ALD-D48 Network Lighting Solutions
Product Information
Overview
The ALD-D48 is the heart of an AMX integrated network lighting solution. The programatic
interface to the ALD-D48 appears similar to an AMX native device in that it utilizes a standard
AMX command set. When used with ALD dimmers and switches a complete Netlinx compatible
lighting system is formed.
Each ALD-D48 can support up to 48 ALD switches/dimmers (12 buses with 4 switches per bus).
Further, up to 10 ALD-D48s can be connected to one NetLinx master. This produces a "network" of
control for 480 switches/dimmers.

should blink once every 5 seconds.
Lutron Status
Off indicates no connection to the ALD-D48. This LED will blink green every
time a data packet is received from the ALD-D48. This LED should blink
several times a second under normal operating conditions.
ALD-D48 LEDs:
Power
On indicates unit has power.
ALD Communications
On indicates connectivity of ALD switches.
Heartbeat
Flashes slowly when power is properly supplied.
Processor Communications
On or blinking when communications from the processor are uninterrupted.
