Sound system/Lighting control system integration
Now it is possible to have the lighting follow the audio output Mix and Head Table Lamp Status from
the ML-116 room combining system. The addition of the ML-116-LU option interfaces LUTRON®
lighting to the ML-116 room combining system permitting lighting to follow audio using one inte-
grated wallplate.
The ML-116-LU option for the ML-116 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 coordinated
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 ‘ACU’ panel, which is providing 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 be-
tween the ML-116-INT, and the ‘ACU’ 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 components:
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.
