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 Lighting 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.
When set to RadioRA, the Lumina 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
About ALC
ALC is intended for installation in homes, which have been pre-wired for installation of ALC system products. Lumina controls
lights and appliances by sending commands over the ALC signal wiring to ALC Switch Modules. ALC Switches communicate
with the Lumina over low voltage signal wire. They are two-way devices, so the controller always knows the actual status of the
switch. In addition, ALC switches can be used to set scenes by triggering macros in Lumina.
When ALC Lighting Control Modules are being used, it is also possible to "ramp" the lighting level of an ALC Dimmer Switch to
a new level at a controllable ramp rate.
ALC Module Types
The ALC modules types are: Dimmer Switch, Relay Switch, Slave Switch, Program Switch, and 4-Button Scene Switch Modules.
About X-10
The Lumina controls lights and appliances by sending commands over your existing electrical wiring to special switches, outlets,
receptacles, and modules, collectively referred to as X-10. Each module (or group of modules) is assigned a House Code and a
Unit Number so that the Lumina can control the modules individually. When a module hears a command from the Lumina for its
house code and unit number, it executes the command.
There are 3 different X-10 formats: Standard X-10 (Preset Dim), Extended X-10 (Extended Level), and Compose.
Any module that is "X-10 Compatible" will work with the Lumina. The modules come in various types.
House Codes
Lumina can control up to 64 lighting and appliance devices. Each device (switches, modules, and keypad) has its own Unit
Number (1-64). Lumina groups devices by “House Code”, which consists of 16 consecutive unit numbers, starting at Unit 1.
Each “House Code” can be configured to a different lighting protocol format such as: Standard X-10, Extended X-10, Lightolier
Compose, UPB (open UPB format where you can use the programming capability in the Lumina controller to communicate with
the UPB network), Lutron RadioRA, CentraLite, or HAI Lighting Control (HLC).
Different lighting devices can not share the same House Code. However, different lighting devices can coexist on a Lumina
system as long as they are on separate House Codes. For example:
House Code 1 (Units 1-16) = HLC
House Code 2 (Units 17-32) = UPB
House Code 3 (Units 33-48) = X-10 Extended
House Code 4 (Units 49-64) = CentraLite
