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.
