RadioTouch® Controller
for Dimmable Lights
Description
The RadioTouch controller for dimmable lights is
designed to work in conjunction with RadioTouch
transmitters that have been addressed to the
controller. The controller can be addressed to
respond to signals from up to 16 RadioTouch
transmitters. The controller has the ability to control
Lutron Hi-lume® and ECO-10TM ballasts directly. The
controller can be connected to a Lutron FDI
interface to dim Lutron Tu-wireTM ballasts,
incandescent, magnetic low-voltage, and electronic
low-voltage loads.
The controller mounts to a standard 4 x 4 in. (120 x
120 mm) junction box or to the knockout of a
fluorescent fixture. The controller can directly accept
inputs from standard 15 and 24 V occupant
sensors as well as Lutrons MW-PS-WH and MW-
FPS-WH daylight sensors. The controller operates at
either 120/277 V or 347 V , depending on the
model number.

Mounting
Using two screws, mount the unit to a 4 x 4 inch
(120 x 120 mm) junction box or directly to a wall
(screws and wall anchors are provided) as shown.
Features
• Provides direct control of a full circuit of Lutron
Hi-lume® and ECO-10TM ballasts.
• Capable of switching 16 A of Lutron ballasts.
• Provides control of Lutron Tu-wireTM ballasts,
incandescent, magnetic low-voltage, and electronic
low-voltage loads using an FDI load interface.
• RTA-RX-F operates at 120 or 277 V line voltage.
• RTA-RX-F-347 operates at 347 V line voltage.
• Each controller can be programmed to accept
control information from 16 unique RadioTouch
transmitters.
• Accepts inputs from standard 15 and 24 V
occupant sensors and provides power to them (not
to exceed 30 mA).
• One required per lighting zone to be controlled.
• Accepts an input from a Lutron MW-PS-WH or
MW-FPS-WH daylight sensor to regulate the electric
light based on the presence or absence of sunlight
and provides power to the sensor (not to exceed
30 mA).
• Accepts control signals from RadioTouch
transmitters at 418 MHz.
• Provides a burn-in function to assist in the
seasoning of new fluorescent bulbs for 100 hours.
• Mounts to a standard 4 x 4 inch (120 x 120 mm)
junction box or to the knockout of a fluorescent
fixture.

Wiring the Controller with an Interface
Turn Power Off.
When using load interfaces, it may be necessary to
adjust the preset light levels prior to use. (See Adjust
Preset Levels on page 36 after completing wiring.)
Remove the bypass wiring connections previously
made.
Connect the input feed wires and the output load
wires as indicated by the wiring diagrams below.
Danger! Locate and lock the supply
breaker in the Off position, or remove the
supply fuse before continuing.
Caution! The FDI-FTU-16A-120,
FDI-ELV-1000, and FDI-INC-2000
operate on 120 V only.
