DEH40206 Installation Instructions

DESCRIPTION

The ProSys Lighting Control System is a small network of
relay panels and occupant control switches linked by a 4-wire
dataline. Together, these devices form a reconfigurable
switching platform — one that uses “softwiring” instead of
hardwiring to link occupant switches to relays.

There are four basic configurations of SWS (or dataline
switches): the single-gang, 1-, 2- and 4-button RS1PS-x,
RS2PS-x and RS4PS-x, respectively, and the two-gang,
8-button RS8PS-x.

Each switch includes a bi-color LED status light for each control
button and a locator light. In addition, the 2-, 4- and 8-button
units have directories which accept standard 

3

8

" wide (9mm)

labels. The x suffix in the catalog number refers to button and
switchplate color: 2 = ivory, 4 = almond, 7 = white and 9 = grey.

ProSys softwired switches are available with a key-

enabled override function. The switch will be disabled
except when a key is used to activate a 5 minute
override period. Dip switch 4 must be in the off position
to enable this feature as shown on page 8. Order this
feature by adding a -K to the part number for the  1- 2-,
4-, and 8-button switch. For example: RS2PSxK.

Any button on a Softwire Switch may be softwired to:
• Any relay or group of relays within a single relay panel
• A channel within a single relay panel
• The same channel among multiple panels (requires an

RCLK8PS Softwired Clock, which also operates as a
handheld programmer)
