Lutron Energi Savr Node PRO LED+ Phase-Adaptive Power Module
Model: QSNE-4A5-230-D
Product Overview
The Energi Savr Node (ESN) series products are modular devices for controlling lighting and motor loads. This document describes the QSNE-4A5-230-D, a module responsible for phase-adaptive dimming of lighting loads.
Features
- PRO LED+ Phase-Adaptive Power Module is suitable for use with iOS Energi Savr app, Quantum systems, or Athena systems in QS Standalone configurations.
- Includes QS Link for seamless integration of fixtures and controls.
- Auto-sensing mode allows detection and configuration for incandescent/halogen, electronic/magnetic low-voltage, and neon/cold cathode sources in either forward-phase (leading edge) or reverse-phase (trailing edge) dimming.
- Provides locked forward-phase or reverse-phase (leading or trailing edge) modes.
- Controls dimmable LED loads. Refer to www.lutron.com/ledtool for dimmable LED compatibility.
- RTISS technology compensates for input voltage variations, including RMS voltage changes, frequency shifts (up to ±2%/sec), harmonics, and line noise.

System Examples
QS Standalone Example
Diagram Description: Illustrates a QS Standalone system featuring the Energi Savr Node (ESN) module. The ESN is connected to a QS Power module and a QSM (System Manager). The diagram shows connections for wired daylight sensors (up to 4), wired occupancy sensors (up to 4), wired wall controls or IR receivers (up to 4), and IR emitters. An Ethernet connection links the ESN to a wireless router, enabling control via mobile devices like Apple iPod touch or iPhone. The system also includes Radio Powr Savr occupancy sensors (up to 10 per QSM) and Pico wireless controllers (up to 10 per QSM) connected to the QSM.
Athena/Quantum Example
Diagram Description: Depicts an integrated system for Athena or Quantum lighting control. It shows the Energi Savr Node (ESN) module connected to a QSM and processor panel. Similar to the QS Standalone example, it includes connections for wired daylight sensors (up to 4), wired occupancy sensors (up to 4), wired wall controls or IR receivers (up to 4), and IR emitters. An Ethernet connection links the ESN to a wireless router for mobile device control. Radio Powr Savr occupancy sensors (up to 10 per QSM) and Pico wireless controllers (up to 10 per QSM) are also shown connected to the QSM.

- For loads requiring GFI or RCBO protection, ensure load wiring (from breaker to module to load) runs in its own non-metallic conduit to prevent nuisance tripping. Maximum wire length to load must be less than 30.5 m (100 ft).
- For 0-10 V- control applications, use the QSNE-4T10-D.
- For higher power requirements, use a power booster (PHPM-PA-CE-WH).

Out-of-the-Box Functionality
By default, each zone is configured as an auto-sensing load type with ON/OFF control only. Zones will turn ON or OFF loads until programmed via the module. Module buttons can be used to turn loads ON/OFF or manually adjust dimming levels.
Emergency Contact Closure Input (CCI)
When the CCI is open, the module enters emergency mode, setting all zone outputs to their emergency level and disabling zone and QS system control. When the CCI is closed or jumpered, zones revert to their previous settings. If the CCI remains open, the module defaults to emergency mode. If CCI is not required, leave the jumper in place.
Programming Options
- QS Standalone Programming: Requires an ESN programming interface (QSE-CI-AP-D) and a compatible iOS device with the Energi Savr app. Refer to the Energi Savr Node Handheld Device Programming Guide (P/N 040384) at www.lutron.com. Local button programming is not supported.

Wiring Terminal Overview
Diagram Description: Shows the Energi Savr Node module with labeled terminals for CCI (Emergency Contact Closure Input), Zones 1-4, Input (for main power), Opt, Def, H, M, L, and Prog. It also indicates the Main Power Input and Load Neutral Point, and the Phase-Adaptive Outputs for Zones 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Wiring Check
Before connecting loads to the module, apply power directly to the loads to confirm any load or wiring faults.
Diagram Description: Illustrates the module connected to a power distribution panel (220-240 V~) providing Ground, Line/Hot, and Neutral. The loads are connected to the Zone 1-4 outputs of the module.
Main Power Voltage Wiring
Diagram Description: Details the wiring from the power distribution panel (220-240 V~) to the module's input terminals, showing connections for Ground, Line/Hot, and Neutral. It also shows the connection of the dimming Line/Hot, Neutral, and Load to the output terminals (Zones 1-4).
Connect Line/Hot, Neutral, and Ground to the power module from the 220-240 V~ 50/60 Hz power source. For optimal performance, use separate neutrals for each load circuit.
Power Wiring and IEC® PELV Isolation: Follow applicable local and national regulations to ensure proper isolation.
Wiring: Emergency Contact Closure Input (CCI)
Diagram Description: A close-up view of the CCI terminals on the module, showing the 'Common' and 'CCI' terminals, with a pre-installed jumper between them.
CCI wiring is IEC® PELV/NEC Class 2. Follow all applicable national and local regulations for proper circuit isolation and protection. The CCI is for local control only and does not control other devices on the QS Link. If an event is to affect multiple devices, one CCO device can be paralleled with up to 32 modules. In emergency mode, all zone outputs will be set to their programmed emergency level (defaulting to 100% for each zone), and all sensors and controllers will be locked. The contact closure input is normally closed (NC). A pre-installed jumper is included with the module. If the CCI remains open, the module defaults to emergency mode. If the CCI is not required, leave the jumper in the CCI terminals.
Wiring: QS Link
QS Link wiring is IEC® PELV/NEC Class 2. Follow all applicable national and local regulations for proper circuit separation and protection. Wiring can be daisy-chained or T-tapped. Do not connect to terminal 2.
