Vive Maestro Wireless Dimmers and Switches User Manual

Vive Maestro Wireless Dimmers and Switches.

The Maestro Wireless solution incorporates Maestro
Wireless load controls, wireless sensors, and wireless remote controls, which provide a system that delivers energy savings, convenience, and ease of installation.
Maestro Wireless dimmers and switches use Lutron patented Clear Connect RF Technology, which enables wireless communication with
Radio Powr Savr sensors and Pico remote controls for light control and general switched loads.

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.
Note for Replacement: MRF2S – the “S” model can replace the non-”S” model.

Features

The Maestro Wireless solution provides dimming / switching of multiple load types, occupancy/vacancy sensing, and daylight harvesting.
Lutron patented Clear Connect RF Technology works through walls and floors.
Incorporates advanced features such as fade ON / fade OFF, high-end trim, and rapid full-ON (a Vive hub is required to set high-end trim).
Controls include Front Accessible Service Switch (FASS) for safe lamp replacement.
Two-wire dimmers and switches available for retrofit applications.
Power failure memory: If power is interrupted, the control will return to its previously set level prior to interruption.

Ganging and Derating

When combining controls in the same wallbox, derating is required. Dimmer Load Type and Capacity.
No Neutral Required

Note: Do not mix ELV and MLV load types on a single control.

Dimmer Load Type:
MRF2S-6CL is designed for use with permanently-installed incandescent, CFL, LED, or tungsten halogen only.
• MRF2S-6ND-120 is designed for use with permanently-installed incandescent, CFL, LED, magnetic low-voltage, or tungsten halogen only. Can control Power Modules
(PHPM-PA-DV, PHPM-3F-DV-WH, PHPM-WBX-DV-WH, and GRX-TVI) and legacy interfaces Hi-Power 2•4•6 Boosters (HP-2, HP-4, HP-6).
• MRF2S-6ELV120 is designed for use with permanently-installed electronic low- voltage, incandescent, CFL, LED or tungsten/halogen only. Do not install dimmers to control
receptacles or motor-operated appliances.
Low-Voltage Applications:
• Use MRF2S-6ND-120 with magnetic (core and coil) low-voltage transformers only. Not for use with electronic (solid‑state) low-voltage transformers.
• Use MRF2S-6ELV120 with electronic (solid-state) low-voltage transformers only. Operation of a low-voltage circuit with lamps inoperative or removed may result in transformer
overheating and premature failure. Lutron strongly recommends the following:
– Do not operate low-voltage circuits without operative lamps in place.
– Replace burned-out lamps as quickly as possible.
– Use transformers that incorporate thermal protection or fused transformer primary windings to prevent transformer failure due to overcurrent.
• See Application Note #559 for dimming low voltage LEDs.
BAA-compliant model numbers available. Add a “U” prefix to the model number. For a complete list of BAA/TAA compliant products please visit our website at Lutron.com/BAA and select “Download BAA Product List”.

Mixing Lamp Types

Mixing lamp types

(using a combination of CFL / LED, and Incandescent / Halogen bulbs) and ganging with other dimmers or electronic switches may reduce maximum wattage, as shown.

Example: If fins from one side of dimmer are removed and you have two 24 W bulbs installed (total CFL Wattage = 48 W), you may add up to 300 W of incandescent or halogen lighting.

Example: If a dimmer is installed in location “B” above and there are two 24 W CFL bulbs installed (Total CFL Wattage = 48 W), you may add up to 300 W of
incandescent or halogen lighting.
