The QSE-CI-DMX control interface allows zones on a GRAFIK
Eye QS control unit or Quantum processor to control DMX512-
controlled devices. Any zone on the GRAFIK Eye QS or Quantum
processor can be mapped to either a single DMX512 channel or
to three separate DMX512 channels for RGB/CMY color-control
applications.
Key Features
• Map any zone on a GRAFIK Eye QS control unit or Quantum
processor to any single DMX512 channel
• Map any zone on a GRAFIK Eye QS control unit or Quantum
processor simultaneously to three DMX512 channels for RGB/
CMY color-control
• Integral RGB/CMY color lookup table that maps GRAFIK Eye QS
or Quantum zone intensities to RGB/CMY values
• For GRAFIK Eye QS Systems: RGB/CMY table can be
customized by using the Lutron QS Color Configuration Tool (PC
application available on the CD packaged with the QSE-CI-DMX,
and on www.lutron.com/qs)
• For Quantum Systems: RGB/CMY table can be customized by
using the Lutron Q-Design software
QS System
Lutron QS System components communicate over the highly
flexible QS link. There are a few rules to keep in mind when
designing and installing QS system components:
• Up to 100 devices on one QS link
• Up to 100 zones on one QS link
• Up to 2000 ft (610 m) QS link wiring length
• QSE-CI-DMX counts as one (1) device on the QS link
• Up to 32 DMX channel outputs

QSE-CI-DMX
SELV / PELV / NECR Class 2 Device 24–36 V- 60 mA
Requirements
The QSE-CI-DMX consumes 2 PDUs (Power Draw Units) on the
QS link, and requires the following:
• To power the system, either:
– At least one GRAFIK Eye QS control unit wired to the
QSE-CI-DMX through the QS communication link
Note: A QS Link Power Supply, such as the QSPS-P1-1-35V,
may be required if the total power draw units consumed
by QS accessories is greater than the supply capacity
of the GRAFIK Eye QS (see Lutron P/N 369405, "Power
Draw Units on the QS Link," for more information on
Power Draw Units)
or:
– A Quantum processor
Note: A Quantum Light Management Hub may be required
if the total power draw units consumed by QS accessories is
greater than the supply capacity of the Quantum processor
(see Lutron PN 369405, "Power Draw Units on the QS Link,"
for more information on Power Draw Units)
• DMX512 link terminators at both ends of the DMX512 link
(available from Lutron, part number LT-1)
• QS Communication Link Wire (SELV / PELV / NECR Class 2):

Mounting Options
Choose a mounting method below. Mount the control interface
in an accessible location.
A. Direct Wall Mounting. Mount the control interface directly
on a wall, as shown in the Mounting Diagram, using screws
(included). When mounting, provide sufficient space for
connecting cables.
B. Rack Mounting. Place the interface in the LUT-19AV-1U AV
rack using #6 or #8 (M3 or M4) screws (not included). The
LUT-19AV-1U will hold up to four units.
C. Enclosed Wall Mounting. If conduit is desired for wiring, the
LUT-5x10-ENC can be used to mount one unit.
