FeatureBenefitsFlexibility· Lutron Dimmers control all popular sources – incandescent, magneticlow-voltage, electronic low-voltage, fluorescent, neon/cold cathode,and HID (non-dim only).· The common control architecture of GRAFIK Eye and CentralizedLighting Control System allows the products to be operated as onesystem and maintain the same user interface.· Optional Wallstations and Control Interfaces provide additionalcapabilities, such as infrared or radio frequency control, manual sceneand zone selection, sequencing, partitioning, contact closures, andastronomical timeclock, as well as capability to interface with RS-232and DMX512 protocols.· Lutron’s optional Designer software allows for faster system design.High-PerformancePower ElectronicsPower Failure MemoryEase of InstallationEase of Programming· With Lutron’s patented filter circuit technology (RTISS –Real TimeIllumination Stability System), the microprocessor compensates forincoming line-voltage variations, such as changes in RMS (Root MeanSquare) voltage, frequency shifts, harmonics, and line noise. LutronDimmers are capable of maintaining constant light levels with novisible flicker under conditions of a 2% change in RMS voltage percycle and a 2Hz change in frequency per second.· All Lutron Dimmers have Power-Failure Memory–once power isrestored, all lighting zone levels and preset scenes return to their statusprior to the emergency condition, not a preset default or full on or off.CANADIAN STANDARDSASSOCIATIONCANADANOM CERTIFICATIONMARKMEXICOHARMONIZED EUROPEANSTANDARDDENTORI T-MARKJAPAN· Installation instructions are available in multiple languages.Contact Lutron or visit the Lutron website for more information.UL ”EMC-MARK”FOR EUROPE· GRAFIK Eye products are designed with an intuitive approach tosetting light levels.

FeatureBenefitsFlexibility· Lutron Panels include one standard dimmer card that can controlall popular sources–incandescent, magnetic low-voltage, electroniclow-voltage, neon/cold cathode, fluorescent and HID (non-dim only).· Lutron’s 2Link option allows a panel to accept two data protocolssimultaneously so that an architectural space can be operated byan architectural control system, like Lutron’s GRAFIK Eye 4000,Centralized Lighting Control System, and a theatrical systemoperated by DMX512 protocol, such as a theatrical console.For more information, see pg.151.Quality/ReliabilityHigh PerformancePower ElectronicsEmergency/Power Failure Memory· Lutron provides an air gap off for every circuit in its panels. Lutron usesan air gap for all its products; when you select “off”at a LutronWallstation, all power is removed from the lighting circuit.· Lutron Dimmers incorporate a solid-state switching device that operatesat 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 StandardC62.41 without impairment to performance.· Before shipment, Lutron tests every panel at full rated load for severalhours in an enclosure that is heated to 40ºC (104ºF ambient), simulatingworst-case field conditions.· In addition to its 24-hour toll-free Technical Hotline, Lutron offers a varietyof warranty and field-service programs, including local support in-country,preinstallation site visit, commissioning, 72-hour emergency responsearound the world, and training of all personnel. See pg.238 for specificprograms and information.· With Lutron’s patented filter circuit technology, RTISS –Real TimeIllumination Stability System–Lutron Panels compensate forincoming line-voltage variations, such as changes in RMS (Root MeanSquare) voltage, frequency shifts, harmonics, and line noise. LutronDimmers are capable of maintaining constant light levels with no visibleflicker under conditions with a 2% change in RMS voltage per cycleand a 2Hz change in frequency per second. For more information,see Application Notes, pg.179.· Lutron Dimmers and Switching Relays are capable of withstandinginrush current 50 times operating current. With its patented technologyused in Lutron’s XP Softswitch Panel, Lutron’s relay does not arc whenit turns on or off. Lutron has verified an average rated relay life of1,000,000 cycles (on/off).· Where emergency circuits are required, selected circuits in Lutron Panelsimmediately go to a ”full-on“ condition when normal power fails. Formore 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.Preassembly/Quick Shipment· Lutron Panels are completely preassembled. Under Lutron’s Quick ShipProgram, standard panels typically ship in three to five business daysfrom receipt of approved drawings.For SpecificCustomized Needs· Lutron Panels are capable of operating from various power voltagesources—single phase, split phase, or three phase (Delta feeds or Wyefeeds)—and can operate from normal power, constant hot, generator,or UPS system with true sine wave output and be rated for dimmingapplications, maximum of 10% THD.· Lutron Panels also are capable of controlling 0-10V fluorescent dimmingballasts with optional Ten Volt Modules (TVM); see pg.173.GLOB
