4 LCP128TM Setup and Maintenance Guide

Introduction

How to Use this Guide

This programming guide contains three main sections:

• Introduction - Includes system specifications, electrical contractor Start-Up Checklist, and an overview of the

controller and how to use it.

• Step by Step Programming Instructions - Walks you through each step needed to program your system.

• Reference Information - Includes additional procedures that you may need to perform after the system is

programmed, including how to override system settings and lock/unlock the controller. This section also includes
troubleshooting tips, system maintenance, a glossary of terms, and system planning tables.

When programming the LCP128 system, you will need to know the following key information:

• How many panels are in this system and how many circuits are in each panel.

• How many modules are in the system and the module types.

• What the load schedule is.

• Where each wallstation and key switch is located and what each button or key turn should do.

• What each contact closure input and output should do.

• What the time clock should do.

Please read the guide completely before attempting to program the system.

Tables are provided at the back of this guide to record the above information. Photocopy the tables as
needed, and leave them for the occupant after they are completed.

Note: For mounting and wiring information, refer to the LCP128 Installation Guide, Lutron P/N 032-150.

LCP128

TM Setup and Maintenance Guide 5

Introduction

System Specifications

LCP128 is a lighting control system designed for commercial buildings. It consists of up to 8 dimming panels
and up to 32 control stations. Control stations can be wallstations, key switches, contact closure input and
output devices (OMX-AV), contact closure output devices (OMX-CCO-8), or building management system
interfaces (OMX-RS232). All panels and control stations are connected by a digital communications link. Refer
to the LCP128 Installation Guide for wiring details. Other system specifications are described below.

Time Clock

• 7 weekly schedules.

• Up to 40 holiday schedules.

• Each holiday schedule can be 1-90 days.

• Up to 500 time clock events.

• Maximum of 25 time clock events per day.

• Up to 32 scenes and 1 Off scene.

• With each time clock event or control station input, you can select which circuits turn on or off and, for dimming
circuits, set specific dimming levels.

• Time clock events can occur at a fixed time of day or at a time relative to sunrise or sunset (astronomical).

• Events can be placed on either a weekly schedule (for example, occurring every Monday) or a holiday schedule
(for example, occurring only on January 1).

• Holiday schedules override weekly schedules.

• Time clock events can start and end afterhours mode. Afterhours is an energy saving mode where lights that
are set to be off will automatically, after a period of time, turn themselves off. Afterhours mode can be
temporarily overridden by any control station action. See STEP 5 for more information.

• Time clock events can enable and disable control stations.

Control Station - Wallstation

Wallstation buttons can be individually programmed to:

• Select a scene or custom scene. A scene is a combination of preset lighting levels used to automatically turn

on, off, or dim a circuit or group of circuits. Each time the wallstation button is pressed, the circuits go to the
programmed scene settings.

• Raise or lower circuits. Dimming circuits progressively raise or lower as long as the button is pressed. Circuits

stay at this setting until another event or control station input occurs.

• Toggle circuits on and off. Each press of the button alternates between turning the circuits on and off. If the

circuits are in a mixed state (some on and some off), the lights turn on.

• Turn off with a time delay. When the button is pressed, the circuits turn off after a preset amount of time.

• Enable or disable time clock.

Control Station - Key Switch

• The key switch (NTOMX-KS) can be programmed for clockwise and counterclockwise turns and with the same
functions as a wallstation button.

Control Station - Contact Closure Inputs

Two contact closure inputs are available on each LCP128 controller – more are available by purchasing a Lutron
OMX-AV control station (five inputs per OMX-AV that can be added anywhere on the digital control station link).

• The contact closure inputs can be programmed on the open and/or closure of the contact to perform the same
functions as a wallstation button.

R

6 LCP128

TM Setup and Maintenance Guide

Introduction

Control Station - Contact Closure Outputs

Contact closure outputs can be added with either a Lutron OMX-AV control station (five outputs per OMX-AV) or
with a Lutron OMX-CCO-8 (eight outputs per OMX-CCO-8). Either control station can be added anywhere on
the digital control station link.

• Each contact closure may be momentary or maintained.

