Softswitch128TM. standard switching panel |. 02 Lutron Lutron switching systems . designed and manufactured to provide exceptional value Ease of use Lutron switching panels are easy to program and operate. Wallstations are easily reprogrammed in the eld. Reliability Lutron's patented SoftswitchTM relay is rated to last a minimum of one million cycles for ultimate quality and durability, signi cantly reducing maintenance and service costs. See page 10 for more information on Lutron's patented SoftswitchTM technology. Lower installed cost switching panels can be purchased with or without circuit breakers to achieve the most economical installation. Low-voltage, daisy-chain wiring between panels and wallstations minimizes home-run wiring.
