System Overview
This guide describes installing processor panels and running low-voltage PELV (Class 2: USA)
wiring, such as the control station device (CSD), lighting zone controller (LZC), power panel, user
interface, and interprocessor links. See instructions included with all power panels and lighting zone
controllers for running line (mains) voltage wiring of those devices.
The GRAFIK7000, GRAFIK6000, and GRAFIK5000 lighting control systems have one or more
central processors that receive commands from control station devices, an eLumen manager, internal
timeclocks, or third-party systems and provide circuit information and lighting zone intensities to
devices connected to the power panel and lighting zone controller links.

If Ethernet is used to connect both the
interprocessor link and user interface link, they must
both enter the processor panel on the same
Ethernet wiring. There is only one Ethernet
connector per processor panel. A single Ethernet
segment can be up to 330 ft. (100 m) long. This
must be a dedicated network for Lutron lighting
control only.

RS485 Links can be up to 2000 ft. (610 m)
long when using the correct wire. See the
RS485 Wiring Overview for more details.
Link boosters can be used to expand link to
a maximum of 8000 ft. (2 440 m).
