WHY LIGHTING CONTROL?
Lighting is the largest single consumer of electric power in a typical building,
often exceeding 30% of the total energy cost. The main function of an intelligent
lighting control system is to provide light, where and when it’s needed and to
while reduce lighting in unoccupied areas.
By controlling lights during non-occupancy periods, energy costs associated
with lighting can often be reduced by over 50%. That’s why lighting control is so
important. In addition, lighting control helps defer replacement costs of lamps
and ballasts by reducing the number of annual burn hours.
Many building codes now require the use of lighting controls to reduce energy
consumption. Meeting such requirements, while still creating a comfortable and
productive workspace, requires an intelligent lighting control system.
The Solution—Square D ® Powerlink ® G3
For many designers, the engineering of a suitable lighting control system has
become a daunting task. The designer must balance space constraints,
equipment and installation costs, and maintenance and operational concerns,
while ensuring a code-compliant installation. Fortunately, the Square DPowerlink G3 Lighting Control System is the solution for all of these concerns.
This system addresses these concerns by:
• Using standard lighting panelboards: Square D is the only manufacturer
that offers a lighting control system that mounts in a standard lighting
panelboard. All Square D Powerlink G3 components mount in the panel just
like a standard circuit breaker. Documenting your control system layout is as
simple as indicating which branch circuits are to be controlled.
• Saving space: Since the lighting control system is located inside the
lighting panelboard, valuable wall and floor space is available for more
productive uses. Square D also offers space-saving, column-width
panelboards and flexible modular panelboard systems.
• Complying with codes: With today’s high available fault currents, it’sextremely important that your system meets code requirements. The
Square D Powerlink G3 system is fully UL Listed and meets NEC 110.10 and
409 requirements.
• Daylight Saving Time: Square D Powerlink G3 Controllers are designed
with Daylight Saving Time (DST) feature to conform to local DST regulations.
When the DST feature is enabled, one hour is automatically added to the
current local time at 2:00 a.m. on the designated DST starting date. Similarly,
one hour is subtracted at 2:00 a.m. on the DST ending date.

SQUARE D ® POWERLINK ® G3 CONTROLLERS
Hardware Description
Square D Powerlink G3 Controllers provide the interface and logic necessary
for the operation of the entire control system. These devices monitor inputs,
convey circuit breaker and system status, execute time schedules, handleserial communications, and allow system configuration from the front panel
keypads or through serial connection. The controller mounts in the panel
interior across from the power supply and occupies the top three adjacent pole
spaces. Each controller can control up to eight control buses connected to its
subnet. Controller features include:
• an LED (500 level) or LCD (1000, 2000, and 3000 level controllers) display
for local setup and diagnostics; LCD versions include a back-lit display for
viewing in dark locations
• front-panel keypad access to the configuration and system status; keys can
be locked out via software command or by a password
• convenient front panel RS-232 serial port for connecting a laptop computer
to the system to download software or upgrade firmware
Controller operating programs and configurations are stored in non-volatile
RAM, ensuring the program will be retained, even when the controller is
removed from the panel. All Square D Powerlink G3 Controllers feature the
unique ability to receive firmware upgrades without replacing programming
chips. Firmware upgrades can be made locally or over the network.
External Control Inputs
Square D Powerlink G3 Controllers accept commands from both dry-contact
inputs and serial communications. Typical control devices include low voltage
pushbutton wall switches, occupancy sensors, photo sensors, card access,
and building automation systems.
Terminals on the controller allow connection to external control devices. The500 level controllers can accept up to eight separate control inputs, while the
1000, 2000, and 3000 level controllers can accommodate either eight 3-wire or
sixteen 2-wire inputs. All controllers provide 24Vdc control power (NEC Class
2) for sensing input contact status. Input types include:
• maintained NO (normally open with or without blink)
• maintained NC (normally closed with or without blink)
• momentary toggle/maintained toggle
• momentary on/momentary OFF
• dual momentary
Controller inputs can be configured for status feedback to operate pilot lights or
actuate other control equipment. A total maximum current of 60mA at 24Vdc is
available to eight status outputs.
Input timers, with settings from 1 second to 18 hours, can also be incorporated
into the input configuration to provide timed override control. For a complete
discussion of inputs, refer to Data Bulletin 1210DB0001, Typical Input
Configurations for Square D ® Powerlink ® G3 Systems .

