Plug Load Controller PC-xx-20 (02787-02)
Diagram depicts Plug Load Controller Connections to both Switched and Unswitched Loads. Download PDF.
- The application shown below represents using the Plug Load Controller (PLC) to control switched portions of a wall receptacle circuit. The switched portion of these receptacles are controlled by the PLC communicating with the overhead sensors as part of the same Motion Group.
- Energy usage is metered and reported to the Enlighted Manage software for both the switched and unswitched portions of the PLC.
- The PLC is also capable of circuit level control of other types of electrical circuits subject to the load limits listed on the Electrical Ratings table shown below. This circuit level control can be accomplished by using occupancy inputs from sensors or by using a Time of Day profile programmed into the PLC.
- The total combined output Amps of both the switched and unswitched portions of the PLC cannot exceed the output rating of the switched portion of the PLC listed in the Electrical Rating table shown below.
- The PLC is a wireless device and it can not be installed inside a metal enclosure or underneath a raised floor. The PLC requires wireless communication with the Sensors and Gateway to function. Any metal or concrete structures between the PLC, Sensors and Gateway will negatively impact wireless communication.

Plug Load Controller with Contactor (02624-03)
Download PDF.
The line diagram below depicts the Plug Load Controller (PLC) with a third-party contactor to control large Loads. The Plug Load Controller output controls the coil of the contactor, and as a result, energy metering of the large loads is not possible. This solution can be used to control multiple lighting circuits when time clock control only is needed.
Note that the Plugload controller does not presently support an Astro clock, nor is it rated for outdoor use. Refer to the SU-5 and CU-4E with Contactors (03095-02) to control large load with a sensor and Control Unit combination and a contactor relay for the exterior outdoor lighting use case. Note that energy metering is not possible with the sensor and Control Unit combination.
