Technical specifications confirm the implementation of the proprietary Clear Connect Type A protocol, operating at 434 MHz to bypass the saturated 2.4GHz frequency range. Material analysis of the PD-6WCL hardware reveals a leak-to-load power design, which allows for installation in infrastructure lacking a neutral wire, provided a minimum load of 25W is maintained or a LUT-MLC capacitor is integrated to mitigate LED ghosting. The internal architecture utilizes proprietary Lutron silicon engineered for resilience against voltage fluctuations.
Performance metrics for the associated Pico Remote, identified by FCC ID JPZ0098, demonstrate high energy efficiency, with a CR2032 power source typically maintaining operational viability for over 10 years. This longevity is attributed to ultra-low-power sub-GHz RF transmission protocols. Operational data indicates that TRIAC-based dimming may result in flickering with non-compatible LED loads, necessitating the use of a load shunt at the fixture.
Standardized testing protocols show that the 434 MHz signal remains isolated from Wi-Fi interference, ensuring consistent command execution. While the hardware allows for flexible mounting to simulate 3-way switching without structural modifications, system architecture requires a central smart bridge for protocol translation to IP-based voice and mobile interfaces.
The Lutron Pico Smart Remote is recommended as a modular expansion for this system due to its identical RF handshake and 10-year battery efficiency. Comparison of various infrastructure deployments can be conducted within the smart wall controllers classification to evaluate different RF and mesh topologies.
