GPF 8-4 WIRING OVERVIEW Typical Load Circuit () Red Tips! You wire the GPF 8-4 similar to wiring a lighting distribution panel. You run feed and load wiring. No other wiring or assembly required. Common Neutrals are not permitted. Run separate Neutrals for each load circuit. You can use the GPF 8-4 to provide temporary lighting. Wire all loads. Do not remove the bypass jumpers that protect the Dimming Modules. Use Branch Circuit Breakers to switch lights on and off.

LOW-VOLTAGE CLASS (PELV) WIRING (ALL MODELS) Pull low-voltage type Class wiring for system communications. Must be daisy-chained! Must run separately from line (mains) voltage. Series 4000 GRAFIK Eye Total length of Control Link may be no more than,000 ft. (60m). Dimming Panel Control Unit Control Interface Wallstations Panel-to-Panel wiring Include one extra #8AWG (.0mm ). Used as a sense line for emergency (essential) lighting. Class (PELV) wiring link has: Two # AWG (.5mm ) conductors for control wiring. One shielded, twisted pair #8 AWG (.0mm ) for data link. GRAFIK 5000/6000 Systems Class (PELV) wiring links for system communications can be up to 4000 feet (0m): Use the -RPTR Interface and GRX-CBL-46L cable for links between 000 feet (60m) and 4000 feet (0m).

Used as a sense line for emergency (essential) lighting. User Interface Link to PC Wallstation Links Each Class (PELV) has: Two # AWG (.5mm ) conductors for control wiring. One shielded, twisted pair #8 AWG (.0mm ) for data link. If you use Lutron cable, you can use smaller-gauge wires. If a Class (PELV) wiring link is less than 500 feet (5m), you can use GRX-CBL- 346S: - Two #8AWG (.0mm ) for control wiring. - One twisted, shielded pair #AWG (.65mm ) for data link. - No sense line included - add your own #8AWG (.0mm ). If a Class (PELV) wiring link is 500 to 000 feet (5 to 60m), you can use GRX- CBL-46L: - Two #AWG (.5mm ) for control wiring. - One twisted, shielded pair #AWG (.65mm ) for data link. - One #8AWG (.0mm ) for sense line between Panels. Lutron has also approved smaller-gauge cable from Belden, Liberty, Alpha, and Signature. Ask for Lutron GRAFIK Eye Cable.

This sense line allows an Emergency (Essential) Lighting Panel to sense when Normal (Non-Essential) power is lost. If more than one Emergency Lighting Panel needs to sense off a specific Normal Panel. You may have to run a dedicated wire between each pair of Normal (Non-Essential) and Emergency (Essential) panels.. Shield/: Connect shielding as shown.
