Vive PowPak Relay Module with Softswitch

The PowPak Relay Module with Softswitch is a radio-frequency
(RF) device that uses Lutron patented Softswitch technology to
control general-purpose loads based on input from Pico remote
controls and Radio Powr Savr occupancy and daylight sensors.
An optional, low-voltage dry contact closure output (CCO) is
available to communicate occupancy status to 3rd-party
systems such as HVAC controllers.

Communication with RF input devices, such as Pico remote
controls and Radio Powr Savr sensors, is accomplished using
Lutron Clear Connect RF Technology.

These products are also compatible with the Vive hub which
enables a simple setup process using a standard web browser
on any Wi-Fi enabled phone, tablet or computer. It also enables
control and monitoring of all Vive devices. The Vive hub can be
added at any time. System reprogramming will be required. For
a complete list of features supported with the Vive hub, see
specification submittal 369902 at www.lutron.com
Note for Replacement: RMJS / URMJS - the “S” model can
replace the non-”S” model.

wireless communication; refer to model number chart on
page 2 for band frequency details

• RF range is 30 ft (9 m)

• Wireless sensors and controls must be located within
60ft (18 m) line of sight, or 30 ft (9 m), through walls, of
the associated control module. The 60 ft (18 m) range is

Mounting

• This device can be installed on a junction box
or marshalling box using the conduit nut or with
mounting screws. The device must NOT be mounted
inside a metallic enclosure – only on the exterior of a
junction box, or marshalling box. Improper installation
can result in degraded wireless communications and
intermittent or sustained communications failures and
will not be covered under warranty. For applications
(in U.S.A.) where code requires the PowPak control to
be installed inside an additional junction box, please
see Lutron Application Note #423 (P/N 048423) at
www.lutron.com for how to perform this installation.
For all other installations, refer to the installation
instructions and consult local and national electric
codes for proper installation. The PowPak control
needs to be accessible for some programming steps.
Record where it is mounted of that it can be easily
located later.

Emergency Model Sequence of Operation

With a Vive hub:

• Normal mode: The RMJS-16R-DV-B-EM can switch
loads as normal and respond to local button presses,
Pico wireless controls, and occupancy / daylight sensors.

• If the emergency PowPak loses power for greater than
250 mS, it will automatically go into emergency mode
(full output, relay closed), when emergency power is
restored to the PowPak, for as long as the Vive hub
has no power. All local buttons, Pico wireless controls
and occupancy / daylight sensors will not respond. The
emergency light level of the emergency PowPak can be
configured using the Vive hub.

• When normal power is restored to the Vive hub and
emergency PowPak, the emergency PowPak will return
to the previous light level in most cases within 3 minutes,
but guaranteed within 10 minutes of normal power being
restored. It will again accept local button control, input
from Pico wireless controls, and occupancy / daylight
sensors.

Without a Vive hub:

• Normal mode: The RMJS-16R-DV-B-EM can switch
loads as normal and respond to local button presses,
Pico wireless controls, and occupancy / daylight sensors.

• If the emergency PowPak loses power for greater than
250 mS, it will automatically go into emergency mode (full
output, relay closed) for 90 minutes, when emergency
power is restored to the PowPak. All local buttons, Pico
wireless controls and occupancy / daylight sensors will
not respond for 90 minutes.

• When normal power is restored, the emergency PowPak
will remain in emergency mode for 90 minutes (full
output, relay closed). It will then return to the previous
light level and accept local button control, inputs from
Pico wireless controls, and occupancy / daylight sensors.

• Provides occupancy status to 3rd-party equipment
such as building management systems, HVAC, and
VAV controllers

• Provides both normally open (NO) and normally
closed (NC) dry contacts

• Maintained output type
