Installation
-
Turn OFF power at the circuit breaker.
WARNING! Shock Hazard. May result in serious injury or death. Turn off power at the circuit breaker before installing the unit.
-
Installing the Mounting Adapter
The Vive hub can be mounted on various ceiling materials (thickness ranging from 1/4 in to 1½ in (6 mm to 32 mm)) using the provided mounting bracket.
Flush-Mount Adapter Installation:
- Cut a 6 in (152 mm) diameter mounting hole in the ceiling.
- Insert the flush-mount adapter into the hole.
- Rotate the three brackets outwards by turning screws to clamp the adapter to the ceiling. Hand-tighten the brackets with a Phillips head screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
Surface-Mount Adapter Installation:
- Remove installed doors to access optional conduit knockouts (for 1/2 in or 3/4 in conduit).
- Attach the surface-mount adapter to the wall or ceiling using the included screws or appropriate screws for your application.
- Alternatively, attach the surface-mount adapter to a junction box (4 in x 4 in (102 mm x 102 mm) square or 4 in (102 mm) octagonal).
-
Wiring
Power Supply Wiring:
- Ground the junction box in accordance with NEC®/local codes.
- Mount the power supply to the junction box, within 100 ft (30 m) of the Vive hub.
- Make wiring connections as shown: Black (Line/Hot) to 120-277V~, White (Neutral) to Neutral, Green/Yellow (Ground) to Ground.
- Maintain separation of the power supply Class 2 output wiring (Red 24V-, Blue Common) from other conductors by at least 1/4 in (6.4 mm) or by a non-conductive sleeve/barrier.
- Note: Do not power the Vive hub with an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) or emergency generator power when emergency PowPak/Fixture Controllers are utilized.
Vive Hub Wiring:
- Run the low-voltage wiring (24 AWG-12 AWG) from the power supply to the Vive hub.
- Wire the Vive hub terminal block: Connect Red (24V) to 24V- on the hub, and Blue (Common) to Common on the hub.
- Contact Closure Input 1 (CCI1) is programmed by default for Title 24 Automatic Demand Response. Closing this input sheds the lighting load by 20%.
- Contact Closure Input 2 (CCI2) can be configured during programming.
- Connect the Ethernet cable for connection to Building Management Systems, wired networks, and other Vive hubs.
-
Attaching the Vive Hub to the Adapter
- Insert and twist the Vive hub clockwise into the mounting adapter until it locks into place. For flush-mount, twist until flush with the ceiling. For surface-mount, twist until it clicks.
-
Turn ON power at the circuit breaker.
-
Programming
The Vive hub can be set up using the Lutron Vive app on any Wi-Fi enabled iOS or Android device.
- Download the Lutron Vive app from the App Store or Google Play.
- Open the app and follow the on-screen instructions.
Important Notes
General
- Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all local and national electrical codes.
- Primary branch circuit must be protected by a 15 A or 20 A breaker.
- Primary wiring must be 18 AWG to 14 AWG (1.0 mm² to 2.5 mm²) and rated for at least 167 °F (75 °C).
- Operate between 32 °F and 104 °F (0 °C and 40 °C).
- For indoor use only.
Vive Hub
- Clean the Vive hub with a soft damp cloth only. Do not use chemical cleaners.
- Do not paint the Vive hub.
- The Vive hub requires a compatible system device to control a load. Refer to system device instruction sheets or www.lutron.com for details.
- Up to 700 Lutron wireless devices can be associated with the Vive hub.
- Installation near metal objects (other than junction boxes) may reduce RF range. Keep the Vive hub at least 12 in (305 mm) away from metal objects.
- All wireless devices must be within 71 ft (22 m) of the Vive hub. This range applies to both Clear Connect devices and Wi-Fi.
- Corporate Wi-Fi networks may interfere with the Vive hub's Wi-Fi. If a corporate Wi-Fi network exists, connect the Vive hub via Ethernet and disable its Wi-Fi.
- Mount at least 10 ft (3 m) from Wi-Fi routers.
- For secure decommissioning, contact Lutron Customer Assistance.
