SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
ProSys is designed to provide flexibility without compromising
simplicity in installation and operation. The Special Functions
described here may be used to enhance the operation of your
system, but they are not required in most installations.
Patterns
A Pattern is a combination of ONs and OFFs for a group of
relays which creates a scene. Any button on a dataline switch
may be softwired to create such a scene.
Simplifying Rule: If any button of a switch unit is softwired as
a Pattern, ALL of the buttons on that switch unit should be
softwired as Patterns.
When the relay pattern for a switch button is “true”, the LED
for that button will be ON RED. If “not true” the LED will be OFF.
Example – An office with four 3-lamp fluorescent
fixtures and six wall wash units (see Figure 5):
We want the local switch to provide
1
⁄
3
,
2
⁄
3
and Full On for the
fluorescents, and separate control of the wall-wash units. The
form below in
Figure 7
shows how the four buttons on a
quad switch would be softwired to create this switching
function. All of the buttons are wired as Patterns.
Reviewing the LED operation shows why this is important
(see
Figure 6
). When the occupant toggles the top button ON,
relay 01-01 will turn ON and relay 01-02 will turn OFF to give
1
⁄
3
lighting. The LED for
1
⁄
3
will turn on red. Pressing the second
button causes the relay states to reverse, giving
2
⁄
3
lighting.
The
1
⁄
3
button LED turns off (since its pattern is no longer
“true”) and the
2
⁄
3
LED turns on. Similarly, pressing the Full On
button turns ON both relays giving full lighting, the
2
⁄
3
LED
turns off, the Full LED turns on. Everything is as it should be.
If, on the other hand, we had softwired the third button as a
standard ON/OFF group, we would have seen an odd response.
Whenever, buttons 1 or 2 were turned on, the third button LED
would be on green, showing a mixed state for its relays.
