Save/Restore Program
The Save/Restore Program function allows the user to have a backed up version in the controller, save new programming for
documentation purpose or even gives the user the ability to program the CX Panel form the CX Congurator software and
Import the program into the CX Panel.
Save Back-up Program – This selection will save a copy of the current program into the CX Panel, only 3 slots are available.
This “Back-up” can always be accessed if changes are made and the user “just wants to get back to a saved setting that was
working”. An SD Card is not needed.
Restore Back-up Program – This selection takes the user to retrieve the “Back-up” saved previously.
Export Program - An SD Card must be inserted into the CX Panel. Using this feature allows the user the ability to download the
current programming into the before mentioned SD Card. This .cx le can be saved for documentation purposes or analyzed to
determine if the programming is complete.
Import Program – The CX Panel can be programmed via a CX Congurator programming tool available on the
www.Hubbell-Automation.com website. This program can be saved onto an SD card and inserted into the CX Controller. Once
inserted select Import Program, select the le desired and the le will be transferred into the panel and this program will be the
current program in the CX Panel.
Logging Feature – As long as a CX Panel has an SD card installed it is logging this le can be read as a text le. This is an
automatic feature whenever an SD card is present.
Priorities/Masking
When an ON or OFF event occurs, the affected relays are checked to see what input or schedule last put them into their current
state. If this opposite state’s priority is higher than that of the event, it is blocked. The exception is that any input or schedule can
override its own priority.
Priorities and Masking can be set in this section only after an Input or Schedule has been created through the Main Menu
choices. In this section the user can make changes to those selections.
Priorities Programming Guide
Priorities establish a HIERARCHY to the lighting control strategy, allowing for custom applications and some “if (this happens),
then (that can’t happen)” logic to be applied. Priorities can be assigned to any input command that controls a relay such as a
switch, a motion sensor, a photocell or a time schedule. While priorities are extremely powerful and useful, sometimes it can be
difcult to see how multiple priorities will interact and to see the effect these priorities may have on the lighting system control.
As a result, priorities should be used with caution and after some thought. You can contact Technical Support at 1 (888) 698-
3242 to check your prioritization scheme with Hubbell Building Automation prior to implementation.
General Concepts
There are four levels of priority for any command from an input such as a switch, motion sensor, photocell, or time schedule.
Available priorities, starting with the lowest level and progressing to the highest level are as follows: LOW, NORMAL, HIGH,
and MASTER.
• ON Priority: This eld allows for the ON Priority setting input. The priority selections are Low, Normal, High, and Master.
• OFF Priority: This eld allows for the OFF Priority setting for the input. The priority selections are Low, Normal, High and
Master.
Most control strategies will need no more than three of these priorities. All inputs and schedules are defaulted to the NORMAL
priority and can be changed through the User Interface keypad of the CX panel or via the CX PC-based program. All levels of
priority are available via the CX panel User Interface and the CX PC-based program.
