CRESTRON
Lutron Interface
Description
Functional Description
There are two CRESTRON Lutron Interface configurations available: ST-LT and
STI-LT. Configuration differences depend on which power pack is supplied. The
ST-LT includes a power pack for a 120V AC supply and the STI-LT includes a
power pack for 220V AC. For purposes of this Operations Guide, the term ST-LT is
used for either configuration.
The ST-LT is a device that permits the CRESTRON CRESNET II System or
SmarTouch STS to interface with a Lutron GRAFIK Eye Lighting System. Future
ST-LT production models shall permit an interface with the Lutron Homeworks
System. If the ST-LT is part of the CRESNET II System, use of the supplied power
pack is optional.
Physical Description
The ST-LT is housed in a black enclosure with silk-screened labels on the front and
rear panels. On the front of the unit there are seven LEDs for indicating the unit’s
current status. All connections are made on the back of the unit. Refer to the physical
views shown after this paragraph. There are four rubber feet on the base of the unit
for stability and to prevent slippage.

ST-LT Ports
A number of ports are provided on the back of the ST-LT. Each has a silk-screened
label. Refer to illustration and descriptions below.
ST-LT Ports
12 VDC .5 A
This DC power socket connector is used to supply external power via the supplied
500 mA power pack (1000 mA power pack for the STI-LT). If the ST-LT is part of
the CRESNET II System, use of the supplied power pack is optional.

CRESTRON
NET
These two 6-pin, 6-position RJ11 modular jacks are used to connect the ST-LT
module to either the SmarTouch STS or CRESNET II remote control system. When
the module is part of the CRESNET II system, power is provided via the NET
connection; the supplied power pack need not be attached. Two NET ports are
available so that network units can be daisy-chained together. Review the latest
revision of the Network Modular Cable Requirements (Doc. 5682).
NOTE: Most 4-conductor phone cables are wired in a crisscross fashion and are not
compatible with CRESTRON equipment.
If the power pack is attached when the ST-LT is part of the CRESNET II system,
power is drawn from the power pack. The module does not load the network power,
but the network power remains chained for additional network devices that are
connected.
RS-232
This 9-pin (DB9) connector is a Lutron compatible RS-232 interface for connections
to a PC running Lutron configuration and control software. This connector is
equivalent to Lutron’s GRX-AV-RS232.

Setup
Identity Code
Every equipment and user interface within the CRESNET II requires a unique
identity code (NET ID). These codes are recognized by a two-digit hexadecimal
number from 03 to FE. The NET ID of each unit must match an ID CODE specified
in the “NET.ID” statement of the CRESNET II SIMPL-I program in order for the
device to be addressed properly. The NET ID of each ST-LT has been factory set to
1C, but may be changed from the PC via STS/VTW software or the CRESNET II
Workshop.
Change NET ID via STS/VTW Software
Attach the ST-LT to SmarTouch STS or CRESNET II system (verify that the
STS/VTW software is running) and complete the following steps to change the NET
ID.
1. Disconnect all network devices from the CRESNET II network or
modular devices from the STS system, except for the one ST-LT that
needs to have its NET ID code changed.

Dip Switch Settings for GRAFIK Eye Use
An eight-position dip switch is mounted to the ST-LT PC board. The switch
positions (switches 6 and 7 ON) are factory set for typical use of the ST-LT within a
CRESNET II System or SmarTouch STS. However, in certain GRAFIK Eye
systems, the switch positions may need to be altered.
If it is determined that the switch settings must be changed, power down the ST-LT
and complete the following steps.
1. Turn the unit over and place it top-side down on a soft, clean surface.
2. Loosen and remove four screws and washers that secure the top cover
to the ST-LT.

