Installing and Wiring a GPC20 Controller

READ BEFORE INSTALLING:

⚠️

TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH; TURN OFF POWER at a circuit breaker or fuse and test that power is off before wiring in a Levven product.

  • Install and/or use Levven in accordance with local electrical codes and regulations.
  • Levven controllers are to be mounted in a suitable-sized electrical junction boxes to satisfy your area's electrical code. We recommend using plastic junction boxes for optimal performance. If a metal box is being used, ensure the controller antenna is sticking out of the junction box.
  • If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult a qualified electrician.

Tools and Materials

You will need:

  • Screwdriver to access the electrical box
  • Ladder or Stepstool to reach ceiling fixture
  • Wire Nuts / Marrettes to connect wires
  • Circuit Tester (optional) 
  • Wire Strippers (optional)

Connect the Wires

Before you begin, turn off the power at the circuit breaker. 

Remove the cover or fixture to access the electrical box in the ceiling or wall.

  1. Connect the BLACK power wire to the controller's BLACK wire and one of the controller's BLUE dry contact wires.
  2. Connect the second BLUE wire to the BLACK wire on the load side. This is the wire that sends switched power to the electrical load (light fixture, ceiling fan, plug, or other switched load).
  3. Connect the three WHITE wires from the power, electrical load, and power controller.

The wires should look like the diagram below:

When your connections are safely completed, energize the circuit by turning the power on at the panel.

When powered, the LED status indicator on the power controller will be lit GREEN. This indicates that the controller is powered up and on standby in the 'off' position.

You have successfully wired the Levven GPC20 controller. 

💡

REFERENCE:
Review the GPC20 Installation Manual for more information in the installation process.

NOTE: 
If you have the Levven mobile app connected to your Levven Q gateway, you may skip to Setup in Levven Controls App.

Next, continue to group multiple controllers, or pair switches to your controller.

Installing More Than One Controller?

Create a 'Home Group' for Controllers

Controllers must be in a group to function together. Controllers will only communicate with other devices in the same group. They ignore signals from devices that are not in the group. This is useful when your next-door neighbor has Levven Controls in their home. 

A switch will only be able to control multiple controllers when those controllers are in the same group. To improve wireless range, controllers can forward messages to other controllers in the same group.

When a Levven Q Gateway is added to the home, it will only be able to recognize and control the devices that are in its group.

How to Add a Controller to a Group


  1. Press and release the button on the first controller to initiate grouping. LED will slowly blink GREEN. 
  2. Press and release the button of the controller being added to the group. LED will slowly blink GREEN. 
  3. LED on both controllers will blink RED and GREEN to show they have sent and received the group data. 
  4. Press and release the button on the first controller to confirm the grouping. Both LEDs will flash GREEN three times to signal success.

If you are installing more than two new controllers, repeat this process to add all of the controllers into the same group.

Pair a Switch to a Controller

Switches transmit on and off commands to the controller. When the controller is connected and powered on, you can pair one or more switches.

How Many Switches Can be Paired?

Up to 10 different switches can be paired to one GPC20 power controller. This is useful when you want to have multi-way switches (e.g. one switch at the bottom of the stairs, a second switch at the top of the stairs, both switches paired to the controller connected to the stairway light).

Manually Pair a Switch to a Controller


  1. Press and release the button on the controller to initiate pairing. 
    • The controller's LED will slowly flash GREEN. 
    • This indicates that the controller is waiting for a pairing signal from a switch.
  3. On the switch, press the top and bottom of the rocker simultaneously, then release. 
    • The switch transmits a pairing signal when both ends of the switch are pressed simultaneously.
  5. The LED on the controller will start blinking between RED and GREEN when it receives the signal from the switch. 
    • If the LED does not blink red/green, press and release both ends of the switch rocker again. 
    • If the pairing is not completed within 60 seconds, the controller will time out and you will need to start the process over.
  7. Press and release to button on the controller to confirm the pairing. 
    • The LED will flash GREEN three times to show that the switch pairing was successfully completed. 
  9. Repeat this process if you wish to pair more switches to this controller.

Optional: Setup in Levven Controls App

Adding a new controller is easy with the Levven Controls App. To use the app to add controllers to your home group, you will need a Levven Q Gateway. 

If you need to setup your Q Gateway, head here to get started: Q Gateway Support.

If your Q Gateway is setup and you are using the Levven Controls app, head here:  Device Management.
