Lighting Control Modules
Advanced Touch Control for Detention Facility Lighting
Corvinus Electric lighting control modules provide reliable and durable control solutions specifically designed for correctional facilities. Our touch controllers deliver dependable operation even in environments subject to abuse and vandalism.
ELCML-3 Touch Controller
The ELCML-3 touch controller is an electrical module designed to provide on/off control of two independent lighting circuits by means of a touch-sensitive input. In addition to the touch-control input, two low voltage override control inputs are provided which can be used to give forced-on and forced-off control of the lighting circuits.
Key Features
- Isolated Control: Utilizes relays to provide fully isolated control of two lighting circuits
- Noise Immunity: Maximum immunity to false triggering that might otherwise occur from electrical noise from electronic lighting ballasts and other non-linear loads
- Flexible Configuration: Form-C (SPDT) contacts for each circuit provide maximum connection flexibility
- Programmable Operation: 3-position DIP switch for programming one of four different on/off control sequences
- Automatic Timeout: Optional “time-off” feature automatically forces both lighting circuits to turn off after a configured time delay (0.5sec, 1 sec, 5 sec and 15 sec)
- Activation Method: Touch controller is activated by a signal from a stainless-steel bolt
Application Options
- TouchBolt™ Assembly Compatibility: Can be ordered in various lengths and configurations to support fixture-mount or wall-mount control
- Operation Configurations: Touch input can be one bolt for two-way or two bolts for three-way operation
Technical Specifications
- Input Power Requirements: 24VDC
- Control Inputs: Touch-sensitive input plus two low-voltage override control inputs
- Output Contacts: Two independent Form-C (SPDT) relay contacts
- Programming Options: Four different on/off control sequences via DIP switch
- Time-Off Delays: 0.5sec, 1 sec, 5 sec, or 15 sec (selectable)
- Maximum TouchBolt™ Distance: 8 feet from controller
Installation Guidelines
- Touch-sense must be run in separate non-metallic conduit
- Through-wall penetrations must be run in PVC (non-metallic) conduit
- Touch lead cannot be run with power leads
- Stranded copper wire, 16 AWG, is recommended for the active touch sense
Common Applications
