ILC Apprentice II Programmable Lighting Control

The next generation ILC Apprentice II programmable lighting control panel is redesigned with the best in mind. Network up to 48 control points and up to 32 LightSyncTM devices via RJ-45 ports, connect to your PC via a on-board USB 2.0 port and control via Apprentice II Pro software these are just a few of the updates built into the ILC Apprentice II. Add-on cards are easy to install and add capabilities like DMX control, N2, Modbus, BACnet, LonWorks, TCP/IP, Modem interface, and DTMF telephone switching. The ILC Apprentice II lighting control panel retains the same friendly interface, solid reliability, the flexibility to easily comply with energy codes and ships complete.

Comprehensive User Guide

The ILC Apprentice II has a complete User Guide which contains the required information for proper installation and programming

Relay Groups

Relays may be assigned to any of 48 available groups or presets
Relay groups may be assigned to multiple Timers, Switch Inputs, and other panel functions simplifying programming

Relay Presets

Relays may be programmed to any of 48 presets available
Presets may be controlled by Switch Inputs and Timers

Open/Close Times

Lighting Control Schedules may adjust based on business (retail) Open/Close hours
Seven standard Open/Close times and 365 custom daily Open/Close times available
Scheduled event may be programmed to occur before, after or at Open/Close times

Relay Functions

Each relay may be programmed for ON only, OFF only or ON/OFF control
HID multilevel control (specialized output control for multilevel HID ballasts including warm-up sequence)

Switch Types

The ILC Apprentice II may be programmed to accept virtually any type of switch input, momentary or maintained
Easy direct connection to motion and photo sensing devices via dry contact input
Override inputs can Force ON, Force OFF or Hold Status any relay or group of relays
Input disable based on time of day

Switch Input to Relay Output Mapping

All switch to relay settings are completely soft, requiring no field rewiring when changes are required
Any switch can control any combination of 1 to 48 relays

Automatic Power-Up Settings

Relays may be programmed to automatically return ON or OFF after a power outage

After Hours Sweeps

Individual relay or groups of relays may be programmed to be swept OFF during non-operational hours

Daylight Saving Time Adjustment

Automatic adjustment for daylight saving changes (may be enabled or disabled from keypad or software)

Astronomical Clock

Automatic calculation of Sunrise and Sunset based on date and geographic position
Scheduled events may be programmed to occur before, after or on an astro event

Blink Alert

Prior to a scheduled OFF event, lighting loads programmed for a Blink Alert will be momentarily turned OFF then back ON to alert occupants. To avoid the pending OFF sweep, the user simply turns their local switch ON again during the adjustable period (default is 5 min.) prior to the OFF sweep.

Add-On Modules

Easy to install add-on modules for applications requiring DMX512, Modbus, N2, BACnet, LonWorks, TCP/IP, Modem serial communications and DTMF telephone switching.

Options

Additional switch input board(s).
Add-on Modules: easy to install modules for applications requiring DMX512, Modbus, N2, BACnet, LonWorks, TCP/IP, Modem serial communications and DTMF telephone switching.
