Sound system/lighting control system integration – FSR ML-800 User Manual

ML - 800
43
Now it is possible to have the lighting follow the audio output Mix Lamp Status from the ML-800
room combining system. The addition of the ML-116-LU option interfaces LUTRON® lighting to the
ML-800 room combining system permitting lighting to follow audio using one integrated wallplate.
The ML-116-LU option for the ML-800 system consists of a ML-116-INT unit and a special
wallplate designed to fit in a four gang plastic trim kit provided by LUTRON®. This four gang kit
mounts 1 LUTRON® controller and 1 FSR wallplate. The ML-116-INT unit receives RS-485 serial
data from the ML-116 system,
processes it and opto-couples electronic closures to properly operate the LUTRON® lighting
system. The data transmitted consists of mix switch status and head table status.
INSTALLATION
Equipment Areas
The sound system and lighting control system for the meeting rooms/ballroom shall be coordi-
nated at the wallstation and via the sound system’s room combining control.
The integration of the lighting control system to the sound system combining panel, FSR model
number ‘ACU’, shall be via contact closures. The integration shall allow the lighting controls to be
combined/separated based on the status of the partitions on the ML-800RACK panel, which is pro-
viding the same function for the audio controls.
The electrical contractor shall be responsible for the mounting of the ML-116-INT interface unit
and wiring to the lighting control system. The sound contractor shall be responsible for the wiring
between the ML-116-INT, and the ML-800RACK panel as well as the system setup to ensure proper
operation. Usually there will be a LUTRON® representative present to review the entire lighting
system and will also check on this phase of the installation.
Room Wallplates
Each room in the ballroom area has a control panel that fits in a standard 4 gang electrical box.
The wallstation model number shall be ML-116/LU4S. The control is comprised of three compo-
nents:
1. The ‘ML-116-LUWP’ control plate provided by FSR.
2. The ‘-4S’ lighting control provided by Lutron.
3. The ‘ML116/4S-FP’ screwless faceplate provided by Lutron.
Equipment - Room Combining Control Interface
The integration of the lighting control system to the sound system combining panel, FSR model
number ‘ACU’, shall be via contact closures, Lutron model number ‘GRX-AV’ or ‘FSR-CIP’ as the
project requires. The integration shall allow the lighting controls to be combined/separated based on
the status of the partitions on the ‘ACU’ panel, which is providing the same function for the audio
controls.
