RadioRA 2 RF Maestro Local Controls
RadioRA 2 Maestro local controls function as standard dimmers and switches but can be integrated into a lighting control system. They are ideal for controlling single circuits of lighting or a single ceiling paddle fan.
Key Features
- Dimmers: Advanced features include fade-on/fade-off, delayed long fade-to-off, and rapid full-on.
- Front Accessible Service Switch (FASS): Allows for safe lamp replacement.
- Installation: Suitable for single-pole or multi-location applications. Remote dimmers/switches are available for multi-location control.
- Wallplates: Compatible with Lutron Designer (Claro or Satin Colors) and other designer-style wallplates (sold separately). Lutron wallplates offer a snap-on installation with no visible attachment points.
- Color Change Kits: Supports color change kits for customization.

Design Features
Dimmer Operation
- Single-tap: Lights fade ON or OFF.
- Double-tap: Lights go to full ON.
- Press and hold (when ON): Engages delayed long fade to OFF.
- Dimming Rocker: Press and hold to adjust light level.
- Neutral and two-wire options available.
Switch Operation
- Single-tap: Lights or motors turn ON or OFF.
- Neutral and two-wire options available.
Fan Speed Control Operation
- Single-tap: Fan turns ON or OFF.
- Speed Control Rocker: Press and hold to adjust fan speed.
- Capacity: Controls one paddle-type ceiling fan (Permanent split-capacitor motor) up to 2 A. Not for shaded-pole motors.
- Speeds: Provides 4 quiet speeds plus OFF.
- Compatibility: Not for fans with integrated speed/light controls unless the integrated control is removed. Requires a neutral connection.
Dimensions
Diagrams illustrating front view, side views, and mounting/parts identification are provided, showing dimensions in inches (mm).
Ganging and Derating
Derating is required when combining controls in the same wallbox. Remote dimmers, remote switches, and fan speed controls do not require derating.
Load Type and Capacity
Detailed tables outline the load types (Incandescent, Halogen, MLV, ELV, LED, CFL, Fluorescent Ballast, Motor) and their corresponding minimum loads, maximum capacities (Not Ganged, End of Gang, Middle of Gang), and neutral connection requirements for various models. Specific notes detail dimmer load types, low-voltage applications, and compatibility with power boosters/load interfaces.
Example Derating Scenario: For RRD-6CL, mixing CFL/LED and Incandescent/Halogen loads requires specific derating. For instance, if one dimmer controls 48W of CFL/LED, it can also control up to 300W of incandescent/halogen when not ganged.
RRD-PRO Load Types: Supports LED, CFL, MLV, ELV, Incandescent/Halogen, Dimmable Fluorescent Ballast, Hi-lume 1% 2-wire (LTE) LED Driver, and Power Boosters/Load Interfaces (PHPM-PA/3F and GRX-TVI). Neutral connection is optional for some loads but recommended for optimal performance.
Switch Load Types (-8ANS, -8S-DV): Designed for lighting and motor loads. The -8S-DV may require a shunt capacitor for loads sensitive to leakage current, such as fluorescent ballasts, to prevent flickering.
Compatible Power Boosters and Load Interfaces
Certain local controls can be used with Lutron Power Modules (Phase Adaptive, 3-wire Fluorescent, Switched) and the GRX-TVI 0-10V Interface. The table lists compatible controls and modules, with specific notes on voltage requirements.
Operation
Illustrations show the operation of Dimmer, Switch, and Fan Speed Control units, highlighting the tapswitch, dimming/speed rocker, status LEDs, and the Front Accessible Service Switch (FASS).
Wiring Diagrams
Detailed wiring diagrams are provided for various configurations:
- Single-Location Installations: Without Neutral (Diagram 1), With Neutral (Diagram 2), Fluorescent Dimmer (Diagram 3), 2-Wire Switch (Diagram 4).
- Multi-Location Installations: Without Neutral (Diagram 5), With Neutral (Diagram 6), Fluorescent Dimmer (Diagram 7 & 8), 2-Wire Switch (Diagram 9 & 10).
Notes clarify wiring connections, including the use of the blue terminal and the maximum total blue terminal wire length for multi-location setups.
