EC-IR-WH Infrared Receiver
EC-IR-WH 1 09.04.09
Fixture Mountable Infrared Sensor
The Infrared Sensor is designed specifically to
work with Lutron's control modules and sensor
interfaces. The Infrared Receiver provides per-
sonal control input by wiring directly to the control
module. The Infrared (IR) receiver can be used to
control one fixture or a group of fixtures.
Features
• Mounts easily on any ceiling tile or xture with
10 mm (3/8 in) diameter hole
• Threaded mounting stud may be shortened for
applications with limited fixture height
• Receives IR signals and transfers them to a Digital
Ballast or Ballast Module
• Integral LED indicates signal reception
• Constructed of ame retardant material
• Meets IEC 801-2. Tested to withstand 15 kV
electrostatic discharge without damage
• LEDs indicate programming mode and IR signal
reception
• Sensor wire insulation is rated to 600 V, suitable
for fixture installation

Mounting and Wiring Installation
Determine the proper location of the Infrared
Receiver using the adjacent diagram.
• The IR receiver responds to IR signals from up to
2.5 m (8 ft) away when mounted on a 3 m (10 ft)
ceiling.
• The effective cone of reception is shown on the left.
• The cone of reception is diminished when the re-
ceiver is mounted less than 3 m (10 ft) from the oor.
• The receiver requires a clear line of sight between
itself and the remote control for proper operation.
Mounting the IR Receiver
• Drill a 10 mm (3/8 in) diameter hole in the ceiling tile
or pendant fixture
• Thread the wires through the hole
• Install the IR Receiver into the hole
• Secure the IR Receiver with the mounting
hardware provided (hand tighten only).
Note - If the stem of the IR Receiver must be short-
ened due to its location (for instance, in a pendant
fixture) this should be done prior to wiring.
Wiring to a Sensor Input
• Connect the sensor wires as described:
Wire Terminal
Red 20 V

• Make sure that the supply breaker to the control
system is OFF
• Use only 1.0 mm

(22 AWG) solid wire
• An IR sensor can only be wired to a single control
module or sensor interface.
• A single input on a control module or sensor inter-
face can only have one IR receiver connected to it.
