    ABOUT UPGRADE KITS

    Modern control for your existing infrastructure.

    Extend the life of your power control investment by replacing legacy controllers with modern, network-enabled LynTec hardware.

    Many facilities rely on older power control panels that are mechanically sound but lack modern control and monitoring features. A full replacement is often disruptive and cost-prohibitive. LynTec Upgrade Kits provide a direct, cost-effective path to modernization by replacing only the internal controller and components.

    These kits are engineered to retrofit existing enclosures, preserving your investment in conduit, wiring, and labor. The result is a fully updated panel with IP-based control, remote visibility, and integration into modern AV and building management systems, all with minimal downtime.

    WHY IT MATTERS

    Key benefits of a panel upgrade.

    01

    Preserve your investment in existing enclosures and wiring.

    Avoid the high cost and disruption of replacing entire panels. Our kits are engineered to fit directly into many existing LynTec and third-party enclosures, saving significant labor and material costs on your project.
    02

    Gain network control, sequencing, and remote visibility.

    Add IP-based control via protocols like Telnet, sACN, and DMX. Integrate with modern AV control systems from Crestron, Q-SYS, and AMX for centralized system management and operational insight.
    03

    Engineered for a fast, reliable, and code-compliant retrofit.

    Kits include a new controller, a pre-drilled backplate, and clear instructions for a straightforward installation. This ensures a reliable, factory-supported upgrade that meets electrical code and operational standards.
    FAQ

    Your questions, answered.

    Common questions about modernizing existing power control panels.
    Can I add an SPD to an existing LynTec panel installation?

    Yes. The SPD series is designed as a stand-alone module, making it simple to retrofit into existing installations. An SPD can be easily integrated into your current LynTec panels to add a critical layer of surge protection. This is an efficient way to enhance the resilience of a system that is already in the field, protecting your original investment.

    Can I source hardware for upgrading or servicing an older LynTec system?

    Yes, we provide components that can be used for system maintenance and upgrades. To ensure compatibility with a specific legacy panel or to plan a retrofit, we recommend consulting the product documentation for your existing equipment. Our engineering team can also help you identify the correct upgrade kits or replacement hardware for your project.

    How does a panel upgrade affect its electrical code compliance or UL listing?

    LynTec upgrade kits are engineered to facilitate a code-compliant retrofit when installed by a qualified electrician according to our instructions. The kits provide new, factory-supported components to replace only the low-voltage control elements of the system.

    The high-voltage enclosure and its existing UL listing are intended to be preserved. The process is designed as a component replacement, ensuring the modernized panel continues to meet operational and safety standards.

    What are the main benefits of upgrading versus a full panel replacement?

    The primary benefit is cost-effectiveness. An upgrade kit allows you to preserve your significant investment in the existing panel enclosure, conduit, and high-voltage wiring. This dramatically reduces material costs and the labor required for a full rip-and-replace installation.

    You also minimize system downtime and disruption to the facility. An upgrade modernizes the control ‘brains’ of the panel, adding network sequencing and remote visibility without the complexity of a complete infrastructure overhaul.

    What components are included in a typical upgrade kit?

    Each upgrade kit is designed for a straightforward installation by a qualified electrician. A kit typically includes a new network-enabled controller, a pre-drilled backplate engineered to fit the existing enclosure, and all necessary mounting hardware and wiring instructions.

    This ensures that the retrofit is efficient, reliable, and fully supported, bringing modern control capabilities to your existing infrastructure with minimal downtime.

    What new control protocols and integrations are gained after an upgrade?

    Upgrading a legacy panel adds a full suite of modern, IP-based control options. You gain the ability to manage and monitor your system using common protocols such as Telnet, sACN, and DMX.

    This also enables seamless integration with today’s leading AV control systems, including platforms from Crestron, Q-SYS, and AMX. The result is centralized control, remote visibility, and the ability to incorporate the panel into a larger, connected building management ecosystem.

    Which existing electrical panels are compatible with LynTec upgrade kits?

    Our upgrade kits are engineered to retrofit many existing LynTec panels and select third-party enclosures. The primary goal is to replace the legacy controller while preserving the investment in the main enclosure, conduit, and wiring.

    Because every installation has unique factors, we recommend contacting our engineering team with the make and model of your existing panel. They can confirm compatibility and help you identify the correct kit for a successful modernization project.

    Which existing electrical panels can I retrofit with your controllers?

    Our retrofit controllers, such as the RBLC and MRTS series, are specifically engineered to integrate with common Square D load centers and panelboards. This design allows you to add modern, motorized breaker control to legacy infrastructure without requiring a complete and costly panel replacement.

    For specific compatibility questions, it is always best to consult the product documentation or contact our engineering team to ensure a proper fit for your project.
