Vive PowPak Fixture Controls

Vive PowPak Fixture Controls

The PowPak wireless fixture control is a radio-frequency (RF)
device that controls either the Lutron EcoSystem or 0 –10 V electronic fluorescent ballasts and LED drivers (depending on model). This is based on RF input from Pico remote controls, Radio Powr Savr wireless sensors, or wired inputs from the PowPak fixture sensor. The control module mounts to the exterior of a fixture or a U.S.-style junction box. Communication with RF input devices is accomplished using Lutron Clear Connect RF Technology. See Applications and Selecting the Right Control for more details on selecting the appropriate controls for your application.

The PowPak fixture sensor (optional) mounts to the ceiling or to a fixture and measures light in the space (daylighting) while detecting people moving within an area to determine passive infrared occupancy. The sensor controls the lights to balance light level in the space, combining convenience, exceptional energy savings, and ease of installation. The sensor contains two wires which connect to the PowPak wireless fixture control.

These products are also compatible with the Vive hub which enables a simple setup process using a standard web browser on any Wi-Fi enabled phone, tablet or computer. It also enables control and monitoring of all Vive devices. The Vive hub can be added at any time. System reprogramming will be required. For a complete list of features supported with the Vive hub, see specification submittal 369902 at www.lutron.com
Note for Replacement: FCJS – the “S” model can replace the non-”S” model.

Applications and Selecting the Right Control

Suggested applications:

PowPak Fixture Sensor:
– Great for individual control in cubicles
– Maximize energy savings (fixtures in unoccupied spaces do not turn on)
– Simplifies the determination of what’s needed for a job

Radio Powr Savr Sensors:
– Cover large areas with a single sensor
– Sensor can mount anywhere in the space
– Fixtures assigned to Radio Powr Savr occupancy sensors turn on and off together
– In order to have a row of fixtures dim up or down together in response to daylight, a Radio Powr Savr daylight sensor must be used

Daylighting:
Radio Powr Savr vs. PowPak Fixture Sensor

PowPak wireless fixture controls have two options for daylighting. The PowPak fixture sensor can be used for simple, out-of-the-box daylighting. The Radio Powr Savr wireless daylight sensor can be added for the ability to adjust and fine tune daylighting settings.

  • Radio Powr Savr daylight sensors provide the ultimate flexibility in daylighting: target light level (tuning) and gain value (through calibration) can be adjusted independently. Daylighting rows / zones can be setup so that multiple fixtures dim in unison (also known as “grouping”). Radio Powr Savr daylight sensors can be placed anywhere since they are completely wireless, and performance can be optimized through placement and fine tuning.
  • PowPak fixture sensors are an easy way to add simple
    daylighting to a localized area without requiring setup.
    PowPak fixture sensors are quick to install with a two wire connection, and calibrate automatically. Each PowPak fixture sensor should be mounted within 2 ft (0.6 m) of the fixture it is controlling.

The following can be used per each PowPak wireless fixture control:

Wired :

|

  • Maximum of 1 PowPak fixture sensor.
    Note: Only 1 PowPak wireless fixture sensor can be wired per PowPak fixture control. Grouping more than 1 PowPak wireless fixture sensor to control a group of PowPak wireless fixture controls requires adding a Vive hub.

Wireless:
|

  • Maximum of 10 Pico remote controls

|

  • Maximum of 10 Radio Powr Savr occupancy sensors

|

  • Maximum of 1 Radio Powr Savr daylight sensor

Notes:

  • When using a Radio Powr Savr daylight sensor in conjunction with both a PowPak wireless fixture control and PowPak fixture sensor, the Radio Powr Savr daylight sensor will provide the daylighting input to the control module, and the PowPak fixture sensor daylighting input will be ignored.
  • When using a Radio Powr Savr occupancy sensor in conjunction with both a PowPak wireless fixture control and PowPak fixture sensor, occupancy data from both sensors is used; either one detecting occupancy will turn the lights on, and the lights turn off only when both sensors have gone vacant (no longer detect occupancy).
  • Grouping can be accomplished by following the basic procedure described in the install guide found at www.lutron.com for putting multiple control modules into association mode. This enables a Radio Powr Savr occupancy sensor or Radio Powr Savr daylight sensor to group and control more than one fixture together.
  • Radio Powr Savr occupancy sensors can be used with the PowPak fixture sensor to add coverage area.

Mounting 1

  • This device can be installed on a fixture / troffer, junction box, or marshalling box using the conduit nut or with mounting screws. The device must NOT be mounted inside a fixture or other metallic enclosure – only on the exterior of a fixture/troffer, junction box, or marshalling box. Improper installation can result in degraded wireless communications and intermittent or sustained communications failures and will not be covered under warranty. For applications (in U.S.A.) where code requires the PowPak fixture control to be installed inside an additional junction box, please see Lutron Application Note #423 (P/N 048423) at www.lutron.com for how to perform this installation. For all other installations, refer to the installation instructions and consult local and national electric codes for proper installation. The wireless fixture control needs to be accessible for some programming steps. Record where it is mounted so that it can be easily located later.

For more guidelines and installation best practices, refer to Lutron Application Note #620 (P/N 048620) at www.lutron.com

Emergency Model Sequence of Operation
With a Vive hub:

  • Normal mode: The FCJS-010-EM / FCJS-ECO-EM can dim loads as normal and respond to local button presses, Pico wireless controls, and occupancy / daylight sensors.
  • Emergency mode: Emergency override mode can be entered on the emergency PowPak either by receiving an override signal from the Vive hub or by losing power for greater than 250 ms then being powered on again. When in emergency override mode the PowPak will go to full output / relay closed. It will not respond to any local button presses, Pico wireless controls, occupancy sensors, daylight sensors, timeclock events, or preset scene calls. The emergency light level of the emergency PowPak can be configured using the Vive hub.
    Return from emergency mode to normal mode:
    When normal power is restored to the Vive hub or the override signal
    from the Vive hub is cleared, and power is restored to the emergency PowPak, the emergency PowPak will return to the previous light level in most cases within 3 minutes, but guaranteed within 10 minutes of normal power being restored. It will again respond to local button presses, Pico wireless controls, occupancy sensors, daylight sensors, timeclock events, and preset scene calls.

Without a Vive hub:

  • Normal mode: The FCJS-010-EM / FCJS-ECO-EM can dim loads as normal and respond to local button presses, Pico wireless controls, and occupancy / daylight sensors.
  • Emergency mode: If the emergency PowPak wireless fixture control loses power for greater than 250 ms, it will automatically go into emergency mode (full output, relay closed) for 90 minutes, when emergency power is restored to the PowPak. The FCJS-010-EM/ FCJS-ECO-EM will not respond to all local button presses, Pico wireless controls, occupancy and daylight sensors for 90 minutes.
  • Return from emergency mode to normal mode:
    When normal power is restored, the emergency PowPak will remain in emergency mode for 90 minutes (full output, relay closed). It will then return to the previous light level and accept local button control, inputs from Pico wireless controls, and occupancy / daylight sensors.

Warranty

  • 1 year limited warranty. The customer can register the product to increase the warranty period from 1 year to 5 years. Please visit 369-119_Wallbox_Warranty [PDF] for warranty details.

Note: See App Note #628 (P/N 048628) on www.lutron.com for emergency lighting applications.
