Can the QSE-CI-NWK-E use RS232 and Ethernet at the same time?

No: Lutron document 369373 states that either the RS232 or the Ethernet connection can be used, not both. The RS232 cable is limited to 50 ft (15 m) and the Ethernet CAT5 cable to 328 ft (100 m).

How many interfaces fit on one QS link?

Lutron document 369373 allows up to 10 QSE-CI-NWK-E interfaces per QS link.

  • Each: 1 device and 0 zones, against the 100-device, 100-zone limit
  • Each consumes 2 power draw units
  • Each draws 65 mA at 24 V DC to 36 V DC

What wire does the QS link need?

Lutron document 369373 specifies a twisted, shielded 22 AWG (0.5 mm²) pair for data on every run.

  • Under 500 ft (153 m): an 18 AWG (1.0 mm²) power pair
  • 500 ft to 2000 ft (153 m to 610 m): a 12 AWG (4.0 mm²) power pair
  • Total control link not over 2000 ft (610 m)

How is the interface mounted?

Lutron document 369373 gives three mounting options, with the terminal blocks, switches and LEDs kept accessible.

  • Wall mount, #6 or #8 (M3 or M4) screws not included
  • In a LUT-19AV-1U AV rack, which holds up to four units
  • In a LUT-5x10-ENC enclosure when conduit is wanted

Which Lutron systems does the QSE-CI-NWK-E work with?

Lutron document 369373 lists Athena, Quantum, QS standalone and HomeWorks systems and says the interface suits most QS devices. The complete list of compatible components is in the integration protocol document 040249.
