PerSONNA System wireless remote control dimming allows people to set the light
output precisely of individual fluorescent fixtures as tasks change. It lets them
fine-tune the visual environment for optimum performance for activities like:
• CAD design – very low light to see detail on black screens
• Word processing – nice, soft light compatible with brighter screens
• Detailed paperwork – bright lighting appropriate for the task.

Benefits
Flexibility
· 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 Designer software allows for faster system design.
High-Performance
Power Electronics
Power Failure Memory
Ease of Installation
Ease of Programming
· 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.

Power Panels
Bypass Jumpers
• Panels shipped
with each dimmer
in a bypass position
to ensure dimmer
protection during
installation and
maintenance
Filter Chokes
• Reduce lamp noise
and RFI, minimizing
interference with
audiovisual and
other equipment; for
more information
see Application
Notes, pg.175
• Allow Panel to be
used as a temporary
lighting panel
• Electronic bypass
feature sends dimmer output to full on
when circuit breaker
is turned off and on
and dimmer is not
receiving intensity
data from a control
Power Feed
Options
Thermal Magnetic
Circuit Breakers
• Feed through
• Main lugs
• Main breaker
• Isolator switch
• Integral thermal
magnetic circuit
breakers are
UL-498-type rated
for 120V or 277V
and IEC 898-rated
for 220-240V
Heat Sink Base
• Unique patented
ribbed heat sink
base conducts heat
out of panels via
convection cooling
(without fans)
Circuit Selector
• Electronically assigns
each circuit to any
zone and light
source (including
non-dim) and can
be reassigned at
any time without
rewiring or reprogramming the
entire system
Dimmers
• Provide Square Law
Dimming curves for
smooth, linear control
• Capable of 16A
continuous,
100-277VAC, 50/60Hz
• UL-listed specifically
for each light source
• Lighting levels remain
constant throughout
changes in power line
conditions with our
patented RTISS™
filter circuit; for more

· 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.
Quality/Reliability
High Performance
Power Electronics
Emergency/
Power Failure Memory
· 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.
Preassembly/
Quick Shipment
· 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.
For Specific
Customized Needs
· 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.
