System Overview
Softswitch128® is a switching system that is ideal for
small to medium sized switching projects. A system
consists of panels, control stations, occupancy
sensors, and photocells. Softswitch128
® panels contain
Lutron’s one million cycle Softswitch
® relay and the
Softswitch128
® Controller.
Softswitch128
® is easy to install and simple to
program. Softswitch128
® also includes a CEC/Title24
approved astronomical time clock for system automation.
