Automatic Load Control Relay (DIN)ETC®

Emergency Power Series
G E N E R A L I N F O R M A T I O N
The Automatic Load Control Relay (ALCR) is a UL 924 listed emergency device that is powered from an always-available normal/emergency source fed by an upstream emergency transfer switch. The ALCR provides power to emergency lighting load(s) by bypassing switches or other controls upon loss of utility power and ensuring a “lights on state” during loss of normal power while tracking the state of normal lighting loads during normal operation.
In the DIN rail mount model, the ALCR also includes a method of accomplishing the same emergency functionality for directly-controlled 0-10V fixtures or ballasts. An integral relay positively disconnects 0-10V control upon loss of utility power assuring a “lights-on” override for both line voltage and 0-10V controlled emergency fixtures.
APPLICATIONS• Conference centers• Hotels• Dorms• Office buildings• Government buildings• Restaurants• Schools• Houses of worship• Theaters
FEATURES• 120V and 277V power systems• Automatically activates lighting upon loss of normal power• Provides remote activation by dry contact closure for connection to a fire alarm or building management system• Additional control output connection to activate 0-10V controled fixtures• Configurable “return-to-normal” delay of 0-15 minutes • Simple installation; attaches to standard DIN rail for permanent installation • Maintenance-free
