Feature

Benefits

· Lutron Dimmers control all popular sources – incandescent, magnetic low-voltage, electronic low-voltage, fluorescent, neon/cold cathode, and HID (non-dim only).

· The common control architecture of GRAFIK Eye®and Centralized

Lighting Control System allows the products to be operated as one system and maintain the same user interface.

· Optional Wallstations and Control Interfaces provide additional capabilities, such as infrared or radio frequency control, manual scene and zone selection, sequencing, partitioning, contact closures, and astronomical timeclock, as well as capability to interface with RS-232 and DMX512 protocols.

· Lutron’s optional Designersoftware allows for faster system design.

· With Lutron’s patented filter circuit technology (RTISS™–Real Time

Illumination Stability System), the microprocessor compensates for incoming line-voltage variations, such as changes in RMS (Root Mean Square) voltage, frequency shifts, harmonics, and line noise. Lutron Dimmers are capable of maintaining constant light levels with no visible flicker under conditions of a ± 2% change in RMS voltage per cycle and a ± 2Hz change in frequency per second.

· All Lutron Dimmers have Power-Failure Memory–once power is restored, all lighting zone levels and preset scenes return to their status prior to the emergency condition, not a preset default or full on or off. · Terminal blocks provide for simple installation.

· Installation instructions are available in multiple languages. Contact Lutron or visit the Lutron website for more information. · GRAFIK Eyeproducts are designed with an intuitive approach to

setting light levels. Programming of preset scenes is accomplished without the use of “enter,”“store,”or “learn” buttons.

· Optionally, preset scene levels and fade times can be set with Windows®

-based PC software offering the precision of saving light levels in 1% increments (with 3500 and 4500 Models and Centralized Lighting Control Systems). The software allows preset scenes to be saved or uploaded for archiving purposes.

· In the event that some spaces require tamper protection, there are four levels of electronic protection available.

· Lutron products are designed with common architecture from wallbox choices to dimming panels, for simple user interface and programming. · In addition to its 24 hours/7 days a week toll-free Technical Hotline,

Lutron offers a variety of warranty and field-service programs. See pg.238 for specific programs and information.

· In addition to its standard product line, Lutron manufactures controls for custom functions, custom graphics, integration of customer-supplied components, and new designs.

· Lutron has over 35 years experience in custom lighting control solutions. Contact Lutron for details.

Feature

Benefits

· Lutron Panels include one standard dimmer card that can control all popular sources–incandescent, magnetic low-voltage, electronic low-voltage, neon/cold cathode, fluorescent and HID (non-dim only).

· Lutron’s 2Link_™option allows a panel to accept two data protocols

simultaneously so that an architectural space can be operated by

an architectural control system, like Lutron’s GRAFIK Eye®4000,

Centralized Lighting Control System, and a theatrical system operated by DMX512 protocol, such as a theatrical console. For more information, see pg.151.

· Lutron provides an air gap off for every circuit in its panels. Lutron uses an air gap for all its products; when you select “off”at a Lutron Wallstation, all power is removed from the lighting circuit.

· Lutron Dimmers incorporate a solid-state switching device that operates at 20ºC (68ºF) below its rated temperature without the use of fans. These dimmers are also designed to withstand surges of 6000V, 3000A (equivalent to a near lightning strike) as specified by ANSI/IEEE Standard C62.41 without impairment to performance.

· Before shipment, Lutron tests every panel at full rated load for several hours in an enclosure that is heated to 40ºC (104ºF ambient), simulating worst-case field conditions.

· In addition to its 24-hour toll-free Technical Hotline, Lutron offers a variety of warranty and field-service programs, including local support in-country, preinstallation site visit, commissioning, 72-hour emergency response around the world, and training of all personnel. See pg.238 for specific programs and information.

· With Lutron’s patented filter circuit technology,RTISS_™–Real Time

Illumination Stability System–Lutron Panels compensate for

incoming line-voltage variations, such as changes in RMS (Root Mean Square) voltage, frequency shifts, harmonics, and line noise. Lutron Dimmers are capable of maintaining constant light levels with no visible flicker under conditions with a ±2% change in RMS voltage per cycle and a ±2Hz change in frequency per second. For more information, see Application Notes, pg.179.

· Lutron Dimmers and Switching Relays are capable of withstanding inrush current 50 times operating current. With its patented technology

used in Lutron’s XP Softswitch™Panel, Lutron’s relay does not arc when

it turns on or off. Lutron has verified an average rated relay life of 1,000,000 cycles(on/off).

· Where emergency circuits are required, selected circuits in Lutron Panels immediately go to a ”full-on“ condition when normal power fails. For more information, see Application Notes, pg.176.

· Lutron Panels include Power Failure Memory – once power is restored, all lighting zones return to their status prior to emergency condition, not a default or full on or off.

· Lutron Panels are completely preassembled. Under Lutron’s Quick Ship Program, standard panels typically ship in three to five business days from receipt of approved drawings.

· Lutron Panels are capable of operating from various power voltage sources—single phase, split phase, or three phase (Delta feeds or Wye feeds)—and can operate from normal power, constant hot, generator, or UPS system with true sine wave output and be rated for dimming applications, maximum of 10% THD.

· Lutron Panels also are capable of controlling 0-10V fluorescent dimming ballasts with optional Ten Volt Modules (TVM); see pg.173.
