Lumin Smart Panel - Outdoor DOCUMENTATION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL INTRODUCTION Welcome! The Lumin Smart Panel (LSP) is a standalone product that extends the capability of an existing circuit breaker panel (or “electrical panel”) by providing measurement and remote control of up to twelve (12) circuits in a home or building. The function of the circuit breaker panel remains the same and is not impacted.
READ BEFORE USE The LSP interfaces with existing electrical panels and includes conduit/fittings for installation with surface-mount electrical panels. Verify the label model number is LSP-12-OR before performing an outdoor installation. Please review the product’s technical ratings and specifications (pg. 35) to confirm it is suitable for your application prior to installation.
Lumin Smart Panel - Outdoor DOCUMENTATION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL SYSTEM DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS • The LSP should be mounted so that the connected electrical panel is within reach of the LSP’s flexible conduit fitting. The fitting extends 13" beyond the left face or 9” beyond the right face of the LSP enclosure. Ensure that the electrical panel has adequate wiring space for LSP conductors and connections. Suitable junction boxes and conduit may be used to route and/or extend LSP conductors if needed.

Lumin Smart Panel - Outdoor DOCUMENTATION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL STEP 16. Determine Placement of Current Transformers (CTs) DO NOT INSTALL CTS UNTIL PROPER LOCATION AND PHASING HAVE BEEN DETERMINED. Each LSP is supplied with one set of two (2) 200-amp current transformers (CTs). The LSP is equipped with leads for these main CTs as well as leads for an optional set of auxiliary CTs which is available for purchase from Lumin.
STEP 17. Phase Conductors Monitored by Current Transformers REMINDER: For the purpose of a Lumin installation, the top* row of breakers in an electrical panel is always designated “A”. Whichever feeder leg supplies breaker Row A will be designated “A.” NOTE: Lumin CTs are designated either “A” or “B”. Placing them on the incorrect leg of a circuit will result in erroneous consumption data.
Lumin Smart Panel - Outdoor DOCUMENTATION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL STEP 18. Testing for Crossover before Current Transformer Placement To determine A and B feeders when a main circuit breaker is present, test for AC voltage between the left lug and the left bus bar*. If the bus bar is not accessible, test between the left lug and the terminal on the top left circuit breaker. See Figure C. If V between these points ≈ 240, the main breaker is a crossover type.
STEP 19. Connecting Current Transformers Prior to installation, measure the CT leads’ routing path(s) in the electrical panel. Local electrical codes may require securing CT wiring at regular intervals. If the provided leads are not long enough, fashion CT wire extensions in the field. Scan the adjacent code for information on the proper extension procedures. When installing CTs, connect CTs labeled “Line A/B CT” to the 2-pin connector on the corresponding LSP lead first.

Lumin Smart Panel - Outdoor DOCUMENTATION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL STEP 24. LSP Configuration Configuration and Account Setup 1. After completing the hardware installation, ensure the LSP power switch is in the “ON” position (“I”). The blue and green indicator lights will begin blinking in unison, indicating that the LSP is ready for commissioning. 2. If feasible, make an Ethernet connection between the Lumin Smart Panel’s Ethernet port and a LAN port on the location’s router.
STEP 25. Reinstall LSP Cover Completed Exterior Wall Mount Installation WARNING: FOR ALL OUTDOOR INSTALLATIONS, OPERATING THE LSP WITH THE COVER REMOVED DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER (RAIN, SNOW, SLEET, DUSTY CONDITIONS, ETC) WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. THE NEMA RATING IS ONLY APPLICABLE WITH THE COVER INSTALLED. NORMAL OPERATION/INSTALLATION OF THE LSP INCLUDES THE INSTALLATION OF THE COVER.
Lumin Smart Panel - Outdoor DOCUMENTATION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIRS End User If the LSP is not functioning as expected, ensure that the power switch is on, Internet service is available, antenna/Ethernet connection is secure, and breakers are switched on. See Operational Information (pg. 34) on how to read the LSP indicators for Internet connectively status. It is best to obtain assistance from a qualified installer for further troubleshooting of hardware issues.
