RadioRA-SR is a system of lighting controls, window treatments, keypads, and sensors that communicate wirelessly to provide total control of electric and natural light in a single room. RadioRA-SR adds the magic of light control to any home entertainment area. Lutron provides uncompromising reliability through innovative wireless communication technology. Lutron ensures that your system will work every time by combining RF technology, patented by Lutron, with unrivaled quality.
Planning and design System planning A properly planned RadioRA -SR system is easy to use and provides the maximum benefits. ® Planning a system involves making a number of important decisions. Here are some of them: • Where will I install the dimmers and switches? •...

• add the Integrated Scene Controller to your system The Integrated Scene Controller provides RS232 or Ethernet control of the RadioRA-SR system. A detailed explanation is provided in the Protocol section on page 16 of this guide. The manufacturers listed below offer products that are compatible with the RadioRA-SR system.
Each RadioRA-SR system contains 16 programmable scenes and one Off scene. The Off scene, when activated, will send all assigned zone controls to the Off state and close all window treatments.

Programming keypads Default zone control levels and window treatment positions After lights and/or window treatments are assigned to keypad columns, the assigned devices will default to the levels listed below. Default levels and positions for a 7 button wall-mount keypad Scene Dimmers Switches...
Programming keypads About adjusting default levels / positions from a keypad You can customize the default levels or positions of the devices assigned to a keypad column by using the steps below. All other keypad columns or Integrated Scene Controller columns that have those devices assigned to them will access the same, newly customized levels or positions.

Programming keypads Adjusting default levels / positions from a keypad (continued) a. Make a dimmer ‘unaffected’ – if the dimmer is on, press the tapswitch once to turn it off. After the dimmer is completely off, hold the lower rocker until the three middle LEDs turn on (approximately 6 seconds), signifying that the next level save will be ignored.
Programming occupancy / vacancy sensors About assigning sensors Sensors may be assigned to single or multiple dimmers or switches. When the occupancy sensor detects a person entering the room, the dimmer(s) fade on quickly and the switch(es) turn on. The level that the dimmer(s) turn on to may be programmed to a customized level.
-SR system. ® The Integrated Scene Controller is able to control up to 9 RadioRA-SR zone controls or window treatments. The Integrated Scene Controller can be used to activate scenes in the system and set or get zone control levels and window treatment positions. Each RadioRA-SR system contains 16 programmable scenes and one OFF scene.
Integration Assigning devices to the Integrated Scene Controller (continued) Exit assign mode by pressing and holding the Assign button on the selected column until the column’s Assign LED stops flashing and is off (approximately 3 seconds). About adjusting default levels / positions from an Integrated Scene Controller When the Assign button for Column 1 or 2 is pressed or when a command is sent through RS232 or Ethernet to the Integrated Scene Controller, all of the assigned devices go to a default level or...

Integration Adjusting default levels / positions from an Integrated Scene Controller (continued) Adjust each zone control and window treatment assigned to that keypad column as follows: a. Set levels on dimmers – use the tapswitch to adjust the lights to go on or off. Use the raise or lower button on the right side of the dimmer to make adjustments to the desired light levels.

Make a window treatment ‘unaffected’ – if the window treatment is open, close it using either the clockwise or counter- clockwise button. Release the button. After the window treatment is closed, press and hold the same button used to close the window treatment until the green LED blinks quickly (approximately 10 seconds), signifying that the next position...

Integration Protocol Communication setup The commands in this section will help the integrator set up communication parameters of the Integrated Scene Controller through the link. Many of these commands require a power cycle of the Integrated Scene Controller to take effect. Please follow the directions below carefully. All these commands may be used over either the RS232 link or the Ethernet link.
Integration Protocol Verify assignments and set up Integration IDs The commands in this section will help the integrator verify the assigns to the columns in the Integrated Scene Controller and change the Integration IDs of devices that can be controlled and monitored.
Page 23
Integration Protocol Verify assigns and set up Integration IDs (continued) Change the integration ID of a zone that is assigned to the Integrated Scene Controller Each zone control, keypad and window treatment that is assigned to the Integrated Scene Controller is given an Integration ID which, by default, is the serial number.
Integration Protocol Control / Command There are two ways to adjust the levels of zone controls and positions of window treatments in the space: Send commands directly to each zone control or window treatment. While this method affords maximum control in a space, it is harder to set up and it will stagger the action if multiple zone controls or window treatments are being adjusted at the same time.
Page 25
Integration Protocol Control / Command (continued) Send commands to the Integrated Scene Controller to select a scene Use the following command to select scenes by simulating button presses on the Integrated Scene Controller. After the action is complete, the Integrated Scene Controller will retrieve the levels of devices assigned to it and report the levels using the monitoring commands.

Integration Protocol Monitor A touchscreen may use the following feedback to represent the state of a RadioRA -SR system to ® the user: After a command is issued to the system through the Integrated Scene Controller, it will report the target levels of devices assigned to it.
Integration Protocol Monitor (continued) Using the scene information reported by the Integrated Scene Controller For the convenience of the integrator, scene selections within a group of devices are reported from the Integrated Scene Controller using the same command format that is provided to activate them through the Integrated Scene Controller.
Integration Protocol Advanced programming The commands in this section are used to set up the Integrated Scene Controller using the link. These commands allow you to do the following: Enter assign mode to assign zone controls, window treatments, and keypads to Columns 3 or 4, since this is not possible using the buttons on the front of the Integrated Scene Controller.
Page 30
Integration Protocol Advanced programming (continued) Save levels of devices to a scene button This command will allow you to save the current levels of zone controls and window treatments to any scene button on an Integrated Scene Controller column (see the table on page 23 for a list of programmable buttons on the Integrated Scene Controller and their associated component numbers).
Resetting devices to factory settings About resetting devices to factory settings Resetting devices to factory settings will remove them from the system and will clear all programming. After being returned to factory settings, the devices will need to be reprogrammed as part of a RadioRA -SR system.
Resetting devices to factory settings Reset sensors to factory settings Triple tap and hold either the Lights On or Lights Off button on a sensor. DO NOT release the button after the third tap. Keep the button pressed on the third tap until the sensor lens starts to flash quickly (approximately 3 seconds).
