Panel Link Translator Installation Guide
Installation Instructions
NOTE: The panel link to QS link translator is one component of a total system upgrade from a legacy version of
HomeWorks to HomeWorks QSX. The panel link translator allows legacy Remote Power Modules (RPMs) and
specification-grade panels to communicate with QSX processors over the QS link.
All other incompatible legacy equipment, including legacy wired keypads and QED shade drives, MUST be replaced. Refer
to Lutron Application Note #840 (P / N 048840) for more information on how to upgrade each type of legacy HomeWorks
device that is not compatible with QSX.
Installation of the panel link translator varies based on the type of controller being replaced. After identifying the existing
controller type, follow the applicable instruction procedure below. Use the Lutron Designer software to configure and
commission the panel link translator after installation.
