Overview, Introduction Overview Introduction The Z-MAX Remote Relay Panels, also referred to as Z-MAX Slave Relay Cabinets, are designed for remote installation and mounting where relay switching from 4 to 48 load circuits is desired, but control intelligence, programming, and interface to other systems is required at a central location.
Inspection Carefully unpack the relay cabinet, and inspect to make sure there is no hidden shipping damage. Report any damage to the freight carrier who delivered the system. Claims for damages are filed with the freight carrier. In case of damaged components, your relay cabinet may be serviced in the field with factory replacement parts.
Control Overview The Leviton Z-MAX remote relay cabinets use an intelligent central control card (Digital Main Control Module) and a dedicated system of networking wiring, allowing for control of the...
Conduit Entry Locations The cabinets have been designed with specific locations supporting conduit entry for line and low voltage circuits. There are specific areas of the cabinet which are restricted from some or all types of conduit access. Reference the Physical Installation section of this manual for specific details.
Overview, Turn On Warnings • To be installed and/or used in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and regulations. • To be installed by a qualified Electrician. • DO NOT CONNECT line voltage wires to low voltage terminals. • Mount in a location where audible noise is acceptable. •...
Installation Installation Checklist Install the cabinets by following these simple steps: Unpack the system Step 1: Report any damage to the freight carrier Step 2: If appropriate, remove any covers and/or doors Step 3: If appropriate, remove the mounting plate Step 4: assembly and store where damage will not occur to the electronics...

Step 1: Choose a location in a dry area that is convenient to the branch circuit panel. Leviton requires that cabinet mounting hardware Step 2: reach through the drywall to wall studs or other suitable solid backing. However, properly sized struts and suitable hardware can be used.
Master/Slave Network Topology, Master/Slave Network Topology There are some basic rules and requirements of Master/Slave networks which must be observed for your network to function. These rules are as follows: Specification Description Maximum End to End Run Length 1500 feet Maximum number of relays per network (Master + Slave) Maximum number of nodes on the...
Network Topology All Master/Remote panels must be connected in a daisy-chained fashion. For example, please consider the illustrations below: Category 5 or better wiring between cabinets 4 Relay Remote Cabinet 4 Relay Remote Cabinet 4 Relay Remote Cabinet 24 Relay Remote Cabinet 48 Relay Master Cabinet The right way - Daisy-Chain Wiring The wrong way - Star or other scheme...
Master/Slave Network Topology, Network Layout Planning previous section illustrated some technical requirements and physical layout for Master/Slave networks. When planning your network, it’s equally important when considering the numbering of relays. Relays are divided into two types: local and network. The local relays are the relays inside the master cabinet, and the network relays are the remote or slave cabinet relays.
Page 30
cabinet must be configured via USB to start at relay number 73. In summary: • Existing Master Cabinet with (48) relays, relay numbers 1-48 • Existing Remote Cabinet with (24) relays, relay numbers 49-72 • Added Remote Cabinet with (24) relays, relay numbers 49-96, must be reconfigured via USB since out of box the default setup is addressed to relay numbers 49-72 which would have been in conflict with the existing cabinet.
Relay Numbering Chart Leviton recommends that when planning your network, you fill out the chart on the following page, or other similar chart which you prefer to document your system. This completed chart should be stored with your master relay panel complete with the circuit schedules of all of the relay panels.

These two standards are often referenced as TIA- 568A & TIA-568B. Although either is acceptable so long as it is consistent throughout a project, Leviton recommends the use of only the TIA-568B standard. The only difference between the standards is what color wires 79terminate to each of the (8) RJ- 45 pins.
Read and understand the instruction by the crimpers manufacturer prior to use. Leviton offers a crimper as Leviton part number 47613-EZC. Termination All CAN based networks must be terminated at both ends. The Z- MAX Master/Slave network is no exception.

Occupancy Sensors, Occupancy Sensor Wiring Occupancy Sensors One of the control input types which your relay cabinet can accept is Occupancy Sensors. When using an occupancy sensor, the cabinet is expecting a DC voltage, between +9V & +24V to trigger an occupied state, or a floating input to indicate an unoccupied state.

Twist strands of each lead tightly (making sure that Step 2: there are no stray strands) and push firmly into appropriate plug connector location. Tighten the screws on the plug connector making Step 3: sure that no bare conductor is showing. Plug the connector back onto the control module.
Photocells, Photocell Wiring Photocells The relay cabinet is capable of supporting the following types of photocells: • Switched Photocell (On/Off, trigger point set at photocell) • 0-10V Photocell The configuration and behavior of your photocell is set via software and discussed elsewhere. This seciton only covers installation.

Note: If your switching photo- AC Power cell requires +24VDC power, this power can be sourced from Switch Leg PhotoCell the cabinet just like a 0-10VDC photocell. The switch legs should still be between COM & Switch Leg IN terminals Note: Switch Legs must be completly isolated from Photocell AC power and...
