Remote Power ModulesHomeWorks ® Remote Power Modules (RPMs) are used inboth centralised and hybrid system designs to controllighting, motor, and fan loads. There are severaldifferent models of RPMs; each model controls specificload types. The RPMs are mounted in one of theRemote Power Panels.D I M M I N G M O D U L E( M O D E L H W - R P M - 4 U - 2 3 0 - C E )The dimming module has 4 outputs that can dim orswitch incandescent, magnetic low voltage orneon/cold cathode. Each of the four outputs canswitch electronic low-voltage or fluorescent lighting.The total capacity of a dimming module is 13A @230V (3680W/VA) 2 . The maximum capacity of anysingle zone is 10A.D I M M I N G M O D U L E( M O D E L H W - R P M - 4 U - 2 4 0 [ N O N - C E ] )This module has the same characteristics as the abovemodel except this module has a total capacity of 16A@ 220-240VAC. The maximum capacity of any singleoutput is also 16A.M O T O R M O D U L E( M O D E L H W - R P M - 4 M - 2 3 0 )The motor module can control four 3-wire 230V ACmotors for applications such as shades, draperies, andcurtains. Each motor control uses two mechanicallyinterlocked relays for directional control that preventssimultaneous operation of both outputs. Maximumrelay contact rating is 1/2HP, 5A @ 230V for inductiveloads, and 1.5A @ 230V for resistive loads.P O W E R R E L AY M O D U L E( M O D E L H W - R P M - 4 R )The power relay module has 4 outputs that can switchincandescent, neon/cold cathode, magnetic low voltage,electronic low voltage, fluorescent, or high intensitydischarge (HID). The total capacity of a power relaymodule is 64A @ 220-240VAC. The total load capacityof any individual output is limited to 16A @ 220-240VAC, 1/3 HP.A D A P T I V E D I M M I N G M O D U L E( M O D E L M O D E L H W - R P M - 4 A - 2 3 0 )COMPONENTSThe adaptive dimming module has 4 outputs that candim incandescent, magnetic low-voltage, electroniclow-voltage or neon/cold cathode. The adaptivemodule uses our RTISS-TE technology to supply stablepower to the lights even in harsh power lineconditions. The total load capacity of the module is13A @ 230V (2990W). The total load capacity of anyindividual output is 8A (1840V).The adaptive dimming module is ideal for applicationswhere power conditions are non-ideal such as yachtsand ships. The adaptive dimming module may be usedwith any combination of other Remote Power Moduleswithin a HomeWorks Remote Power Panel.C O N N E C T I O N T O M O D U L E I N T E R F A C EAll RPMs must be connected to a Module Interfacelocated within the same Remote Power Panel. If aprocessor is located in the same panel as RPMs, aprocessor with an integral Module Interface must beused (either model H8P5-MI-CE and H8P5-MI-H48-CE).RPMs within an enclosure are connected to the ModuleInterface using a wire harness provided by Lutron.5.2 www.lutron.com
