ELVI Electronic Low-Voltage Interface
Description
• Provides capability for GRAFIK Eye 3000 Series
Control Units and LP Dimming Panels to dim
electronic transformer-supplied low-voltage
lighting.
• Provides power and dimming for one zone.
• Models available for 120 V , 220-240 V
(non-CE), 230 V (CE), or 100 V input
power.
Works with:
• GRAFIK Eye 3000 Series Control Units
• LP Dimming Panels
• HomeWorks Remote Power Panels
• Neutral-referenced wallbox dimmers by Lutron.
Two ELVI Interfaces may be used
on a zone to double the capacity.

Power
• Input power: 120 V , 220-240 V (non-CE),
230 V (CE), or 100 V . All voltages 50/60 Hz,
phase-to-neutral.
• Load (output) power: Phase independent of Control
Unit.
Sources/Load Types
• Operates electronic low-voltage lighting with a
smooth continuous Square Law dimming curve or
on a full conduction non-dim basis.
– Does not affect sound rating of electronic
transformers.
– Does not cause lights to flicker or interact
anywhere in dimming range.
– Dims to 0% (blackout).
• Works only with electronic (solid-state) low-voltage
transformers that are manufacturer-approved for
reverse-phase control dimming.
• Incandescent and electronic low-voltage sources
may be controlled on the same zone. Up to 30% of
the ELVI capacity may be used for incandescent
lighting.
Key Design Features
Patented RTISS
TM circuitry compensates in real time
for incoming line voltage variations: No visible flicker
with +/-2% change in RMS voltage/cycle and +/-
2% Hz change in frequency/second.
Terminals
Accept up to two #12 AWG (2.5 mm
2
).
Environment
32 - 104 °F (0 - 40 °C). Relative humidity less than
90% non-condensing.
Mounting
Surface or recess mount indoors only.

Side View
• Recess or surface mount in 2-gang U.S.
wallbox 3.5 in. (89 mm) deep. Indoors only.
• ELVI Interface generates heat; mount only
where ambient temperature is 32 - 104 °F
(0 - 40 °C).
• Mount with arrows facing up to ensure
adequate cooling.
• Allow 4.5 in. (114 mm) above and below
unit and between faceplates when mount-
ing several in a vertical layout.
• For better heat dissipation, surface mount
without faceplate.
• Mount so line (mains) voltage wiring is at
least 6 feet (1.8 m) from sound or electron-
ic equipment and wiring.
• Mount Interface within 7° of true vertical.

• Pull #12 AWG (2.5 mm
2
) Copper (Cu) wires (75 °C minimum) for input
power and load circuit.
• Strip 1/2 in. (12 mm) insulation from wires before connecting.
• Run separate neutral for load circuit - no common neutrals. Neutral (N)
terminal is for Control Unit, not the load neutral.
The ELVI Interface may be on the same circuit
as the Control Unit only if the total load does
not exceed the rating of the breaker.
