The GreenMAX DRC System supports automatic configuration of systems such that when some basic conditions are met, the system will setup and automatically configure itself! This means that once the system is powered up and connected your system will work out of the box with no commissioning required. Of course you're welcome and encouraged to tweak configuration based on your unique needs but the intent of automatic configuration is to get you operational with the least amount of interaction possible. It can take up to 15 minutes for both automatic addressing and configuration to complete so after power-up, let it simmer a bit before testing operation.
Please refer to Details about Automatic Addressing for information about how device get their own unique address!
How is my system configured?
- All switches have functionality as per their labeling.
- Occupancy Sensors turn the lights on to 50% when occupancy is detected, and turn the lights off when vacancy is detected.
- Vacancy timeout is set to 30 minutes to occur in two stages,
- Light output reduction to 30% after 15 minutes, then
- Lights off after another 15 minutes.
- All lights in single daylight harvesting zone to a pre-determined set-point, and, minimum output set at 35%.
- AI Interfaces (DRID0)
- Port 1 - Occupancy Sensor
- Port 2 - No Configuration
How do I make changes?
Customization of automatic configuration can be made at any time using the GreenMAX DRC App. Connect to the room controller as you would normally. You will find all devices on the network in the devices section of the app as well as all parameters set to their default values!Pre-requisites for Automatic Configuration
In order for automatic configuration to be successful, the following system requirements must- All components must be LumaCAN wired components. Wireless components will not automatically configure
- A DRC Room Controller must be on the network. On systems without a DRC Room Controller, addresses and configuration must be set manually.
- All devices in the room must be LumaCAN digital devices, and connected via LumaCAN Category-6 cabling methods.
- All cables must be tested via a Category 6 cable tester, and confirmed sound prior to connection to any Leviton Equipment.
- All devices with address switches must have all of them in the off position.
- Each end of the LumaCAN network must be "terminated", with the termination switch/jumper/plug installed
- If multiple rooms are to work together, they must be interconnected via the WiFi network only.
- If there is more than one room controller on the network, the switches will control all devices on the network, however, Occupancy and Daylighting will not operate until the system can be commissioned using the GreenMAX DRC App.

Troubleshooting Automatic Configuration
Here are some common challenges you may bump into and the steps to resolve.| Behavior | Resolution |
|---|---|
| Press switch buttons, LED’s do not light up, light does not change No Power to switch. | Check all LumaCAN cabling as there is likely a problem. |
| Switch station LED’s do not change lighting, all LED’s blink once every two seconds Automatic configuration was not successful. | Ensure you have a room controller as part of the network, all devices are powered up, and LumaCAN cabling is sound. |
| Not all Smart Packs are controlled by the switch, sensor, etc. | Check wiring on the specific devices that are not functioning, it is likely that they are not powered up or are not connected to the network. 2. Check network termination. 3. Observe LED’s: - LumaCAN LED should be periodically blinking when traffic is on the line. If it does not blink, LumaCAN connectivity is problematic. - Heartbeat LED should be blinking green, 2x per second, indicating that Auto-Configuration has been completed. If not, checked power and network wiring. Also ensure a room controller is installed correctly and connected to the network. See LED behavior chart for more information. |
| All Smart Packs are controlled by switch/sensors and I need to split them up. | Congratulations, auto configuration has been successful! Your system can be split into different control zones using the GreenMAX DRC app. Please download it, connect to your room controller, and customize the system as is appropriate to your application. |
Default Switch Station Configuration
After automatic configuration is complete, all switch stations have configuration per their out-of-the box label. Here are some images showing the default labeling and some notes on how they are configured:- All fade times are 3 second unless otherwise indicated
- On/Off Buttons control the entire room to 100%/daylighting target or 0%
- Raise/Lower buttons increment/decrement the lights by 3% each press with 0 second fade time
- 1 - Lights to 80%
- 2 - Lights to 40%
- 3 - Lights to 15%
- 4 - Lights to 1%
