Vive PowPak Relay Module with Softswitch Wireless Lighting Control
3691046c 1 11.16.17
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.
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 3691044.
Note for Replacement: RMKS - the “S” model can replace the
non-”S” model.

Specifications
Regulatory Approvals
CE (European Union)
Power
Operating voltage: 220–240 V~ 50/60 Hz
Standby Power Consumption < 1.0 W
System Communication
Operates using Clear Connect RF Technology for
reliable wireless communication; refer to model
number chart on page 1 for band frequency details
Wireless sensors and controls must be located within
9 m of the associated control module.
Metal Ceiling Tile Mounting
Metal ceiling tile grids must have a > 3 mm gap of
non-metallic material which extends the entire length
of the tile on at least one edge. This is often achieved
by foam spacers that are used to prevent tile-to-tile
rattling.
Metal ceiling tile grids which are continuous (with no
gap) or those that are interlocked, must have a total
surface area that is less than 81 m
2
for each section.
The overall space can be larger as long as there are
non-metallic sections bordering or intersecting the
metal sections.
Environment
Ambient operating temperature: 0 °C to 55 °C
0% to 90% humidity, non-condensing
For indoor use only
All drivers and ballasts used with Vive wireless controls
must comply with EN 55015 / CISPR 15
Output Ratings
-16R models: 16 A; -5R models: 5 A;
RMKS-16R models: No minimum load requirements.
Load types include (but are not limited to):
Incandescent, MLV, ELV, Resistive, Inductive,
Magnetic fluorescent, Electronic fluorescent
Motor rating:
RMKS-16R- models: 6 A 220 –240 V~
Softswitch
Patented Softswitch circuit eliminates relay arcing at
mechanical contacts
Extends relay life to an average of 1 million cycles
Output is non-latching
Key Design Features
LED status indicator shows current load status and
provides programming feedback
Power failure memory: If power is interrupted,
connected loads will return to the previous level prior
to interruption
