About Lutron RadioRA 

 
Lutron RadioRA uses wireless communication technology to control lighting. Each Switch or Dimmer controls one Zone, or area, of 
lighting in a RadioRA system. Accessory Switches and Dimmers are used to control the lights locally from up to 9 additional 
locations.  Master controls provide control and monitoring for all the lights in a RadioRA system. 
 
Phantom Buttons are “virtual” buttons in the RS232 Interface. Though there are no physical buttons that represent these Phantom 
Buttons, they work very similarly to buttons on RadioRA Master Controls.  Phantom Buttons are intended to give the RS232 Interface 
control over multiple RadioRA Switches and Dimmers with one command. To control more than one device at one time, Phantom 
Buttons are recommended. 
 
A Zone is any individual RadioRA Switch or Dimmer. A RadioRA System has a maximum of 32 Zones.  Zone Numbers can be used 
to identify any individual Zone (one Switch or one Dimmer), in a RadioRA system via the RS232 Interface.  The Chronos System 
Bridge and Timeclock bridges two RadioRA systems for a total of 64 Lighting Zone Controls and 24 Master Controls.  However, 
OmniLT can only control 16 total RadioRA devices. 
 
The OmniLT controller can: 
 

¾

 

Send commands (on, off, and level) to individual Switches and Dimmers 

¾

 

Receive status (on and off) from individual Switches and Dimmers 

¾

 

Receive commands when buttons are pressed on Master Controls 

¾

 

Execute Phantom Button commands
