Setup Guide for the RadioRA® ChronosTM2

1. It is recommended that only one GRAFIK Eye® Control Unit be wired to each GRAFIK Eye Interface. Multiple GRAFIK EyeControl Units may be wired (linked) to the same GRAFIK Eye Interface, however, all GRAFIK Eye Control Units on thatlink will respond in unison to the commands from the GRAFIK Eye Interface. ALL GRAFIK Eye Control Units wired to thesame 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 EyeControl Units.

• This application may be desired if multiple GRAFIK Eye Control Units are in the same room and it is intended thatthe 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 morethan 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 with-out 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 RadioRAMaster Control.

6. For information on integrating your RadioRA system with a photocell, telephone interface, shade motor control, etc... seethe 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 controlsystems are available in two frequencies. To determine the frequency of a RadioRA product, examine the model numberon 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-600LM is an “A” fre-quency product, whereas RB-600LM is a “B” frequency product.

Note: Do not mix RadioRA “A” and “B” frequency products within the same system. Products with different frequenciesare not compatible.

If you have any questions concerning the installation or operation of this product, please call the Lutron TechnicalSupport Center at 1-800-523-9466.

Important Application Notes

System Operation NotesThe installer should be aware of the following:1. In order to install Chronos as the Main Repeater in an existing system, all devices in the system must be returned to their

factory defaults prior to installation of Chronos.

2. When using a Whole-home Button on a Master Control, there will be a delay between when the Whole-home Button ispressed and when the scene activates. The delay will typically be approximately 2 seconds. This applies for scenes thatcontain 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 atime, with a delay in between. The delay is typically 3 seconds. The system that the Master Control is in determines whichhalf of the scene activates first.

4. Only unprogrammed Master Control buttons can be used as Whole-home Buttons. All local programming must be erasedfrom a Master Control button before it can be assigned as a Whole-home Button.

Consumer Information

DangerThis RadioRA system must not be used to control equipment, other than lighting, which is not visible from every mas-ter or local control location. It also must not be used to control equipment which could create hazardous situationssuch as entrapment if operated accidentally. Examples of equipment which must not be controlled by this RadioRAsystem include (but are not limited to) motorized gates, garage doors, industrial doors, and microwave ovens, heatingpads, etc. It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that the equipment, other than lighting, being controlled is visiblefrom every master or local control location and that only suitable equipment is connected to this RadioRA system.

Using the Chronos with Older RadioRA DevicesChronos Whole-home scenes will not work with Master Controls shipped prior to January 1, 2001. The buttons on theseMaster Controls do not send programming necessary to activate Chronos scenes. Also, this feature was not supported inRA-RS232 and RA-IR Interfaces shipped prior to September 1, 2001. For this reason, these older devices cannot be used toactivate Whole-home scenes.

Using the RA-SCI Switch Closure InterfaceThe Switch Closure Interface cannot be used to activate Whole-home scenes. The security mode inputs on the SwitchClosure Interface will not work across systems. If a security system is connected to the RA-SCI security inputs, it should bemoved to the security input on the Chronos. Refer to Section 5 for instructions on setting up the Chronos contact closureinputs.

Using the RA-MFE Security Mode InputsThe security mode input on the RA-MFE will not work across systems. If a security system is connected to the RA-MFEsecurity input, it should be moved to the security input on the Chronos. Refer to Section 5 for instructions on setting up theChronos contact closure inputs.

Using Security mode from a RA-RS232 InterfaceSecurity mode activated from an RA-RS232 Interface will not work across systems. If a third-party system is connected to anexisting RA-RS232 Interface, it should be moved to the RS-232 port on the Chronos. Refer to Section 4 for instructions onsetting up the Chronos RS-232 port.

Installing the ChronosTM

InstallationRead all instructions completely before installation.

Important Installation Notes

1. Install in accordance with all national and localelectrical codes.

2. Use only the AC adapter provided by Lutron withyour Chronos. Using an adapter not rated at thefollowing specifications could damage the Chronosand possibly overheat the AC adapter.

