Section 2:
Installing a GRAFIK Eye
This section explains how to install a GRAFIK Eye control unit and make sure it is properly
operating all connected loads .
DANGER! GRAFIK Eye 3000 Series control units must be installed by a qualified electrician
in accordance with all applicable regulations and building codes . Improper wiring can result
in personal injury or damage to control units or other equipment . Always turn off circuit
breaker or remove main fuse from power line before doing any work . To avoid overheating
and possible damage to equipment, do not install dimming devices to dim receptacles,
motor-operated appliances, or fluorescent lighting not equipped with Lutron Hi-lume
Eco-10
, or Tu-Wire
TM
In dimmed magnetic low-voltage circuits, you can prevent transformer overheating and fail-
ure by avoiding excessively high current flow: Do not operate control units with any lamps
removed or burned out; replace any burned out lamps immediately; use only transformers
that incorporate thermal protection or fused primary windings . Control units are designed
for residential and commercial use, for indoor use only .
Important Information about Loads and Wallboxes
GRAFIK Eye 3000 Series control units can control incandescent, halogen (tungsten), magnetic
low-voltage, and neon/cold cathode load types . Many dimmable fluorescent, electronic low-
voltage, and shade loads can be controlled with appropriate interfaces .
• All electronic low-voltage (ELV) lighting used with the electronic low-voltage interface must be
rated for reverse phase-control dimming, also known as trailing edge dimming . Before
installing an ELV light source, verify with the manufacturer that their transformer can be dimmed .
When dimming, an electronic low-voltage interface MUST be used with the control unit .
• Contact Lutron or refer to your job drawings for information on other product interfaces .
• Not all zones on the control unit need to be connected; however, connected zones must have a
load of at least 25 W (40 W for AU and CE models) .
• No zone may be loaded with more than 800 W (1200 W for AU models) .
• See page 2 for maximum unit ratings .
Step 1: Test the Loads for Short Circuits
CAUTION! Before connecting the loads to the control unit, test the loads for short-circuits .
1. Turn power OFF at the circuit breaker or fuse box .
2. Connect a standard light switch between the live lead and load wire to
test the circuit .
3. Turn power ON and check for short or open circuits . If load does not
operate, the circuit is open . If the breaker/MCB trips (fuse blows or
opens), a load short may exist . Correct short or open circuits and test
again .
Step 2: Turn the Power OFF
CAUTION! Before continuing with the installation, make sure the power is turned OFF at
the circuit breaker or fuse box . Do not perform any wiring with the power ON .