• Each contact closure output can be assigned to an action that is programmed to a wallstation button, key turn,
contact closure input, time clock event, or emergency state.

Integration through RS232

The LCP128 system can be integrated with a building management system through the Lutron RS232 interface
(OMX-RS232).

Emergency Power Mode

When a LCP128 panel is placed into emergency power mode (loss of normal power), circuits are changed to
emergency settings and remain at those settings until the controller exits emergency power mode (return of
normal power). All control station inputs and time clock events are ignored while in emergency power mode.

Emergency power mode can be activated using:

• Panel to panel emergency sense line. This method requires that the system have at least two panels. The
system must have at least one normal (non-essential) feed panel and at least one emergency (essential) feed
panel. When power to the normal panel is interrupted, the emergency panel(s) will go into emergency mode.
Note that the normal / emergency switches at the bottom of the controllers need to be set correctly.

• The Lutron emergency lighting interface (LUT-ELI-3PH), a UL 924 listed device, senses the normal (non­essential) line voltage on all three phases (3PH) of normal power. When one or more phases of power are lost,
the LUT-ELI-3PH sends a signal to the LCP128 controller. If the LCP128 controller’s normal / emergency switch
is set to emergency, the emergency lighting scene or programmed circuit levels are activated.

For more information on emergency lighting applications, refer to Application Note #106. Available at
www.lutron.com.

Step by Step Programming Instructions

Overview

Programming your LCP128 system is done in seven steps.

1. Panel Configuration

This step selects a language for the controller LCD and configures the load setup. For multiple panel systems,
this step also assigns panel addresses and configures the number of circuits in each panel.

2. Time, Date, and Location

Required if the time clock will be used. This step shows how to set the clock.

3. Scene Modification

Required if changes to the default scene settings are needed.

4. Control Stations

Required if there is a remote wallstation, key switch, contact closure device, and/or RS232 device. This step is
performed to configure their function.

5. Time Clock Events

Required if the time clock will be used. This step is used to automatically dim or turn circuits on/off at either a
specific time of day or at a time relative to sunrise or sunset.

6. Panel Contact Closure Inputs

Required if the panel contact closure inputs are used. This step defines what each input will do.

7. Emergency Power Mode

Required if emergency lighting is needed when normal power is lost. Control station inputs and time clock
events are ignored while in emergency power mode. This step defines if the panel has emergency circuits and
how to configure the emergency lighting.

The following pages explain how to perform each of the programming steps.

STEP 1

Panel Configuration

To program a LCP128 panel, you need to:

• Choose a language for the controller LCD.

• Set the panel configuration, including:

• Panel address

• First circuit number in the panel

• Number of circuits in the panel

Each circuit in the system is identified by a system circuit number. This number will be used to identify the
circuit for programming purposes. For example, if Panel 1 has 12 circuits, the first circuit in Panel 2 will be
circuit 13 on the LCP128 controller. The figure below shows a sample system.

Note: If your system has only one panel, you do not need to set the panel configuration. The panel address,
first system circuit number, and number of circuits are preprogrammed. However, for multi-panel systems,
you must set the panel configuration from the master panel (address 1) and then from each remote panel.

• Configure the load setup, including:

• Module type setup

• System size

• Load type

• High end trim

• Low end trim

All system programming (covered in programming STEPS 2-7) is performed at panel address 1. In a multi-
panel system, panel address 1 becomes the master programming panel and all other panels are remote panels.
Remote panels have limited menu options and functionality.

Before proceeding with STEP 1, complete the Panel, Module Type, Load Type, and Control Station
Tables located at the back of this guide.

Load type options depend on the module type
assigned to the circuit:

Switching: Non-dim, DSI, 0-10V, DALI, PWM

Dimming: Incandescent, MLV (Magnetic Low

Voltage), Tu-Wire (ballasts), Neon, ELV (Electronic
Low Voltage), Non-dim, DSI, 0-10V, DALI, PWM

Motors: Motor

Fans: Fan

NNoottee::

Switching or dimming modules controlling
DSI, 0-10V, DALI, or PWM load types require
TVM(s).
