This system capability eliminates the needfor changing the same schedule in multiple panelboardsand requiring additional wiring devices to be directlyconnected to specific controllers●● Eight digital inputs are available to accept dry-contactdevices such as wall stations, occupancy sensors, andphotocells●● Eight universal inputs can be programmed to accept eitherdigital or analog external devices. Compatible with dry-contact devices such as wall stations, occupancy sensors,and photocells when programmed as digital inputs. Whenprogrammed as 0–10 Vdc analog inputs, devices such asindoor and outdoor photo sensors can be connected fordimming and daylight harvesting applications●● Eight analog 0–10 Vdc outputs for control of fluorescentand LED lighting fixtures equipped with 0–10 Vdcdimming circuitry to meet dimming and daylightharvesting application requirements●● Downloadable firmware via Maintenance Port or Ethernetnetwork connection●● Compatible with existing PRC1000 systems using RS-485communications networkPRC2000/1500E controller additional features:●● Ethernet communications●● BACnet/IP communications protocol for integrating intobuilding management systems●● Compatible with existing PRC2000 systemsPRC2000E controller additional features:●● Remote access to preconfigured Web pages forprogramming, system monitoring, and override controlvia Ethernet network connection●● Remote controller access by connecting a PC toany controller Maintenance Port or PC connectedto the networkFigure 3 PRC-E Series Controller Low VoltageCompartmentA.
