Wiring
• Internal: Prewired by Lutron.
• System communications: Low-
voltage Class 2 (PELV) wiring
connects Dimming Panels to
other components.
• Line (mains) voltage: Feed, load,
and control circuit wiring only.
No other wiring or assembly
required.
Filter Chokes
• Load current rise time is
measured at a 90 degree
conduction angle, with 120 V
input power.
• 10-90% of load current
waveform:
- 350μSec rise time at 50%
dimmer capacity.
- 400μSec rise time at 100%
dimmer capacity.
• 0-100% of load current
waveform:
- 525μSec rise time at 50%
dimmer capacity.
- 600μSec rise time at 100%
dimmer capacity.
• At no point in the waveform can
the rate of current change
exceed 300 mA per μSec.
• Consult Lutron for higher rise
time options.
Standards
• Complies with CE.
• California Energy Commission Listed
Power
• Input power: 230 V, 50/60 Hz,
phase-to-neutral.
• Branch Circuit Capacity: 10 A
• Number of Circuits: 3-24
• Branch Circuit Breakers: IEC-rated
thermal magnetic.
AIC rating (other ratings available):
6000 A
• Lightning strike protection: Meets
ANSI/IEEE standard 62.41-1980.
Can withstand voltage surges of up
to 6000 V and current surges of up
to 3000 A.
• 10-year power failure memory:
Automatically restores lighting to
scene selected prior to power
interruption.
Sources/Load Types
Operates these sources with a
smooth continuous Square Law
dimming curve or on a full
conduction non-dim basis:
• Incandescent (Tungsten)/Halogen
• Magnetic Low Voltage Transformer
• Electronic Low Voltage Transformer
1
• Lutron Electronic Fluorescent
Dimming Ballasts
• Magnetic Fluorescent Lamp Ballasts
• Optional modules allow for control of
0-10 V, DSI, and PWM load types.
• Operates HID sources on a full
conduction non-dim basis.
Dimming Cards
• Panel current ratings are listed
for continuous operation.
RTISS
® filter circuit technology
compensates for incoming line
voltage variations: No visible
flicker with +/-2% change in
RMS voltage/cycle and +/-2%
Hz change in frequency/second.
• Arcless-relay air gap-off
switches (one per load circuit)
ensure open load circuits when
off function selected. Eliminate
arcing at mechanical contacts
when loads are switched.
Physical Design
• Enclosure: NEMA-Type 1 (Type
2 available upon request), IP-20
protection; #16 U.S. Gauge
Steel. Indoors only.
• Weight: 30-175 pounds
(14-80 kg).
• Mounting: Surface mount only.
Allow space for ventilating.
Environment/Heat Dissipation
• Patented, ribbed aluminum heat
sink base cools Panel by
convection. No fans.
• 32-104 °F (0-40 °C). Relative
humidity less than 90%
non-condensing.

Description
Panel features a custom main breaker size.
Panel accepts Delta power feed (phase to phase).
Available for 240 V only. Limited to 10 A, 2-pole circuits.
Branch Circuit Breakers with higher AIC ratings or special
breaker types such as:
• ELB (Earth Leakage Breaker - 230 V CE/240 V non-CE
Only).
• RCD (Residual Current Device - 230 V CE/240 V non-CE
Only).
Allows panel to operate fluorescent ballasts that meet
IEC 929 standards for 0-10 V control including:
• Lutron’s TVE ballasts
• 0-10 V neon
• PWM fluorescent
• Tridonic
® DSI (Digital Serial Interface).
The TVM can sink or source 5O mA (typically 25-50 ballasts)
on each circuit.
Prevents accidental switching of circuit breakers. Adds an
additional 2.25 in. (57.2 mm) to the front of panel. Available for
GP8-GP24 only
Allows a DMX512 theatrical console to operate the load
circuits in the dimming panel.
Allows a GRAFIK Eye
® 4000 System to handle 128 zones
(two links of 64 zones).
Allows two GRAFIK Eye 4000 Systems to share the same
dimming panel.
Application
Jobs with special load requirements.
Areas with Delta power.
Jobs with fluorescent ballasts that
require 0-10 V, PWM, or DSI control.
Service corridors and public areas.
• Control of architectural lighting
from a DMX512 theatrical console
is required.
• A mix of architectural and
theatrical lighting exists on the job.
Multiple systems where space for
panels is limited.
