Set-up
A. Wired Input Devices (if available)
There are 4 types of wired input devices that can be connected to a QSM; Lutron occupancy sensors, Lutron EcoSystem daylight sensors, Lutron EcoSystem IR sensors, and Lutron Pico wired controls.
-
Once these inputs are connected to a QSM, upon power up, the QSM will automatically detect and configure the wired inputs after a valid signal is received (i.e. occupied room, IR signal, etc.).
-
If inputs are ever removed and rewired into different ports, the QSM will need to be reset so the new configuration can be detected.
-
To reset and redetect wired inputs press and hold “Program” button for 10 seconds.
Note: First, there will be a long beep after 3 seconds. Continue to hold until the second long beep after 10 seconds. QSM will power up and new configuration of wired input devices will be detected after valid signals are received.
Note: Load control logic may need to be reconfigured. -
Refer to instructions of connected device to setup input function and logic.
B. Wireless Input Devices (if available)
Wireless input devices must be associated to only one QSM before they are assigned to control system devices.
-
Press and hold “Program” button on the QSM for 3 seconds to enter Sensor Association Mode. You will hear a 1-second beep upon entering. LED will blink twice every second in the sensor association mode.
-
For each wireless device you wish to associate, press and hold the appropriate button on the device according to the following table.
Input Device| Button| Duration
---|---|---
Radio Powr Savr Occupancy Sensor| Lights Off/ | 6 seconds
Radio Powr Savr Daylight Sensor| Link| 6 seconds
Pico Wireless Controller| Bottom| 6 seconds
After each successful input association, QSM will respond with 3 long beeps.
If maximum number of associations to QSM has been exceeded for a wireless
input device type, QSM will respond with a long 5 second beep.
- If an input device has already been associated to another QSM, the QSM to which you are attempting to associate will respond with 10 short beeps to warn that the input device is already associated to a different QSM.
If you choose to ignore the warning and try to associate the same input device to the QSM a second time, the input device will be removed from association with the previous QSM and will now be associated with the new QSM.
- Press and hold “Program” button on QSM for 3 seconds to exit Sensor Association Mode. Note: QSM will time-out and exit Sensor Association Mode after 10 minutes of inactivity.
Program System Logic
QSM is part of a system and cannot be used to control a load without a compatible system device with correct settings. After wired and wireless inputs are associated with QSM, you must program the system logic and functionality using a compatible system load control component (Energi Savr Node, Quantum, GRAFIK Eye QS, etc.).
Troubleshooting
Symptom | Possible Causes | Solution |
---|
Unit does not power wired sensors. Lights don’t turn on when supposed to.
Status LED on front of QSM is not on.| Miswire.| Check wiring. Refer to
section 5. Run Wires.
Power source not connected or is turned off.| Check connection or source of
power.
System short circuit.| Find and correct shorts.
Current budget of the power-sourcing device has been exceeded.| Make sure QSM
is not overloaded and only 1 wired sensor is connected to each sensor input.
Depending on the wired sensor load, current draw of QSM may exceed the limits
of the power sourcing device (refer to power source device instructions for
power draw budget). In such a case, use QSPS to power QSM.
Front enclosure is warm.| Normal operation.| QSM circuit dissipates a small
amount of power. No action is required.
Cannot associate a wireless device to the QSM.| Wireless device is not
compatible with QSM.| Radio Powr Savr occupancy sensor, Radio Powr Savr
daylight sensor, and Pico wireless controller are the only wireless devices
that can be associated to QSM.
QSM is not in sensor association mode.| Make sure QSM is in sensor association
mode. Refer to section 7. Set-up.
Maximum number of wireless devices has been reached.| If you are getting a
5-second long beep after sensor association attempt, this means you’ve already
reached the limiting number in that particular type of wireless input.
Additional QSMs may be needed to accommodate all input devices.
Wireless device is out of range.| Verify wireless device is within range (30
ft [9 m] through walls, 60 ft [18 m] line of sight). For more info on wireless
range, refer to section 1. Choose a Location to Install.
Auto-detection of wired sensors does not work.| Miswire.| Check wiring. Check
if sensors receive power from QSM. Refer to section 5. Run Wires.
Sensor inputs swapped after detection has occurred.| Once the wired sensors
are detected, they are assigned to their sensor ports. Swapping the sensors
after auto-detection will cause malfunction. QSM will re-detect new locations
(if wired inputs are reset). Refer to section 7A. Wired Input Devices for
reset instructions. System logic and functionality must be updated with new
detected configuration.
QSM has not received a valid signal from input device.| Under normal
circumstances, auto-detection may take a few minutes depending on room
conditions. To facilitate this, user can shine a flashlight at daylight
sensors, trigger occupancy sensors, and send valid IR signals to IR sensors.
QSM must receive a valid signal to detect the input device.
Associated wireless devices do not control assigned lights/wireless devices
operate incorrectly.| Wireless device has been unassigned from QSM.| Re-assign
wireless device to QSM.
Devices are not receiving power.| Check wireless device’s battery.
Out of wireless range.| Verify wireless device is within range (30 ft [9 m]
through walls, 60 ft [18 m] line of sight). For more info on wireless range,
refer to section 1. Choose a Location to Install.
System is not configured correctly or wireless devices are not properly
located.| Make sure the logic for QSM sensors and inputs has been programmed
on other system devices (i.e. Energi Savr Node, GRAFIK Eye QS, etc.).
Wireless occupancy sensors have different user interfaces.| Normal.|
Successive Radio Powr Savr occupancy models have a different user interface.
All types associate using the lights off or button.
