OVERVIEW
The nLight nSP5 PCD Series Secondary Relay and Dimming Pack is capable of switching and dimming
incandescent lighting loads, certain line voltage dimmable uorescent lighting loads, magnetic low voltage
(MLV) lighting loads, and electronic low voltage (ELV) lighting loads. Manual switching and adjustment of
the dimming level is possible via WallPods or through the nLight SensorView software. The nSP5 PCD’s two
RJ-45 connectors make control wiring with standard CAT-5 cabling quick and easy. For mounting, the nSP5
PCD has an elongated chase nipple that allows it to be attached either directly through a ½” knockout onto
a junction box, or to an adjacent box for meeting specic local code requirements in ceiling plenums.
SWITCHING & DIMMING OPERATION
The nSP5 PCD performs phase cut dimming (either forward or reverse depending on model) of the line
voltage being supplied to a 120 VAC incandescent (tungsten) load, a 120/277 VAC dimmable uorescent
(ballast) load, a 120/277 VAC magnetic low voltage (inductive) load, or a 120 VAC electronic low voltage
(non-inductive) load. The nSP5 PCD 2W version dims the switched line voltage connection going to a
2-wire dimming ballast or incandescent lamp. The nSP5 PCD MLV version is designed to dim low voltage
lighting powered by an inductive (magnetic) transformer. Similarly the nSP5 PCD ELV version is designed
to reverse phase dim electronic low voltage loads. The nSP5 PCD 3W dims the dedicated dimming input to
a 3-wire dimming ballasts. All versions have an internal latching relay that switches the loads (see electrical
specications). Note, that in order to function the nSP5 PCD must be connected as part of an adequately
powered nLight zone as the unit does not power itself from the line voltage it is switching/dimming.