• Input: 120 V 50/60 Hz

• Output: 18 V / 300 mA Class 2

3. Operate in ambient temperatures between 0°C(32°F) and 40°C (104°F), 0-90% humidity, non-condensing.

4. To clean, wipe with a clean damp cloth. DO NOTuse any chemical solutions.

5. DO NOT ground the Chronos. DO NOT mount theChronos in a metal enclosure.

6. Do not paint the Chronos.

7. The range and performance of the RadioRASystem is highly dependent on a variety of com-plex factors such as:

• Distance between system components

• Geometry of the home

• Construction of walls separating systemcomponents

• Electrical equipment located near systemcomponents

Step 1 Find a suitable location for theChronos

Place the Chronos in a convenient and accessiblelocation. Access to input and output wiring should beconsidered when selecting the mounting location. TheChronos should be placed in an area where it cannotbe inadvertently changed, and at a height inaccessi-ble to children.

Note: Master Controls and Zone Controls must belocated within 30 feet (9 m) of the Chronos or anAuxiliary Repeater. Auxiliary Repeaters must belocated within 60 feet (18 m) of the Chronos or oneanother. For more information refer to “Repeater,Chronos, and Zone/Master Control Placement” onpage 8.

Step 2 Mount the Chronos

Note: For best performance, antennashould be oriented vertically.

d Step 3 Wiring to Input Devices

Note:• Input devices can be driveway sensors,

photocells, security systems, etc.

Contact Closure Compatibility: The input closuresare intended for use with devices that provide main-tained or momentary outputs in the form of dry con-tact closure or open collector outputs meeting the fol-lowing criteria:

• On saturation voltage: < 1.0 V at 2 mA

• Off leakage current: < 10.0 µA at 12 V

• Outputs must stay in the closed or open state forat least 40 msec in order to be recognized by theChronos

If there is any question as to whether the contact clo-sure device is compatible with these specifications,contact the manufacturer of that device.

Contact Closure Wiring:Caution - DO NOT apply voltage between any twoterminals on the Chronos contact closure input termi-nal block. This will cause improper operation andcould damage the Chronos and the connected equip-ment.


Step 4 Connect the RS-232 Cable

Connect a DB9 male RS-232 cable to theRS-232 connector.

To select the proper RS-232 cable for yourapplication, see the RadioRA RS-232Protocol and Programming Guide (P/N 044-006).

Local Button Programming Overview

Button Programming Overview

1. Select a Master Control to be Programmed

2. Set ColumnsEach column of buttons on a Master Control can be programmed to be either ROOM or SCENE but-tons. All button columns are factory set as ROOM buttons. Refer to Rooms and Scenes Overview (page25) for an explanation of Rooms and Scenes. Refer to pages 27-28 for details

3. Program ROOM and SCENE ButtonsEach button on a Master Control can be programmed to affect any or all of the Dimmers, Switches, orGRAFIK Eye Control Units in the system.

a. Assign ControlsBy default, ROOM and SCENE buttons have no controls assigned to them. To assign controls toeach button, perform the steps detailed on pages 29 and 30. Assign all Dimmers, Switches, orGRAFIK Eye Control Units that will be affected by the button being programmed. For SCENEButtons, also assign all Dimmers, Switches, or GRAFIK Eye Control Units that will be turned OFF bythe button being programmed.

b. Set Light LevelsDimmers, Switches, and GRAFIK Eye Control Units assigned to each button may be set to desiredlight levels to fit the mood or activity programmed. To set light levels for each button, perform thesteps detailed on pages 31 and 32. Dimmer light levels default to 100% for ROOM Buttons and 50%for SCENE Buttons. Switches default to ON and GRAFIK Eye Control Units default to Scene 1.

4. Program ALL ON and ALL OFF ButtonsALL ON Buttons always turn ON Dimmers (to 100%), Switches, and GRAFIK Eye Control Units (toScene 1). ALL OFF Buttons always turn these controls OFF. By default, all Dimmers, Switches, andGRAFIK Eye Control Units are assigned to all of the ALL ON and ALL OFF Buttons. To unassign con-trols from the ALL ON and ALL OFF Buttons, perform the steps detailed on pages 33 and 34.

5. Repeat for all Master Controls

What is a Room Button?A Room button is used to monitor the On/Off status of a light or group of lights. For instance, in the Family Room, theRecessed Lights, Wall Sconces, and Accent Lights make up all the lights in the room. Assigning all of those lights to one but-ton would allow the monitoring of all those lights. If any of the lights are On, the Room button’s LED will be ON. Pressing thebutton will turn all of the lights in the room off. If all of the lights in the Family Room are Off, the LED will be off. Pressing thebutton will turn all of the lights in the room on to their pre-selected level.

