Introduction
The Pow-R-Command Digital Switch (PRCDS) is a
programmable low voltage device that is connected to
a Pow-R-Command Controller’s Digital Switch Network
(DSN). The digital switch mounts just like any standard wall
switch in a standard switch box, and it is available in three
colors with 2-, 4-, and 6-button configurations. Each button
includes an integral LED for indicating status. See Table 4
for Digital Switch selection guide. Single and multiple gang
wallplates are available to complete the installation. See
Table 5 for Digital Switch wallplate selection guide.

Digital Switches are compatible with PRC1000(E),
PRC1500(E) and PRC2000(E) controllers. PRCDS includes
onboard digital and analog I/O plus an external device
power source. Field wired devices like occupancy sensors
and photo sensors can be directly wired to the PRCDS to
eliminate the need for running field wiring to the electric
closet. This feature saves installation time and provides
lower installed system cost. Fluorescent and LED lighting
equipped with 0–10 Vdc analog dimming control circuitry is
also directly wired to the PRCDS. All ON/OFF and dimming
control logic resides in the PRCDS.
One PRC-E controller can support up to 99 PRCDS devices.
Each PRCDS includes two RJ-45 connectors for connection
to the DSN network in a daisy-chain network configuration.
The Digital Switch comes standard with onboard memory
to store all programming and configuration. This allows for
the switch network to have distributed intelligence. Rather
than having all programming information for each switch
being stored at one centralized location, each switch stores
its own configuration in its onboard memory. This keeps the
switch network from having a centralized break point. If one
switch were to fail, the integrity of the network would not
be compromised, and the remaining switches would still
function properly.
Each Digital Switch offers complete flexibility to the end
user. Each pushbutton can be separately programmed to
switch controllable circuit breakers ON/OFF and/or control
light output levels when fluorescent or LED lighting fixtures
are equipped with 0–10 Vdc dimming circuitry.
