Lutron Grafik Eye QS

Grafik Eye QS is a range of configurable multi-circuit lighting control units, where lighting scenes can be pre-programmed and then recalled at the touch of a button.

About GRAFIK Eye QS

GRAFIK Eye QS is Lutron’s preset lighting controller with its own keypad, which controls lighting and blinds from a single unit, on its own or as part of a HomeWorks QS system. The units we supply are the 230 V wireless control units (QSGRK), with three, four or six zones of phase-dimmed or switched lighting and 16 scenes plus Off. Wired seeTouch QS wallstations and interfaces connect on its QS link, and Pico controls, sensors and Sivoia QS wireless shades by radio. Our units are refurbished or new box opened. Stock changes as units are sourced: if the model you need is not listed, contact us.

What you need for a system

This is an outline only. A system may need parts not listed here, and the exact parts and quantities depend on the project. The parts listed on our website are available to order. For anything else, please get in touch.

Technical details

Loads and ratings

Zones	Unit capacity	Zone capacity
3	1,500 W	500 W
4	2,000 W	500 W
6	2,300 W	500 W

Each zone dims incandescent, halogen, magnetic low-voltage, Lutron Tu-Wire fluorescent, and neon or cold cathode loads, or switches them as non-dim. A zone controls one load type at a time. A connected zone needs at least 40 W, and a magnetic low-voltage zone takes up to 500 VA (400 W).

Electronic low-voltage loads, and loads larger than these ratings, need a Lutron power module. 0–10 V lighting needs a Lutron interface, and DMX lighting the QSE-CI-DMX.

Scenes, timeclock and blinds

Four scenes and Off are on the front panel. Twelve more are stored in the unit and recalled from its timeclock, seeTouch QS wallstations or QS interfaces. Each scene has its own fade time, from 0 to 59 seconds or 1 to 60 minutes.

The astronomic timeclock is built in: seven daily schedules, one holiday schedule set by date, up to 25 events a day, the location set by city or by latitude and longitude, and automatic daylight saving.

A unit can have up to three blind columns, each with open, preset, close, and raise and lower buttons, for one Sivoia QS shade or a group. Wired and wireless shades can’t share a column, and blind columns can be added after installation.

By radio (Clear Connect, 868 MHz) the unit works with Pico wireless controls, Radio Powr Savr sensors, Sivoia QS wireless shades and other GRAFIK Eye QS Wireless units, up to 30 wireless devices in a QS system.

QS link and wallstations

Wallstations, interfaces and other GRAFIK Eye QS units connect on the QS link: up to 100 devices, wired or wireless, or 100 zones. A seeTouch QS wallstation counts as one device and no zones. The whole link can run up to 610 m.

Power run	Conductors	Cable
Up to 153 m	Power: one pair, 1.0 mm² (18 AWG). Data: one twisted, shielded pair, 0.5 mm² (22 AWG)	GRX-CBL-346S-500, GRX-PCBL346S-500, QS-CBL-LSZH-500
Up to 610 m	Power: one pair, 4.0 mm² (12 AWG). Data: one twisted, shielded pair, 0.5 mm² (22 AWG)	GRX-CBL-46L-500, GRX-PCBL-46L-500

Pin 1 is common, pin 2 is 24 V DC, and pins 3 and 4 are the two data lines (MUX). Between two devices that supply power, such as two GRAFIK Eye QS units, connect pins 1, 3 and 4 only, never pin 2. Join the cable’s drain wires to each other, but don’t earth them.

Wallstation	Layouts	Faceplate	Typical back box
QSWE (International)	10, from 2 buttons to 10 with raise and lower	86 × 86 mm	75 × 75 × 35 mm
QSWS2 (US style)	14, with 1 to 7 buttons	70 × 116 mm	95 × 55 × 70 mm

Both wallstations have two contact closure inputs and come in insert and non-insert styles.

Mounting and faceplates

The faceplate is 239 × 119 mm, stands 10 mm off the wall and needs 51 mm behind it. The unit fits a four-gang US back box (Lutron 241-400 or 245-254). Allow 25 mm around the box for the faceplate, and 110 mm above and below for heat.

Lutron sells units other than the standard models as a base unit and a faceplate kit. The kit carries the stripe and buttons, and is chosen by the number of blind columns (none to three), the top door (solid or translucent), the finish and the engraving. Both doors are hinged, open to 180° and lift off.

We supply units without a faceplate unless you ask for one when ordering.

Frequently asked questions

How many scenes does GRAFIK Eye QS store?

16 scenes plus Off. Four scenes and Off are on the front panel; the other twelve are recalled from the built-in timeclock, seeTouch QS wallstations or QS interfaces.

Can GRAFIK Eye QS control blinds?

Yes. A unit can have up to three blind columns, each with open, preset, close, and raise and lower buttons, for one Sivoia QS shade or a group. Wired and wireless shades can't share a column.

Does GRAFIK Eye QS dim LED lighting?

GRAFIK Eye QS units are leading edge dimmers, and can dim good quality leading edge LEDs. Please contact us to discuss LED specification.

Can GRAFIK Eye QS be part of a HomeWorks QS system?

Yes. A GRAFIK Eye QS unit can join a HomeWorks QS system on a wired QS device link or an RF link. On the wired link, pin 2 is not connected to the unit, because it powers itself.

Which keypads work with GRAFIK Eye QS?

seeTouch QS wallstations, wired on the QS link: the International style (QSWE) or the US style (QSWS2). Pico wireless controls work with it by radio.

What cable does the QS link need?

Standard Lutron QS cable, such as GRX-CBL-346S or the LSZH QS-CBL-LSZH, for power runs up to 153 m: one 1.0 mm² pair for power and one 0.5 mm² twisted, shielded pair for data. Longer power runs, up to 610 m, need 4.0 mm² power conductors, as in GRX-CBL-46L.

What back box does a GRAFIK Eye QS need?

A four-gang US back box, Lutron 241-400 or 245-254. Allow 25 mm around it for the faceplate, and 110 mm above and below for heat.

Can an AV or home automation system control GRAFIK Eye QS?

Yes. The unit has a wired infrared input for third-party equipment, and Lutron's QS interfaces add contact closure control (QSE-IO) and Ethernet or RS232 control (QSE-CI-NWK-E).

How do I order GRAFIK Eye QS parts?

Units are refurbished or new box opened, and come without a faceplate unless you ask for one when ordering. The parts listed on our website are available to order. If you need assistance with a GRAFIK Eye QS system, please get in touch.