What is a Scene Button?A Scene button is used to create a mood or emotion in a room. In a Family Room, a couple common scenes are watch "TV"and watch a "Movie." Pressing a Scene button sets the mood by setting all assigned Dimmers to their pre-selected level. AScene button’s LED on a Master Control will be on if, and only if, that Scene button was pressed on that Master Control. So,when a Scene button is pressed from a Master Control, the assigned lights will go to their pre-selected level (including Off)and the Scene button’s LED will turn on. Pressing the Scene button again will turn all of the lights assigned to that button off.A Scene button’s LED will remain on as long as all of the assigned lights are still at their pre-selected level. If a light changeslevel, either from another Master Control button or via local control, the Scene button’s LED will turn OFF.

Rooms and Scenes Overview


Initially, all of the lights are OFF. Our ROOM button, called Family, is off becauseall of the lights in the Room are OFF. Our two SCENE buttons, TV and Movie, areoff because the lights are not at the pre-selected levels for those SCENES.

Pressing the Family button turns ON all of the lights assigned to the button. TheFamily LED turns ON because atleast one of the lights in the room is on.

Pressing the Movie SCENE will recall the lights to the Movie setting. As before,the Movie and Family LEDs are ON.

Now the Recessed Lights have been turned on by pressing the button on theDimmer. The lights are no longer at their pre-selected level for the Movie SCENEso the Movie LED turns OFF. The Family LED remains on because at least one ofthe lights in the ROOM is still ON.

The Family LED indicates that atleast one of the lights ROOM is still ON. To turnOFF all of the lights in the ROOM, press the Family button. With all of the lights inthe ROOM OFF, the Family LED turns OFF.

Pressing the TV button sets the mood for watching TV. In this SCENE, all of thelights in the room at set to 50%. Since the TV button was pressed and the liightsare on at their pre-selected level, the TV LED turns ON. The Family LED remainson because at least one of the lights in the ROOM is still ON.

Pressing the Movie button sets the mood for watching a movie. In this SCENE,the recessed lights and wall sconces turn OFF and the Accent Lights turn On to50%. The Movie SCENE is active so the Movie LED is ON. The lights are nolonger at their pre-selected level for watching TV so the TV SCENE turns OFF.Like before, the Family LED is still ON because atleast one of the lights in theROOM is still ON.

Pressing the Movie button again will turn all of the lights in the ROOM OFF. Thelights are no longer at their pre-selected level for the Movie SCENE so the MovieLED turns OFF. Since all of the lights in the ROOM are OFF, the Family LEDturns OFF.

Local Buttons, Phantom Buttons, and Whole-home Buttons


Local ButtonsA Local Button is a Master Control button used to activate zones of lighting within a single system. A LocalButton is programmed locally at the Master Control, or copied from a button on another Master Control. Any orall zones of lighting within the same system as the Master Control can be assigned to the button. Each columnof local buttons can be assigned as either ROOM buttons or SCENE buttons.

A Local Button would typically be used when all of the lighting to be controlled by the button is in the same areaas the Master Control.

Phantom ButtonsA Phantom Button is a "virtual" button that resides in the ChronosTM and is used to activate lighting in a singlesystem or both systems. Any or all zones of lighting within a single system or both systems can be assigned toPhantom Buttons. Each Phantom button can be assigned as either a ROOM button or a SCENE button.

Phantom Buttons can be activated via Master Control Whole-home Buttons (see below) or via the Chronos RS-232 port.

Whole-home ButtonsWhole-home Buttons are available when using the Chronos to bridge two RadioRA® systems. A Whole-homebutton is a Master Control button that can be used to activate zones of lighting in both systems. Programming ofWhole-home Buttons is accomplished at the Chronos with Phantom Buttons.

A Whole-home Button would be used whenever lighting in both systems is to be controlled by a Master Control.

Overview

RS-232 Port Programming

This section contains information on how to setup the ChronosTM for RS-232 integration with other systems. TheRadioRA® RS-232 Protocol and Programming Guide (P/N 044-006) contains information regarding the RS-232command set and how to interface the Chronos with equipment external to the RadioRA System. The ChronosRS-232 port allows an external device to control RadioRA lighting loads and provides an external device withfeedback of RadioRA activity. Depending on the application, Zone Numbers, Master Control Numbers, orPhantom Buttons may not have to be assigned.

