Controls/Sensors Rules
Multiple QS sliders on a single control count as one
QS device unless mounted with a keypad, then the

Ketra Standalone
(For commercial applications only.)
Wireless Range Limits
Wireless Ketra products have a wireless range limit
dependent on various factors. The following guidelines
are provided for best performance:
Device-to-device wireless range should not exceed
50 ft (15.25 m) in radius.
No obstructions between devices: 50 ft (15.25 m)
wireless range limit
Few (non-metal) obstructions between devices:
30 ft (9 m) wireless range
Large/metal obstructions between devices:
11 ft (3.35 m) wireless range
All devices in a KNet must be within 100 ft (30.5 m) of
the N4.
N4 Hub
An N4 hub can connect to 49 other KNet wireless
devices, making the total device limit 50 per KNet when
including the N4.
Each N3 counts as 1 device. Linear fixtures (e.g. G2,
L4R, etc.) connected to the N3 do NOT add to the
total N4 device limit of 49.
Each Ketra Lamp (A20, S30, S38, D4R, and D3)
counts as 1 device.
Each X2 Keypad or X2 Repeater counts as 1 device.
An N4 must be within 328 ft (100 m) of a network
switch (standard Ethernet limitation).
Each N4 must be homerun from a network switch.
N3 Satellite
One N3 is needed for Ketra Linear Fixtures (G2, L4R,
L3I, P4), with the following limitations:
40 ft (12 m) maximum for linear fixture length
(40 1 ft [.31 m] segments)
100 ft (31 m) maximum run length (fixture length plus
cable length from N3 to end of last fixture)
N3 output cable cannot be t-tapped
One continuous strip of cable/linear fixtures
(no T-tap)
Fixture runs and cable runs can be broken up
Multiple linear fixture types can be combined on one
N3 output
Linear fixtures must be connected in a specific
orientation, with a distinct “in” and “out” end
The N3 has 4 communication ports (COM ports),
which can be configurable to 010 V- input / output
and contact closure input/output. Supported use
cases are:
010 V- Input – daylight harvesting (photocell
integration) from a 010 V- PowPak.
010 V- Output – 010 V- load control
(RMJS-8T-DV-B or FCJS-010) requires a contact
closure COM port output and an auxiliary power
pack (PP-DV) for switching of 010 V- load
Contact Closure Input (Maintained Contacts Only)
Occupancy sensors control (dry contact only)
requires a switching PowPak with CCO
(RMJS-5RCCO1-DV-B) or a low-voltage CCO
PowPak (RMJS-CCO1-24-B) with an auxiliary
power pack (PP-DV).
Scene / Show Selection
Binary logic support such that 4 inputs can be
configured to select between 16 scenes / shows
preset in Ketra Design Studio.
Contact Closure Output (maintained contacts only)
For control of 3rd party, maintained contact
devices
Installation Limitations
A single installation should have no more than ten
N4 devices (ten KNets)
Maximum 500 wireless devices per installation
(one N4 and 49 wireless devices per KNet)
Maximum number of scenes per installation:
80 scenes if there are more than or equal to
256 groups
120 scenes if there are less then 256 groups
Maximum 512 groups per installation
These installation limitations do not limit project size,
as multiple installations can be used per project;
installations are separate systems, and do not
communicate with each other

Definitions
A Limelight lighting control system consists of a single
gateway and up to 800 Radio Sensor
Modules (RSMs).
A single customer site may contain multiple control
systems (i.e. multiple gateways).
All systems (gateways) of a site can be made
accessible with a single customer login.
