LUTRON Vive PowPak Phase Select Dimming Module

Vive PowPak Phase Select Dimming Module

The Vive PowPak Phase Select Dimming Module is a remote-mountable, radio-frequency (RF) dimmer that can operate independently or as a part of a Lutron Vive system. This PowPak module features PRO LED+ technology enabling dimming control in either forward- or reverse-phase down to as low as a 1% light level.

The versatility of the module makes it the ideal lighting control for areas such as classrooms, conference rooms, restaurants, lobbies, and retail.

The module is part of the Lutron Vive system and is compatible with Lutron RF input devices such as Pico remote controls and Radio Powr Savr sensors. This is accomplished by using Lutron Clear Connect – Type A RF Technology.

These modules are also compatible with the Vive hub which enables an app-based simple setup process using a standard web browser on any Wi-Fi enabled phone, tablet or computer. The Vive hub also enables control and monitoring of all Vive devices and can be added at any time (system reprogramming will be required). For a complete list of features supported with the Vive hub, see specification submittal 369902 at www.lutron.com

Mounting
  • This device must be fully installed into a metal junction box using two screws. The device must be mounted such that the backcover is inside the 4 in x 4 in (101.6 mm x 101.6 mm) junction box and the front faceplate is outside the 4 in x 4 in (101.6 mm x 101.6 mm) junction box. Adding an extension ring is recommended for junction box depth extension.
  • Improper installation can result in degraded wireless communications and intermittent or sustained communications failures and will not be covered under warranty. For all other installations, refer to the installation instructions and consult local and national electric codes for proper installation.
  • The front of the PowPak module needs to be accessible for some programming steps.Record where it is mounted so that it can be easily located later.
  • Can be mounted in any orientation.

RMJS-PNE-DV-EM Sequence of Operation With a Vive hub:

  • Normal mode: The RMJS-PNE-DV-EM can dim loads as normal and respond to local button presses, Pico remote controls, occupancy sensors, daylight sensors, timeclock events and preset scene calls.
  • Emergency mode: Upon loss of power greater than 250 mS OR an override signal* from the Vive hub, the RMJS-PNE-DV-EM will override the light output to its emergency level (configured using the Vive hub) and enter lockout mode. It will not respond to any local button presses, Pico remote controls, occupancy sensors, daylight sensors, timeclock events, or preset scene calls.
  • Return from Emergency mode to Normal mode: When normal power is restored to the Vive hub or the override signal* from the Vive hub is cleared, the emergency PowPak module will return to the previous light level between 3 and 10 minutes of normal power being restored. It will again respond to local button presses, Pico remote controls, occupancy sensors, daylight sensors, timeclock events, and preset scene calls.
  • Override signal triggered from the contact closure #2 on the Vive hub from one of the following inputs:
    • Fire alarm control panel
    • Security system
    • LUT-ELI-3PH

Without a Vive hub:

  • Normal mode: The RMJS-PNE-DV-EM can dim loads as normal and respond to local button presses, Pico remote controls, occupancy sensors, and daylight sensors.
  • Emergency mode: When the RMJS-PNE-DV-EM is powered up after a loss of power greater than 250 mS the RMJS-PNE-DV-EM will override the light output to full and enter lockout mode for 90 minutes. It will not respond to any local button presses, Pico remote controls, occupancy sensors or daylight sensors.
  • Returning from Emergency mode to Normal mode: When normal power is restored, the emergency PowPak module will remain in emergency mode for 90 minutes (full output). It will then return to the previous light level and respond to local button presses, Pico remote controls, occupancy sensors and daylight sensors.

Advanced Configurations

Pico Remote Controls

  • Supports up to 10 Pico remote controls.
  • Separate favorite levels can be set for each Pico remote control. (NOTE: The bottom button on a Pico remote is always full OFF).

Radio Powr Savr Daylight Sensor

  • Supports up to one Radio Powr Savr daylight sensor
  • The Radio Powr Savr daylight sensor will affect lighting fixtures equally.
  • For multiple rows of daylighting, a separate PowPak module must be used for each daylighting row.

Minimum Light Level Setting

Certain applications, such as hallways, may require that the lights never turn off. For these areas, adjust the minimum light level option and the load will lower to programed low-end level. Default operation lowers to OFF.

High- and Low-End Trim 

  • High-end and low-end trim affect all connected fixtures equally, and can be configured from the PowPak module.
  • Adjustable low-end trim (0% –45%). Trimmable low-end can ensure a stable light level. Some fixtures will flicker or drop out if trimmed too low.
  • The maximum light output of connected fixtures can be decreased down to 55% for energy savings in over-lit spaces.

Note: The perceived light output of low-end trim may vary between fixture manufacturers and model numbers. For best results, do not mix different lighting load types.

Radio Powr Savr Occupancy Sensors

  • Supports up to 10 Radio Powr Savr occupancy or vacancy sensors.
  • Radio Powr Savr occupancy and vacancy sensors control all connected ballasts or drivers.
  • Pico remote controls can be used to adjust the occupied levels of fixtures that they control from 1% to 100% (of output signal) or can make them unaffected by occupancy events.
  • Vacancy events (area becomes unoccupied) turn all ballasts and driver models off or to minimum light level.
