RadioRA 3 Device Types and Design Rules

RadioRA 3 Wireless Processor (Clear Connect – Type A and Clear Connect – Type X)

  • Reliability of Clear Connect wireless communication requires that the wireless processor be centrally located and within a maximum distance of the specific wireless devices in the system.
  • Wireless processors must be mounted 5 ft (1.5 m) away from wireless interference sources like microwaves, Wireless Access Points (WAPs), WiFi routers, and other 2.4 GHz wireless devices.
  • DO NOT mount Radio Powr Savr sensors within 4 ft (1.2 m) of HVAC vents, halogen or incandescent light bulbs, microwave ovens, WiFi routers, IOT cameras, or other non-Clear Connect wireless devices. When using Clear Connect – Type X devices, ensure sensor is mounted at a distance of 2 ft (0.6 m) or greater from the devices.
  • PoE switch or injector requirements: Powered by an IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3at or IEEE 802.3bt compliant Power over Ethernet.LUTRON-804-RadioRA-3-Wireless-Lighting-Control-System-fig-1

Note: Cannot exceed 100 ft (30.48 m).

  • Maximum of 100 Sunnata devices per processor
  • Each Sunnata device must be within 75 ft (22.8 m) of the processor
  • Each Sunnata device must be within 25 ft (7.6 m) of at least two other Sunnata devices, or the processor and one other device
  • At least two Sunnata devices must be within 25 ft (7.6 m) of the processor
  • To improve the wireless coverage of the system, install additional Sunnata devices to help meet the above wireless range requirements.

Note: The RadioRA 2 auxiliary repeater (RR-AUX-REP-WH), and Lutron wireless repeater (L-REPPRO-BL) do not extend the wireless range for Sunnata devices and may not be used to meet the above wireless range requirements for Sunnata devices.

Clear Connect − Type X devices do not extend the range of RadioRA 2 repeaters.
