Antenna (AR-CA-WH) or Security Interface (AR-SI-
WH), and allows the wireless activation of AuroRa
Dimmers / Switches.

to 104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C). 0% to 90% humidity, non-
condensing. Indoor use only.
Finish: Do not paint the Tabletop Master Control.
Cleaning: To clean, wipe with a clean damp cloth.
DO NOT use any chemical cleaning solutions.
Power: Use only the adapter provided by Lutron

Using an adapter not rated at the following specifica-
tions could damage the control and possibly overheat
the adapter.
• Input: 120 V 60 Hz
• Output: 9 V 300 mA NEC®Class 2; IEC PELV
Radio Frequency Range: The Tabletop Master
Control should be located within 30 feet (10 m) of
the Central Antenna or Security Interface. The per-
formance of the Tabletop Master Control is highly
dependent upon a variety of
complex factors such as:
• Distance
• Construction of walls
• Electrical equipment nearby
System Control: Before the Tabletop Master Control
may be used to control lights in the AuroRa system, it
must be activated.
