Step 2: Control power wiring
The Energi Savr Node unit operates at 120-277 V . Use the
following instructions to wire line voltage to power the Energi
Savr Node unit.
WARNING! Danger of Shock. May result in serious
injury or death.DONOTWIREWHENLIVE!Switchoff
power to all power feeds via circuit breaker before wiring
or servicing the Energi Savr Node unit.
Buttons and LEDs in the unit are used for programming
and troubleshooting. If wiring is exposed when accessing
buttons and LEDs, the unit must be accessed by a certied
electrician, following local codes.
1.Remove metal outer panel cover.
2.Remove internal plastic line voltage shield.
3.Use 14 AWG to 12 AWG (2.5 mm2to 4.0 mm2) conductors (de-
pending on breaker rating) to feed the control power wiring. The
Energi Savr Node unit draws less than 0.5 A.
4.Wire the line voltage cables to the terminals labeled H (Hot) and
N (Neutral). A two-position terminal block is provided.
5.The Energi Savr Node unit is grounded through the ground bar.
Attach the ground wire.
6.Reinstall internal plastic line voltage shield.
7.Turn on the circuit breaker to power up the Energi Savr Node
unit. The ‘Wired’ LED on the Energi Savr Node unit will light
when properly energized. If the LED does not light, turn off
power, then check the control power wiring.
8.Turn power off.

codes.
QS link communication uses NEC®Class 2/PELV wiring. Follow
all local and national electrical codes when installing NEC Class
2/PELV wiring with line voltage wiring.
The total distance of the QS link wiring must not exceed 2000 ft
(610 m).

Check for compatibility in your area.
A QS system can have up to 100 zones and 100 devices. The
Energi Savr Node unit counts as 1 device and up to 4 zones.
See diagram on the right for QS link wiring.
1.Connect terminals 1, 3 and 4 to all Energi Savr Node units.
2.Each Energi Savr Node unit has its own built-in power supply.
3.The terminal 2 connection (24 V ) supplies power to QS de-
vices sharing that connection.
– Ensure that QS devices powered from terminal 2 of the Energi
Savr Node unit do not consume a combined total of more
than 14 Power Draw Units (PDUs).
– Refer to the documentation for each QS device to determine
that device’s PDU consumption.
NOTE: To connect extra QS devices, use a separate power
supply (24 V ), and only connect COM, MUX, and MUX to the
devices connected to the Energi Savr Node unit.
4.Wiring may be daisy chained or t-tapped.
Power draw calculations are not needed for wireless sensors or
sensors connected directly to the Energi Savr Node units.
