Danger!
Always turn OFF the circuit breakers/MCB or
remove the main fuses from the power line before doing
any work. Failure to do so can result in serious personal
injury. More than one MCB can power this device.
Disconnect all power sources before servicing
unit.
This “load-side” equipment installs on the zone wiring between
the Control Unit* and the lighting load.
The
PB
increases a Control Unit’s zone load capacity for Incandes-
cent/Halogen (Tungsten), Magnetic Low Voltage, Neon/Cold Cath-
ode, and Lutron
Tu-Wire
load types.
The
ELVI
enables a zone of the Control Unit to control Electronic
Low-Voltage loads.
The
FDBI
enables a zone of the Control Unit to control fluorescent
loads with Lutron
Hi-lume or Eco-10
phase-controlled dimming
ballasts.
The maximum load capacity for each Interface is shown in the
table that follows.
1.
This Interface must be installed by a qualified electrician in
accordance with all applicable regulations.
2.
Improper wiring can result in personal injury, damage to the
Interface, or damage to other equipment.
3.
Up to two
PB/ELVI/FDBIs
per zone.
4.
The
PB/ELVI/FDBI
must be mounted with arrows facing
upward to ensure adequate cooling.
5.
PB:
If using low-voltage incandescent fixtures, use only with
iron core (magnetic) transformers.
6.
ELVI:
Use only with solid-state (electronic) low-voltage
transformers that are manufacturer approved to be dimmed by
reverse phase control.
7.
CAUTION!
Dimmed magnetic low-voltage transformers: To
avoid excessively high current flow that can cause trans-
former overheating and failure, observe the following:
(a) Do not operate the Interface with all of the lamps
removed or with any lamps inoperative.
(b) Replace any burned out lamps immediately.
(c) Use only transformers that incorporate thermal protection
or fused primary windings.
8.
ELVI/FDBI:
These Interfaces contain a thermal device that
turns Off the Interface if overloaded. The Interface will turn On
when it cools.
* See Page 5 for other Lutron products that can be used to
control your PB/ELVI/FDBI.
