System Bridging TimeclockTM

RA-SBT, RB-SBT

120/127 V 50/60 Hz (18 V / 0.3 A adapter)

Installation Instructions

Overview

The System Bridging Timeclock (SBT) bridges two

RadioRA systems, providing a total of 64 Zone Controls

and 24 Master Controls. The SBT also provides an

RS-232 interface, contact closure inputs, and an astro-

nomic time clock.

Each SBT covers approximately 2500 square ft.

(232 m

) of living space.

Up to 3 RF Signal Repeaters may be used with the SBT

for each system to extend the communications range.

Important Notes

Codes: Install in accordance with all local and

national electrical codes.

Power: Use only the adapter provided by Lutron with

the SBT.

Caution - Using an adapter not rated for

the following specifications could damage

the SBT and possibly overheat the adapter.

• Input: 120/127 V 50/60Hz

• Output: 18 V / 0.3 A Class 2

Environment: Ambient operating temperature:

0-40°C, 32-104°F, 0-90% humidity, non-condensing.

Indoor use only.

Cleaning: To clean, wipe with a clean damp cloth.

DO NOT use any chemical solutions. Do not paint

the SBT.

Mounting: DO NOT ground the SBT. DO NOT

mount the SBT in a metal enclosure.

RF Device Placement: Master Controls and Zone

Controls that are to be controlled by the SBT must

be located within 30 ft. (9 m) of the SBT or an RF

Signal Repeater.

Setup: The SBT will not function until it is addressed

and programmed. See the System Bridging

Timeclock Setup and Programming Guide.
