Sensor Switch PP20 Power Pack Instruction Manual

Model: PP20 | Brand: Lithonia Lighting

1. Introduction

The Sensor Switch PP20 Power Pack is designed to provide reliable relay circuit protection for motion sensors. It serves as the core component of low voltage sensor systems, transforming 120, 240, or 277 volts AC into Class II 15 VDC to power remote sensors. This unit also efficiently switches the lighting load on and off, featuring patented relay circuit protection tested for over 400,000 cycles at rated load.

2. Setup and Installation

Mounting

The PP20 Power Pack can be mounted directly through a 1/2 inch knockout in a junction box. Alternatively, it can be installed inside an adjacent box to meet specific local code requirements. Ensure the mounting location is secure and provides adequate ventilation.

Wiring

The power pack features line-voltage leads for connection. It transforms Class I high voltage (120/277 VAC) to Class 2 15 VDC for sensor power. Refer to the product label (as shown in Image 1) for detailed wiring instructions, which typically include connections for 120 VAC, 277 VAC, neutral, and relay contacts. Always ensure power is disconnected before performing any wiring.
