LUT-QSE-CI-DMX
The Lutron QSE-CI-DMX Control Interface operates either in a standalone QS system, a Quantum system, an Athena system or a HomeWorks® system. It performs different functions depending on the system in which it is operating.
The Lutron QSE-CI-DMX Control interface operates either in a standalone QS system, a Quantum system, an Athena system or a HomeWorks® system. It performs different functions depending on the system in which it is operating.
QS Standalone System
The QSE-CI-DMX control interface allows zones on a Grafik Eye® QS to control DMX512 controlled devices. Any zone on the Grafik Eye® QS can be mapped to either a single DMX512 channel or to three separate DMX512 channels for RGB/ CMY colour control applications.
Quantum, Athena or HomeWorks® Systems
The DMX channels, whihc offers a maximum of 32 channels are mapped to Quantum, Athena or HomeWorks® zones and can be programmed as 1 channel lighting, 1 channel integration or 3 channel RGB/ CMY.
Please note: If the QSE-CI-DMX is part of a Quantum or HomeWorks® system, Grafik Eye® QS zones cannot be programmed to control DMX channels.
FEATURES
SPECIFICATIONS
| Regulatory Approvals | RoHS Compliant, CE Marked, NOM, cULus |
| Power | Low voltage SELV / PELV / NEC® Class 2 Operating Voltage: 24 to 36 VDC 65 mA |
| Environment | Operating temperature: 0°C / 32°F to 40°C / 104°F Operating Voltage: 24 to 36VDC 65mA Relative humidity less than 90% non condensing Unit generates heat of a maximum 8 BTU/h |
| System/Device Capabilities/Limits | Each QSE-CI-DMX control interface counts as 1 QS device and 0 zones. For QS system link limits, refer to the Lutron Residential and Commercial System Rules Specification Submittal (P/N 369982) at www.lutron.com for more information
Each DMX channel is 1 switch leg. Refer to the Lutron Residential and Commercial System Rules Specification Submittal (P/N 369982) at www.lutron.com for more information One QSE-CI-DMX per QS link in QS standalone. Up to 16 QSE-CI-DMX interfaces per QS link in HomeWorks® Athena or Quantum systems 32 DMX channels per QSE-CI-DMX control interface Each QSE-CI-DMX control interface consumes 2 Power Draw Units (PDU) on the QS link. Refer to the QS Link Power Draw Units Specification Submittal (P/N 369405) at www.lutron.com for more information |
| QS Link Wiring Limits | Total length of link must not exceed 610m / 2000ft Do not allow SELV / PELV / NEC® Class 2 wires to contact live/mains wires |
| DMX512 Link System Limits | Consult your DMX equipment installer |
| DMX512 Link Wiring Limits | Each terminal can accept up to two 18AWG (1.0mm2) wires Link must be 305m / 1000ft or less DMX Link must begin and end with link terminators (available from Lutron; part number LT-1a) Three pins on the DMX connector for connecting the QSE-CI-DMX to DMX512 controlled equipment |
| Limitations | In a Quantum, Athena or HomeWorks® system the 32 channels can be any of the 512 available addresses within the DMX universe. DMX mergers can be used if more than 32 DMX channels need to be controlled within a single DMX universe
Day lighting is not supported for DMX loads DMX 1 channel lighting can be raised or lowered and yet DMX 1 channel integration and DMX 3 channel lighting cannot Please Note: In a QS standalone system raise or lower can be used to cycle through colours from a customisable RGB colour table using the Lutron QS DMX Colour Programming Tool |
| Requirements | The LUT-QSE-CI-DMX requires the following:
At least one Grafik Eye® QS control unit connected to the QSE-CI-DMX through the QS communication link QS Link power supply capable of providing 2 PDUs. Refer to the QS Link Power Draw Units Specification Submittal (P/N 369405) at www.lutron.com for more information DMX512 link terminators at both ends of the DMX512 link (available from Lutron, part number LT-1a) QS Communication Link Wire (SELV / PELV / NEC® Class 2). See data sheet: Wire Sizes table, for more information |