Zone Numbers must be assigned to have an external device:• Individually control a zone.• React when a zone is changed locally.

Master Control Numbers must be assigned to have an external device:• React when a Master Control button is pressed.• Control the LED of a Master Control button which has no RadioRA loads assigned to it.• React when a Raise/Lower button is pressed on a Master Control.• React when a Cordless Master Control wakes up or goes to sleep.

Phantom Buttons must be assigned to have an external device:• Activate Phantom Buttons 1-15, ALL ON (Phantom Button 16), or ALL OFF (Phantom Button 17).• Monitor the status of Phantom LEDs 1-15.

For details on the commands required to perform the above functions, refer to the RadioRA RS-232 Protocoland Programming Guide (P/N 044-006).

As an example, if the Dimmerin the Kitchen were assigned to the upper right-handbutton on the Master Control, pressing the Raise but-ton would increase the light level of the Kitchen’sDimmer.

Note: Raise/Lower will work with Master Control but-tons having Local Programming only. Whole-homeButtons are unaffected by Raise / Lower.

How LED status is affectedIf you Raise a Dimmer that is initially OFF, theDimmer will turn ON and increase its intensity to thedesired level. Three seconds after the Raise button isreleased, the Dimmer’s status will be broadcast to theentire system. Any Master Control ROOM LEDs,which have that Dimmer assigned to them, will turnON since that Dimmer is now ON. Any Master ControlSCENE LEDs, which have that Dimmer assigned tothem, will turn OFF since the lights are no longer attheir preset level for that SCENE.

System FunctionalityThe Raise/Lower buttons are designed to work withRadioRA Dimmers and GRAFIK Eye Interfaces only.RadioRA Switches are not affected by Raise/Lower.Dimmers or GRAFIK Eye Interfaces which have OFFas their preset level for a particular Scene will not beaffected by Raise/Lower commands when theRaise/Lower buttons are affecting that Scene.Dimmers cannot be lowered to OFF.

Note: The functionality described above pertains toRadioRA Dimmers and Switches which shipped afterJanuary 1, 2001 and GRAFIK Eye Interfaces whichshipped after February 1, 2001. Contact the LutronTechnical Support Center at 1-800-523-9466 for infor-mation on using Raise/Lower Master Controls witholder dimming devices.

Definitions of Common Terms

Glossary

Master Control - A RadioRA® Master Control is a system control point that provides controlof lights throughout a home. Master Controls can be wall mounted, tabletop, or cordless.Other system Master Controls are the Switch Closure Interface (RA-SCI), the InfraredInterface (RA-IR), or the RS-232 Interface.

Master Control Number - Master Control Numbers are used to identify RadioRA MasterControls via the ChronosTM.

Phantom Buttons - Phantom Buttons are “virtual” buttons in the Chronos. Though there areno physical buttons that represent these Phantom Buttons, they work very similarly to buttonson RadioRA Master Controls. Each Phantom Button can be assigned either as a ROOM orSCENE.

Phantom LEDs - Phantom LEDs are “virtual” LEDs in the Chronos. Though there are nophysical LEDs that represent these Phantom LEDs, they work very similarly to LEDs onRadioRA Master Controls. Phantom LEDs 1–15 are associated with Phantom Buttons 1–15,respectively.

ROOM Button - A ROOM button is a programmable button whose LED is ON when anylighting zone assigned to that button is ON at any level. When issuing an “ON” command, aROOM button may only turn zones ON, not OFF.

SCENE Button - A SCENE button is a programmable button whose LED is ON when theSCENE associated with that button has been activated. The LED will go out when the lightzone changes level or receives a command to change level, even if the new level is the sameas its preset level. The LED will also go out if the SCENE is turned OFF. When issuing an“ON” command, a SCENE button may turn zones ON or OFF.

Zone - A zone is any individual RadioRA Dimmer, Switch, or GRAFIK Eye® Interface. ARadioRA System has a maximum of 32 zones.

Zone Number - Zone Numbers can be used to identify any individual zone (one Dimmer,Switch, or GRAFIK Eye Interface) in your RadioRA System via the Chronos.

Zone Control - A device that controls a zone of lighting or a shade, such as a Dimmer,Switch, or GRAFIK Eye Control Unit.