Time Scheduler
All 1000, 2000, and 3000 level controllers feature a flexible on-board time
scheduler. The clock circuit incorporates the latest technology to compensate
for clock drift. Capacitor backup ensures that the correct controller time is
maintained during power outages for up to 30 days.
The following time scheduling events are provided:
• sixteen independent time schedules, each with 24 ON/OFF daily periods
• day-of-week calendar (7 day repeating)
• special date periods; each period can be set for a single event, to repeat over
a specified period, or to repeat perpetually. Periods can be set to repeat
every:
— week, by day
— month, by day or date
— year, by day or date
— “n” days
• sunrise/sunset tracking by geographic location (northern or southern
hemisphere), including configuration +/– offsets
• unique network time synchronization service (2000 and 3000 level
controllers); the controller is automatically synchronized by a network time
server
Logic for Control Sources
The 500 level system allows multiple Square D Powerlink G3 circuit breakers to
be programmed or “mapped” to a particular input. One input can control up to
168 circuit breakers connected to the system’s subnet. Circuit breakers can be
shared between inputs to create overlapping zone configurations. When a
circuit breaker is shared between multiple zones, its commanded remote state
will follow the “OR” status of the inputs. Configurations of this type are
extremely useful in egress areas where lighting is shared among differentlighting zones.
The 1000, 2000, and 3000 level systems include the ability to combine inputs
with schedules to provide a powerful control solution. Up to 16 zones can be
configured and independently controlled by either a dedicated input or time
schedule.
By default, each zone has a dedicated input and time schedule configured for
“OR” operation. This type of configuration is ideal for interior lighting zones
where a timed override is needed during non-scheduled time periods.
However, the configuration can be changed to an “AND” configuration for
specific purposes such as disabling photo sensors during specific time periods.
Boolean combination logic, or COMBO logic, allows different types of Boolean
operators to be used together to determine how the zone will combine
assigned sources. The controller provides a simple, sentence-type
programming screen for defining a logic expression for the zone.
LAST EVENT logic can be configured to determine how the zone will respond
to a change in the state of a control source.
1000, 2000, and 3000 level controllers also provide a synchronization feature
that allows inputs to be synchronized with other inputs, time schedules, or
zones. This keeps inputs in sync with one another and provides the ability to
change the behavior of the switch, depending on the operating schedule.

Variable Sources
Both 2000 and 3000 level controllers have a variable source capability. This
capability allows support for up to four user-selectable control sources per
zone. A source can be any schedule, any input, any zone, or any remote
source.
Remote Sources
Remote Sources is a unique feature available in the 2000 and 3000 level
controllers. The remote sources feature lets one controller share a control
source from another controller in a peer-to-peer configuration. A common
application of the remote source feature is the sharing of an input. Listed below
are a few common examples of how an input can be shared among 2000 or
3000 level controllers:
• controllers sharing one input for a lighting zone served by multiple panels
(example: a factory department with a local override)
• controllers sharing multiple inputs to control a zone from multiple locations
(example: gymnasium lights with a switch at each entrance)
• all controllers sharing one input to control all zones (example: a contact closure from a security system or fire alarm)
• controllers sharing one input to control selected zones
(example: a cleaning crew switch in which half the lights come on)
• control and annunciator panel that can control and show remote status of
selected zones from multiple controllers (example: prisons)
Auxiliary Power
All Square D Powerlink G3 controllers feature an auxiliary power post for
powering external control devices. This auxiliary supply can furnish up to

SQUARE D ® POWERLINK ® G3 POWER SUPPLY
The Square D Powerlink G3 Power Supply provides power to operate the
controller, control buses, and remotely operated circuit breakers. The power
supply attaches to an NF Panelboard interior in the same manner as a standard
3-pole circuit breaker.
The power supply derives its power from the panelboard interior bus and
converts the line voltage into two separate supplies: one supply furnishes the
controller with a 24Vdc, Class 2 source; the other supply furnishes the control
bus and subnet with a 24Vdc, Class 1 source.
An optional type of power supply, furnished with primary leads, is available for
use with a separately derived primary power source. This option is often used
in applications where the system must remain operational during power
outages. In such applications, the external leads are connected to an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or alternate power source.
In 20-inch wide panels, the power supply is always located in the upper left-
hand corner of the interior. The controller is mounted adjacent to the power
supply on the right-hand side.
Features
• Attaches to panelboard interior, occupies three adjacent pole spaces.
• External lead for connection to panel neutral.
• Modular connectors provide secure plug-in connections for connection to
left-hand side control bus and controller.

