Introduction

4-Relay Mini Panel

8-Relay Mini Panel

Welcome to the installation and user operation manual for the Unison Foundry Mini Panel.
This manual contains the procedures for safe and efficient installation of the Mini Panel.

The Mini Panel is designed for 120–277VAC, 47–63 Hz installations and provides switching
with fully isolated 0–10V dimming of four or eight zones with integrated 0–10V dimming
control per output, all in a compact, surface-mount enclosure.

Two models are available:

• 4 relays with Demand Response input, UL 924 control bypass contact input and sense feed

• 8 relays with Demand Response input, UL 924 control bypass contact input and sense feed

You can manually override
each relay on or off.

• Slide the relay switch left to
turn on

• Slide the relay switch right
to turn off

Note:

Introduction 1

If you manually override a relay when DMX is present, the relay will remain in its
overridden state until DMX control is reasserted (when the DMX control level crosses
the control threshold again).

Features and Specification

Mini Panels are designed for indoor use only!

The Mini Panel features:

• Either four or eight mechanically latching relays. Relays are rated for the following load types:

- 100,000 cycles of 20A resistive load

- 30,000 cycles of 20A tungsten load at 277 VAC

- 30,000 cycles of standard ballast at 20A, 120 or 277 VAC

- 30,000 cycles of electronic ballast at 16A, 120 or 277 VAC

• Either four or eight 0–10V outputs with current sink of 100 mA

• Dry contact closures for UL 924 control bypass and Demand Response control input

• Integrated sense feed for UL 924 control bypass

Codes and Standards

The Mini Panel meets or exceeds the following regulatory standards:

• UL 916 for energy management equipment

• UL 924 for emergency lighting and power equipment

• UL 2043 for installation in air-handling (plenum) spaces

Important Safeguards

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed
including the following:

• Do not use outdoors.

• Do not mount near gas or electric heaters.

• Equipment should be mounted in locations and at heights where it will not readily be subjected
to tampering by unauthorized personnel.

• The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe
condition.

• Do not use this equipment for anything other than its intended use.

• Operation and servicing by qualified personnel only!

Prepare for Installation

Inspect the Shipment

Before you begin installation, check your shipment and confirm that it arrived complete and
undamaged.

1: Check the shipping box for physical damage.

• If you find damage, document it to help with a claim against your shipper.

2: Inspect the order for completeness.

• Check the box contents received against the packing list to ensure that your order received is
complete.

• If you discover a problem with the contents of the shipment, contact ETC Technical Services
at the location nearest you. See

Main Circuit Breaker Protection

Before beginning installation of your Mini Panel, make sure you have installed a main circuit breaker
cabinet or other readily accessible input power disconnect device.

When more than one power source is supplying the Mini Panel, a voltage separator may be required by
local code. This voltage divider is an accessory option, sold separately, and available for use when local
code requires. Order ETC part number 7187A4021.

WARNING:

Mini Panel circuits installed without an accessible power disconnect device
cannot be serviced or operated safely.

Installation Environment

Follow these guidelines for the installation environment:

• Intended for surface wall mounting. The installation location and the mounting hardware must
support at least 20 lb (9 kg).

• Install the enclosure in a location where it will not be subject to tampering or vandalism.

• For indoor use only! Operates at ambient temperature between 0°C–40°C (32°F–104°F), dry
room 5–90% non-condensing relative humidity.

• The Mini Panel is rated for installation in a plenum space.

Note:

Always follow applicable building and local electrical code requirements when
installing this equipment.

Tools and Supplies

High voltage Low voltage

Low voltageHigh voltage

The following tools and supplies are required for installation but are not included with the Mini Panel.

• Mounting hardware: four mounting bolts or screws

Note:

Both the installation location and the mounting hardware must support a fully
installed unit (including conduit and cable), which weighs approximately 20 lb (9 kg).

• Set of screwdrivers, including both flat-blade and Phillips-head types

• Conduit and supporting hardware

• Insulation stripping tool

• Appropriately sized wire nuts or WAGO

• Small 4–6” (10–15 cm) cable ties

Conduit Access

Take care to separate high voltage power from low voltage (Class 2) control wiring. Use the knockouts
on the top and bottom of the enclosure for conduit access into the unit. You can create additional
conduit access using a knockout punch as needed.

• High voltage wires: Left side (top or bottom) of the enclosure

• Low voltage wires: Right side (top or bottom) of the enclosure

Note:

All low voltage (Class 2) control cables must run in separate conduit from high
voltage power wires. To maintain the integrity of the voltage separation, use the
provided voltage barrier inside the enclosure to separate all low voltage components
from the high voltage power.