Programming
Using STS/VTW Software
NOTE: The following description assumes that the reader has some knowledge of
STS/VTW software. If not, please refer to the SmarTouch Tutorial that is available
from the STS/VTW Help menu.
Use STS/VTW software (version 10.7 or higher and STS database version
10.7.100.02 or later) to include the ST-LT in lieu of a Lutron GRAFIK Eye device
into a SmarTouch system. Once included, a command sequence or macro must be
enabled via software. The macro prompts which MAIN-UNIT is controlled and
dictates which actions are to be followed. The procedural steps that follow this
paragraph provide the general course necessary to include the ST-LT into a
SmarTouch system and build and assign a macro.
1. Select Open and Smartouch System from the File menu to open a
specific SmarTouch system. The software displays the “SmarTouch
Pro Editor” dialog box (formally known as “SmarTouch System
Manager”).
2. Double click on the next available open device (DEVICE #) in the
Devices section of the dialog box. The software displays the “Device
Selection and Configuration” dialog box.
Alternatively, the ST-LT can
be selected by choosing
Lighting, Lutron, and
GRAPHIK Eye via ST-LT in
the appropriate fields.
3. Define the device by selecting the Crestron Database, Lighting (as the
type), Crestron (as the manufacturer), and ST-LT (as the Model). For
this sample, replace DEVICE # with ST-LT in the [Name:] field. By
default, a Net ID of 1C is assigned. The dialog box should appear as
shown below; click OK.
Device Selection and Configuration Dialog Box
4. Once the ST-LT has been added to the SmarTouch system,
functionality must be assigned to buttons residing on a lighting page.

5. Open or create a lighting page with associated buttons. The STS
Wizard uses template projects, many of which offer typical lighting
pages. One such page is shown below. To use a page from the
template, copy it to the touchpanel project and customize as needed.
Refer to Copy and Paste from the STS/VTW Help menu for details.
Lighting Page Sample
HINT: An alternate method
would be to address the
MAIN-UNIT # when the
button that opens the lighting
p
age is depressed. Buttons on
the lighting page can then be
assigned individual (SCENE
or ZONE) commands.
6. While the lighting page is open, a macro must be defined to identify
the MAIN-UNIT # and assign specific SCENE or ZONE commands.
The MAIN-UNIT # assignment only needs to be sent once . If
controlling multiple MAIN-UNITS, it can also be included and sent
each time there is a SCENE or ZONE change. Select Create Macro
from the Control menu to open the “Macro Edit” dialog box.
7. Replace MACRO # in the [Name:] field with a relevant name such as
Zone1-Up. The dialog box should appear as shown below.

The sample ST-LT SIMPL program allows two scenes for the Grafik Eye; scene 2
on Main Unit 1 and scene 16 on Main Units 7 and 8. It also allows zone 3 to be
ramped up and down. The MV symbols are used to detect the release of the UP and
DOWN buttons which results in the transmission of the appropriate zone up/down
stop commands.
Workshop
The CRESNET II Workshop is designed to simplify the various operations needed
to program and run a CRESNET II control system. The series of screen displays
shown below are accessible from the “Define Network” option of the SIMPL-I
Menu in the CRESNET II Workshop. These screens are shown to clarify the means
of assigning signal names for the SIMPL program in the previous illustration.
ST-LT Workshop Screens (1 of 4)
The ST-LT definition supports a subset of the ST-COM definition; use A_IN,
A_OUT for serial string transmission as well as the regular “in” and “out” directions
for hard-coding serial data.

The ST-LT is defined as an “ST-COM, Port A”. Enter “GRAFIK” into the baud rate
field to allow the ST-LT to communicate with the Grafik Eye unit. The fields for
parity, data bits, and stop bits are not used and may be set to any value.
If Port B is defined to be 9600 N81, a RS-232 link to the Grafik Eye unit through the
RS-232 port on the back of the ST-LT is permitted. The RS-232 port is bidirectional;
data can be transmitted and received to/from the Grafik Eye. Typically, this port is
used for debugging only. A standard DB9 male/DB9 female straight-through cable is
used to go from this port to a PC.
