QS System QSE-CI-NWK-E Control Interface
369373e 1 04.05.16
QSE-CI-NWK-E Control Interface
The QSE-CI-NWK-E is a versatile integration access
point for Lutron
® QS-based systems. Through either
RS232 or TCP / IP over Ethernet, third-party devices can
control and/or monitor a QS system.
Features
Easily integrate with touchscreens, PCs, A / V systems,
or other digital systems and devices.
Control and monitor GRAFIK Eye
® QS, Sivoia® QS,
Energi Savr Node
TM, and other products on the wired
QS link.
Monitor lighting scenes, levels, shade positions and
more. For a full list of commands see Integration
Protocol document (P/N 040249) at www.lutron.com
Up to 10 QSE-CI-NWK-E control interfaces are allowed
per QS link.
The QSE-CI-NWK-E is Quantum
® compatible. Refer to
the Quantum
® System Specification Sheet (P/N 369634)
at www.lutron.com for compatibility details.

Specifications
Power
SELV / PELV / NEC
® Class 2
Operating voltage: 24–36 V- 65 mA
QS Link Limits
The QS wired communications link is limited to
100 devices and 100 zones. Each QSE-CI-NWK-E
control interface counts as 1 device and 0 zones.
Each QSE-CI-NWK-E control interface consumes
2 Power Draw Units (PDU) on the QS link. Refer
to the QS Link Power Draw Units Specification
Submittal (P/N 369405) at www.lutron.com for more
information.
The maximum wiring length for the QS link is 2000 ft
(610 m).
Environment
32 °F to 104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C).
Relative humidity less than 90% non-condensing.
Indoor use only.
Unit generates heat, maximum 8 BTU / hr.
Integration Features
Monitoring: Current scene, zone level, button
presses, shade group levels.
Control: Scene selection, scene lockout, zone
lockout, sequencing, zone raise / lower, master
raise / lower, set shade group level, simulate button
press/release.
For the full list of features and commands, please
refer to the Integration Protocol document
(P/N 040249) on the accompanying CD or at
www.lutron.com
Compatible Components

Mount where terminal blocks, switches, and LEDs
are accessible. Strip 3/8 in (10 mm) of insulation
from wires. Each data link terminal will accept up
to two 18 AWG (1.0 mm

) wires. Connect wiring as
shown on the Wiring page. LED 1 lights
continuously (Power) and LED 7 blinks rapidly
(Data Link RX) when the SELV / PELV / NEC® Class
2 Data Link is installed correctly. Choose from the
following mounting methods:
1 Direct Wall Mounting
Mount the control interface directly on a wall, as
shown in Mounting Methods at right, using screws
(not included). When mounting, provide sufficient
space for connecting cables.
2 Rack Mounting
Place the unit in the LUT-19AV-1U AV rack using
screws provided with the unit. The LUT-19AV-1U
will hold up to four units.
3 Enclosed Wall Mounting
If conduit is desired for wiring, use the
LUT-5x10-ENC to mount one unit.