Square D ® Powerlink ® G3 Lighting Control SystemsRemotely Operated ECB-G3 Circuit Breakers
2101/07 © 2007 Schneider Electric All Rights Reserved
REMOTELY OPERATED ECB-G3 CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Square D Powerlink G3 remotely operated circuit breakers are designed
for installation in Square D NF Lighting Panelboards as part of the
Square D Powerlink G3 Lighting Control System. These circuit breakers
provide the same overcurrent protection as found in standard circuit breakers.
The Best in Remote Operation
• Robust 24Vdc motor and highly effective trip mechanism provide unequaled
remote operation capability in terms of compact size, electrical ratings, and
mechanical life.
• Motor and drive train can open and close the contacts when the circuit
breaker handle is in the ON position.
• Contacts cannot be closed remotely when the handle is in the OFF position
or the circuit breaker is tripped.
• Manual override selector located on the front of the circuit breaker –
extremely useful when manual lighting control is critical or when a loss of
control features occurs.
• In manual mode, the motor drive train is disconnected from the contact,allowing the circuit breaker handle to operate the contacts like a conventional
circuit breaker.
• Contact status indication – provided by a sensing circuit that determines the
presence or absence of voltage on the load side terminal of the circuit
breaker; this superior capability assures the true status of the branch circuit
is reflected back to the remote location.
Tripping System with True RMS Sensing
• Square D Powerlink ECB-G3 circuit breakers – have a permanent trip unit
that contains a factory preset thermal (overload) trip element and a magnetic
(short circuit) trip element in each pole.
• The thermal trip element – true RMS sensing and is calibrated to carry thecontinuous current rating of the circuit breaker at 40°C (140°F) free air
ambient temperature.
• In accordance with the National Electrical Code – Square D Powerlink ECB-
G3 circuit breakers are intended to be applied at up to 80 percent of their
continuous current rating.
Operating Mechanism with VISI-TRIP ® Indicator
Square D Powerlink ECB-G3 circuit breakers have an over-center toggle
mechanism that provides quick-make, quick-break operation and the unique
VISI-TRIP ® circuit breaker trip indicator. The operating mechanism is trip-free,
which means the circuit breaker will trip even though the operating handle may
be restricted to the ON position. Without any restrictions, the operating handle
moves to a position between ON and OFF when the circuit breaker is tripped.An internal crossbar provides common tripping of all poles on 2- and 3-pole

ECB-G3EL Remotely Operated Circuit Breakers forEmergency Lighting Circuits
Identifying the proper controls for a lighting system can be a daunting task. Cost,
space considerations, energy codes, desired operation, and National Electrical
Code ® (NEC) code compliance must all be considered when specifying a
system. Often, controls for emergency lighting systems are also required whichfurther compounds the complexity of the control system.
Square D ® Powerlink ® ECB-G3EL circuit breakers relieve much of the burden
associated with designing such control systems. These UL listed circuit
breakers provide a means to comply with the requirements of the NEC,
700.12(E). The circuit breaker contains both a remotely operated switched
circuit for controlling the luminaires, and a manually operated unswitched
circuit, which provides power to the unit emergency equipment’s charging and
detection circuit. Both circuits are electrically tied to the same source via a
single common bolt-on connection that receives its supply from the panelboard
bus.
Both circuits of the ECB-G3EL breaker contain a thermal-magnetic trip
mechanism that protects their associated conductors from overcurrent. The
circuit breaker provides a common trip function ensuring that both circuits will
open whenever a fault occurs on either of the circuits. It also provides a
common handle tie to ensure that both circuits are manually switched together.
Square D Powerlink ECB-G3EL circuit breakers incorporate many of the same
robust features as other Square D Powerlink ECB-G3 breakers including:
• Handle Rating: 20A (both switched and unswitched circuits)
• Maximum Voltage Rating: 480Y/277Vac
• Interrupting Ratings: 65kA at 240Vac, 14kA at 480Y/277Vac
• Maximum Series Connected Ratings: 200KA at 240Vac and 100kA at
480Y/277V
• Rated Endurance On/Off/On cycles: 200,000 operations
• Breaker status viewing window for both circuits• Auto/manual override selector for the remotely operated circuit
• UL listed Switch Duty Rated (SWD) and High Intensity Discharge (HID)
ratings
• Lug wire size: (1) #12-8Al, #14-8Cu per circuit, 169°F (75°C) conductors
• No breaker pigtails or other externally mounted hardware
