LUTRON QS DIN Rail Panel
Lighting Control Systems
Athena QS DIN Rail Panel
Configurable Lighting Control panels arepre-assembled and tested power panels that are configurable to control multiple load types. Panelsare available with branch circuit breakers or as a feed-through control or satellite panel. The breaker panels come with a branch circuit breaker for each DIN Power Module (DPM). The control panels have a control gear compartment that can house a processor and power supply, and other low voltage gear. Satellite panels replace the control gear compartment with DIN rail rows to mount additional DPMs.
Features
- Panels are pre-wired and tested prior to shipping.
- Feed-through panels and panels with breakers are available.
- Integral Athena Edge processor available.
- Supports various load types using DIN power modules (DPMs):– Switching (QSN-4S8-120-D)– PRO LED+ Phase Adaptive (QSN-4A5-D)– 0–10 V- / Switching control (QSN-4T5-120-D)
- Feed-through control panels offer easy access to Class 2 control equipment which can include up to 2 interfaces or processors.

- Easily integrates with Lutron QS devices.
- Scalable from a single area or floor; to a building or whole campus.
- Integral emergency contact closure input (CCI) on each DPM turns all lights on to a programmable level when activated using a LUT-ELI and ensures that the system is compliant with UL 924®.

Mounting for Panels
- For indoor use only.
- Consult dimensions page for panel size, conduit knockouts, and mounting hole locations.
- Panels weigh up to 110 lb (50 kg). Reinforce wall structure for weight and local codes.
- Mount panel where audible noise is acceptable.
- This equipment is passively air-cooled. Mount in a location where the vented cover will not be blocked. 12 in (305 mm) of clearance in front of the vents is required. Vents must not be blocked or the warranty will be voided.
- Mount the panel so that line-voltage wiring will be at least 6 ft (1.8 m) from audio and video equipment, or radio frequency devices equipment and wiring.
- For surface mount, mount the panel a minimum of 6 in (152 mm) from the floor and 12 in (305 mm) from the ceiling.
- Mount panel using one of the methods below (mounting hardware is not pro vid ed):
- Lutron recommends using 1/4 in (6 mm) mounting bolts.
- Use keyholes with bolts sufficient for 110 lb (50 kg) load, M6 (1/4 in) bolts rec om mend ed.
- Mount within 7º of true vertical
- Install in accordance with all local and national electrical codes.
- Limit vertical stacking of PD2 panels to three panels high and limit vertical stacking of PD4 panels to two panels high, while maintaining at least 12 in (305 mm) of air space at the top and bottom of each panel. Do not vertically stack PD6, PD8, or PD10 panels.

Panel Wiring
Wire Sizes
- Mains Feed (to main lugs, breaker panel only):6 AWG (16 mm2 ) to 2 / 0 AWG (70 mm2)
- Mains Feed (to terminal block):26 AWG (0.14 mm2) to 10 AWG (6.0 mm2)

Wiring Tips
Wire the panel similar to a Lighting Distribution Panel:
- Run feed and load wiring to appropriate terminal blocks installed in the panel.
- For feed through panels run separate neutrals for each module—no common neutrals across phases.
- The panel can provide temporary lighting:– Wire all loads.– Do not remove bypass jumpers that are pre-installed for load controlling modules.– Use pre-installed breakers to switch lights on and off
NEC® Class 2 Wiring
- NEC® Class 2 wiring is used for all system communications.
- NEC® Class 2 wiring must run in a separate trough from line (mains) voltage.
- Must be less than 2000 ft (600 m) long.
Configurable Link Wiring: QS Devices
Notes

Athena Security Statement
Lutron takes cybersecurity very seriously. We actively monitor the threat landscape and take a proactive approach to security and privacy, continuously working to update and enhance our systems and processes.At Lutron, we call our approach to cybersecurity “Secure Lifecycle”, and we would like to present the following steps we take to protect your security and privacy:
- Security by Design. When building a new system, Lutron utilizes a dedicated security team to ensure best practices are implemented. Security is built in. It is not an afterthought or an add-on.
- Third-Party Validation. Security is complicated. Lutron has a dedicated team of internal experts, but we also leverage external experts to double-check our work, and to make security recommendations.
- Continuous Monitoring and Improvements. Security is a constantly moving target. Lutron uses a dedicated security team to continuously monitor for potential threats and, when needed, send out security patches to update installed systems.
- Ongoing Support. Lutron has the resources you need to answer questions about security when they arise We incorporate a variety of security features into our product designs. These features include recommendations from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) among others, and they are aimed at meeting our secure lifecycle protections. While we do not publish a comprehensive list of our security features, the following list is a small example of some of the techniques employed in our system designs for Athena Edge processors, Light Management hubs, Clear Connect – Type X Gateway devices and associated services (such as mobile applications and cloud resources):
- Secure and authenticated remote access with unique keys for every Athena system
- A secure hardware element (“chip”) on all Athena Edge processors and Clear Connect – Type X Gateway to guard the keys used for secure communication and authentication
- Enforcing industry-standard encrypted communication and techniques for our integration protocols to the highest extent possible. Any integrated third-party components or systems should be evaluated independently.
- Secure commissioning – all communication between the system programming software tool / app and the processors is encrypted and authenticated. Programming a system requires permission to access that system.
- Security updates are pushed out automatically to the lighting system for urgent security patches. Lutron is committed to one year of security support from system start-up date.
- Use of industry-standard techniques for cloud-based integrations, such as OAuth2.0
- Signed processor firmware to ensure a firmware update is authentically from Lutron.
If you have additional questions or would like to make a vulnerability disclosure to Lutron, please contact Lutron’s 24/7 Technical support Line at 1.844.LUTRON1 or visit us at [email protected]
