These Controllers then send signals to Lutron dimming ballasts adjusting the light levels and also send signals to optional window treatments and projection screens to adjust window treatments or screen levels.

examples The following scenario demonstrates a potential RadioTouch solution for the classroom shown: 1. The classroom has nine, 277V, 2 ft. x 4 ft., T8, three lamp fixtures. The customer would like 1% Hi-lume fluorescent dimming for AV presentations. The appropriate ballast model is FDB-4827-277-3. 2. The room will have front lights and general lights controlled in separate groups. Each group requires an RTA-RX-F Controller. 3. The room requires simple On/Off entrance control for the front and general lights to replace the existing wall switches by the door. Two RTA-WX-2B-WH controls will provide simple control for each group of lights in the room. A two-gang Claro wallplate will provide a clean, screwless look at the wallbox. 4. The presenter would like to have control of each lighting group from the podium. An RTA-TX-2L-B-WH tabletop transmitter provides separate control of two lighting groups, and an RTA-SEC-WH security clip can be added to mount the transmitter to the podium. 5. Determine if the lighting system needs to work with other devices such as occupant sensors, daylight sensors, touchscreens, or window treatments. See pages 8 through 13 to determine the models required for your application. Call toll-free 1-800-523-9466 4
