Athena Edge Processor Conversion Kit

Overview

The Athena Edge Processor Conversion Kit allows existing Quantum Light Management Hubs to be converted to the new Athena Edge processor. This kit also enables a new QP5 Light Management Hub to be converted from 2 configurable links to 4 configurable links.

Features

• Designed to control, manage, and monitor Lutron Energi Savr Node units, QS and Pico wallstations, contract roller QS shades, and QS drapery systems.
• Athena Edge Processor Conversion Kits can be installed in existing Quantum Light Management Hubs: QP2-xP0CSE-120, QP3-1PL-100-240, and QP4-1P-PS120. (Note: Athena Processor is not compatible with Quantum bus supplies in QP2 panels (Q-2C)).
• The Athena system integrates switching, dimming, motorized window shades, digital ballasts, digital LED drivers, and smart sensors under one software tool.
• Can be connected to the same network as other QP5 or QP6 Athena Management Hubs (requires switch by others). After upgrading, the Athena Hub will no longer be compatible with other QP2, QP3, or QP4 Quantum Hubs.
• Enables an Athena system to cost-effectively scale from a single floor to multiple floors, or the entire building.
• Compatible with Athena Clear Connect Gateway – Type X and requires a Q-POE-PNL or separate IEEE 802.3af-2003 or 802.3at-2009 compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) supply (not by Lutron) powered with a normal feed.
• Ships with a mounting bracket for ease of installation into existing Athena Light Management Hubs.
• Supports both astronomic and time-of-day events to automatically control lights and shades/draperies.

* Refers to Pico wireless controls, QS keypads, IR.

Power Failure

• 10-year power failure memory: Should the power be interrupted, the processor will return to its previous state prior to the interruption when power is restored.

Mounting

• Mounts into existing Quantum Light Management Hubs (QP2, QP3, QP4) with supplied mounting bracket using 2 supplied screws.

Low-Voltage Link Wire Type

• Two pairs: one pair 18 AWG (1.0 mm²), one pair 22 AWG to 18 AWG (0.5 mm² to 1.0 mm²) twisted shielded – IEC PELV/NEC® Class 2 cable.

Internet Connection

Providing the Athena hub with an internet connection is highly recommended. This connection is outbound from the Athena processor to the cloud (see the Athena IT Guide for details). Having this connection provides for automated firmware updates, as well as remote access, diagnostics, and service (some features may only be available after system startup).

Athena Security Statement

Lutron takes cybersecurity very seriously. The company actively monitors the threat landscape and takes a proactive approach to security and privacy, continuously working to update and enhance its systems and processes. Lutron's approach to cybersecurity is called "Secure Lifecycle".

Key Security Practices:

• Security by Design: Lutron utilizes a dedicated security team to ensure best practices are implemented during system building.
• Third-Party Validation: Lutron leverages external experts to validate its work and make security recommendations.
• Continuous Monitoring and Improvements: A dedicated security team continuously monitors for potential threats and issues security patches when needed.
• Ongoing Support: Lutron provides resources to answer security-related questions.

Security features incorporated into product designs include recommendations from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Examples of techniques employed in system designs for Athena Processors, Light Management Hubs, Clear Connect – Type X Gateway devices, and associated services include:

1. Secure and authenticated remote access with unique keys for every Athena system.
2. A secure hardware element (“chip”) on all Athena processors and Clear Connect – Type X Gateway to guard keys for secure communication and authentication.
3. Enforcement of industry-standard encrypted communication and techniques for integration protocols.
4. Secure commissioning: Communication between the system programming software tool/app and processors is encrypted and authenticated.
5. Automatic security updates for urgent security patches. Lutron is committed to one year of security support from the system start-up date.
6. Use of industry-standard techniques for cloud-based integrations, such as OAuth2.0.
7. Signed processor firmware to ensure firmware updates are authentic from Lutron.

Configurable Link Wiring: QS Link

The diagram illustrates the QS Link wiring for the Athena Edge Processor. Terminals 1, 3, and 4 are connected between devices that supply PDUs, while terminal 2 is typically not connected between devices that supply PDUs. Devices that consume PDUs connect to all 4 terminals.

QS Link Wiring Rules

• Link communication uses IEC PELV/NEC® Class 2 low-voltage wiring.
• Follow all local and national electrical codes when installing IEC PELV/NEC® Class 2 wiring with line voltage/mains wiring.
• Terminals accept: One 22 AWG to 12 AWG (0.5 mm² to 4.0 mm²) wire, or up to two 18 AWG (1.0 mm²) wires.
• The total wire length of a link must not exceed 2000 ft (609 m).
• The Athena Edge Processor provides 33 power draw units (PDUs) on each QS Link. For more information, see “Power Draw Units on the QS Link” (Lutron P/N 369405) at www.lutron.com.
• QS Link Wiring can be T-tapped or daisy-chained.
• Shield wire will not land on the processor; it should be isolated from ground and all other connections.

Note: Terminal 2 (V+) should NEVER be connected between devices that supply PDUs. For QS Link power supply wiring connection details, refer to the installation instructions for the specific power supply model being used.

System Riser Diagram

The diagram illustrates a typical system riser for the Athena system, showing connections between QP5 units, Q-POE-PNL, Athena Clear Connect Gateway – Type X, and existing QP2, QP3, or QP4 Light Management Hubs with the Athena Edge Conversion Kit. It also shows connection to the building network and the internet.
