Application Examples
- Classrooms and lecture halls with occupancy/daylight-responsive dimming
- Conference rooms, training spaces, and divisible areas
- Hospitality and retail: restaurants, lobbies, sales floors
- Retrofits needing remote-mounted dimming without cutting in new wall controls
Installation Tips
- Use a metal 4"×4" box (2.125" min depth). Add an extension ring for extra wiring space; fully recess the body in the box.
- Plan RF layout: keep associated sensors/remotes within ~60 ft line-of-sight or ~30 ft through walls of the PowPak.
- Select phase mode: leave reverse-phase for most LEDs; switch to forward-phase for MLV, some drivers, or when using PHPM interfaces.
- Trim levels: set low-end (0–45%) and high-end (down to 55%) to stabilize low light and cap maximum output.
- Observe wiring: Hot (black), Dimmed Hot (red), Neutral (white), Ground (green screw). Output must feed the load directly.
FAQ
What does “Phase Select” mean on RMJS-PNE-DV?
It ships in reverse-phase mode for optimal LED performance, and can be changed to forward-phase via button presses or the Vive app.
How many wireless devices can I pair to one module?
Up to 10 Pico remotes, 10 Radio Powr Savr occupancy/vacancy sensors, and 1 daylight sensor per module.
What are the typical RF range limits?
Approximately 60 ft (18 m) line-of-sight or 30 ft (9 m) through walls between the module and associated controls.
Does it support 277 V forward-phase LED loads?
No. Forward-phase LED at 277 V~ requires an interface such as a PHPM device; otherwise use reverse-phase loads.
Is the unit plenum rated?
Yes. It is plenum rated for use in environmental air spaces.
Will my settings survive a power outage?
Yes. The device features 10-year power failure memory and will return to the previous light level after power is restored.
Can I get 0–10 V control from this device?
Use an external 0–10 V interface (e.g., GRX-TVI) when 0–10 V control is required.
What’s the difference between RMJS-PNE-DV and RMJS-PNE-DV-EM?
The EM version adds emergency lighting behavior and listings; it forces full output during emergency operation per sequence of operation.
