LUTRON QSE-CI-DMX CONTROL INTERFACE

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

  • Map any zone on a Grafik Eye® QS control unit (in QS standalone systems) or any zone in a Quantum, Athena or HomeWorks system to any single DMX512 channel
  • Map any zone on a Grafik Eye® QS control unit, any Quantum zone, Athena zone or any HomeWorks® zone simultaneously to three DMX512 channels for RGB/CMY colour control
  • Integral RGB/CMY lookup table that maps Grafik Eye® QS zone intensities, Quantum zone intensities, Athena zone intensities or HomeWorks® zone intensities to RGB/CMY values (colours)
  • RGB/CMY table can be customised by using the Lutron QS Colour Configuration Tool (PC application available at www.lutron.com/qs) within the HomeWorks Designer, Quantum Q-Design or Athena design software

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
Load shedding is not supported for DMX loads
Night 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
