‘
All of these settings can be set through the a-2000 menu structure as
shown. However, in some installations which also have connected either
Dimension 4200 or Dimension 8000 control stations, other methods can
be used to set these settings.
Threshold
can be "captured" from the current live setting by issuing a fade time
of 253, Photocell Rec if using D4200 or D8000, on the Luma-Net channels
patched to the dimmers assigned to the analog input.
For example, to use this feature given the following
installation:
Photocell connected to Analog input 1
Analog Input 1 assigned to dimmers 7, 8, 9, & 10
Luma-Net channels 7, 8, 9 & 10 assigned to dimmers 7, 8, 9 & 10
1
Program a button/preset on either a D4200 or D8000 station with
channels 7, 8, 9, & 10 at any levels with a fade time of 253s, Photocell
Rec if using D4200 or D8000.
2
Create the desired lighting level in the space
3
Execute the button/reset
The current level reported by the photocell will now be stored as the target in
dimmers 7,8,9 & 10.
Enabling
dimmers to be controlled by their assigned photocell can also be
triggered from a button/preset on a D4200 or D8000 control device.
To Enable the dimmer for photocell control
1
Program a button/preset on either the D4200 or D8000 station with the
Luma-Net channel patched to the dimmer which you want to enable and
a fade time of 254, Photocell On if using D4200 or D8000.
2
Execute the button/preset.
The assigned dimmer will now be enabled for photocell control.

The majority are self explanatory, however a few deserve a little explanation.
