The LightLEEDer EVO-INT Relay Panel is a microprocessor-based programmable lighting controller designed for commercial applications. It offers networking capabilities, allowing individual controllers to be linked together to form local or wide area networks, functioning as a single interface. The panel is UL and FCC approved.
Function Description
The LightLEEDer EVO-INT Relay Panel provides intelligent control over lighting loads. It integrates a controller board and an output board within a single enclosure. The controller board manages relays, monitors inputs, and facilitates communication. The output board houses the relays, power supply, and wiring terminals for line, load, neutral, and 0-10V dimming connections. Users can program each of the controller's inputs or data line devices to control any or all of the relay outputs.

- Voltage Rating (LV): 16AWG Copper Conductor rated 75 Deg. C. Torque: 1.7 LB/IN.
- Dimming Circuits: All Class 2 0-10V Dimming Circuits should use Type CL3, CL3P, CL3R, or equivalent conductors.
Environmental Considerations:
- Operating Temperature: 0 to 50° C (32°-122°F).
- Humidity: 10 to 90% non-condensing.
- Atmosphere: Non-explosive/corrosive.
- Installation: Stationary.
Network Cable Run Distance Detail (LightSync™ Network):
- Total Data Line Overall Distance: May not exceed 3000 feet without a Power Supply Repeater (PSR). A PSR extends the data line.
- Total Number of Devices (ILC panels and LightSync devices): 32 without a PSR. A PSR adds 31 more devices (PSRs count as a device).
- Total Number of LightSync Devices Powered: A controller panel can power its maximum LightSync devices without a Power Supply (PS), PSR, or LightSync Hub. Each PS, PSR, or LightSync Hub can power up to 20 additional LightSync devices.
- Total Power Cumulative Distance: May not exceed 2000 feet if powered by an ILC panel, or 3000 feet if powered by a PS, PSR, or LightSync Hub.
- Cable Type: Standard Category 5, 5E, or 6 cable with RJ45 connectors. Plenum-rated cable required for plenum runs. Underground-rated cable with a 12AWG solid Cu wire grounded at one end and surge suppressors for underground runs.
LightSync EVO-4X/8X Expansion:
- Capacity: The LLEVO-INT can operate up to 20 total relays, including on-board relays.
- Connection: Connects to the "Local" port of the LLEVO-INT Controller to the "In" port of the first 4X/8X board, and the "Out" port to each subsequent LightSync device.
Usage Features
- Programmability: Microprocessor-based, allowing flexible programming of inputs and data line devices to control relay outputs.
- Networking: Supports local area networks (LAN) and wide area networks (WAN) with up to 254 panels using a network controller. Panels and LightSync devices connect via standard CAT-5 cable with RJ45 connectors.
