1. Introduction

The Hubbell Control Solutions (HCS) Wiring Layout Generator is to provide a user the ability to generate NX Room Controller

(NXRCFX) connection diagrams based on user selected parameters typically found on a jobsite. These drawings can be created on the jobsite or in the office to help in sales discussions or to clear up connection confusion during installation.

2. Prerequisites

To run the .exe program to create your drawings either of these programs must also reside on your PC/laptop. 1. Autodesk® AutoCAD® (any version)

2. Autodesk® AutoCAD LT® (any version)

It is not necessary to open these Autodesk products, the .exe program will open them in the background and will not be visible to you.

3. File Location Recommendation

• When saving the Wiring Layout Generator .zip folder, place in a folder that will reside on your hard drive, such as your Local Drive (C:)

• You could create a folder with a name that you can keep track of, then extract from the .zip file into this folder. • Create a Shortcut to be placed on your desktop for easy access.

• The .exe and associated files in the .zip file need to reside in the same folder for the application to pick blocks from its library.

• Make sure that all corresponding folders and HCSApplication.exe be in the same folder

4. Setup Walkthrough

Upon having the Wiring Layout Generator in the appropriate folder: 1. Extract the files

• Unzip the HCSApplication.zip file to the required location • User shall open the “HCSApplication.exe” from the folder path to

create the drawings

• Make sure that all corresponding folders and HCSApplication.exe be in the same folder

Title Block - Diagram Specific Information

• Revision Blocks - used for ownership if the produced drawing is to be updated due to site conditions or change in application

outside of the Wiring Layout Generator tool

• Title - based on configured device used in the drawing • Date - The day the drawing was generated

• Drawn by, Rev, Scale, and Drawing / Design NO are all set to default values and can be updated as required after download

9. Tips/FAQ

• Power Budget Units will adjust based on devices connected • A Room Controller must be selected

• You cannot pick a mix of Room Controller types (no single relay and dual relay). They must be both dual relay or both single relay if using multiple NXRCFX room controllers

• In all selectable fields a selection is required. Zero, NO and NONE is acceptable

• When selecting sensors, if you have chosen your NXOS-LO quantity count and you adjust the NXOS-OM count, it will reset your NXOS-LO count

• Wall stations can be Specialty Switches or Smart Switches. At this time, a mix of wall stations to select from is not supported • Download the Wiring Layout Generator
