Specifications (continued)

120 V~ Ratings

277 V~ Ratings

^A Load type must be set to forward-phase with low-end trim = 32% and high-end trim = 78%. Setting the proper trim and load type is necessary to ensure optimal performance and 1% dimming capability.

^B Complies with NEMA SSL 7A-2015 when configured in Vive UI application to LED forward-phase with low-end trim set to 12% and high-end trim set to 90%.

^C MLV is forward-phase only.

^D Only use iron/steel (core and coil, magnetic) transformers intended for use with an electronic switch or dimmer.

^E Actual lamp wattage.

^F Rating based upon input to the converter (MLV transformer, LED driver, or fluorescent ballast). Actual lamp wattage will be less depending on efficiency of the converter. Contact manufacturer or consult data sheets for values.

^G RMS current should not exceed 3.75 A.

^H See https://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocumentLibrary/048637.pdf for more information. Dimming LEDs in forward-phase have reduced ratings compared to reverse-phase due to higher peak currents.

^I Works with all dimmable LED drivers whose inrush current does not exceed NEMA410 standards for electronic ballast/drivers.

^J Forward-phase at 277 V~ requires a PHPM interface. In Lutron Designer+, PHPM will be added regardless of load size if forward-phase is chosen for LED at 277 V~.

Mounting

• This device must be fully installed into a metal junction box using two screws. The device must be mounted such that the backcover is inside the 4 in × 4 in (101.6 mm × 101.6 mm) junction box and the front faceplate is outside the 4 in × 4 in (101.6 mm × 101.6 mm) junction box. Adding an extension ring is recommended for junction box depth extension.
• Improper installation can result in degraded wireless communications and intermittent or sustained communications failures and will not be covered under warranty. Refer to installation instructions and consult local/national electric codes for proper installation.
• The front of the PowPak module needs to be accessible for some programming steps. Record its mounting location for easy future reference.
• Can be mounted in any orientation.

System Communication

• Operates using Clear Connect – Type A RF Technology for reliable wireless communication. Refer to the model number chart on page 1 for frequency band details.
• Wireless sensors and controls must be located within 60 ft (18 m) line of sight, or 30 ft (9 m) through walls, of the associated control module. The 60 ft (18 m) range is not reduced by a ceiling tile obstruction. Contact Lutron for applications using foil-backed or metallic ceiling tiles.

Environment

• Ambient operating temperature: 32 °F to 104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C)
• 0% to 90% humidity, non-condensing
• For indoor use only

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.

Key Design Features

• LED status indicator shows RF communication, error codes, and provides programming feedback. See App Note #781 (P/N 048781) on www.lutron.com for more details.
• Configurable high-end and low-end trim.
• 10-year power failure memory: If power is interrupted, connected loads will return to the level prior to interruption.
• The OFF level (minimum light level) can be set in standalone (non-hub) mode to either low-end or OFF. Additional options available via the Vive app.
• 1 year limited warranty. Register product at www.lutron.com/warranty to increase warranty to 5 years.

RMJS-PNE-DV-EM Sequence of Operation

With a Vive hub

• Normal mode: The RMJS-PNE-DV-EM dims loads and responds to local button presses, Pico remote controls, occupancy sensors, daylight sensors, timeclock events, and preset scene calls.
• Emergency mode: Upon loss of power greater than 3 seconds OR an override signal* from the Vive hub, the module overrides light output to its emergency level (configured via Vive hub) and enters lockout mode. It will not respond to any local inputs.
• Return from Emergency mode to Normal mode: When normal power is restored or the override signal* is cleared, the module returns to the previous light level within 3–10 minutes. It will again respond to local inputs.

* Override signal triggered from contact closure #2 on the Vive hub from inputs such as: Fire alarm control panel, Security system, LUT-ELI-3PH.

Without a Vive hub

• Normal mode: The RMJS-PNE-DV-EM dims loads and responds to local button presses, Pico remote controls, occupancy sensors, and daylight sensors.
• Emergency mode: After a power loss greater than 3 seconds, the module overrides light output to full and enters lockout mode for 90 minutes. It will not respond to any local inputs.
• Returning from Emergency mode to Normal mode: When normal power is restored, the module remains in emergency mode (full output) for 90 minutes. It then returns to the previous light level and responds to local inputs.

Advanced Configurations

Pico Remote Controls

• Supports up to 10 Pico remote controls.
• Separate favorite levels can be set for each Pico remote control (bottom button is always full OFF).

Radio Powr Savr Daylight Sensor

• Supports up to one Radio Powr Savr daylight sensor.
• The sensor affects lighting fixtures equally.
• For multiple daylighting rows, a separate PowPak module is required for each row.

Minimum Light Level Setting

• For applications like hallways where lights should not turn off, adjust the minimum light level. The load will lower to the programmed 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 module.
• Adjustable low-end trim (0%–45%) ensures a stable light level; some fixtures may flicker or drop out if trimmed too low.
• Maximum light output can be decreased to 55% for energy savings in over-lit spaces.
• Note: Perceived light output of low-end trim may vary by manufacturer. Do not mix different lighting load types for best results.

Radio Powr Savr Occupancy Sensors

• Supports up to 10 Radio Powr Savr occupancy or vacancy sensors.
• Sensors control all connected ballasts or drivers.
• Pico remote controls can adjust occupied levels from 1% to 100% or be made unaffected by occupancy events.
• Vacancy events (area becomes unoccupied) turn all ballasts and driver models off or to minimum light level.

* The minimum light level can be configured to either low-end or off in standalone (no hub). Additional options are available via the Vive app (with hub).
