activated to reinitialize the timer for the 1/3 lighting level. Immediately after either switch is activated the switches are
automatically un-linked and return to their independent state until another ash warning occurs. Without this features a
user may accidentally activate the wrong level switch causing frustration for the user.
• Change State inputs are designed for use with maintained 3-way switches in retrot applications. A change of state will
toggle the state of the associated output.
Analog Input
• Each LRP Controller with the exception of the L28 Series Controller provides an input for accepting a 0-5 VDC signal
up to a maximum of 6 VDC for LUMISYS’ LS Series Light Sensors Model LS Series /I-5V-0-5 for indoor level,
LS Series /O-5V-0-5 for outdoor light level and LS Series /S-5V-0-5 for skylight levels.
Input Polarity
• Each input can be assigned either normally open or normally closed polarity.
Assigning an Input to control an Output Group
• Any input can control any output.
• Multiple inputs can control the same output.
• Some inputs have higher priority than others see “Input Types” for details.
Output Flash
• Any output can be assigned to ash before turning off to warn the occupants that the lights will be turning off in the next
1-60 minutes. This feature is typically called Flash Warning.
• Outputs can be assigned to turn off with no Flash Warning. Do not select Output Flash for HID lighting that require time
to restrike after turning off.
Maintained Input Priority
• This feature provides the capability to set a hierarchy of exclusive control for maintained inputs that control an output.
• The four priorities are None, Maintained ON, Maintained OFF and Maintained ON/OFF.
• None Priority will provide no priority to the maintained input thus allowing
inputs or network commands to gain control of its associated output.
• Maintained ON Priority will gain control of its assigned output and not allow any other input or network command to
turn its assigned output off.
• Maintained OFF Priority will gain control of its assigned output and not allow any other input or network command to
turn its assigned output on.
• Maintained ON/OFF Priority will gain control of its assigned output and not allow any other input or network command
to turn its assigned output on or off. This is the highest priority.
View Current Input States
• With the use of LP-PK software and laptop or PC, the status of all the LRP Controller inputs can be reviewed at any time.
• Momentary inputs will display their on status only for the duration of the momentary closure.

Page 10
Number of Relays/Outputs
• This feature provides the capability to limit the number of outputs the LrP Controller will control.
• This value can be between 1-60 outputs (8 for the L28 Series Controller).
• The maximum number of outputs are determined by the LRP Controllers enclosure capacity and the number of outputs
installed in the enclosure
Group On-time After Flash
• Each output that is assigned to ash (see “Output Flash”) before automatically turning off will have an on-time after
ash value of 1-60 minutes in 1 second increments.
• All outputs use the same on-time after ash value per LRP Controller.
Output/Relay Energize Time
• The length of time the outputs coil is energized to change its state is programmable from .024 seconds to 1.56 seconds
in .012 second increments.
• This time is factory set for .072 seconds and typically should not be changed.
Assigning Outputs/Circuits to a Group
• LUMISYS uses a control strategy that requires all outputs to be assigned to one or more groups. Control is
accomplished at the group level so each controlled output needs to be assigned to a group.
• Each LRP Controller provides up to 60 groups
• A group can include one output or many outputs up to the LRP Controller maximum. See table 1 for a listing of
LRP Controllers and their maximum output capacities.
• If an application requires individual control of each output then assign each output to an individual group such as
output 1 to group 1, output 2 to group 2, etc. Many applications require multiple outputs to be turned on or off as a
group. Grouping eliminates the need to have a separate command for each output rather all of the groups outputs can
be controlled with one input or network command.
• If groups share the same output then the shared output will not turn off until all its groups are commanded off. For
instance, a common area lighting circuit may be connected to output 1. If output 1 is assigned to both group 1 and 2
then both groups must be commanded off before the common area lighting will turn off. If group 1 and 2 are on and a
command is issued to turn off group 1, output 1 will remain on because group 2 is on.
• Grouping is performed in the LRP Controller software so no hardwiring of outputs into groups is necessary.
Naming Groups and Super Groups
• Each group and Super Group can be named for identication purposes.
• Requires LP-PK 4.0, Group and Super Group names are saved in the LP-PK .lpx le not in the LRP Controller.
Assigning Groups to Super Groups
• A Super Group is a logical grouping of 2 to 59 groups. The word super is used to differentiate between the two group
types.
• Super Groups provide the capability to control multiple groups with one input or network command yet still allow
individual control of each group.
• For example, Super Group 1 can contain groups 2-5. A network command can be issued to turn off Super Group
1, which will turn off groups 2-5. However, an input assigned to group 4 can turn on group 4 without affecting groups
2,3 or 5. Super Groups provides a high degree of exibility.
• A Super Group can contain any group but the Super Group number itself. Super Group 1 can contain any group but
group 1.
• Super Groups contain two or more Groups.
• Groups containing one or more outputs.

Page 11
Serial On Priority
• Serial On Priority provides the capability to assign a network command priority over a Momentary Off, Momentary
On/Off, Input Timer Duration, On-Time After Flash or Maintained Input with None selected for Maintained Input Priority.
• Each Normal or Super Group has the option for Serial On Priority.
• The only conguration that has higher priority than a Serial On Priority is a Maintained Input with Maintained Input
Priority set to ON, Off or On/Off. These input congurations will turn the group off even if a network command
with Serial On Priority has been issued.
• Any Input Timers or Groups in the ash warning mode will be overridden by a network command with Serial On Priority.
Check Bad Relays/Circuits
• This feature will provide a list of outputs that might be misbehaving by not changing to the commanded state.
• This feature is only available on the L26 Series and RCS1000 LRP Controllers because these outputs contain an
auxiliary switch to indicate the status of the output.
• This feature can only be viewed through LP-PK.
Automatic Output Sequencing
• Each output in a group is sequenced rather than energizing all relays simultaneously.
• This minimizes large current draw typically required when energizing multiple outputs at once.
Manual Override of Outputs
• Each LRP Controller provides a pushbutton which toggles the state of all its outputs. It does not execute any input or
network command while in Manual Override.
• Press the pushbutton labeled OVER (or CH) (or ON for L28 Series) to override all outputs. Each time this pushbutton is
pressed all outputs will change state from on to off or off to on. You should hear the outputs change state
• Any commands issued to the outputs during Manual Override will be stored in the LRP Controller so each output will
return to the last commanded state once the AUTO (or BK) pushbutton is pressed.
• Manual Override mode will time-out in 10 minutes with no pushbutton button activity. Manual Override mode expiration
does not restore outputs to the last commanded state until AUTO (or BK) is pressed. Outputs will respond to new group
commands from network commands and inputs after the Manual Override mode has timed-out.
Return to Automatic control from Manual Override
• Pressing AUTO (or BK) Pushbutton refreshes/restores the LRP Controller from OVERRIDE to NORMAL operation. All
outputs will return to their state prior to the OVER (or CH) pushbutton being pressed or to the stored state caused by a
command being received during manual override, so you may hear outputs changing state.
• If the LRP Controller is not in Manual Override, pressing AUTO (or BK) toggles the view of the Group Status LEDs from
groups 1-30 to groups 31-60.
Setting or Viewing LRP Controller Network Address
• The LRP Controller network address can be set between 1 and 255.
• To set the LRP Controller network address press the AUTO (or BK) and STAT (OR TG) pushbuttons simultaneously.
• Be sure to disconnect the network while setting the LRP Controller network address.
