Vive Wireless Lighting Control User Manual
PowPak Single Zone Control Module with Ecosystem
The PowPak Single Zone Control Module with Ecosystem is a radio frequency (RF)
control that operates up to 32 Ecosystem LED drivers or fluorescent ballasts
for the purpose of high performance dimming and control in a Vive system or
with Vive standalone products. This control is based on input from Pico remote
controls and Radio Power Saver sensors. The control module is ideal for small
areas (e.g., classrooms, conference rooms, private offices).
Communication with RF input devices (e.g., Pico remote controls, Radio Power
Saver sensors) is accomplished by using Lutron Clear Connect RF technology.
These products are also compatible with the Vive hub which enables a simple setup process using the free Lutron Vive app (available for download from the App Store or Google Play online marketplace) or by using web-based software with any Wi-Fi enabled iOS or Android compatible device. 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.
Features
- Compatible with any Lutron Ecosystem LED driver or ballast for high performance dimming and control.
- Controls up to 32 Ecosystem fixtures in a single zone. All fixtures will be at the same light level and cannot be individually controlled
- Configurable high- and low-end trim.
- Receives wireless inputs from up to 10 Pico remote controls, 10 Radio Power Saver occupancy / vacancy sensors, and 1 Radio Power Saver daylight sensor.
- Utilizes Lutron Clear Connect RF Technology; refer to model number chart below for frequency band data.
- Mounts to a 4 in x 4 in (102 mm x 102 mm) square junction box through a 0.5 in (20 mm) knockout.

connected loads will return to the previous level prior to interruption
Environment -
Ambient operating temperature: 32 °F to 104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C)
-
0% to 90% humidity, non-condensing
-
For indoor use only
Mounting -
This device can be installed on a junction box or marshalling box using the conduit nut or with mounting screws and must be installed away from a fixture / troffer. The device must NOT be mounted inside or on a fixture / troffer or other metallic enclosure.
-
For applications where code requires the PowPak Control Module to be installed inside an additional junction box (e.g., U.S.A.), please see Lutron Application Note #423 (P/N 048423) at www.lutron.com. For all other installations, refer to the installation instructions and consult local and national electric codes for proper installation.
-
The PowPak Control Module needs to be accessible for some programming steps. Record where it is mounted so that it can be easily located later.
NOTICE: Improper installation can result in degraded wireless communication and/or intermittent or sustained communication failures, and will not be covered under warranty.
Metal Ceiling Mounting
-
Metal ceiling grids must have a > 0.12 in (3 mm) gap of non-metal material which extends the entire length of the tile on at least one edge. This is often achieved by foam spacers that are used to prevent tile-to-tile rattling.
-
Metal ceiling grids which are continuous (with no gap) or those that are interlocked, must have a total surface area that is less than 900 ft2 (81 m2) for each section. The overall space can be larger as long as there are non-metal sections bordering or intersecting the metal sections. Default Operation
-
18 V=
-
Guaranteed Supply Current: 64 mA
-
Maximum Supply Current: 250 mA
-
Connects to Lutron Ecosystem LED drivers or ballasts
- Controls up to 32 Ecosystem drivers or ballasts
– Multiple drivers / ballasts connected to a Control Module will always work together as a single zone -
Can be wired as Class 1 or IEC PELV / NECR Class 2. For more details, see Lutron Application Note #142 (P/N 048162) at www.lutron.com
-
Polarity free
-
Topology free
-
The PowPak Control Module is a single master controller and therefore no other controllers may exist on the same link.
-
Ensure that there is no greater than a 2 V~ drop between the Control Module and the end of the link.
Note: Wired sensors connected to Ecosystem devices are NOT supported.
Lutron Qualified DALI Control Gear
-
Lutron requires that all DALI devices that are intended to be used with a Lutron controller must be pre-tested by Lutron and determined to be compatible before being used on a project.
-
For a complete list of Lutron qualified DALI ballasts please refer to Application Note #482 (P/N 048482) at www.lutron.com
-
Maximum recommended length as per IEC 62386-101 Ed.
Default Operation
-
Associated wireless input devices control all connected fixtures together
-
Occupancy Sensors:
– Occupied: 100%; Unoccupied: 0% (OFF) -
Pico Remote Controls:
– On: 100%; Favorite Level: 50%; Off: 0% (OFF) -
Daylight Sensor: Decreases electric light in response to additional available daylight
Advanced Configurations
Pico Remote Controls
-
Up to 10 Pico remote controls
-
Favorite levels can be set for each Pico remote control
Radio Power Saver Daylight Sensor -
The Radio Power Saver daylight sensor will affect all connected LED drivers and ballasts equally
-
For multiple rows of daylighting, a separate PowPak Control Module must be used for each daylighting row
Minimum Light Level Setting (optional) -
Certain applications, such as hallways, may require that the lights never turn off. For these areas, select the minimum light level option and the load will lower to programed low-end level. Default operation lowers to OFF.
High- and Low-End Trim -
High-end and low-end trim affect all connected fixtures equally, and can be configured from the PowPak Control Module.
-
Adjustable low-end trim (0.1% 45%)*. Trimmable low-end can ensure a stable light level. Some fixtures will flicker or drop out if trimmed too low.
-
The maximum light output of connected fixtures can be decreased down to 55% for energy savings in over-lit spaces.
Note: The perceived light output of low-end trim may vary between fixture manufacturers and model numbers. For best results, do not mix different drivers or ballasts on the same Ecosystem circuit.
Radio Power Saver Occupancy Sensors -
Radio Power Saver occupancy and vacancy sensors control all connected drivers or ballasts.
-
Pico remote controls can be used to adjust the occupied levels of fixtures that they control from 0.1%* to 100% (of output signal) or can make them unaffected by occupancy events.
-
Vacancy events (area becomes unoccupied) turn all driver or ballast models off or to minimum light level.
