Setup Guide for the RadioRA Chronos System Bridge 2
1. It is recommended that only one GRAFIK Eye
®
Control Unit be wired to each GRAFIK Eye Interface. Multiple GRAFIK Eye
Control Units may be wired (linked) to the same GRAFIK Eye Interface, however, all GRAFIK Eye Control Units on that
link will respond in unison to the commands from the GRAFIK Eye Interface. ALL GRAFIK Eye Control Units wired to the
same Interface will carry out ALL commands from the GRAFIK Eye Interface (i.e. go to GRAFIK Eye scene 3, Turn OFF,
etc...). Interface commands cannot be sent to one individual GRAFIK Eye Control Unit on a link of multiple GRAFIK Eye
Control Units.
• This application may be desired if multiple GRAFIK Eye Control Units are in the same room and it is intended that
the same scene be selected on each GRAFIK Eye Control Unit simultaneously.
• Lutron does not recommend using one GRAFIK Eye Interface to linked GRAFIK Eye Control Units located in more
than one room.
2. Scene 1 on a GRAFIK Eye Control Unit is the default scene for ALL ON, SECURITY, and FLASH MODES. It is recom-
mended that Scene 1 on GRAFIK Eye Control Units be set to full intensity with a fade time of zero seconds.
3. Setting the light levels for GRAFIK Eye scenes should be done prior to any operations in this Setup Guide.
4. A GRAFIK Eye scene may be added to any RadioRA
®
Master Control button which has been previously programmed
without altering that buttons existing programming.
5. See RadioRA Application Note No.48 (P/N 366-730) for steps to activate GRAFIK Eye scenes 5-16 from a RadioRA
Master Control.
6. For information on integrating your RadioRA system with a photocell, telephone interface, shade motor control, etc... see
the RadioRA Application Notes on our web page at www.lutron.com/applicationnotes/index.html.
7. RadioRA lighting control systems use radio frequency technology for communication. Currently, RadioRA lighting control
systems are available in two frequencies. To determine the frequency of a RadioRA product, examine the model number
on the product’s unit label. The labels are located on the side of all “wallbox” products, and on the bottom of all “tabletop”
products.
The second letter in all RadioRA model numbers indicates the product’s frequency. For example: RA-6D is an “A” fre-
quency product, whereas RB-6D is a “B” frequency product.
Note: Do not mix RadioRA “A” and “B” frequency products within the same system. Products with different frequencies
are not compatible.
If you have any questions concerning the installation or operation of this product, please call the Lutron Technical
Support Center at 1-800-523-9466 .
Important Application Notes
System Operation Notes
This guide replaces the Setup Guide (P/N 044-001) included with a system Repeater.
The installer should be aware of the following:
1. In order to install the Chronos
TM
System Bridge as the Main Repeater in an existing system, all devices in the system must
be returned to their factory defaults prior to installation of the Chronos System Bridge.
2. When using a Whole-home Button on a Master Control, there will be a delay between when the Whole-home Button is
pressed and when the scene activates. The delay will typically be approximately 2 seconds. This applies for scenes that
contain zones of lighting in one system or in both systems. The delay does not apply when the button is activated via
RS-232.
3. For Whole-home Buttons that contain lighting in both System 1 and System 2, the scene will activate one system at a
time, with a delay in between. The delay is typically 3 seconds. The system that the Master Control is in determines which
half of the scene activates first.
4. Only unprogrammed Master Control buttons can be used as Whole-home Buttons. All local programming must be erased
from a Master Control button before it can be assigned as a Whole-home Button.
5. When using Cordless Tabletop Master Controls, the Master Control LEDs will not update when the Master Control is first
awakened from a “sleep” state.
6. When using Master Controls with Raise/Lower buttons with the Chronos System Bridge, the Raise/Lower buttons will not
work on Whole-home scenes.
