System Functionality
This section describes each interface and how it is intended to function. This
information should be useful in how you approach your sales presentation, enabling
you to concentrate on the features most relevant to your customer.
Since this system was programmed in D3 Pro, it is important to understand what
features are available as they apply to each interface. The first thing to examine is
the way buttons can be programmed. This is defined as a “Button Model” in D3 Pro.
There is a wide variety of button models available to suit particular applications. All
of these models are listed with a description of how each function.
Button Models
Single Press
The single press button model provides one programmable event, meaning that when
you press this button, it always does the same thing.
Single Press + Dim
The single press + dim button model adds dimming capabilities to the single press
button model. If you press and release the button within 0.5 seconds, the button
operates normally. If you hold the button for longer than 0.5 seconds, the button
enters multi-dim mode. Once in this dimming mode, each alternate press of the
button ‘dims up’ or ‘dims down’ all the lights assigned to this button. That is, each
time the dim operation is activated, the lights dim in the opposite direction from the
last dimming operation. If all the lights are currently off, then the lights always ‘dim
up’.
NOTE : Multi-dim mode is a function of a press and hold. When a hold is released,
normal single press functionality resumes.
Toggle
The toggle button model has two programmable events generally referred to as the
on and off events. Each one of the events can be programmed independently, but are
usually programmed so that the first tap of the button turns on a light or lights to a
preset level and the second press turns it or them off.
Dim
The dim button model adds dimming capabilities to the toggle button
model. If you press and release the button within 0.5 seconds, the button operates
normally. If you hold the button for longer than 0.5 seconds, the button enters multi-
dim mode. Once in this dimming mode, each alternate press of the button ‘dims up’
or ‘dims down’ all the lights assigned to the press 1 event. That is, each time the dim
operation is activated, the lights dim in the opposite direction from the last dimming
operation. If all the lights are currently off, then the lights always ‘dim up’.
NOTE : Multi-dim mode is a function of a press and hold. When a hold is released,
normal toggle functionality resumes.
