G3 product line offers a simple, cost-effective means for controlling branch
lighting circuits. Five distinct systems provide a variety of capabilities to meet virtually any need.
500 Level System
• Designed to be used in conjunction with other control devices such as:
External time clocks, access readers, occupancy sensors, or other building systems.
• Control devices provide either dry-contact closures or digital serial communications.
• Incorporates internal programmable timers.
• Controller responds to commands from control devices by automatically switching a programmed group of
lighting circuits.
1000 Level System
• Includes all the features of the 500 level system, Plus:
• Incorporates a exible time scheduler that eliminates the need for external time clocks. Includes many control
features not found in traditional, mechanical time clocks or energy management systems.
• Ideally suited for stand-alone systems in retail, ofce, institutional, and industrial facilities.
2000 Level System
• Includes all the features of the 1000 level system, Plus:
• Combines the control, input, and scheduling features of the NF1000 with the added benet of embedded
Ethernet connectivity.
• Peer-to-peer (P2P) control network connectivity allows different controllers to share input signals, schedules,
and lighting zone states.
• Ethernet connectivity reduces network installation costs by eliminating the need for a dedicated lighting
control network.
3000 Level System
• Combines control, input, and scheduling features of the 2000 level controller, Plus:
• Embedded web server for remote access without dedicated software
• Automated alarms notify users via email when pre-dened events occur (eg: trip breakers)
3000C Level System
• 3000C controller adds all the features of the 3000 level controller, plus the ability to integrate with C-Bus
TM
devices on the C-Bus network
BacNet Capability
• The Building Automation and Control network (BACnet) communication protocol is being incorporated into the
existing Powerlink G3 controller design. The BACnet protocol allows Powerlink panels to be easily integrated
into a Building Automation System (BAS) employing this open communication standard without the need for
communication bridges or gateways.
Controller Models
The following Powerlink G3 controller models support ‘native’ BACnet communications, BACnet IP, and
BACnet MS/TP on RS-485:
• NF2000G3 - Ethernet communications, shared remote inputs, network time synchronization
• NF3000G3 - Email upon alarm, onboard web pages for status/control/conguration
• NF3000G3C - C-Bus communications (ability to interface with a C-Bus lighting control network)
