Manual Mode Operation
Zone button on the unit can be used to turn loads on
and off.
Manual Override Contact Closure Input (CCI)
When the CCI is open, the Switching Power Module
will enter Manual Override Mode, which will turn on
all loads and disable control of all local zones and
QS devices. Default operation can be modified
through HomeWorks QS programming software.
When the CCI is closed or jumpered (factory default),
the Switching Power Module zones will return to
the settings they were at prior to entering Manual
Override Mode.
Contact Closure Output (CCO)
Accepts voltages of 0 –24V~ / 0 –24V-; see chart
below for load switching capacities:

Output relay is non-latching (if relay is closed and
power is lost, relay will open).
The CCO is not rated to control unclamped, inductive
loads. Inductive loads include, but are not limited to,
relays, solenoids, and motors. To control these types
of equipment, a flyback diode (not included) must be
used (DC voltages only). See diagram below.

Specifications - (continued)
Programming and Compatibility Requirements
Setup and programming of the Switching Power
Module is done through the HomeWorksQS
programming software.
HomeWorksQS software version 12.0 or higher
required.
HomeWorksQS Wallstations
HomeWorksQS wallstations can be configured
to control Switching Power Modules with the
HomeWorksQS programming software.
Wallstation LED indicators display the status of
programmed lights.
QS Link Limits
A QS link in a HomeWorksQS system can have up
to 512zones (outputs) and 100devices (required
HomeWorks QS processor counts as one device on
the QS link).
Each Switching Power Module counts as one device
toward the 100device limit, and 4 zones toward the
512 zone limit.
Output Zone Ratings
Each zone is rated at 8A for switching. Rated for
resistive, inductive, or capacitive lighting loads as
defined by NEMA 410.
Air gap off per output.
No minimum load per output.
This module is designed to control loads with ratings
as noted in the table below.
Outputs cannot be used to control general purpose
receptacles.

• Special considerations:
When controlling lamps, Lutron recommends using
permanently installed fixtures.
If controlling plug-in lamps, installation must ensure a
method of preventing non-rated loads being plugged
into the unit. An example is Lutron P/N CAR-15-DDTR,
which is a dedicated receptacle with an alternate plug
type.
Controlling loads outside the parameters listed in
the specifications may damage the device and void
the warranty.
• If attempting to control general purpose receptacles,
use the appropriate third-party power pack for the
rated load.
• Run a separate neutral for each load circuit. A
common neutral connection is not recommended.
Unit may be powered by Ground Fault Interrupter
(GFI) or Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) protected
circuit if required.
For applications requiring higher wattage ratings, use
PHPM-SW-DV-WH or GRX-TVI for 120 V~.

Mounting
Mount in a Lutron DIN Panel (see spec 3691055
at www.lutron.com) or in a NEMA Type 1 rated
consumer panel or breaker panel with integrated DIN rail.
Unit is 9 DIN modules (6.37 in [161.7 mm]) wide.
Mount in an accessible and serviceable location.
Unit may be mounted by pressing the unit onto the
DIN rail with the clips locked. To remove the unit from
the DIN rail, unlock the clips using a screwdriver.
See Lutron P / N 048466 at www.lutron.com for more
information on mounting and installation in panels with
integrated DIN rail.
• Mount the Power Module where audible noise is
acceptable (internal relays click).
Unit generates heat, maximum 24 BTUs/hr.
Mount unit such that all the conditions below are met:
Room ambient temperature is between 32 ºF and
104 ºF (0 ºC and 40 ºC).
Temperature inside mounting panel, within 0.80 in
(20 mm) of unit, is between 32 ºF and 104 ºF
(0 ºC and 40 ºC).
Calibration point maximum: 149 ºF (65 ºC).

32 units may be connected to an emergency
or manual override device in parallel if event
is intended to affect multiple units.
When in Manual Override Mode:
All zone outputs will be switched on.
Controls will not affect units in Manual
Override Mode.
Controls connected to a unit in Manual
Override Mode will continue to affect
units on the link that are not in Manual
Override Mode.
Manual override contact closure input
is normally closed (N.C.). The Switching
Power Module is shipped with a jumper
pre-installed.
Note: The Switching Power Module will
default to Manual Override Mode if
the CCI is left open. If no Manual
Override contact input is required,
leave the wire jumper in the CCI
terminals.
