System Bridging TimeclockTM
RA-SBT, RB-SBT
120/127 V 50/60 Hz (18 V / 0.3 A adapter)
Installation Instructions
Overview
The System Bridging Timeclock (SBT) bridges two
RadioRA systems, providing a total of 64 Zone Controls
and 24 Master Controls. The SBT also provides an
RS-232 interface, contact closure inputs, and an astro-
nomic time clock.
Each SBT covers approximately 2500 square ft.
(232 m2) of living space.
Up to 3 RF Signal Repeaters may be used with the SBT
for each system to extend the communications range.
Important Notes
Codes: Install in accordance with all local and
national electrical codes.
Power: Use only the adapter provided by Lutron with
the SBT.
Caution - Using an adapter not rated for
the following specifications could damage
the SBT and possibly overheat the adapter.
• Input: 120/127 V 50/60Hz
• Output: 18 V / 0.3 A Class 2
Environment: Ambient operating temperature:
0-40°C, 32-104°F, 0-90% humidity, non-condensing.
Indoor use only.
Cleaning: To clean, wipe with a clean damp cloth.
DO NOT use any chemical solutions. Do not paint
the SBT.
Mounting: DO NOT ground the SBT. DO NOT
mount the SBT in a metal enclosure.
RF Device Placement: Master Controls and Zone
Controls that are to be controlled by the SBT must
be located within 30 ft. (9 m) of the SBT or an RF
Signal Repeater.
Setup: The SBT will not function until it is addressed
and programmed. See the System Bridging
Timeclock Setup and Programming Guide.

4. Configure the SBT. Use the SBT display to set
configuration.
5. Connect Serial Link (if applicable). Connect a
standard DB9 male connector to the RS-232 con-
nector on the SBT for communications with other
equipment.
6. Connect external input closures (optional). The
SBT accepts three low-voltage dry contact clo-
sures. Connect wiring for closures to input terminal
block if desired (see Wiring Diagram—page 3).
When using the input closures:
Verify compatibility of external devices. The input
closures are intended for use with devices that
provide outputs in the form of dry contact closure
outputs. The input closures may be used with
ground-referenced, solid-state outputs if the out-
puts have an on-state saturation voltage of less
than 2 V and an off-state leakage of less than
50 µA. Dry contact or solid-state outputs must be
capable of switching 18 V at 10 mA. The outputs
must stay in the closed or open states for at least
40 msec in order to be recognized by the SBT. If
there is any question as to whether the contact
closure device is compatible with these specifica-
tions, contact the manufacturer of that device.

Installation
1. Find a suitable location for the SBT. Place the
SBT in a convenient and accessible location. See
RF Coverage Diagrams on page 5.
2. Mount the SBT. Mount SBT to wall using the
appropriate mounting hardware provided (see
Mounting Diagram). Orient the processor’s anten-
na for optimal performance. For most installations,
the antenna should be oriented vertically. Note:
DO NOT ground the SBT. DO NOT mount the SBT
in a metal enclosure.
3. Apply power to the SBT.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digi-
tal device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide rea-
sonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equip-
ment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be deter-
mined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the inter-
ference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the seperation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
