DESCRIPTION
The BZ-2xx series of power packs are the foundation for any low voltage lighting
control system. The BZ-2xx series supplies low voltage power to occupancy
sensors and other control devices, switching line voltage in response to signals
from control devices. The BZ-2xx series of power packs attach to existing junction
boxes or mount into fixture wiring trays.
Low voltage wiring should use at least 22-gauge wire. High voltage connections
should be appropriately sized for the breaker and load. Always check local
building codes. After initial wiring is complete, check wiring diagrams to verify the
power pack is wired correctly. Improper wiring can cause damage to the power
pack, lighting system, occupancy sensors, and other control devices.
INSTALLATION
WARNING
TURN POWER OFF AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER
BEFORE INSTALLING POWER PACKS OR SENSORS.
Wiring
1. Make sure power has been turned off at the circuit breaker.
2. Connect wires as shown in the wiring diagram below, or as shown in the

Installation Notes
1. Power packs should be installed in accordance with state, local and
national electrical codes and requirements.
2. Power packs are designed to attach to existing or new electrical enclosures
with 1/2 inch knockouts.
3. Most applications require UL listed, 18-22 AWG, 3-conductor, Class 2 cable
for low voltage wiring. For plenum return ceilings, use UL listed plenumapproved cables.
4. The BZ-2xx is a Class 2 Output Power Supply, suitable for parallel
interconnection of up to 4 units maximum. This power pack is UL Listed for
Interconnection of Power Sources in accordance with National Electric Code.
Note: The BZ series uses an AC power relay and is not typically suited for highimpedance DC or dry-contact applications.
OPERATION
Control From Inputs
With the BZ-200, BZ-250, and BZ-250-347, the load can be turned ON and OFF
automatically using an occupancy sensor input. The BZ-250 and BZ-250-347
provide additional functionality allowing for low voltage input control from a
timer, panel, or BAS input, and manually from an optional low voltage momentary
switch. See the section on Low Voltage Inputs for details.
Auto ON/Manual ON Slide Switch (BZ-250/BZ-250-347 only)
Use the Mode Switch to select either the Auto ON mode, or the Manual ON mode.
The mode will take effect within two seconds.
Auto ON (Mode Switch UP - default)
The occupancy sensor input, Hold ON input, and the optional momentary switch
input can all be used to turn ON the load.
When the load is turned OFF using the momentary switch, the BZ-250 and
BZ-250-347 do not turn it ON automatically until after the sensor time delay
expires. However, pressing the momentary switch before the sensor time delay
expires will turn the load ON.
When the occupancy sensor’s time delay expires, the BZ-250 and BZ-250-347
revert to Auto ON mode and turn the load ON with the next input from the
occupancy sensor.
Manual ON (Mode Switch DOWN)
Occupants must press the low voltage momentary switch to turn ON the load.
When the occupancy sensor is the only input keeping the load ON, the load turns
OFF when the sensor’s time delay expires. If the sensor input re-triggers within
30 seconds after the load turns OFF, the load turns ON again. After 30 seconds
expire with no sensor input, press the momentary switch to turn the load ON.

Local Manual Override Push Button
Press the button to manually toggle the power pack relay ON and OFF.
Power Loss Mode (BZ-250/BZ-250-347 only)
In the event of a power loss, this determines whether the loads will turn on, turn
off, or return to their previous state when power is restored. To set this, press and
hold the Local Manual Override Push Button for the amount of time shown in the
table below.

LOW VOLTAGE INPUTS
Four 5—30 VDC input wires are provided to control the load relay. The inputs may
be used in combination or individually, depending on the needs of the application.
See the WIRING section for wiring information.
Control Inputs:
Control ON (Blue wire) – This input is intended for occupancy sensor input.
• Applying 5—30 VDC closes the relay in Auto ON Mode.
• Remove the voltage and the relay opens if no other input is holding it closed.
Hold ON (Orange wire, BZ-250/BZ-250-347 only) – This input is intended for timer
or panel input.
• Applying 5—30 VDC closes the relay in Auto ON Mode.
• Remove the voltage and the relay opens if no other input is holding it closed.
• This overrides Control ON input.
Hold OFF (Brown wire, BZ-250/BZ-250-347 only) – This input is used for timer,
panel, BAS or load shed input.
• Applying 5—30 VDC opens the relay.
• Remove the voltage and the relay can accept any other input.
• This overrides Control ON and Hold ON inputs.
Momentary Input:
Manual ON/OFF (Grey wire, BZ-250/BZ-250-347 only) – This input is for a low
voltage momentary switch.
• Applying 5—30 VDC momentary input changes the relay to the opposite state.
• This overrides Control ON, Hold ON and Hold OFF inputs.

LOW VOLTAGE OUTPUT OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The BZ-2xx contains built-in short circuit and thermal protection circuitry that
shuts down the +24 VDC output (low voltage red wire) to prevent permanent
damage to the power pack. Removing the excess load from the output restores
the BZ-2xx to proper operation. Connect the excess load to another power pack.
Output is current limited. As the load increases, the BZ output will reach its
model-specific maximum output current. Under these conditions, the output
voltage may appear less then the nominal 24-V output and the BZ will indicate
the overload conditions with a continuously blinking LED (as described in the LED
Indicator section). In extreme cases, such as a dead short, the output voltage will
appear near zero but will automatically return to normal operating conditions
once the excess load is removed.
Call 800.879.8585 for Technical Support
LED INDICATOR
The LED on the left side of the BZ-2xx indicates the following conditions:
• LED OFF: no power to the BZ-2xx, or the +24VDC output is shorted.
• LED blinking continuously: current output limit is exceeded (too many
sensors are connected to the power pack); +24VDC output shut down.
• LED ON, blinks once every 3 seconds: the relay is open (load OFF).
• LED ON continuously: the relay is closed (load ON).
TROUBLESHOOTING
The lights came ON automatically after I deliberately turned them
OFF for a presentation.
• The BZ-2xx is set for the Auto ON Mode and the occupancy sensor time
delay expired. The BZ-2xx reverted to Auto ON and then motion was
detected.
▸▸ Consider increasing occupancy sensor sensitivity and/or time delay.
▸▸ Generate more motion during presentations.
The load does not turn ON with occupancy detection.
• Mode Switch is set to Manual ON.
• Hold OFF input is active.
The load does not turn OFF after sensor time delay expires.
•
•
•
•
Hold ON input is active.
Check sensitivity on the occupancy sensor.
Verify that the time amount is the intended amount.
Verify that the sensor is not being retriggered by unintentional movement
or byplacement too close to a an air vent.
The load does not respond when I press the momentary switch.
• Check wiring.
The load does not come on automatically although the Mode Switch is
set to Auto ON.
• Cycle power to the unit to reset operating mode to Auto ON. Mode Switch
location was changed while the power pack was powered (line voltage).
The load comes on automatically with occupancy although the Mode
Switch is set to Manual ON.
• Cycle power to the unit to reset operating mode to Manual ON. Mode Switch
location was changed while the power pack was powered (line voltage).
No LED activity as described above.
• Check for excessive load.
• Check AC power.
